This is a question DIY Techno-hacks

Old 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.

Toasty
As an conscientious *cough* 13 year old, I noticed my computer (one of these: www.computinghistory.org.uk/userdata/PRODTHM-3418.jpg ) emitted very hot air out of the vents on the top on the monitor bit and thought "hmm, I should put this to good use."

So for quite some time, I warmed my damp towels by folding them up and placing them over the air vent of the machine.

If I get some some time, I'll get the mister's story of heater woe that ends with "in my country, this is normal". Hehe
