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.

Rudder for Flight Sim 4.0More like rubbish ...
Back in the dark times when I was nerdiest kid I knew - a 386SX bought from Morgan graced my room and I'd fitted a dual games port. I couldn't then afford to by a real rudder controller - so I made one out of bits of wood a joystick and some of that springy metal outer casing from a bike brake cable.
To paraphrase "sandettie light vessel automatic" - Notwithstanding the intermitant crashes, I used it for maybe an hour or so because that's how long it took for my glory to wear off.
