DIY Mobo Coasters?
Last response: in Motherboards
Apparently you can get a set of six coasters recycled from motherboards for $12.99:
Each coaster is approximately 4 inches in diameter (large enough to hold even the largest of mugs) and come in a set of Six, selling for $12.99 a set, which I feel is quite a good deal for the most geeky set of coasters there exists.

Yet I'm thinking a lot of us here have old motherboards no longer in use; what kind of tools are needed to cut through the board cleanly, and in a shape of a circle?

You could use a hole-saw if you didn't mind having a hole in the middle. But those photos are either doctored, or the motherboard pieces have been printed on, because those are not real circuits.

I'd love a coaster made from an EVGA X58 SLI Classified motherboard....
I wouldn't dare turning a still expensive mobo like the X58 into a coaster... perhaps wait until LGA 1366 becomes obsolete?

I'm sure you guys have lots of mobos lying around somewhere
