Fun ways to kill your computer...

Catfish_Man:
Write to a null handle on a machine without protected memory (a pre-OSX Mac, for example). If you get lucky and hit the right part of memory you can get quite spectacular crashes, complete with graphical and/or sound effects.

Linux is only an iffy idea if you want to run dual-boot on the same hard drive.  I'm running XP and Suse 10, each on a seperate hard drive, and life is good.  No worries.

NTLDR :( is installed on the MBR of sda. I just mount /boot as a seperate partition (HDA1) and tell bios to use the PATA drive as the first boot device. It soughts out a lot of the hassles. I'll probably ditch the old hard drive eventually. but it's so fun bragging about have 800gb of hard drive space :)

GileX:
Ooh 800 GB, nice, i was playing around with a few of those new 750 GB drives and i managed to create 1.5 TB of space for myself, didnt quite know what to do but yeah, it was fun

thepugs:
Scytale, I said it was iffy, not impossible.  I'm merely a Linux noob.  Anyone with a reasonable amount of experience can figure it out.

GileX:
Oh i heard of a good one, this guy mounted his motherboard without seperating it from the case so it was shorting on the case constantly, his motherboard started smoking :P
