go for subtle - go open up your vacuum cleaner, and get a spoon/hand/cat/tool.
pull out dust from vac, sprinkle gently into air inlet vents. keep sprinkling more dust in. ideally, run the PC on the most troublesome CPU-intensive programme you have.
clog the fan up, fry the mobo. no software on it, no incriminating marks, it just sucked in too much dust and overheated.
a long metal rod put in while the laptop's off (dont inset while running, as it'll hit the spinning fan, and scratch the fam blades - physical evidence) to jam into a fan will also do the trick nicely.
you could also hope the screen is poorly affixed, and go for the "open and close the laptop 10,000 times" approach and fatigue the wires to the display till one breaks?

1. cool cdrom/dvd until it gets very brittle (dry-ice, liquid nitrogen, supercold freezer)
2. insert into cd-player, spin up
3. voilß

The rod approach was what I was thinking of using, but combined with dust in the fans I think that's golden :) I had thought about the open/close lid as well, but I'd get tired of doing it after a few minutes.
What the hell does a frozen CD do? I got 3 and it's -15 Celcius outside :) Does it break?

split a lamp-cord "emergency difibrulator style" and give a zap into the battery connect prongs or the power cord connect socket. pretty sparks.

Drop it. Then return it, and tell them that the baggage screener at the airport did it.
Hrrm...The monitor screen was disconnected from the mounting, cd drive was torn to bits (disc got stuck. I had to...remove it...as I'm sure someone here knows the horrors of blockbuster late fees). There was a nice dent on the base of the case (duct tape fixed it for a while), and the keyboard wouldn't lock in.
...worked for me. True story. Such is the life of owning a mac.
(and yes I felt bad afterward. However, I had the extended warranty. Checked online and I had 760 some odd days left. I figured it should go to use...)
**edit, I can't say *****? as in broken? structural failure?**

If it has g-force or nvidea
Download your drivers here:
Omega Drivers (ATI and GeForce)
Boost the overclocking to 500% or something and I bet it will fry before you login on EVE.
Edit: wait... but u gonna need to be able to remove the drivers afterwards... hmm... that might be a problem.

Block all air exausts and see if it dies from overheating?
thats the easiest version that doesnt leave any trace either :)

I cant believe no-one has suggested going on a short plane trip and accidently putting the laptop through the x-ray luggage scanner
