Pointless things to do with your computer

I have something pointless to do with my computer

Hooking up LED's to my USB port

Step1: Get 1 LED or light

Step 2: Get one USB port that is attached to a computer that is in the ON state (make sure the computer is on)

Step 3: Look at USB port the wiring config is shown below

#1 is 5v+ and # 4 is -

Step 4: Take the 2 wires form the LED and make contact with points #1 and 4

and there you go

Anyone else have pointless things to do with your computer???

A pointless thing?

1: Download random things you won't use :P
2: Draw random things in Paint/Photoshop/GIMP/Paint.net, etc...

Turn an old computer case into a box for just about anything or use a hard drive platter as a portable mirror. There's a lot of random things you can do with a computer...
