A Circuit Board Eyeglasses/ID Holder That Is Such a Geek Treat
I think this creation of geeky goodness, tops my list for ways to reuse old circuit boards.

Circuit Board Chic: Where Tech Meets Art
A circuit board may simply be a small, insulated board where interconnected circuits and components are mounted, but it has come to represent something much larger. In fact, circuit boards have been a source of inspiration and a material staple for designers and artists of all sorts since the widespread use of the personal computer.
I like circuit board pieces because they seem to embody the complicated and ongoing workings of a computer, but at the same time seem natural and almost organic because of their subtle, earth colors.
