Modding Whats your best Ghetto Mod??

ok another ghetto mod couldnt be arsed to get out my soldering iron to join in the new fan when i was exchanging my PSU fan so i just used masking tape to twist the wires together and shield, then i put the case back on and all is fine!!!

 

My ghetto mods have been, using string to hold up my CPU fan:



Using rubberbands to attach a GPU heatsink:



but most ghetto of all has to be my case fan powered hovercraft!

 

lol hovercraft

 

like the hovercraft. ever thought of going into production with that?

 

LMAO!

Speaking of Blu-tack, I had a sizeable blob on my hsf for a couple of months to dampen vibrations Worked like a charm too

 

I have a video of it I made before destroying it. Unfortunatley my webspace has stopped letting me transfer anything for more than about 4 seconds even though there is plenty of room for it. If anyone wants to host it I could email it to them.

 

post it on Upload-it

 

Their max file size is 600k

 

email it to me chap, I'll host it.

hotmail only give you 2mb of space (tight gits) so unless you payed for extra space it won't fit.

 

Floppy ghetto mod

Ph33r the ultimate mod. Although that hover craft / cpufan / heatsink... Thats a tough one to beat, but I'm proud of my mod.


Thats a stealthed floppy drive. How? Velcro, my friend.

 

That's not ghetto that's creativity. I just used double sided sticky foam to do my strealth.

oh and welcome to the best forums in the world

 

lol my CD stealths were Blu-tac until i found my glue gun--- 2 months

 

I totally did that like 2wks ago, my fan was loud as all hell, so i pulled it, put in a diff one, didn't think i had enough solder, so i wrapped, taped, and hoped, actually, i was pretty sure it would work, but you know, didn't want to toast my PSU. But last week, i did take it apart again, and soldered it up all fancy. But i also had to repair one of the connectors cuz the wires came out, (cheap and older).

I may have to try to make a little fan powered hovercraft, just cuz....

 

The switch wouldn't fit from the AT PSU when I built my server (used an old case which i cleaned up a bit) so I soldered them together and covered them with electrical tape...does that count?

 

change the electrical tape to duct tape and you have your self some fine ghetto modding

Hmm... my best would have to be making a MoBo tray+case sides from Duct tape in a s***ey P133 machine a while back. Easiest MoBo mount i've ever done .

Then there was the Affroman-style RAM-sinks on my last GFX card, made from thermal-adhesive'd 1p's

The Heatsink held by bluetack on a PII - 400 was the most fun (the trick is to make a tiny line all the way round the core...

 

oooooooo RAM-sinks made from thermal-adhesive'd 1p's, sounds like a great idea! Did it work well?????
