Parking a vehicle on it would do the trick

I was unlucky enough to have a power surge (dodgy smart meter installation) which took out everything except the case and keyboard.

Vice grips, Pliers, Screwdriver.

I'll give some examples of my experiences (excluding spontaneous death)...

Cases: Mostly the plastic front panels. Just destroying the plastic clips on them.

CPU: Always the bent pins, always.

GPU: Torn from various laptops (Those things are NOT meant to come out).

Ram: These two laptop sticks were wedged awkwardly in this plastic draw, I pulled so hard trying to get it out I bent one stick  into nearly a semi-circle.

 

Harddrive: Screwdriver hammered straight through.

CD drive: Pulled a few apart in my early days just to see how they work.

PSU: Mostly spontaneous death.

MoBo: Loose 24 pin, pushed it against the back plate. (I can't remember if that one killed the PSU also).

Fan: Over volted may of these poor bastards.

Headphones: Chewed through a cable or two.

Mice: Mostly spontaneous. Killed one trying to integrate it with a glove.

Screens:

LCD: Didn't kill it, but for some insane reason I felt like I should hold a small blowtorch up to my laptop screen. It did indeed produce a small melted patch.

CRT: RIP the CRT monitor that met it's demise at the hands of me, my friend and several hammers.

That's just a few of my many, many components that have met their fate at my hands.

 

Keyboards: Mostly spontaneous.

 

Webcams: Collateral damage during laptop tear downs.

Power/Ethernet/USB/Various leads: Stripped to form adapters/stripped wires.

USB sticks: Snapped a few connectors.

UPS: I am yet to kill a UPS. There is still time.

Laptop Batteries: Torn apart just to see what's in there.

Printers: Tried to clean one after ants nested in it... Nope...

Game Controller: Spontaneous mostly.

Floppy drive: Same as CD.

CD/Floppy disks: Scratches and just for the hell of it.

Sound Cards: Spontaneous mostly, think I tore one up for shits n giggles.

Network Cards: See above.

USB Cards: See above.

I think that sums it up.

I'll add more if I think of any, but that's pretty much everything inside a computer.

Stay away from my computer! STAY BACK I SAY!

I had a couple of OEM GTX 7xxx series cards melting the mount for their fan :D Got 3 replacements within the 3 years warranty...

[wkronbaek]

My old pc had thermal paste all over the place inside it (half of it on the motherboard literally), couldn't get it returned to warranty as i had no way of knowing without taking it apart which ruins warranty  -.-

So twelve people (as of this post) have had their cases die on them... What did they do, throw it out the balcony? :D
