DIY Techno-hacksOld hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.
Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?
Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

I took apart a dead Dual Shock (PlayStation controller)and clipped and sanded off the cup-shaped base of one of the thumbsticks, so I just had a mushroom-like thing consisting of the nub on its stem. Then I took the thumbstick off my PSP - it just pulls right off, you don't even need to take apart the machine - and put the PS2 controller's stick in its place; surprisingly, the joint is the same size on both machines. Much more comfy than the stupid little flat nipple the PSP comes with.

Sadly, I don't know where I've put the thumbstick (I always took it off so I could put the PSP back in its case);if I find it again I'll post pics. I don't currently have a dead controller I can gut for another one.
