So here's the story:
For the past 2 years or so, my desktop PC has been steadily degrading into a horrible putrid mass of useless electronics. The graphics card is defective (something I didn't know about until the warranty expired and PNY decided to ignore the fact that it had been defective from the purchase date), and there's some other software-level issues I can't resolve.
EDIT: To make it clear I do plan on stripping out anything useful before destroying what will basically amount to a faulty motherboard, a corrupted (and small) HDD, a CD drive that won't open (unless someone I know wants it), and the case.
The dark days of 100% cpu usage just looking at the desktop are about to be repaid in kind.
My new laptop arrives Thusday, one day after this is posted.
I require revenge ideas. Things within human reason.
One suggestion (and the good ones will be compounded and listed here) comes from iDieforEXP:
Suggestion: "window"
Actual Action: Video of the offending machine tossed from a 20ft ladder into the woods behind my house. (It will later be retrieved and recycled so as to not pollute like an arsehole).
Position in the grand revenge scheme: Final Insult
Suggest more things for me to do and request EITHER (not both) pictures OR video.
Accepted suggestions will be listed in the OP with the format:
Name:
Suggestion:
