Either that or they run a computer repair joint and had a stack of dead hard drives.  

[OberFeldwebel]

Or they run a computer forensics lab and are retiring their old drives.

Even though they do a 00xf6 wipe, they demand they decommission their old drives like that.
Well, not exactly like that, the other way is to drive a nail through the platter.

Hell, if you wanted to get exotic you could rent or buy a Sherman and roll them over. Or melt them down to a pile of slag.

"Out of the slaughter, only one survived..."

I love how the round stayed nicely lodged in the 2nd to last hardrive. I'd put it on a mantel as a trophy

or better yet in the store

"Excuse me, what's that?"

"Oh, that's a virus infected hard drive we killed with a .50 cal armor piercing incendiary round."

"You're allowed to own something like that?" eek

I dont think those hard drives had viruses on them, they may have.
But what I've heard is that they were contaminated with Goatse.
