Post pictures of everything technical you did yourself other than software. Be it a circuit board, built an engine, or even just a simple lawn chair. If it's a ghetto repair, it is welcomed!

Anyway I'll start with some stuff I recently repaired

Baked my dying GTX 580 back to life, and noticed afterwards the temps were a little high and the voltage wasn't stable. The old capacitors swelled up and weren't doing their job like they should, so I soldered some extras on:



I got new headphones and noticed my old X-fi sound card was outputting a low quality, electronic sound with muddy bass. Replaced the capacitors and opamp, and wow did it make a difference. The card sounds better than any I've used in the past. In case you can't tell, it's the brown capacitors

That is some ghetto shizzle right there >_>

Xbox 360 debug and programming jig. Plugs into the sidecar wires on a devkit, or attach jumpers to the pin headers on a normal console and you can have rs232 output or program the flash chip via SPI.

Made a basic mic preamp. External power, 2 stages, and external on/off switch. Switch lights up when powered on.
Voltage regulator supplies 5V to the circuit, and supports up to 35V input. Still need to add volume control and high/low pass filtering.
