I've had some enjoyable times shooting useless appliances, but rigging things up to make a bigger explosion is pushing it.
When in any doubt at all, take measures to keep yourself and everyone and everything else safe. First, give yourself plenty of range from the target. Make sure nothing near the target would be damaged or set on fire. Next, wear a helmet and eye protection, and shoot from behind some sort of baricade, like a table turned on its side, or a berm. Most of all, make sure your choice of ammo and target are a safe combination to prevent ricochets. Make sure you have a backstop that would absorb a bullet at many angles departing from the target, as it will change trajectory.
8mm will penetrate and hold trajectory pretty well, but I'd still try to account for a 45 or even 60 degree course variation after hitting the target.
For electronics with plastic and thin metal parts, buckshot and rifled slugs may be good choices for something that will penetrate but not keep going.
