Epic Battlestar Galactica PC Mod
Short of spooling up the FTL’s and jumping, or having the firepower to take out an entire Cylon Baseship, I think this tricked out tower can do everything the actual Battlestar Galactica could do on the show.

Old PCs Made Into Sunset: Gorgeous & Geeky
Old computers. These days, they aren’t good for much, save for making them into a mailbox or something. Artist Sandy Smith… well, she had other ideas.
