Fujitsu Econel server Battlestation!

Just bought an empty Econel for £10 and spent the morning ticking the back of it with an angle grinder so it can accept its new 1200w PSU. Motherboard bundle is still in the post but should make for a seriously cool sleeper. Amazingly, it’s not the behemoth I thought it would be-it’s only 1” longer than my NZXT case and about 3” shorter! What do you think?

Check out my Macintosh creation!

No Macintosh Plus was harmed in the creation of this-I bought it as a shell

VW Up! boot strut upgrade

I have a 2017 Up! and from new the boot struts hold the boot up well enough, but when you start closing it, it drops like a sack of potatoes! Just wondered if anyone had found some boot struts that fitted that were a bit more resistant to closing and not slamming the boot down. Thanks

EDIT: i said “back door may” and meant to write back door *mat. it’s pictured in the bottom right

I present to you something a little different…….Apple styling of 40 years ago

Don’t worry, I bought the case with no innards- no Mac was destroyed in the creation!

Replace Compaq Portable III keyboard cord

Having found no proper guides anywhere for replacing the keyboard cord, I have pieced together bits of information and managed to replace the cord. I used a curly corded PS2 extension lead to replicate to look and functionality of the original. Check the photos for which keys need to be removed to access the screws- the keys can be prised gently in a straight up direction (they are push fit). Hopefully the pictures help.

Can anyone exceed my MoT certificate of 700,000 miles?

This was clearly a mistake at some point on a car I owned about a decade ago but it’s always provided some amusement as the MoT certificates made me double take when I was flipping through before purchasing it….

First time posting here - looks a bit like a Tiramisu! New Zealand.

I found this one whilst hiking on holiday in New Zealand last month and thought it looked like a delicious cocoa covered dessert! Be great to know what it is

Finally got around to redoing these!

A simple job but put it off for ages as the MX5 lives in a garage and only comes out in the dry. Can’t believe how much factory seam sealer they applied, I doubt it was dry from the factory! Scraped back, straightened out, painted and a new one put in-I gave the other side the same treatment.
