Mario Mystery Block that Turns On Your Computer
This project is an oldie, but it’s still a goodie. Make and give this block to a friend or family member who uses a computer tower, and it’ll give them an easy way to power the tower on. Truthfully, if you’re tech-savvy enough, you could take this design and customize it to power on pretty much anything, but I like this project’s original purpose.
The build does require a bit of soldering, so you’ll need to acquire the tools to do the job. However, Gabriel Olofsson, the creator of the project, admits that the soldering’s primary purpose is to just make sure the cube won’t break when someone inevitably smashes the button. It’s easy enough to do, even if you don’t have any soldering experience.
If anyone can figure out a way to make the box in a way where you can hang it from the ceiling, and get it to make a coin sound when you punch the bottom to power on the computer tower, please let me know. Because that’s the only thing keeping this project from being absolutely perfect.
