That's great, relieve some stress ;) I see you got the pick-axe out there too, very nice!
It reminds me of the part in Office Space where they smash the photo copier

i have dreamed of doing such things to so many pieces of obnoxious hardware
Thats very dangerous, there is a lot of power stored in there. You could very easily get electrocuted very severly from doing that. Glad you made it out alive... :) . Thanks for the pics.

That came to mind, so I let it sit in unplugged for about 2 weeks, just to be safe. Sure was fun smashing that thing, my friends and I were going to set it on fire but with all the capacitors, plastic and smoke it didn't really make for a good plan. O well.

That's why they have gas-stations... 93octane fuel... no more issue. :D :mad: :mad: :attn:

Maybe the smoke would have gone back inside, and it would start to workey again. :eh?:
i got the same monitor...17" tho...with the little yellow mic cable....damn thing.

Capacitors and such are explosive, that would be bad ;)

Well the capcitors can't be as explosive as a car battery. *thinks back 10 years ago when I was a young lad* Throw car battery into fire, run like a mofo, BOOOOM hehe. Nice blast from that sucker.

I took a hockey stick to a monitor before. It went straight through. What else is nice are giant iron bars. I don't know what they're for but I took one and impaled any old hardware I could with it. It was about seven feet long and weighed a good 40 pounds.

don't forget throwing it in your lake afterwards pat :D
*gestures to lake with a mirror surface on it thanks to several gallons of lubricants/paint balls/dead hardware/trash*
Heh, that's awesome, I'm sure somewhere inside of all of us there was some piece of hardware that we wanted to throw out a window or in your case....................savagly beat a helpless monitor to chards.

Um...dont throw it in the lake! There are only 5~9lbs of lead in a monitor like that and would be very bad. Not mentioning if you ever got caught there would be some type of federal violation or something like that. Lead is a pain to clean up and they would charge you $$$$$$. Cool pics though, just try and clean up afterwards and not break federal laws. Maybe bring it to a recycling center :)

I like it... A LOT! Reminds of what I did to an ancient terminal monitor... One of my friends an I were playing "catch" with it and he dropped it. The case cracked open... so I got mad and kicked in the glass from the front... and my friend kicked the glass in from behind. There was a loud cracking/shattering noise... and we had a terminal that was in a million little pieces... lol

I do this all the time with old broken hardware components, 'tis very fun... In fact, My CD drive just crapped out on me today...be back later. :D
Hehe poor monitor.
Wouldn't it be a huge risk though? I always though that crt mons had huge vacuum tubes, that when exploded, would send shards everywhere?

Can't wait till i get my three viewsonic LCD's.
