By Keith Shaw Add a new comment

November 28, 2011, 3:34 PM — I love the videos produced by Youtubers "theslowmoguys", using high-definition slow-speed cameras to produce really cool slow-motion videos. As part of their "Sledgehammer Week", they decided to destroy a desktop PC, something that everyone has wanted to do at some point in their computing life. Sure, it's no PC Load Letter" printer that they're destroying, maybe later in the week they'll do that one.
