I was looking around in my old pix and found this. A long time ago (2003-04?) I had the Asus A7N8X-E., Poor thing died on me but I just didn't have the heart to throw it away. I mean, I really loved that board. So I had it propped up on my desk as a memento. One day I was at a junk yard and when I walked in the office I seen that the owner made a clock out of a hubcap. Nothing new but rather cool because when I asked him about it and he said it was from his first car that he had in his life and kept it. Like me, he kept it as a memento. I forget which one car he said it was from but anyways....
 
I got home and sat down at my desk to play some good ol FarCry on my new LanParty nForce 3 250G. During the load up time I looked over at my Asus Mobo and it hit me, HEY! I can make a clock out of it!! So I did....Check it out. And yes, it's still fully operable to this day
 

I know right. For all you non-believers that don't think it's mine
 

BTW....I recall how it rendered useless; I had bought the Asus 6800GT Ultra and I didn't plug one of the two molex connectors to it. Here was the result:
FRIED!!!

ahhahaa- i'll give you 10 cents for it.

Out of curiosity, how come you didn't put the clock smack dab in the middle of where the cpu goes? Personal preference maybe? Otherwise, an excellent idea to turn into a clock.

Well, personal preference would be in the middle and quite honestly that's generally or typically how you look at a clock. But...I'm a little "different" and I choose to be original.
... As I said this board meant a lot to me, and still does, so trust me when I say that I carefully planned out where I wanted the clock to go. I wanted to place the clock where I didn't have to remove anything. So as you can see all I had to do was drill a hole where it is now, while making sure the back of the clock could screw in and not having the little screws hit anything. Plus, I wanted the hands to turn freely. I know, I know...all this for a broken down 'ol board but....that's me.

As long as you appreciate it. That's what matters.

You stole my idea. I've been taking old computer parts and making random things out of them. I have a hard drive USB charging station and a NIC charging dock for my phone.

USB charging station on a hdd? nifty...

I took the platter cover off so you can see the internals. It looks cool to me, but I have to redo it because the power cable for the hub broke off from the solder points when I was fitting it.

Exactly. And than you
