Take it, fly it to Africa, and let a thousand giraffes stomp it to pieces?

Lol!
But seriously does anybody know how to do this (just for a bit of fun)
And to clarify the term crash, I mean anything from making it hang to making it restart, I know there is a way i've already seen somebody do it before

There is no standard way to "crash" someones system...
The person who's connecting to your network could be using a wide variety of operating systems...
Before you declare war on him/her, try securing your wireless network...

Secure your network already!
Points:
1) Stop using WEP, It's completely useless these days..
2) Setup an OpenBSD wireless access point using
authpf..
3) Redirect all traffic from this potentially malicious user to a generic error page. (
Generic is optional 
)
This is the last post I'll make to your thread... perhaps you should try a forum more related to your situation next time.

... Flood the IP, try the old WinNuKE attack (maybe you will be lucky :lol), send some malicious old-fashioned network packets, shoot the PC, throw it out the window, apply 230 volts to it (if you live in USA), type COMMAND.COM DELTREE C:\WINDOWS, or DEL C:\*.*, or FORMAT C:, or SHUTDOWN -S -T 03, disable firewall, antivirus, install Win98SE on it, ...

That would be useless here where the power standard is 240 volts.

Make a short circuit then
Let me guess: You live in GB, Ireland, Germany or Australia. Right?

Now narrow that down using the information in his location text, and the distance from his chosen speed test server.
