Idk if it even fits in this community, but here we gooo
This stick of ram has been my emotional support stick of ram for almost a decade. It's traveled with me around the world, and been in my backpack through tough times.
Since it's so old and only 4GB, i can't really use it or sell it, which is why i turned it into a knife. It's surprisingly sharp, and short enough that the airlines in my country allow it in carry-on and checked luggage, so it can still be my travel companion
I have 2 AMD k6 300mhz chips. I tried to do that to one of them and never was able to get it finished. They are both just sitting in a bag in the back of a drawer somewhere so it's not like it mattered either way
I did the same with a 386 back in the day. Drilling that bastard was remarkably difficult.
A buddy of mine converted the fan and part of the heatsink from a Radeon 9800 Pro, at one point the fastest consumer GPU on the planet, to a hippie daisy decoration for his little dragon statue on his desk to hold.
I don't know what he did with the rest of the card.
I called up the agency that owns all airports and oversees airline rules in my country, and I asked about about my ram knife. They said something in the lines of "if the blade is no longer than 6cm, then you're good to go". I'd imagine staff can veto this if they see something particularly sketchy, but we'll see :)
I have a couple of 250mb ram sticks laying around, very old I know, they were kind of fun dangly decorations in my old place but my partner does not like the look. I hate throwing things away as it feels wasteful, so I’ll be attempting to carve a knife out of them.
