Well, My parents Won't let me get a new Mobo until this one is broken, Because i just spent $400 on Upgrades. Is there any way to destroy/damage beyond reasonable repair WITHOUT damaging any othercomponents?

Thanks, Taylor

Aside from the obvious....

Remove everything from your computer, take out the CPU and make sure nothing else is installed on the motherboard.

Next, get a hammer....smash, smash, smash!

Aside from the obvious....not that I can think of, but then again it's late and I should be in bed.

Buy it with your own money. Why would they stop you? Unless your trying to get them to buy it for you. If that's the case I don't condone breaking your stuff just so your parents buy you more stuff.

I think it's silly, but amusing.

The best way to do it is probably to short out the mobo by screwing it into the case without the brass stand-offs. That seems to short out and kill the mobo without smashing it, but it's probably best if you don't have your CPU, RAM and Video Card attached... or your HDDs lol.

Hmmm..... you want to smash your mobo? Ok, how old is your mobo that you used?

Just undervolt your RAM or CPU. That way you won't ruin your old motherboard...

That's actually a pretty good idea.
