I’m not sure if PETA would approve of Sarah Dery’s mousetrap design. On one hand, it provides captured mice with a decent resting place, and it makes it easy for you to toss them out the window while shrieking give them a proper burial.
On the other hand, the mouse wouldn’t need the coffin if…

The folks at Cubeecraft just posted a cardboard NES console template, which you can download here, but they didn’t make templates for cardboard NES controllers. Or cardboard NES games.
Or a cardboard power cord. Or a cardboard RCA jack. Or a cardboard TV. Or a cardboard player. Or a cardboard house. Or a cardboard world.…

Do that ten times, and then try to argue against the incredibility of the Lancer. Think what you will about the game, but respect the Lancer. This…

The Recompute computer has a case made from corrugated cardboard, glued together with non-toxic adhesive. Amazingly, it’s more heat resistant than plastic. Can I get an Xbox 360 made from cardboard?

This computer has to be the biggest hunk of junk I’ve ever seen. Cobbled together from cardboard, red duct tape and embellished with a Sharpie, the UbuntuBox V1.0 certainly won’t win any awards for build quality.
According to the builder, the guts of the old Pentium 3 tower are being used to power this Ubuntu…

Now I’ve seen some cheap speakers in my days, but even the chintziest ones I’ve seen were at least made out of plastic. Not these. These ones are fabricated from thick paper stock.

This boom box has everything you’d expect in a portable stereo: an amplifier, speakers, even an iPod dock. But this one is made out of cardboard.
While most portable stereos aren’t particularly waterproof, this one doesn’t stand a chance in a rainstorm. The Mini Cardboard Boom Box comes folded flat and ready for assembly. It…

Sure, you could go spend hundreds of dollars on one of those fancy robot kits, or you could be a cheap bastard like me, and pick up one of these.
At just 12 bucks, you can’t expect much. The TechnoRobot kit is a do-it-yourself robot that’s made mostly out of cardboard and held together by…
