to the op, i think someone on here with the know how should make you two pieces of bread, from copper about 1/2 inch thick and run some heat pipes to a custom heatsink that would be amazing, although there is potential of getting burnt, but hey real toast has that hazard too!!

I actually like this mod! better then my bluetooth dongle in a travel size lotion bottle!! hehe

Hi all.

Thanks for the backup against the rest of the “trolls” on here. And yes, I am a poor college kid. :P Well, anyway, I don’t enjoy wasting a whole lot of money on projects when I could use it for other things. The CRT monitor is so amazingly old. I plan on getting an LCD monitor eventually. But as for the suggestions for part 1 of the project, I simply didn’t have time to finish the everything (hence the two parts). Yes, slim CD drives will “pop-out” the top, I had planned on making use of the levers to turn it on and off (use paperclips to magnetically turn the computer on and off by touching the two prongs on the motherboard).

As for the PSU, I couldn’t acquire a pico PSU that would A. fit and B. generate enough wattage in order for it to function fully (with part 2 kept in mind).

Once again, thanks for the support! I will be sure to keep all of you posted.

Cheers!

Here is another Linux toaster

A good way of cooling the computer would be to fit heatsinks inside the bread slots.

Then after a bit of heavy use it’d work like a toaster too :)

I think that when you push down on the toaster lever, it should turn on, and then when you shut your pc down, it should pop back up!

I think it would have been better to have the toaster levers be the on and off switches.

Would look better than the crappy looking black button sticking out the back.

Is the comments not word wrapping for every body else?

Lol, this hack involves sticking screwdrivers into toasters.

He should do something humorous with the toast slots, even

if it’s just something simple with red LEDs. It might also

be interesting to put a biometric scanner down one slot,

that way he’d look like a toaster-fingering badass whenever

he logs on.

toast slots now that i thhink about it! :)

bahaha. you think i’m poor? think again. you obviously are overtly judgmental. this is purely an observation made of your presence here. btw, those who are on a high horse never think they are until they’re knocked off. your horse may not be as high as your wife’s, but you’ve just shown that it’s high enough. And if I’m an ass for stating my observations, oh well… guess I’m an ass. I’d rather be an ass than a bully any day. And for old time sake (even though it was just earlier today)… piss off :-p

the pico-supply is a good idea, but that link pulls up a 404 on their site

try this one
