This is a question DIY Techno-hacks

Old hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.

Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?

Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

A friend of mine
did something similar with his house, wiring up a 130dB siren in each of the main rooms downstairs to the burglar alarm.

When he eventually was turned over, the police said that it was the first time they had seen evidence of a forced exit from a burglary.
