Oh god I feel a rant coming on...

#1, the Ipod dock was made for under $10, which is probbably pretty good because iPod docks probbably cost $50 upwards if they are available, and it looks like a bad shot of the paint job, but it would have been better had a darker coat, primer and sanding...

#2 yes it is old... so what?

#3 yes, that is pot in there, it is technically a PC mod, just the reverse of what you might think it is. Some people smoke pot, I dont, but if you wanna grow it in an old PC case (which is probbably a good hidable area) so what?

#4 I believe there would be, I saw a TV show with it once, but you'd need some resistors or something (I'm no good at electronics) but google it up and hope you find something :)

#5 If my exchange is ADSL equipped, and my friends is too, we could get a 96kbps line between our houses for an STD call (I think), although pointless when internet is becoming cheaper, still cool, and probbably better for not-so-legal activites that ISP's dont like...

#7 Err, how pointless, go spam some neopets boards or something

#8 read my reply on #5

#9 all non-flash based Ipods suck. Period. Flash memory owns them

#10 well done noticing that, but there still relatively the same size

mirthless – a 5g was used, but one isn’t *required*. That was his point.

"9. yaay HAD extras!

and double yaay for an ipod hack that doesn't require you to have a nano, shuffle or 5G! some of us still have and love our perfectly-fine* 4G's.

*except for gapless albums :(

' "It is not compatible with standard central office ADSL equipment, but requires a soundcard-equipped PC at both ends of the "last mile" copper connection."

That means it is totally useless....'

Unless you were to have a mile of copper wire and two computers.

On 2nd thought you're right, no one on HaD would have that kind of kit just lying about.

It would have been cool back in the day, I'm wondering if you can pull 96kbps with that over an acoustic coupling* via a normal phone call. Perhaps a cellphone and asterisk?

*(not the widget that holds the handset, i mean it in a general term like an rj-11 -> headphone jack dealie)

Just to identify the laptop being used in the magsafe for thinkpads. That is a T40 series laptop and more than likely the T41 model.

adsl via sound card – Along the same lines, is there a purely software modem to turn an audio card into a standard v.whatever modem?

This is not a PC mod. This guy was growing pot in an empty PC case!

The adsl one is a bit…old isn’t it? 1999, that has to be some sort of a record.
