Improvising and weird ideas.

[Shadow_Storm56]

This is just a curiosity post to ask what are some of the things you have had to do in order to make a setup work in light of unexpected problems. Not stuff like use a size b screw instead of size a. I mean like stuff whare somone would look at ur setup and be like wow this looks and works great but nothing is the way it was designed for. For example my main pump is actually a little solar hot water circulation pump that came into play when i had 2 pumps die and had it lieng around. What do others have for wierd things they have done?

I've used a highly overclocked core 2 quad and 8800GTS on a 300-watt power supply for Bestec (Definitly Worstec) without it blowing up for 3 hours.

I've had to drill out rivets and remove entire drive cages just to fit a radiator. I've also removed the hub from 120mm fans to create a radbox mount for rear case mounting radiators several times. I've ghetto-watercooled an Athlon XP back in the day, that was fun with aquarium tubing and the like. There's a lot of tricks you figure out over the years.

a buddy, after seeing a youtube video about it, forgot to buy thermal compound, so we were going to have to run up to microcenter no matter what, (where we got all the parts) so he used mayonnaise as thermal compound to see if the pc would post and boot to avoid having to make another trip in the event of a faulty part.
