This wouldn’t be the first time that casemodding king Ben Heck has cranked out an Xbox 360 laptop. As a matter of fact, this is the fifth revision of Heck’s portable 360 modding shenanigans. But the fact that he manages to cram such a beefy system into a portable case never gets old for me.

The Xbox 360 Portable –…

Nature lover/not quite hip iPod owner Josh D shows us what Dremel and good taste can do. Josh D sent his iPod mini to a time way way way before retro by equipping it with a cedar wood case with brass screws and plates. .

We already featured wooden cases for iPods before, but Josh went way beyond that and…

So what do you need to throw down for a little goodtime fun with a PlayStation 2? Screen, console, controller, games (and snacks optional), yeah? That’s the list (sans popcorn) that one industrious modder came up with… and then he packed it all into a briefcase.

Behold! The CaseStation 2, a classy black briefcase packed with Sony goodness.

This is…

I’ve seen a lot of console mods in my time. I’ve seen really horrible systems destroyed with ink pens and low quality paint, and I’ve seen consoles turned into art. What I’ve never seen is a console affixed with feathers. And now that is something I can never say again.

Apparently this pimped-out (heh) console’s name is actually the PIMPendo…

Some folks, when they make something as great looking as this custom Xbox 360 console, they give you the skinny. The rundown, if you will. A list of specs. A retelling of the effort, the hours that went into their craftsmanship. Not this guy. Nope. deviantARTist EvilDan is ready to let this one speak for itself.

The purple and green…

Check out this clever casemod which combines the shell of an old SNES console with the brains of a modern PC.

Modders quangDX and DuPPs took an old Super Nintendo they had lying around, splayed open its guts and married it with the internals of an Acer Aspire One A150 laptop, then dubbed it the aaSNES1 (is that pronounced assness-one?).…

Bring out your Victorian costumes and steam-powered, brass-colored…stuff: Destructoid are giving away a steampunk PC with specs as awesome as it looks. All they’re asking for in return is a video, photo or art installation of yourself with a steampunk theme.

The PC was made by steampunk artist Jake Hildebrandt to promote the release of the PC video game Damnation.…

Remember the old Nintendo Game & Watch LCD games from back in the 1980s? These early handheld video games have always had a bit of a cult following, despite their primitive, repetitive graphics, and drab monochromatic screens with cheesy color overlays. And while there are certainly some rare ones out there that are worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars,…

Here’s a unique mod: a bulldozer! This one’s got it all, and by “all,” I mean colorful lights and moving parts. You can paint a case all day long and glue on all the setpieces you’d like, but movable parts beat all.

The post title above is misleading, however; Russian modder Megalex’s custom bulldozer mod would only be good for…

A few months back, I reported on a guy who turned his old Sinclair ZX81 computer into a PC. When I wrote that post I was convinced that there would be no way that anyone could cram a modern PC into the even more minuscule Sinclair ZX Spectrum. But after Technabob reader Brian Smith read my original post, he set…

Modder Ben Heckendorm’s forums are always packed with portable projects, but this one’s a little different. You’ve got to hook up a separate controller, but that’s hardly anything to complain about when we’re talking about a Sega Dreamcast shoved into the body of a tablet PC.

The Dream Tablet, as creator Werd named the project, runs on batteries and required…

Anyone (read: not me) can construct a PC from loose materials; people do it all the time. But if you’re gonna build something, you might as well build it with gusto, just as one arachnid fan did with this amazing scorpion PC.

This glow-in-the-dark mod features strips of circuit board and other extra bits to achieve its unique, scorpion-inspired look.…

Here’s what this looks like: a workable, playable Famicom cartridge modded to contain an entire Famicom. But oh how deceiving looks can be. Really, this is a Yinlips media player with a Famicom emulator stuffed into a business card holder shaped like a Famicom cart.

But the result looks great and it gets the job done–the job, in this case, being…

In this case, no one can hear you scream. The Alien Assimilation Playstation 3 casemod is definitely going to give me nightmares tonight. I’m not really sure what’s going on in there, but it couldn’t possibly be good.

Tattoo artist / casemodder GivinTats, created this creepy looking case by hand-sculpting layers of epoxy putty – the same stuff use to mend…

It’s been a good few years for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Not many teams have racked up two Super Bowl victories in such a short time. So what can we do to celebrate the team? Ogle a Steelers casemod, of course.

Someone really likes shiny things.
The casemod was designed with the Steelers’ helmets in mind, with the graphical logo on one…
