Hmm, since kid I always thought interesting the idea of using apm to
repeatedly turn on and off monitors and hard drives until they burn. Off
course nowadays it would be kinda hard to suceed.
I dont have much knoledge of the apm workings,any one knows if that would be
possible?

Interesting topic though, is it possible to
*destroy* computers remotely at all?
Destroy the hardware, that is.

In the case of a rack *full* of Dell servers,
I imagine that turning all the fans on full
power would generate enough thrust to push
the whole thing across the machine room floor...
