Thermite PC

[Fektthis]

R.I.P screensavers. One of the coolest tech shows on tv ever.

[FanTaOss]

[bestSVMS]

burning the block diown is a good way to distroy the evidence when the fbi comes

[Spartaville]

kevin sounds like the crocadile hunter.

[Pymmeh]

Blimey, these fellahs like to talk don't they?

1:48 to 2:15 then 3:25 to 4:03

The rest is safely ignorable.

[lunarzanpakutou]

I remember this when it first aired a couple years back. I miss the old tech tv, I miss TSS and I miss Kevin Rose lol. ALthough he now owns Digg and is one of the hosts of diggnation.

[xvxuxvx]

Yeah, good old days were the best.

[reppingAiEa]

[udiie]

If he's such an idiot, why is he already one of the richest people on the internet right now?

He owns digg by the way.

[enishicz28]

he got lucky, due to his fanbase, digg's idea is not an original one, nor is the code, it only became successful because K Rose is well known on the screensavers

[1bangor]

Intelligence and wealth rarely have anything to do with one another.

Look to Ebay for another example of a crappy service/product making someone millions.

[ozycar]

I love fire.

IM A PYROMANIAC!!!!

ARE YOU TO???

[angrydadrocks]

fire good!

[Heretikal]

There's a reason they used four pounds, you can't consider these people normal. Obviously it wasn't JUST to destroy the hard drive. They wanted it to look wicked cool, and it did. 5 stars.

[FlamingPope]

4lbs? an intern? they better study harder

[Krimzon07]

2,500 celsius and 4lbs is a bit much for a fucking HD dumb ass interns

[MatriarkTerVel]

Jesus, those people are idiots. 4 lb of thermite to destroy a hard disk? Well, given that they don't even know the melting point of iron, it's no surprise...

[jaythedogg]

2500 celsius

4000F

[theMEGAPOPE]

thermite doesnt burn at 4000 degrees celcius.

[xEnder5]

Didn't know it would make that big of a reaction?

Tried. To. Put. It. Out?

What an extraordinary pair of idiots.

[haze656]

you sonof a bitch why the hell did you do that

[GriwaLXVII]

thermite burns at 2500 degrees celcius NOT 4000!!

[redeyesthe20th]

[tommy3050]

that will be good when the FBI finds out about my PC

[BombsMySpecial]

[17hmr243]

2 get ur cheap alum wich u need 4 thermite

[esdv69]

[17hmr243]

[Sonofamitch69]

what's it do?

[17hmr243]

2 get ur cheap alum wich u need 4 thermite

[jgrseg]

Four pounds!?! A gram or two would take care of your hard drive.

[frescawookie]

I have personally tested this and in order to make sure the platters are gone 2 to 1 tablespoons does the job real well. It burns through the metal case and the heat warps and burns the platters to a point nothing can be retrieved. If you want a hole all the way through you will need more like 6 to 7 tablespoons

[whitesands]

i miss the old techtv not this g4 crap

[Buffamal0]

AGREED

[fanatic002000]

i agree with you =/

[saitanus]

1 pound is more than enough

[fiftycaliberfistfuck]

use miuretic acid (?)

[tony4moroney]

dear god. well.. you know what im going to do know.. being an unresponsible explosive-mad teen.

[splcst659]

wow i would never do that to my pc!

[SmokescreenNinjaz]

nice post. destruction good.

[Uberownager]

It's not 4000 celsius :P - it's 2500 celsius/4500 fahrenheit as maximum

[KrisMorrow]

4lb is over kill. Few grams of therm would be enough considering how the only way it stops is when it cools itself down.

[miaskin]

Wow, 9/11 style.

[boberick2]

cool, i bet the ants didnt think of this before me!

[phoenixineohp]

Don't do it in the house. Do it in your backyard. O_o

[anxboxgamer]
