Used to be, whenever you had a computer problem or techie glitch, you went and found the nearest geek to help fix it. But now, there’s a new movement afoot—a band of inventive and self-reliant geeks who hack computer and software to solve problems (and, in some cases, just to have fun). From building your own computer out of a cereal box to modifying safety goggles to see infrared rays, from skinning your laptop with steampunk trimmings to divising a foxhole radio, and from setting up a projector for your iPhone to working out with a dumbbell of old CDs, this book makes being a nerd, well. Cool.

Anything you wondered how to make, it touches on it. Review: Great little book - The title was a bit misleading - Tech Upgrades - it makes it sound like you are upgrading existing items. This is a book of small projects that are great introductory items to do to get started in electronics and the maker world. I do like the first chapter has nice introduction to electronics, it is very basic and is intended for some one that is new to electronics ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,197,626 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #269,285 in Science & Math (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 20 Reviews | ## Images ![The Ultimate DIY Tech Upgrades Guide: Build Your Own Laser + 74 Other Way-Cool Gadget Hacks - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pHEdQAISL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by B***H on May 10, 2015* Full of great ideas.
