Trashed Toyota Prius Hybrids For sale
Buy a damaged Prius and salvage the running gear/innards for use in your own creation - Too much to spend on an art car for Burning Man but serious gearheads could do something interesting with this... Thanks Paul! Link.
Update: "Fety" in the comments says that the site is selling "access" to listings for $15 (and is unhappy about that) - our post was pointing out that dead Priuses exist and could be used for projects, we do not endorse or have anything to do with the site(s) besides thinking that dead Priuses are interesting.

HOW TO - Make a DIY PS2 Guitar Hero controller
Teebee918 writes -
So this is my second instructable, thanx for clicking on it! It is not fully true what the title claims, you do need some materials of course (in fact a lot), I just wanted to emphasize that I had no guitar or anything at the beginning, so it's not a "how to make a big guitar from a small original Red Octane one just by placing the circuit board from the GH controller to a real guitar" type of instructable. Well, maybe it would look much cooler, but I didn't want to sacrifice a real guitar. So I made the body of the guitar and everything from the proper materials and I took the circuit board from a PS1 joy pad. Some wiring and a lot of work and it's done. I'm satisfied with it and I hope you like it too.HOW TO - Make a DIY PS2 Guitar Hero controller - Link.

Relay computer two
Jon writes -
Why on earth build a relay computer when there are already computers over a hundred thousand times faster? Well, for two reasons: to prove that silicon is not magic and because I want to.Relay Computer Two - Link.The simple relay adder was built using free NOS relays sometime in 2005, but my goal was to someday build a more elaborate one that could run programs but not fill up a room like the early computers. Harry Porter built an incredible 415-relay computer which can be seen at this page...
I never thought I'd fully understand how his computer worked, let alone build one. Finally in spring 2007, I gained more understanding of computer systems from a course in college then joked to a friend about using the x86 instruction set for a relay computer to boot up Windows, which would've taken several hundred years on a relay computer running on a 50Hz clock. And so the inspiration began...
