So I've got an old crappy desktop I never use. Big tower. Useless. Sold the monitor and sound system for a bit of cash, but nothing useful from the tower itself.

So here's the question: commence pre-deployment stress relief by taking it out on aforementioned tower?

Pics will be posted of it happens.

EDIT: You pick the weapons of doom! Non-firearm and non-explosive. So sledgehammers, axes, tire irons, high altitude drop...your choice!

If the tower is completely useless with nothing in it, sure, take the sledgehammer and axe to it. Be sure to post video instead of pictures though. If a picture tells a thousand words, a video is worth thirty thousand words per second when shot at 30 fps.

By all means keep the case. Next time you build a computer i'm sure you don't want to slap down money for another one.

I'm using a computer case from 2000 still that my dad first used, then a friend, then another friend. It made it's way to me, i ripped out the innards and tossed the latest hardware in there and here i am.

But, if the case is old AT style (you didn't mention age of the computer), then by all means destroy it.
If the case is proprietary, destroy it.
If the case is a non proprietary, non AT, and is a cheapo, then contemplate destroying (although i'd keep the case, whatever saves $20-$70 dollars on a new home built computer).

I recommend combustion potato gun with a frozen 20oz. diet coke. A potato gun is not a fire arm. A combustion variant does utilize hair spray or car starting fluid for propelling the projectile. If you really don't like fire, then use a pneumatic potato gun. A frozen 20oz. diet coke projectile you'll be very satisfied with blasting at the computer more than any melee weapon i can promise.

Other than that 20 pound sledge (it's put big holes in cars and is very satisfying).

Actually have a 12 pound sledge in the garage right now.

12 pound sledge....and what's even better is that you're already in possession of one

20 pounders are nice because they're more of a challenge. Depending on how much you hate something, the faster you'll want to swing it, and a 20 pounder has a lot of force behind it. 20 pounder equals some big holes in things within a minute, and it makes you tired, but satisfying; you know for a fact you kicked an inanimate objects ass.

12 pound sledge ought to do just fine though if you ask me and the same amount of mayhem in about the same amount of time.

Save the casing, like S-99 said.

I was about to recommend a very strong torchlight, but that might be too dangerous and take too long.

It'll be nice if you could get the beam cannon from Northrop Grumman, though.

I don't think it's cheap, but firing a GAU-8 at anything you want destroyed could be a very sadisfying thing to see.

Of course, I would prefer just to sell everything useless for a few dollars to somebody, preferably on service like EBay or Amazon (for a couple more than few if it's old enough to count as something a collectors would want).

CATAPULT!

That would be beyond amazing.

I might buy it from you, where do you live?

Don't destroy it. Make it look as nice as possible and fill the sucker with cement. Then leave it somewhere where it's begging to be stolen.

Nonono, fill it with cement, THEN throw it onto the bosses car.

Post specs to determine worthiness and obsolecensce.

Use a catapult to fling it into position, where a trebuchet's load (bowling ball filled with cement) will arrive at the same time. And have a ballista fire the sledgehammer at them, as well.
