Sorry, I just don't see the appeal of any of those ideas -- though clearly I am not your target interest group.

The smashing of computers as a recycling effort seems ridiculous to me in that computers are filled with tons of toxic materials.

I don't see how smashing them with hammers is good for anything...

Smashed computers can still be recycled, I had a partnership with a local e-waste recycling company. The idea was to give people incentive to recycle with a fun event. With regards to the toxic materials, it was my understanding that only monitors offered some risk. I could be wrong though.
