Improvised Computer Maintenance?
bork:
Hacked a temporary hydraulic fitting to stop a leak in the disk drive.
Ran the computer room temperature to about 120F while pounding it with a rubber mallet to try and isolate a temperature related problem in one of the cpu's in the computer.
--
the disk drive stood about 6ft tall and held 75Mb.
the computer was four bays and each bay used about 5KW of power.
the computer room was about the size of a small bathroom.

Used a paperclip to hold my laptop's hinge together after it had broken. T_T

Did you ever use a magnet to get the pin back out?

Use a butter knife to get the fan off the heat sink? Somehow the pressure works better. I broke like 3 fans pulling it off. Never broke one using a butter knife.
