@lemmy.mlThere's a new hardmod called ModXO that's been making the rounds. Part of me wants to make a Shopify store selling handmade ModXO pre-builts, but when looking at the BOM and labor costs, the devices would be around $30 USD.
With BOM, labor, and Shopify costs, I'd need to sell 2 each month to stay afloat and while that seems low, I just don't know if that's feasible due to the age of the OG Xbox and niche market who could likely easily put it all tigether themselves.
This sublemmy is pretty small, so I think it's the perfect place to ask: is there a market for something like this?

Many of us have old computer parts lying around, but what are you supposed to do with old PC towers? Use your creativity, and repurpose them in unexpected ways.
I have a solar panel from a cheap Walmart device I tore down. Hooking it to a Multi-Meter shows it's about 2.25V (probably supposed to be 2.5V but runs a little low?).
What's something useful I can do with it?

Take the smallest pilot hole drillbit you have (1/16" or 1mm) and drill 5-8 holes in the bottom of your trash can. This not only allows the air to escape as the bag fills up, but also makes it easier to remove the trash bag later.
I've done this with two trash cans now and recommend it to everyone.
