Episode III: "Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Motherboards"

"The application of 240V AC mains power to strategic positions

on the boards resulted in showers of sparks and produced nasty electrical

noises"

Episode III came to be after we discovered a use for unwanted and outdated

PC hardware. The application of 240V AC mains power to strategic positions

on the boards resulted in showers of sparks and produced nasty electrical

noises (take our word for it, don't try this at home). Episode III features

all-new footage since Episodes I and II including hard-drive-meets-sledehammer

scenes. Out of interest the hardware all belonged to the era of the 386 and

earlier, with some 486 parts thrown in after I had assembled what I could

into complete systems. The hard drives were all dead, or soon-to-die low

capacity Quantum ProDrives = ).
