A Colorado man who has been “fighting with his computer for the last several months” unloaded a volley of shots into his Dell tormentor, resulting in the death of the computer and his arrest for discharging a firearm, cops report.
When asked about the shooting, Hinch told TSG, “I just had it,” adding that he tired of the balky computer’s “blue screen of death.” Hinch said that he whacked the computer with a 9mm Hi-Point pistol recently purchased from a Craigslist seller. The gun was seized by police, who left the computer behind.
The late Dell XPS 410 model, seen in the above police evidence photo, is survived by a monitor and a keyboard.

Not as yet....
He should have used a rifle with a silencer. That may have kept Mr. Nosey Neighbor from shrieking in fright behind his lace curtains.
A few years ago we got a new operating system that gave everyone fits, one time I banged on my keyboard, my supervisor walked by and said I never want to see you do that again or you will pay for it. Two weeks later the CFO took a baseball bat to his monitor.
Definitely way before me. Based on just looking at pictures, no doubt a source of grief and misery.
oh, lol
As a longtime Dell owner I feel his pain. Ive wanted to shoot my PC too..but hey its Colorado he was probably high at the time..the “Dude your getting a Dell” guy could not be reached for comment
I call that an “Elvis moment”.
I bought a Nerf Gun to help me get through the day without costing me a fortune every time I see a lib on the news.
Visitation will be at CompUSA . . . oh, wait, it’s dead too.
Probably will be classified as a hate crime
Dude, I thought pot make you mello out.
bad taste in computers and guns...
"That damn chip infested, bios tilted, blue screened death monster NEEDED KILLING YOUR HONOR. This was 9mm justice and I must add most satisfying and the mental currative power of this action has returned me to sanity and made me a useful and productive member of society your honor."
"You honor, may I ask if you have any computer problems?"
Verdict from the bench, "Justifiable computercide, meet me in chambers court dismissed." Followed by muffled gun shots from his chambers and hysterical laughing. His Honor and the defendent were seen that night dinning and laughing at an upscale restareant and the topic of of discussion was the ballistics of Cor-Bon Ammunition.
Take it to the range or the woods there Bill Gates. That’s where I kill stubborn appliances.
Ironically, that guy was dumped by Dell after he was arrested for drug possession.
I looked up the specs on this model. Only two gigs of RAM. He needed more RAM. More than likely that was causing his ‘blue-screens-of-death’.
In addition, core-2-duo. Old and he bought it on Craigslist. Dumb-ox!
HAHAHA what a techie!
should we call this one in?
