AI Thread Summary
Modding an Xbox into a PC is a popular DIY project, with resources available on forums like xbox-scene.com, hackaday.com, and makezine.com. Xbox-scene is particularly recommended for its focus on Xbox modding. Modern mod chips are affordable and easier to install than older versions, which required soldering. However, caution is advised as opening the console can void the warranty and there is a risk of damaging the Xbox during the modding process.

Thread 'The "Sun Scoop" Tracking solar cooker!'

My solar cooker is a DIY proof of concept. Ideally it should be made with a metal frame but I can't do that so it is wood with protective aluminum foil. The idea is to concentrate the light in a 6 inch diameter ball near the bottom of the cooking pot. It is called Sun Scoop because even though it is a part of a paraboloid, it looks like a big scoop.
