Putting your computer through 3 walls is probably going to destroy the
computer and at least one wall. It really depends upon the
construction of the wall. If concrete or heavy wood paneling, only
the computer will be destroyed. If the computer is one of those
monster heavy weight tower cases, only the wall will be destroyed.

However, that's only for one wall. I don't think a world distance
record for putting a computer through multiple walls has been
established. Apparently, you're off to a good start and possibly on
the way to an Olympic medal in the computer put event. It's a bit
late but I'm sure Bejing has plenty of machines you can use for
practice.

I think 3 walls is a bit much for a newbie computer put event. It
will take years of concientious practice and exercise to build
yourself up to where you can put your computer through 3 walls.

>Is it likely it will work with this arrangement?

No. It's very likely that the computer will not work after your
arrangments. I also wasn't aware that the computer is expected to
work after being put through 3 walls. If solidly built, I think it
has a chance of surviving, but it's unlikely.
