I picked up a computer from the side of the road once. Got it home and opened it to discover the inside totally smashed! RAM sockets beaten down with a hammer and screwdriver! Processor socket totally ripped off! PCI slots busted! I think you know what's coming- yup, the hard drive was totally untouched. I hooked it up, copied the data off it to a DVD and mailed it to the guy with a letter about how to actually destroy the data on a machine. I also chided him, if the machine still worked before his "ministrations" there are many uses for old hardware (that I certainly don't need to tell you guys about).
Moral: if are a n00b and you think you're destroying your machine, you aren't. Get someone who knows what they're doing!
Some great porn on that machine too....
Ah, good times, good times.... :-)
