Crafts made of computer hardware

Modern technology does not stand still and many details from the computer remain on the “sidelines” of progress. For example, my first Celeron 466 (as I was proud of it) can already successfully nail up nails, or use it as a stand. But the real ones the inhabitants of our site find its components more interesting and original application.



Make mill from an old keyboard and operational maps (yes, these also existed) can be applied with a little effort and imagination. Take the four old keyboards and separate the buttons from them. The roof and stand of the building can be made of ordinary white cardboard. Four "RAM", well, if they are the same size, will serve as the blades of the mill. Now the most difficult stage of work is ahead. Take a steel spoke and a plastic gear. Of these, perform the axis of the mill. Fasten the blades as shown. Now the mill from the old computer "iron" is ready. It turned out original and unusual, right?




To make paper holder from old motherboard You need to separate from it all the extra parts (once they were completely out of place). Take the standard holder for sheets and separate the mechanism from it. Then, using rivets or small bolts, fix it on the board. Ah, yes, I almost forgot - if there are any notches on the "motherboard", then they can be processed with a file. Note that you are unlikely to find a board for A4 sheets, but the Letter format is what you need.




Make original stand possible from the elements of old floppy disks and transparent gaskets that fit between CD disks. You will need 9 floppy disks, 9 small bolts and 18 gadgets for them. The central part is separated from the floppy disks, and 9 holes are drilled symmetrically in the transparent CD template. Bolts are fixed in them, on which, after the nut, parts of floppy disks are put on. Then put on a second transparent blank, with pre-prepared holes. It is also secured with nuts. Designer stand from computer trash is ready.



Despite the apparent complexity of the design to do watches from an old Winchester not so difficult. It is enough just to drill a hole for the axis on which the arrows will be located, clean the “screw” from the parts interfering with the arrows and firmly install them on the surface using, for example, an old network board.

From the old computer hardware you can do it yourself make a great many crafts. Most likely, you have already met a large selection of them on the pages of this site, and if not, then what are you waiting for?
