PC Hack - How to Passively Cool your Computer without PC Fans!

Posted in A+Featured Hacks, Computer, Consumer, Cool, Design, DoItYourself!, Educational, Entertainment, Gadgets, HOWTO, Hack, Projects by max on the October 3rd, 2008 at 2:17 pm

PC fans have always been a major component of PCs in the last decade but there’s a way you can passively cool your computer using no fans at all.  You can follow this cool DIY on how to passively cool your computer without any fans, it could be a great knowledge just in case you need to build a completely, noise-free computer.

I have wanted to build a fully passively cooled computer case since I had my first Athlon Thunderbird 800 MHz. That time the fan noise was amazingly high, and manufacturers didn´t much care about the noise levels, and didn’t offer products for building a quiet PC. Nowadays a quiet PC is not much of a challenge to build, but totally silent? It would require that there were no moving parts at all. But of cource there has to be the compromise of a hard-drive. One could buy a SSD drive, but at least I don’t have that kind of money to spend. :)

DIY - How to Make Fabric Wall Art!

Posted in A+Featured DIYs, Art, Consumer, Cool, Design, DoItYourself!, Educational, Entertainment, HOWTO, Projects by max on the October 3rd, 2008 at 8:58 am

Here’s a really cool DIY on how to make your own fabric wall art.  I am not an artist but it looks really cool and I think you can apply this nicely to your home.

One of my very stylish friends has assembled several cool stretched fabric panels, which are hung in her home. I love the big, bold statement that this fabric art creates, so when I recently found directions on how to do it, I thought I’d pass it along to you. This tutorial is for a 20-inch-square fabric art piece.

It seems like some terrorists have made their DIY Hand Grenade Mouse.  The greatest part is that it doesn’t blow up.

Pyramid DIY - How to Build a Pyramid!

Posted in A+Featured DIYs, Consumer, Cool, Design, DoItYourself!, Educational, Entertainment, HOWTO, Hack, Industrial, Projects by max on the October 2nd, 2008 at 2:13 pm

If you are looking into Pyramid-related businesses (of course, we think all businesses are somewhat a pyramid-scheme), here’s a great article on how pyramids are actually built.

The first theory is that a ramp was built on one side of the pyramid and as the pyramid grew, the ramp was raised so that throughout the construction, blocks could be moved right up to the top. If the ramp were too steep, the men hauling the blocks would not be able to drag them up. An 8-percent slope is about the maximum possible, and this is the problem with the single ramp theory. With such a gentle incline, the ramp would have to be approximately one mile long to reach the top of the pyramid. But there is neither room for such a long ramp on the Giza Plateau, nor evidence of such a massive construction. Also, a mile-long ramp would have had as great a volume as the pyramid itself, virtually doubling the man-hours needed to build the pyramid. Because the straight ramp theory just doesn’t work, several pyramid experts have opted for a modified ramp theory.

Speaker Hack - How to make a Hi-Fidelity Speaker with a Styrofoam Plate!

Posted in A+Featured DIYs, Audio, Consumer, Cool, Design, DoItYourself!, Educational, Entertainment, Gadgets, HOWTO, Hack, Music, Projects, Speakers by max on the October 1st, 2008 at 12:36 pm

Here’s an incredible speaker hack that involves a styrofoam plate in the making of a hi-fidelity speaker.

As you can see on the picture, I did use a foam plate. I tried other materials and I found the best quality of the sound is produced by a lightweight material but strong enough to avoid excessive vibration. Paper plates are too soft, plastic disposable plates produces excessive vibration.

iPhone Hack - How to Make an iPhone Stand using Paper Clips!

Posted in A+Featured DIYs, Consumer, Cool, Design, DoItYourself!, Educational, Entertainment, Gadgets, HOWTO, Hack, Projects, cell phones, iPhone, iPhone 3G by max on the October 1st, 2008 at 11:31 am

Here’s a guy who managed to come up with an iPhone stand out of paper clips.  He’s even providing printable sketch sheet for those of you who want to make one.

It looks pretty simple, brilliant idea.  They could sell these with different colors of paint or somethin’

Get the template here. Print it out with your favorite PDF reader. Be sure not to stretch the document. If you have a ruler, do a reality check to make sure the document didn’t get resized when printed.  When the paper clip is straightened out, it should be the same length as the grey line in the template.  A pair of pliers will make your job a lot easier.
