10 ways to reuse old circuit boards

circuit boardCircuit boards don't belong in the landfill. They can be dropped off at your local recycling depot but before you do that, try your hand at recycling them into something useful. These 10 creative ways to reuse circuit boards are sure to inspire your creativity. While they've also been turned into consumer products, go ahead and make your own. A circuit board business card case will help keep you organized. The photo frames or coasters would be fun projects, and would make a great Christmas gift for the computer geek in your life.

If you still have more than you know what to do with, and you'd take huge pride in being known as the guy with the geekiest ride then this circuit board car is your ticket. You are sure to turn heads in this uber-geeky automobile decorated entirely from recycled circuit boards. While nothing quite compares to Jason's homemade wooden spoilers, this circuit board car comes awfully close.
