Hum. Been inhaling too much of that smoke, Wetzel? :D

YAY!

i just got more 72 pin RAM from old computers :). then i took some LEDs and switches out of the case, mostly for no reason, but hey, they're fun to play with! :D

Haha, that's almost what I do. I have a 15-pin male serial connector on my keychain, and it always gets peoples attention.

Of course ... it can be a little pointy if you lay down on the wrong side :)

well, if you ever come across any old hard drives, tie them onto fishing wire and make a wind chime. You can also tie dimms on the bottom of the platters to make it look even cooler. It anyone has heard platters clang it is a very nice sound. Give it to a geeky girl or your mom. They'd be impressed.

I have bins and bins of both 30 and 72 pin simms, as well as older PC-66 sdram. Good stuff, can do almost anything you want with it. Most creative thing i've seen involved lots of hot glue- a RAM man, 72 pin legs (2 sticks of double sided so he can stand), 30 pin torso, 30 pin arms, break an sdram module into 3 pieces along each of the tabs, use the shortest one for a head. Or get more creative and use old skool cache memory for a head. Real nice lookin desktop toy that just screams "imma nerd!"

use cache memory for hands/feet as well, use solder for fishing poles/anything else you'd want to do with it.

Cool. I like that idea. I may steal it :)

I may have to sell the plans on ebay ;)
