Modding Whats the wierdest tool you've used to mod a PC?

a power supply wielded by the atx plug to smash off a side panel which was glued on. It didnt work but it was damn fun and I would reccomend it to anyone in a fit of rage.

 

i had a 120mm fan mounted in my top 3 drive bays with 2 wire bread ties and a little bit of adhesive putty (like blutac but not blue) - now it's got 2 black zip ties (not zipped though)

 

A paper-clip, two platter spacers from a broken hard drive, a rubber band, and a chicken.



Incidently, those are the same four things required to build a time machine...




I won't go into that though.



You've heard too much.

 

Well from looking at your 'tools', I could at least make a chicken launcher

This is from the man that once made a homemade napalm-thrower out of a certain large capacity water pistol.

Note: Wearing a large tank of flammable liquid on your back, and squirting it out of plastic gun is NOT a good idea!!!

 

a space heater and a steam cleaner

 

a hear dryer -to get the white paint off my pc's side panel, but it didn't work. and else a steel sponge een slijpschijf, don't know what that is in english a thing with a very fast rotating disk, and when you put it on iron it makes like fireflies...

steel sponge een slijpschijf = grinding wheel?

the best i have used to "mod" a PC component was a Car (92 Caddy Devile (its mine (im a pimp)))
I went "office space" on a printer i found in the dumpster (dont ask) and after throwing it from the top of the dumpster, jumping down, repeatedly drop kicking it, and whatnot, i ran over it... a few times. No evidence remained. so i "modded" the printr into a pile of scrap

 

I once used a butter knife and half a brick to take a Honda C90 engine apart.....had no tools at the time

It never worked again......

 

Newbe alert!

Have used forklift tynes and coil spring compressors as clamps. Also used a oil filter spanner to hold a fan over the CPU like the Zalman fan extender.

 

I don't use anything odd aside from my invented rigs and jigs to do things that no other tool can do or because I don't have the proper tool around. For the most part though, I DO have the tools to do just about anything, so I rarely need to use a brick etc.

 

i used a pressure cleaner, great for cleaning out old cases that have dead creatures and dust mounds in it. Dont have to touch a thing.

 

A tyre leaver is probalyu the strangest tool i'vr used, to keep my mobo in place whilst i fitted the GFX/Sound cards (some of the lay off screws are missing so the mobo was bending an not letting the card slot in place)

 

Toe nail clippers to cut some unwanted plastic
