When I was at the university and without a fully developed frontal lobe I thought it was a great idea to test this in the lab.

Ended up creating a "battleship"-like game. Two people, each trying to crash the other's machine. Since the IPs were randomly assigned by DHCP and for some inexplicable reason changed frequently (every day or so), we would be trying to guess what the other machine's IP was.

Given how they were physically arranged, we were able to see the machines blue screening (but not always fully crashing).

Of course, there was a lot of collateral damage as some machines were in used by people that weren't part of the 'game'. Thankfully, most of the time they didn't fully crash. Most of the time.
