"You remove motherboards from old, used up, and goodfur' nutn' computers and use them as wallpaper."

I'm that geek, This is a pic of the wall in my shop.

From left to right...an IBM PC-XT 8088, 386-SX16, 486 DX2-66, 586-100, Pentium II 350 and Pentium III 500.

I'm missing a 286, but the "Wall of Shame" will continues to grow.
AMD here I come.

But what if you just keep them in the attic, " in case you......"

Sad, or what ?

:idea: .........(chair)

Did that one for awhile but ran out of room.

I've been thinking of making them into a lamanted coffee table...Wife won't go for it.

She said take it to the range and put a few holes them...hummm

How about pouring some resin around them to use as coasters and "hot Pads" to set hot (cooking) pans on? You just gotta find a use that she can use too!

[kowell]

Way cool ?

a few geeks so to speak

keep it up and open a motherboard museum

My kids want to make a high-tech gingerbread house.

Technology can be so fun.

I made a folding fan out of a pcb, but I wouldn't recommend it as a new craft project.
Got through quite a lot of piercing saw blades in the process.

Where have all the I/O cards gone? Nothing like a few VESA local bus cards, 300 baud modems, and full size controller cards to fill in those blank spots.

I'd hang my old boards on the wall, too, but they're still in working PCs (TI-99/4A, Timex/Sinclair, 8088, 8086, 286, 386 486, Pentium/II/III/4, Celeron, with an AMD or Cyrix CPU thrown into the mix). Might be a little too heavy and make the house lean. Instead I'm using them to keep the house from blowing away in a hurricane.

I seriously need to get rid of some stuff but can't seem to part with it.

Have fun,

HayTay

I took old CDs tosed them in to the microwave cooked 'em for about 10 to 15 seconds and now there my coffee table coasters. People love them.

[tsutt]

what did that do to them? Todd

[automizer]

this is 4 of my my CDs, as you can see the Microwave made a cool pattern in it

[tsutt]

That's kool.

[Weldtutor]

Some folks make "COASTERS" from CDs without a microwave. ;>)

[automizer]

well when you have a microwave in your backyard incased in sandbags what else are you going to put in it?

[Smackre]

I got a phone called from one of those people selling ****.....it was on a old beat up cordless phone that had a falling off cover. I stuck the phone in the mic and cook him for 30 seconds....phone never worked again.
