Couple of things..
- You'd have to go through about 100 to 500 machines to properly test a
system like that.. and since I assume you're trying to do the whole
thing "on the low", we're not talking about a commercial product here...
So hope you've got the bucks..
- A system like that would have to be tested *thoroughly since more
important than working when it should might just be "not working when it
shouldn't"...
- You're essentially talking about a self destruction setup.. so
depending on your choice, prepare for 'trap' lawsuits...
- The only people that would need this type of setup:
1. Hackers.. Watch "the core"... there's a great example of preparation
for you..
2. High-end security personnel.. Odds are they've got all sorts of $$ to
get proper countermeasures set up..
3. Paranoid people... Well, that about says it all right there..
4. People downloading kiddie porn.. Just in case the cops seize their
machine.
Me? I see you falling outside the top two possibilities...
