Great victory against the Dell PC bandit attack, glad you made it out in one piece
Nothing better than the plinking range, we had to to fend of the attack of 24 hard charging (aggitated & shaken) soda cans and bunch of clay pigions yesterday.
Glad to report we made home in one piece, can't say the same for the soda's & Clays.
Since the motherboard is on the left (as viewed from the front), that appears to have been a fairly new computer. Wasn't worth upgrading, selling, fixing, giving away?

Its the odd Intel BTX form factor that they were trying to shove down the industries throught back in 2005 when that computer was made. That model from Dell already had its mobo replaced once under warranty a year before. Even the Dell tech that came out said that if it did it again, just replace the whole thing. Wouldn't you know it, and it began to overheat and randomly reset and restart AGAIN in Dec. Even after four hours of working on the damn thing, I had no luck. At times like that, you cut your loses and move on. Technology move so fast that it boils down to cost vs loss. In this case, with no warranty and the price to even think of getting an new mobo, a new computer with warranty was the best option
TVs/monitors are lots of fun to kill, but do it somewhere where glass shrapnel isn't a problem. THe first shot creates an explosion from the picture tube that's near .38 Special levels.
A trip to the desert with a box of hard drives and an old PC taught me the value of slugs. Next best were the rifles. Handguns (as you can see in those pictures) are not very effective against computers and shot (including buck) just dented sheetmetal.
