But if you aren't completely done using it, you will likely turn it on again which is
a more dangerous activity. VIC power supplies have a reputation of dying and taking the
computer out with them. Many people have replaced the power supply on their VIC. The
Denial wiki and forum:

is a good source of power supply options.
You can also see what I did:

If you really ARE done using it, you can mail it to me :-)

Turn it off.
Then disconnect the power
cord from the wall.
Clean the machine
Place it in a sealed container with vaccum or inert gas
Optional: (if you are "done using it")
Post it on eBay as "R at RE"
or
place in a vault
or
drop it off at the recycling center
