I screwed up and bought an eMac, not realizing how horribly low the volume is, and horribly dark the screen can be.

Now assuming I bought a different Mac, could I just make a video of the eMac booting up, then me taking a crow bar to it or something so I can prove the machine is dead, then just transfer the key to my new Mac?

I seriously do not want this eMac in my presence, and I would feel UTTERLY WRONG selling it on eBay as a pre-registered MorphOS machine.
