‘A device that can destroy a PC in seconds’
Sounds like they may have a marketing problem.

Not really. They can create a protection device which they would sell gladly. This can start a steady revenue stream, perhaps a birth of new industry as we have seen in computer security software.

The Data is still there.

Data ports are buffered, so the buffer is blown but the data remains.

Better to destroy the power bus. But still damage is limited to the weakest point. The data can still be recovered with enough resources.

Why not just zap the whole device with with a high voltage stun gun?? That is more damaging.
