10 Awesome Ways to Reuse Your Old Computer Parts and Accessories

The Internet is buzzing with various DIY gadgets and trash craft ideas: DIY Christmas lights out of bottles, chick handbags out of vinyl records and nice-looking accessories out of pop tabs…

All those are fun and obviously useful because they develop a great habit of turning useless stuff into something cool (maybe even if that’s pretty much useless in the end). They spur creativity and hopefully get families together (in making something and inspiring each other).

This post is about creating really awesome things out of computer parts and accessories (which get old so quickly and need to be recycled properly). This post is meant to promote sustainable living in all its beauty: you never throw away anything, you turn it for real good:
