Heya,
Not sure if I am ghetto enough to be in this awesome thread but I wanted to pitch in anyway. This is me trying to glue the broken hinge of a friend's laptop. I'm using epoxy resign and i needed to find a way for it to stand tight for 24h.
I hope it'll hold till tomorrow.
Edit: oh and btw run away from HP pavillion laptops like the plague. I've had nothing but headaches with those

i likes sculpture too..
anyhoo, when i am in that position, i put in a little super glue after mixing the resin type
then put up a stand or keep it on a pillow. the (cotton) pillow takes shape of the thing and helps!I've had few ghetto mods, but when i made them, they ended up looking something more than just ghetto... mostly.

awesome mods! yea i've forced several fans to gpu heatsinks lol
oh and swamp monster, i've finally figured out what your avatar is... i knew i recognized it from somewhere... its the Verran from Mass Effect.
my latest ghetto mods would be the Dell LED and switch assembly i pulled and plugged into my Foxconn MB. The header plugged right in lol. and i've got a 60mm fan blowing on my IGPs heatsink to keep it cool (OC the IGP to 950 from 450)

foil, sheet... yeah these stuff.

see, there is a fan on the side panel blowin in fresh air, and the suckd air from the VGA is getting exhausted by another fan under the case, which is directed by and exhaust tunel to the back of the case.
nifty eh?

could you provide a link to the pump?
Also it is fun to overclock older computers and bench them. I had a Athlon Barton 2400+ overclocked to 2.6ghz on a ghetto cooler. It was a Tt V1 zip tied using the mounting holes in the board
it was using a ati 9500 cooled by a 60mm fan ziptied to it. Too bad i don't have the phone that i took the pics with anymore or i would post them for you guys to see.
