We wanted to put the GPU in the Server, but didn't have the cable. And Just buying one is boring plus it wouldn't fit with a cable we tried with a ATX PSU.
PS: And it still works even after there was some Solder on the GPU die

I wouldn't recommend you do this, because there is exposed 120vac.

Estaba mirando mi PC, y se me dió por desarmarla, pero acabe quitando el disipador junto al procesador, y ahora lo logré separar pero hay unos pines doblados, y tengo miedo de romperlos, se que hay soluciones, pero yo no tengo pulso ni herramientas para acomodarlo , pensaba llevarlo a un servicio técnico, pero no sé dónde no me salga tan caro, no tengo tanto dinero y menos para un procesador nuevo

The fans for my 12u rack sounded like an airport so i used an esp32 to control fan speed via PWM based on ambient temp readings. It’s been hanging all janky like this for months working flawlessly.

Unemployed recent graduate, and I accidentally broke my laptop screen after it got me through moving countries, a bachelor’s degree, and two masters...
I need a webcam for job interviews, but I’m too broke for a new laptop or even a webcam, and it’s not worth fixing the laptop anymore.
It’s a miracle it still works at this point. I’ve replaced the battery and power connector twice, replaced the HDD after it failed, upgraded the SSD, fixed the CPU fan after it started making too much noise, added RAM...
Anyway, I removed the laptop’s camera, passed it through the Ethernet port, and i tape it to my monitor whenever I need it.
It will be a sad day when the laptop finally gives up on me but It works for now.

I didn't have an SD card reader and couldn't be bothered to go buy one. In the dead of night I realised my dad's old pc had one available, but the pc was dead. Took it apart, it was usb but wired to an internal header, grabbed an old charging cable, spliced it into the USB-A end and voila!

Mounted a Starlink Mini in the back window of my Chrysler 300C and zip tied it to a child safety anchor. Kept bouncing around, so I shoved an empty water bottle under it. Best and cheapest dish support I've used in a car.

An old mouse scroll wheel hooked up to a wireless mouse picks up the rotation off the chuck for aiming and you blow into a deodorant lid with some plastic tubing to launch the bubbles.

my 100 watt charger started smelling burning, so i putted thermal pad and heatsinks on the sides. I am currently planning to also get copper and put a usb fan.
EDIT:
It didnt worked anyways, my wire for the charger melted. Thanks for all your guys advice tho.

Only had a phone holder for my 8Bitdo controller, so i made it dual-purpose.
Made a hole that is slightly smaller than the tripod screw, and the screw threaded itself in and now it is super stable, and i can still use it with the controller.

Dug out an old 4790k machine. After VM failures trying to install Mint on a broken USB sata deck I just copied to an NVME…swapped it, cloning the drive to an 850 evo ATM
On a tv tray, powered by an Ecoflow Delta 2
