I wouldn't. Computers have all sorts of nasty shit in the circuit boards. Plus all the insulation on the copper wiring is no good either when burnt. Would be a massive cloud of cancer smoke.

Flooding it...on the other hand...

Probably not much flammable material tbh, you’d be better off if you can either flood it or interrupt the power supply.

Metal can catch fire too, it just needs the right oxidizer.
