Get very angry and have computers, etc taken away? (4,2)

I believe the answer is:

lose it

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'get' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'very angry and have computers etc taken away?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'computers' could be 'it' (information technology) and 'it' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'lose' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lose it that I've seen before include "Suddenly go berserk" , "Snap" .)
