You just need a wipe harddrive worm on your USB. That way you just have to plug it in. And if your especially good at coding VBScript you can make it spread through the external HD to all of the computers. It would be tough but awesome.

All terminals have deep freeze. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Freeze_(software) but i'll try if you can find it.

you'd have to get to the server to do any damage. But mate, I wouldn't consider doing this, say you succeeded and FUBAR'd all the harddrives in your school and got caught doing so, you would probably be expelled.
Even if you failed, the administrators will catch you and you would still at minimum be suspended.
I hate to have to point this out.

yeah, even though they are doing everything in their power to screw a decent computer and everything up, if you get caught...your screwed

I know this is getting a bit off-topic but how do the fans work on the computer are they controlled by the computer itself or are they seperate from computer control.

Most fans are controlled by your BIOS. By standard you have a system fan, a fan on your heatsink and your PSU fan.

Yeah, once your computer reaches a certain temp. it comes on and cools her down

So the BIOS work like an old ROM drive so you can't change the infomation on the computer. See I was thinking of of creating a virus to overheat your computer, thus killing, thus destroying the machine (and hopefully the memory). But you can't do that if it runs by the BIOS. Shame it would have been undetectable until the time to strike at my school then there would be no data and the school's computers would all be at risk. Just think about your computer overheating.

That definetely would be devastating if your school runs of a big server that gets insanly hot and has to be cooled all the time. That would doom it pretty quick

The discussion reminds me of overclocked (just for the heating problems). It's one of the coolest things you can do to the hardware of a computer. To me anyway...
If you want to cause chaos under the radar it's even easier than that. If you school discourages but still allows e-mail access your golden. Now I've never tried this myself but you might be able to do it like this. Create or find a simple HD wipe virus (probably 5 lines of VBS) and create a batch file. Snoop around to find as many people's e-mail to your school as you can. Create a new e-mail address (try to find a provider that allows sending batch files as some do not). Send your batch file as something harmless like Dane Cook Vicious Circle! The file will open wipe the HD and that computer is, as Tretarn said, FUBAR'd. You could many other things to have the user screw themselves over but it shouldn't be too hard to think of others.

What point don't you understand by I can not!!!!!! Deep Freeze prevents this by: "Deep Freeze is a kernel-level driver that protects hard drive integrity by redirecting information being written to the hard drive or partition, leaving the original data intact. This redirected information is no longer referenced once the computer is restarted, thus restoring the system to its original state at the disk sector level. This allows users to make 'virtual' changes to the system, giving them the appearance that they can modify core files or even delete them, and even make the system unusable to themselves, but upon reboot the originally configured 'frozen' state of the operating system is restored.
To make changes, a system administrator must 'thaw' the protected partition by disabling Deep Freeze, make any needed changes, and then 'freeze' it again by re-enabling Deep Freeze. These changes become part of the protected partition and will be maintained after restarts. 'Freezing' and 'thawing' can be done at the workstation level or remotely via the Deep Freeze Enterprise Console.
Deep Freeze can also protect a computer from harmful malware as it automatically deletes downloaded files when the computer is restarted."
However it's limitations are:
Deep Freeze only protects workstations in a "fresh-booted" state. That is, Deep Freeze prevents permanent tampering with protected hard drives/partitions across reboots, but user activity between restarts is not limited by the program. For example, Deep Freeze does not prevent application installation; a user could install a modified version of a Web browser (but seemingly harmless to the unknowing user) designed to secretly send users' passwords to a server connected to the Internet. As a workaround, Deep Freeze can be configured to restart after user logout, shutdown after a chosen period of inactivity, or restart/shutdown at a scheduled time in an attempt to ensure that no such installations are retained (as rebooting the system returns the system to is original, unmodified state).
Deep Freeze cannot protect the operating system and hard drive upon which it is installed if the computer is booted from another medium (such as an external hard drive, a USB device, optical media, or network server), or where the total volume of drives in the system is over 2 TBs[2]. In such cases, a user would have real access to the contents of the (supposedly) frozen system. On a Windows-based computer, this scenario may be prevented by configuring the CMOS on the workstation to boot only to the hard drive to be protected and by then password protecting the CMOS. This is a normal precaution for most public access computers.

So for sure it redirects batch files?
