Yeh, I think he knows that - I think the 'lets blow up an LC' thing was a joke/stress relief :-)
My favorite hack is to put a Quad 605 motherboard in an LC II.
Not very adventurous tho is it :-P
I plan on buying an AmigaONE Lite (G3/800 based MicroATX form factor computer) and build it onto an LC case. It's an ideal size and has all you need for an Amiga, apart maybe from a CD bay.
There's a Japanese website somewhere out there showing LC's as backpacks.
Hehe, interesting idea - tho I think I'd find one a little heavy to carry around.
And, as I've photo-journalled on my site, they make dandy unobtrusive second, external hard disks.
I have done similar with my Siamese LC hack. Works pretty well but sadly the PSU from an LC is too wimpy to run a decent size SCSI drive, even without the board attached.

With the right fans you could build 4-drive SCSI or USB2.0/FireWire RAID arrays in them with an External power supply. That'd be pretty kickin'.
