You can check out this poor system here: http://ccshick.dhs.org/deadsystem/
Seems the woman was spending too much time on the net (or looking at stuff she wasn't supposed to, I couldn't get her to tell me) and the husband got mad, drug the system out to the backyard, and beat it with a sledgehammer.
Umm...is this covered under warranty?

Paint your old laptop!
If it is a typical WD drive I bet it does not even spin up now. Wonder how hard it would be to get an RMA for that one...
So far, the only good piece of hardware I've been able to get out of it is a 64mb pc100 ram chip. Everything else is pretty much broken. Even the pcu (PIII 550) is cracked. About half of the contacts on the cpu are broken off of the circuit board.
Wooooohhhhhoooo!!!
Must've been one mad hubby!
Wow, wasn't there a post about a bullet hole somewhere at this site? Would have been les work!
Driverguy should have this on his front page and ask for captions. Its a lot funnier than burger boy. Shawn can you get on it?
Too funny, although I admit wanting to do smash a computer before. Is it an E-Machine?

Couldn't be an E-Machine, that had a WD drive not a Samsung or whatever the flavor of the week is for those high quality machines!!! A guy did this because of his wife? Are you sure he wasnt trying to fix a Windows BSOD?

I don't belive that her husband did this. I reckon it was a major system crash that caused it https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2000/09/1.gif Typical MS operating system https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2000/09/1.gif

We had one in several weeks ago that an irrate husband did some damage to, but he just picked it up and threw it. They got lucky, the only damage was a bent case that was still usable and when he threw it, the monitor was still attatched, and it ripped the cable out of the monitor, so we soldered a new connector to the monitor mainboard and all worked fine....amazing!!

Three things are certain: Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
Speaking of crashes... Just got one in for an insurance estimate. (had several this week so far for lightning damage, but this one is different) nThis poor Dell, Monitor printer and all was involved in a car crash on the interstate. considering the two page list of physical damage I already have, I am surprised (gross understatement) that no one was seriously injured in the accident. Took 45min just to pry open the case. CPU (slot 1) sheared of the board slot and all. Hard drive sounds like a baby rattle.

That's what happens to your computer when you don't pass on those chain-letter emails.
Must have been running Microcrap.
Wow. I saw one once that a disgruntled ex attacked with the new boyfriend's samurai sword collection--everything still worked but uuuugggglllyyy. Speaking of which, saw another one that had gone through a fire hot enough to melt the metal case: moved the MB,HD,Modem, etc to another case and everything still worked!!!!
Come on now, we all know that was a trouble system that a tech just couldnt handle. You know, there is therapy for times like those
I work for a computer co. and we bash about 3 emachines a month and about 2 Hp and month and as many Compaqs at possible. Ill record it next time and post it.

I know ppl like to bash Emachines, but I have one up as a Unreal Tournament Server. It runs full time. It's the early model too, the 440i. I replaced the poor power supply, put a 3Com Network card and put in an IBM HD 8.4gig. It's a Celeron 400 with 96 megs of Ram. Other than the Power supply, I got this for free because a customer went postal and left the store without wanting it back.
Talk trash about trash, but the sucker works pissa!

Wow. Maybe it got the "I am going to cut you up into little pieces and then I am going to make an *** out of you when you seek repair" virus. You think?
MUA AHA AH AH AH AHAH!!
Looks like a mafia(computer "cosa nostra") hit to me. Thats what happens when computers dont pay up. Mu ha ha ha ha ha ah ah.
Only thing that even COMPARES to this is when I watched a van overturn at high speed (45 MPH), the back door came open and a computer case came skidding out. Went about 100 yards, hit a curb, flipped 20-25 feet in the air straight up, and BLOOOEY! didn't stick around to see if it would POST. The driver looked like he had just shot someone's dog. He just called the cops and sat on the curb.

hell, would have been more fun to pack it full of gun powder and use a small flash bulb (with the glass removed) on the 12volt side of the power connector (and a LONG extension cord..

Are we abslolutely certain that this "unfortunate" machine wasn't a Packard Hell running some variant of the Microjunk NT OS? This combination I am told is deadly and highly discouraged for private sector use. Most prisons use this as an alternative to execution.
