Ryan from New-Zealand send us a nice writeup about his custom-made kitchen computer that apparently made his wife real happy.

Check it out.

Usual disclaimer: Please remember that as with any project involving mains power, make sure you know what you’re doing and  do it safely, or don’t. Also respect your local laws and building code.

This is a project that will surely please guitarists, singers, or any other musicians that play on stage. Basically, you gut out a USB keyboard, keeping only the electronics and you build a pedal that you map to specific keys. This allows you to either scroll down a document (partitions, tablatures, lyrics, etc.) or even control a slide show or audio software.

Here’s a sweet project for those who want a Mac but can’t afford it: a PC that runs Leopard. Granted, the computer won’t be as nice as a Mac, but then again, considering the performance, it’s considerably cheaper.

I’ll stick with the Apple-built computer (I’ve been lucky so far), but it’s still nice to have options.

I’m quite sure that doing this that violates OS X’s license, but then again, I have doubts that those who build that PC will even have bought it in the first place.
