Summer DIY ideas?

[Darron D]

I left school today with no obligations to return for another 3 months, and so now I'm faced with the problem of finding things to do over summer! I have a few things planned, like work, recording some new music, hitting the gym, and playing tennis with my team. Those alone though won't keep me busy enough, and I want to do some serious DIY stuff that I didn't have time to during school. I've collected a bunch of computer junk over the past year and I hope to really come up with some unique projects made of these parts.   So my question is what are some cool ideas to try involving computers, old smart phones, networking, and electronics?   ideas, videos, DIY websites, etc are super welcome and I appreciate the feedback.   Will definitely share my products afterward!

SmartPhone controlled HTPC

HTPC, home server, trying Custom ROMs, etc

Home server is a good thing for you to try out. Or maybe you could build yourself a self-watering plant system with moisture sensors or something.
