I actually have a dead comp from the office sitting next to me in the house...I've been asked to give it one more shot before I declare the mobo dead for good (dell dim 1100...yes they're still using these at the ofc...beep code 4-2-1)... I also have some ooooooold parts from past comps...a 486 board, a couple of 1-mb vid cards, sound card with AWE64 written on it...

I've got an old Compaq 486 DX4/100 I was going to do this to, simply because I've got no other use for it. Well, had no other use until I came into possession of a few small HDDs and a copy of Red Hat 5.
Now it's an MP3 jukebox

I've got an old "slow-as-molasses, Windows-ME-running" dog of a desktop that is just waiting to have that happen to it. Of course, I'll probably do the responsible thing & send it to the recycling place behind my apartment. But a sledgehammer would be much more fun.

But, the story gets better! When I put that thing out for the trash last week...someone took it. I'd put it out the night before, along with the usual assortment of garbage cans. When I dropped the kitchen trash the next morning, it was gone. Do I really want to know just *why* someone would want a flattened computer case?

New Years eve my flat mates and some of our friends met at our rehearsal space (which is in an industrial area) with all the dead technology from the year, a golf club, a crow bar, a sword and a hammer. The results speak for themselves....
