Dead PSU

[Luther]

Over the past year ive 'collected' five dead PSUs, apart from gutting them for the fans, what else can you do with a dead psu?

 

[grantunderland]

blowing up caps is always fun, though i would recommend doing it outside with the size caps in PSU's

 

[GlobalFear]

The last dead ond I've had I smashed with a sledgehammer and cut off the wiring.

 

[Kckazdude]

What are you doing to be killing PSUs?

 

[Luther]

2 i got given for free (mate wasnt sure if they worked or not). 2 i killed over the years by shorting them doing stupid things, and 1 i dont know where it can from.

 

[JEEVES/whohasmyname?]

can always use the wires and molex connectors. Other than that i would have to agree with blowing up the caps

What is the best method for blowing up caps other than poking it with a fork and running away like a red neck with a stick that just found a corpse?

 

[JEEVES/whohasmyname?]

.22 works great if you got the aim. Or if you are feeling alittle more daring you can always drop a big rock on it (better watch your feet tho)

Caps? what are the caps?

 

[SodaPopinski]

Caps=Capacitors.

Desolder 'em, charge em up and toss 'em at people. Hehe, beats joy buzzers.

 

[Format _C:]

I Take the Fans from them
I take the IEC (Standard power cord socket) sockets and swiches
I Take all of the Molex connecors and AT or ATX connectors

 

[Devnull]

Take out the fans, string the wires up in my room and hang stuff on em

Take out the fans, string the wires up in my room and hang stuff on em

Heck, you can turn into a clothes-line! Hang the wash out to dry on all those wires man

I could make a necklace from the wires and capacitors and try flogging it as modern art.
