I like the idea, but kind of, unneeded:

while true do
os.pullEventRaw()
end

Run that, boom, locked computer.

Locked? you mean brick'd right?

If you want to make the computer inaccessable but fixable, can't you just activate a piston system to push the computer down a hole? You could have the system be reverseable if you threw a switch somewhere else.

That's actually a neat idea lol, not sure if sticky pistons push/pull computers, would have to check it out.

Edit: CAN'T PUSH PC'S WITH PISTONS :[

Darn. That might be something worth changing, if it can be done.

You could have a turtle under the computer that would collect it and run off somewhere. That seems...not quite as cool and surprising, though.

Would be difficult to change. Vanilla pistons can't push tile entities.

[ChunLing]

Ah. Perhaps you could use a turtle as your computer, and have it ascend up an inaccessable shaft.

Idea about computer detonating: move files to backup computer/file server /> Now, I need to code a passworded file server...

[BigSHinyToys]

placing an inserter behind a computer and explosives behind that means when the computer stop's outputting IE when rebooted it tigers the explosive / trap sneaky ha

Which does nothing because computers are made of stone...

Its not supposed to do anything its for effect if thats way u want. If u want to protect ur computer then there are better ways that are a lot more realistic like backing up onto external HD and then deleting files or just by locking ur computer. If u want to be able to blow up ur computer then there are plenty of explosive devises. The only reason i would use a mod like this is if it made computers more realistic about stuff like getting hit repeatedly by a diamond pick axe, Or way would be cool is if there was some way to do a overload with a virus that would overload the cpu so u could actually do something with viruses besides delete all root folder files and folders.
