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.

Iam exactly the same.
My (old black) xbox has a much larger HDD in it that the orig for the same reason as you and your Wii. There's a USB extender cable hanging out the back where I drilled through the case and wired a new female USB plug in so I could use a keyboard for XBMC.
My Wii was hacked within about 15 minutes of me owning it. Never use it now though. The fun was working out how to crack the bugger.
In fact, you could pretty much replace Wii and/or Xbox for just about any console over the years and this would still be true.
I only just got a broken Xbox360 for £20 thinking that I might be able to fix it...and....I could. Works perfectly now.
I'm going to probably sit down this weekend and work out how to crack that one too.

You're the sort this QOTW was aimed at;o)
I have built every computer I have owned but droping a CPU into place & slotting a video card into a PCI express slot is the absolute pinical of my technical ability. My soldering looks like big blobs of bird shit.
I thought I'd post this article to show the non soldering but not scared of a bit of tinkering crowd this great little mod
