In this tutorial I will cover soldering through hole components to a PCB. To do this I will be setting up a Arduino Proto-Shield remixed from Seeed Studio. So heat up your iron and get ready to melt some metal.

With case mods getting more and more complex every day, it's no surprise that we have begun to see custom electronics and micro controllers being integrated into them. The most prevalent micro controller board we are seeing integrated is the Arduino. I have written a tutorial, with the help of Crenn, on reading PC fan RPM with an Arduino. In Part 1 I describes how to connect the fan to the Arduino and ouput the fans RPM to the serial console. So head on over to the MicroCentral section and check out the complete tutorial.

By SlaveofconventionPart 2 - Further Console Disassembly
The details covered in "Part 1 - Removal of the X-Box360 Outer Shell" will only get you so far. This guide will take you, step-by-step, through the next actions which will result in you having an even more impressive pile of parts instead of your nice, tidy, compact X-Box360 console. By the end of this photo tutorial, you will be ready to carry out the X-Clamp repair among other things and have much more access to the components for other mods.

Are you the proud owner of a linux or XP based netbook and wondering if you can get Windows 7 on there instead?

I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my Acer Aspire One A150 netbook (1GB RAM Upgrade), and this guide will take you through the fairly simple steps for you to do the same with your preferred netbook.

Part I - What it is, and why you should have one...
Microsoft's Windows Home Server (WHS) is, unsurprisingly, an operating system from Microsoft specifically designed for use with Windows PC's in the home. WHS has very reasonable hardware requirements, and will fully automate the backup of all of your PC's, help keep your defensive software in check. It will also provide additional easily expandable shared storage space and provide local/remote access to all of your files/folders, and without breaking the bank...

Part I - Removal of the X-Box360 Outer Shell
Before you can begin the vast majority of X-Box 360 Mods, the first thing you need to do is strip down your console. This guide will take you, step-by-step, through the process of safely disassembling, and reassembling your X-Box360. Following these steps WILL void any remaining warranty on your X-Box so proceed only if your warranty has expired, or you don't mind voiding it.

Lets face it, there will come a time in your modding career when you will need to solder something. This is not a task that should be taken lightly as it involves high temperatures, molten metal, and dangerous fumes. Not to mention the risk of damaging expensive parts. Why should you solder you say? After all there are plenty of other options to making a connection than fusing two pieces of metal together with molten metal.
