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.

Sorry to nitpick...but a power supply cannot be 'too powerful' for a board - the connected load will only draw what it needs.
I doubt it was not powerful enough, either - most PSU's have a cutout to protect against that.
What probably happened is that you plugged the power supply into the board backwards. The old AT supplies would let you do this, as the power connector was in two parts and you could plug them in the wrong way round. From memory it's supposed to be black to black.
