Ask Slashdot: What Is Your Most Awesome Hardware Hack?

An anonymous reader writes: Another Slashdotter once asked what kind of things someone can power with an external USB battery. I have a followup along those lines: what kind of modifications have you made to your gadgets to do things that they were never meant to do? Consider old routers, cell phones, monitors, etc. that have absolutely no use or value anymore in their intended form. What can you do with them? Have you ever done something stupid and damaged your electronics?

I'm way out of line here but I assumed Slashdot people were more of the non-religious types?

Anyone want to clearify? Genuinly interrested.

Slashdot is open to all, regardless of their mental disability or inability to reason logically.
