The iPod is a great device. The problem is, everyone has one. And they all look the same. Thanks to the iVue panel and some paint, I can be different in a completely meaningless way!

Lumenlab LCD Projector
Take a 30000 lumen lamp intended for lighting parking lots, stick it behind a 15" LCD, add some optics, and you get a quality 8' screen for under $600. Ghetto moddin at its best!

Tree of Life
So this was the very first mod I ever did, and it's awesome! Actually it sucked, I painted with matte paint and tried to get a gloss finish, snipped a lot of wires that I shouldn't have and tried to use a power sander on the case. But hey, learn from your mistakes, and in the end it did turn out rather nice. Sort of. |
4x20 Character LCD (HD44780)
Picked this up in China for $5. A little bit of soldering, time and some, uh, colourful words later, I got a nice auxilary LCD. My first journey into the world of DIY electronics. Wet Floor PC - Prototype
So, I "acquired" a wet floor sign from school courtesy of some friends. It sat on my floor for a while, until i put it over a motherboard box since I was short of space. Then it hit me (the same way a car hits a deer) that the board fits perfectly under the sign AND it's got an integrated handle! This is just a first attempt, once I get some better tools to work with acrylic I'm going to make a much more refined version. Record Player PC Rebuild... Thing.
Garage sale! $15 and it didn't even work, what a ripoff. 6 months later, it's a fully working computer with dual TV tuners, 500GB of storage, a monitor in the top... Was it worth it? Probably not. Was it frustrating? Very. Did I have fun? Hells yes.
