I was asked by someone in regards to my Dual Drive LC hack to start a thread so people could post their own personal favorite hacks or mods. These are hacks you did to your own machines that you are particularly proud of. For example, I'll be posting my LC hack because I really like how it turned out. For fun, perhaps everyone could assign an Trash style ™ name to their hack.
Also, Trash, you can only pick ONE of your limitless hacks. I know this'll be tough for you.
Also, HackWhining is strictly prohibited in this thread. :-x

Project: Dual-Drive-LC™
Machine: Macintosh LC
Hardware: 1.44MB Floppy Disk Drive, 230MB Magneto Optical Drive, 160MB 2.5" SCSI HDD, 10MB RAM, Presto! 040 Accelerator.
System: System 7.1.1 Pro
Information: It's an original Macintosh LC with both a floppy drive and 230MB MO drive installed in the floppy bays, and a 2.5" SCSI HDD. The HDD is from a broken PowerBook 180 with a 2.5" SCSI to 50-pin SCSI adapter and Y power cable adapter. There are two plastic screws installed in which the HDD fits snugly and securely behind the fan, with the adapter resting parallel upon two oscillators. I had to do some creative cable origami with the SCSI cable, but in the end, it all fit nicely. It has installed 10MBs of RAM and a Presto! 040 accelerator. Networking is handled via MacIP over the Serial Port using an AppleTalk to Ethernet bridge.
