There are lots of things you can do with old motherboards, like give them away to family and friends or build dedicated Folding@Home boxes for Team 11108 (that's Maximum PC, folks). But what about those slices of silicon that don't even run anymore? If you're been looking for a project, here it is.
Some unknown modder got the idea to build a replica of Helsinki, Finland using nothing but old printed circuit boards. This ranks as one of the coolest mods we've ever seen and would make an awesome piece of wall art. We only wish there were more information available, like who built it, how many mobos were harmed during construction, and what other projects the silicon city builder might be up to.
What do you do with your old computer parts?

Now he needs to build a valley out of MoBos... and he'll have the Silicon Valley!!
My exploding trick: Any iPad/Phone/Mac haters get a lot of silly putty, then clog up the speakers on iPad and iPhone or vents (if they exist) on an iMac and wait for a few minutes... then....
BIG BOOM!!!!

Genius! I think this would be a really cool summer project for me. I probably won't make it that large, maybe just large enough to hang one up on my bare wall.

I just drooled on my desk. I think it needs a narrow gauge train running around it...or a tron bike ;)
