“Suggestionofdoom” was knows of more ways to reuse old tech hardware:

I remember watching a video of Chris on YouTube talking about interesting ways to use the old tech. What I do is I make crafts out of it. When doing this first buy or get something to decorate (preferably something that will look nice). Go to IKEA if you have too. Anyway, cover it with the insides of the tech. Do what I did when I got the idea. There was a day in my neighbourhood when we made a charity fair. I made a booth where people could smash the stuff for charity. They smashed it and I helped the world. Anyway, I took it back inside and saw I had a blank chair (got it from a yard sale) and remembering this charity thing at school, I glued the hardware on it. Then, I did it with another chair – and another. Soon, I had bought and decorated so many chairs, I sold them on eBay. The money recently paid for my PSP. I also found more junk and kept decorating, Soon, I wondered what to do with it. I did the same ‘chair system’ with a few picture frames; one has a picture of my parents and me at the park when I was five.

Here are a few other things he has done with seemingly useless items from around the house:

Floppy Coasters: I took the floppies, covered them with plastic wrap, put glue on the side where the plastic meets and glued on a bit of cardboard.

Manual Shelf: I stacked old manuals and phone books, Found old boards in my garage and made shelves. They now hold my new manuals and stuff.

Toilet Paper: I’m a sicko, but I saved a ton on toilet paper. Think about it: if you let yourself blow your nose with toilet paper, then let yourself use the phone book’s paper as toilet paper. Plus, if you are in college, save all the money you can. Also keep a roll of toilet paper around so your friends don’t find out and think you’re weird, and if your girlfriend finds out and dumps you, you won’t get a paper cut on your eye when you dry the tears.

I’m not so sure about this last idea, folks…
