Some ground rules for ideas: no standard upright cabinets, no jukeboxes.
Anyways, heres the spare parts I have to play with:
a pda thats 1 year old (I forget its exact specs)
tablet pc that has a 1ghz proc and only weighs 2 pounds
2 ~400mhz pentium 2 computers
17 inch monitor
19 inch monitor
a projector (InFocus X1, up to 1080i resolution)
old 45'' TV (still works good, just not that sharp of a picture)
I'm not sure theres much else I can do with this stuff other then sell it, but I figured I'd see if anyone here has any creative ideas.
-
MacGyver would take that stuff and make a satellite that could launch itself into space. Then you could beam down satellite programming for free.
Just an idea.

Ohh! If you do that, can I sign up?
I have a paper clip and some chocolate pudding to donate to the cause.

I have been thinking about adding a small lcd to my bookcase and make one of those alternating picture frames. I always thought it would be cool to incorporate one of those into a unique place.

You could use that stuff to work on making a more efficient way to chill beer. Other than that, I don't know why else you'd want to accomplish anything else. And you can practice on RC Cola cans, so don't give us some lame excuse about being a minor and unable to buy beer

project ebay?

Some kind of porn machine is my only suggestion.

If you'll balance all that list on the pda while it's standing, I think you'll make it
into guinness.

I've always wanted to make a tiny cab. Do that.

Is it possible to add a 5 pound hammer to your list ?

I keep my 5lb hammer in my pants.

Now I get it.
Donate it for the projects sake, will you ?
-
Ship the projector to me, and I'll let you know if it's suitable for anything.
Or, how about something that plays Mame with one monitor, displays game information on another screen, and joystick\button assignments on the PDA or TV?
-
If you want a project, I need my driveway repaved.

Can you code PHP?

Dude, I have an idea. Portal ProjectorMAME. Build a small box with a CP that houses a MAME PC. Just drop it on a table and face a blank wall. That would rock some ASS.

I don't know how big that glass of Guinness is, but I'd like to balance myself on something and make it in there

KVM switch with both boards in a mame machine.
Use one of the old computers for a constant Internet sponge. nothing but xnews, edonkey, and utorrent.
-
approximately 12,394 heinekens. give or take a few
depende on how much you'll get on that projector

I keep my 5lb hammer in my pants.
is that because theres nothing else of note to keep in there? ;D
-
When you have a 5lb hammer in your pants, you need nothing else in there.
And you ignorant fools thought MC Hammer just liked big pants.
