You, sir, are a certified, bona fide tweaker ;-) There are 3 computers in this office I absolutely DO NOT mess with: CADzilla (my workstation), the Linux server, and my assistant's workstation. Can't risk messing anything up - we've got too much work to do to risk downtime.
Anything else is fair game - we've got a heap of old 486's we use for single-purpose machines (device programming, test stands, hardware hacking, etc.). If we screw one up, we just toss it in the dumpster and get another one off the heap. I actually had to modify one last month by cutting away some interior case bracing with a jigsaw! Oh, if people could see how I operate on computers! Yes, the operation was successful (it worked afterwards). BTW, we didn't pay anything for those old 486's. People I know always ask me if I want their old PCs. I say "sure, I've got lots of warehouse space...". Too bad modern software is so bloated. It's a shame to see all that PC hardware going into the landfill. Those machines were once useful and most still work.
