Electronics and Things.

A little under 3 years ago I purchased a ASUS eeePC 701, the first one to come out. It's got a 4GB SSD for completely (I think) shock proof working and pretty extreme speeds, 512MB DDR2 RAM (now upgraded to 1GB) and a Atheros WiFi card.
It didn't take long for people to start taking these apart and adding bits and bobs. Unfortunately I've never had the stones, since I don't want to brick it. However, my soldering is getting a lot better and recently I've been thinking up ways to use this skill. So perhaps it's time for my eeePC to go under the iron...

Particular inspiration has come from IVC WIKI and more recently the F00's blog.
The first is an excellent resource and extremely well documented, the second only lacks a little information but provides mods that are a little less mainstream.

Currently the list of mods intended for my eeePC are:

• USB HUB for Memory stick {Backtrack 3 or 4}, Bluetooth dongle, GPS and a link back.
• iPod hard drive: I've got a dead 30GB one around here somewhere!
• touch screen w/ sylus mod (the latter is only a possibility at the moment)
• external antenna connector, leaving the internal one intact if possible
• LED for lighting the keyboard (something my ThinkPad has that can be really useful)
• FM Transmitter built just below/left of screen maintaining the LCD for station reading

I may also implement a few of these on my other laptops, but not all of them!
