The RepRap project is an awesome idea it’s a Self-Copying 3d printer capable of printing out plastic parts used to build another 3d printed just like the original.
This is an interesting hack on how to build a stealth computer.
It’s an entire opperating machine inside a 300w power supply. http://slipperyskip.com/page7.html
Like those windows people have on their computer cases?
You know, so you can put a cold cathode in and make it
look like it was stolen from the mothership?
Why not do the same to your CRT and match your system? http://www.twistedmods.com/article.php?artid=192&page=1

my favorite has to be long exposure hacks for high end ccd webcams. Like the mighty philips toucam for deep sky imaging with telescopes. I have an SC1 mod myself and love it as it gave me a new eye to look at the sky with :).

I love this Fuel Consumption gauge. Not only useful in these days of soaring gas prices, but the idea of grabbing any data off your OBD-II line in your vehicle and manipulating/displaying it fills my head with ideas. Time to start on my 17″ widescreen LCD dashboard…
check out www.pyrofersprojects.com for a load of cool hacks, but the retro Sega arcade stick into keyboard emulating pc contoller is cool. no driver issues here folks.
[…] Joven submitted this cool Power Supply PC mod in the Share a Hack Contest. This would be great to have sitting on my desk! “I gutted the brand new 300W power supply except for cooling fan, power switch and power plug. The 3 1/2″ form factor board fit perfectly. The gold anodized aluminum heat sinks are one piece, which actually covers the three main chips. Power supply cases really do make the perfect mini-computer case. The Advantech 5820 babyboard sports a “passively” cooled Geode 233MHz processor. It’s hardly passive with that monster fan running. I liked the idea of recycling the power plug and switch too.” […]

Hi!
Just wanted to know when monday is? I mean, is it zulu, gmt, est…? It’s hard to know;) Maybe a clock on your website?
Oh and if it isn’t too late; http://folk.ntnu.no/bardlund/lighteraccelerometer.jsp
Just a few pics so far, but I’ll get on it later…
Good question on the actual end time. I have always been lenient with the actual cutoff to allow for all timezones to post until midnight but you are right I should pick a timezone and stick with it… I will give that some thought.

Not sure if the game is still going on but I found a $10 X Y laser scanner.
The price is good and it looks easy to make.
[…] Congratulation to 56Effie and Kevin who were the winners last week. The prize this week is a bluetooth dongle. If your computer doesn’t have bluetooth built in this dongle will allow you to do some Wiimote hacking. This contest will run for this weekend only (May 26 - 27, 2007) . Ending time is based on central standard time. To enter, identify the item pictured above and give an example of what can be done with it. Please do not give the answer in the comments. […]
