[FreeGeek] FWD: Hillbilly How-to: Practical uses for your old computer pieces

[agent humble]

Computers are good for many things -- I use mine mostly for listening to 
compact discs, playing that awesome pinball game, and checking the finishing 
times at NASCAR.com -- but did you know they can be just as useful when 
they're broken? In all, I think I've burned through eight computers over the 
last three years -- one got crushed when my prized moose head fell off the 
wall, and I spilled various liquids on the other seven. Typically when I bust 
up one of my PCs, I just toss it on the burn pile with everything else, but 
then I got to thinking, "I bet I could tear this sucker apart and use the 
various pieces in all sorts of different ways."

For instance, discarded keyboards make great dog toys, and you can use those 
little gray mouse balls to build a sweet miniature billiard set. Now, I bet 
you're thinking to yourself, "surely you can't do much else with a broken 
computer!" Au contraire, mon amie. Check out these other ingenious uses for 
discarded computer pieces... (c/w pics):
