Hario Skerton Ceramic Coffee Mill Mod

Ok, so obviously this post isn't a computer repair or an upgrade or a mod. Nope, it's a coffee mill mod. Like any good computer geek, I need me some caffeine, so this mod is related and it's IMPORTANT! I got the Hario Skerton Ceramic Coffee Mill from amazon.com. I like coffee mill just fine, but there are days where I just want my coffee and I don't want to spend the extra 5-10 minutes grinding coffee beans. I'm not saying I don't like the calming effect of manually grinding coffee beans, but you get it right, sometimes you just need coffee as soon as possible.

So how exactly do you mechanize a manual coffee mill?

Dell Inspiron 8600 Repair and Cooling Mod and Upgrade

Look at the things you can find when you go digging through closets and garages. Out springs an old Dell Inspiron 8600. I came upon this old laptop without an AC power adapter. I had to use a Targus Universal Power Adapter APM62US that I had on hand to get it powered up. It's not a bad laptop. It could do with a processor upgrade, but it works.

Acer Aspire 4810T Repair and Upgrade

Let me start off by saying I got a hand-me-down Acer Aspire 4810T in pretty bad condition. Bottom case holding down the hinge assembly was broken on both sides making it difficult to open the laptop without feeling like the whole thing was going to break. Also the AC adapter is missing.
