I like the wire going through the bolt hole of the TO-220 package. LOL. The paper towel rolls are a nice touch too. lmao.

Why the hell would someone do this, what is the point.

Though according to the article it's an alarm clock, that's one hell of a serious alarm clock as most of the components in it look PSU related. Big inductors, transformers, big diodes etc. In fact it reminds me a lot of a comptuer PSU.

because it is? on the right is all the high voltage rectification, middle is switching transformers, they took out the middle heatsink and left the mosfets and diodes hanging, and output filtering on the left. it's got all the holes to pack the wires for all the rails.

The squiggly multicolored wires are a nice touch. Looks very 'Wile E Coyote'-esque.
