What's the weirdest thing you've done with tech?

What is the weirdest thing you have ever done with tech? Here's my thing:

 

I took an old PSU, very old, but it still had a 20 pin and at least 1 Molex, I used the paper clip method to short out the 20 pin. I plugged in a dead but still spinning hard drive. I flipped the switch on. And this is when I was very, very bored. I felt the hard drive start spinning up in my hand. I decided to try to move it around. It actually felt like a gyroscope in my hand. When my hand's position is between sideways and straight up, you can feel the force of the spinning drive moving against your hand. I thought this was FUCKING WICKED SWEET! I just now realized that this kind of stuff can happen.

 

So what weird stuff have you done with tech? Share below! :D

Don't worry. I had pants on at the time.

 

EDIT: The solder points on the back felt prickly...and stimulating.

I had a slim profile Dell PC and mounted a full profile graphics card into it.

I then used mechano to cover the holes, but a mouse got in it and started eating my mobo.  Wasn't aware of this but should have noticed all the green mouse droppings on my desk.

Anyway, that PC died and I learned

Put it in a grinder, chopped it up really small, pulverized any large fragments, and cooked it in the oven.

Did you seriously just waste 1000 bucks just to do that?

Yeah well I already ate a titan z for breakfast, so I figured this would be a nice condiment for lunch time.
