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.

I know it's an imperfect technique:
Yes, it's opening a great big hole in the interference-shielding properties of the case; yes, and you've got to watch out for dead air; yes, it looks like pants; but I haven't had problems with the first two yet, and the third is tolerable.

It's either spend more cash than I can afford on a better (possibly water-based) cooling system; permanently cap my system performance so it never reaches full performance; or just keep doing what I'm doing.
