Frustrated man takes his computer out back and shoots it eight times

The computer had it coming :)

It's very relaxing. 20 years ago I took mine out to a baseball diamond (it was broken beyond repair and it was too old to bother replacing parts) so I took an aluminum bat to it. I made sure to have all the parts inside unscrewed so I could play baseball and then I took hard blows to the chassis. I did clean up the mess afterwards. I also made sure nobody was around at the time I did it, as I didn't want to explain to the cops my fits of rage at a machine.

I guess this is what is called Rage Against the Machine.

Looks like a Dell Dimension.
Poor old thing.
Mine (albeit with several upgrades) is still going strong, great PCs in my opinion ;)

He missed the power supply, LOL.

i wonder if the bullet pierced the heat sink. the aluminum they use is pretty good at stopping projectiles.

Yeah...but it doesn't count as "still going strong" when you have to replace all the capacitors yourself.

That all depends on the projectile. I've seen what a 10MM auto does to solid steel plate...but then I've also seen a 45 ACP bullet bounce around inside a beer can rather than punch through the back side (to be fair this doesn't happen much).
