Is there anything more satisfying than a DIY technology hack? I found out this morning that I'd left the garage door open over night, so I'm now toying with the idea of giving it a WiFi hack with a Raspberry Pi.

But it's that time of the week when we want to hear your own personal stories. Whether your whole home responds to your every action or you've merely hacked an old casette case into a phone holder, we want to know: which DIY tech hack are you most proud of?

Share your hacks in the comments below, and of course, pictures and how-to-guides are welcome!

My raspberry pi is overclocked to 1.2 ghz, doesn't improve it's performance very much though as I got the older 256mb ram version.
Not really a tech hack but I do have a vmware HA cluster made of Microservers, full DRS and everything going on. Good fun!
Im rather proud of my infrared camera mods….. Just done my 7th Nikon D70 today :)
CPU cooler is held onto an AM2+ slot using the intel mounting bracket upside down and a few cable ties.
couldn't be bothered RMAing it to scan because I got ‘too tall’ ram.

3 1/2 years later its still on :)
