chiefie:More importantly...
Why is anyone dumping an Xbox? Which generation of Xbox!?!
I'm guilty of that. Friend had a 1st gen Xbox360 die due to red ring of death. He just bought a new one. And donated the old one to me to destroy. I wired up 380VDC to its 12V power rail.
Unfortunately it didn't make anything that you could call an explosion. It didn't even catch on fire.
On a more serious note, I have way too much E waste that I need to get rid of. Mostly various old circuit boards. Some of which are handy as a source of electronic components. But there is not much that is worth ratting from old motherboards and similar.
Friends and family often use me as their method of getting rid of old appliances and similar.
