Creative uses for old hardware

i've just ditched a 8GB hard drive in the bin because it had given up the ghost, might fish it out and see what i can do with it.

also i have a lot of old graphics cards that are nackered, might have a little solder inventiveness

I would make mine a 'beer server' but I wouldn't be bothered to fill it up again after emptying it out every day lol

Collect thousands of keyboard keys and stick them to your car, thus making a car entirly covered in keys. You could even make patterns out of different colour keys!!

I saw a picture of someone who had done this, must have taken them ages. Looked quite funny though.
