Just curious... If I (or a character) ever wanted to kill someone with computer equipment, what would be the best way to do it apart from cable-cord strangulation? I suppose one could bash the victim in the head with the monitor. My monitor is quite heavy. But I don't think I could wield it as a weapon with any kind of speed or efficiency.
nah, best way wouldn't be cable cord strangulation- that'd take too long, and while some of them are thick indeed, they're not all that strong. I mean, you might get the job done, but it'd probably be messy and take a while.
I'd say first hit them over the head with an external drive, or maybe the power supply brick, if you already have it disassembled partway. Those suckers can be heavy and not just weight-wise, but by density! (Besides, the motherboard might actually break before you crack their skull, and most monitors are too cumbersome to wield with any efficiency)
In any case, you'd certainly have to catch them totally unaware, preferably when they're sleeping, or otherwise unconscious (or quickly made that way) to be effective.
.... nope, haven't considered that with any actual murderous intent whaaaatsoever. >>;
Somehow. I KNEW that was you! How about electrocution? Could a computer be rigged up so as to electrocute someone when they touched the keyboard or switched it on?
Don't worry. The occasional evil thought that wanders through my brain is very strictly policed.
