psp 3000, now polished with a plethora of pleasing lights

psp 3000 mod

Some mods look deceptively simple, like this customized PSP 3000. Sure, you see a few lights, and if you check out the in-progress pictures, you can even see more of the upgrades and fitting progress. But the end result is a disco inferno of lights and sounds that you’d never expect from looking at this…

honey, i got you a bouquet of light-emitting diodes

led_flowers_1

If there’s one thing us geeks know how to do is turn the everyday into something fantastically dorky. Our latest invention? LED flowers, trees and shrubs.

This high-tech plantlife does away with such petty annoyances as dirt, water and sunlight, replacing them with an ongoing thirst for electricity. Each kit comes complete with bendy branches,…

left 4 dead infects xbox 360 [casemod]

left_4_dead_xbox_360_casemod

This wouldn’t be the first L4D + Xbox 360 combo we’ve featured here on technabob, but I think it’s my new favorite.

Modder Tjpitbull decked out his 360 with a complete Left 4 Dead inspired look, covering the entire case with a distressed military green paintjob on both the console and controller. And you see that…

led menorahs: is it too early for a hanukkah post?

led_menorah

I know, we’re more than a month away from Hanukkah, but when I saw these awesomely geeky LED Menorah kits today, I just had to give them a mention. Heck, if it were the middle of April, I’d probably still write about them.

Our pals over at Evil Mad Science Labs have created these battery-operated…

bioshock 2 eve hypodermic syringe: sterilize before using

bioshock_2_eve_hypodermic

While most everyone I know has been heading off to get a flu shot, I’d personally rather get injected with a dose of Bioshock’s EVE serum instead of a supposedly dead H1N1 virus grown in chicken eggs.

This Bioshock 2 EVE syringe is an exact replica of the nasty looking hypodermic implement found throughout the game.…

this is a tribute: led mega man

mega man led

Mega Man fan Nicholas may not have scored the top spot in Capcom Unity’s Mega Man tribute contest, but he has certainly won my heart with his colorful and pixelated light-up figure.

Now, at this point, you may be thinking “colorful? huh?” I know, the two shades of blue does not a rainbow make. But…

ghostbusters arduino diy

I can’t say whether or not this Proton Pack will actually trap ghosts, but from this brief glimpse, there is one thing I can say for certain: this badass project is sure to score the top prize at Halloween costume contests, and isn’t that worth more than a ghost in a box?

The entire costume–you…

cherkassy motherland statue’s new led torch still has a touch of retro

cherkassy-digital-torch

I’m a bit surprised that this isn’t in Japan. Look at them pixel flames burn! That’s the new “torch” of the Motherland statue in Cherkassy, Ukraine. The statue is one of several Motherland statues built in several locations across the former Soviet Union to commemorate the people who fought or died in World War II.…

gakken gmc-4: 4-bit microcomputer kit won’t play crysis

gakken_gmc-4_microcomputer

Sure, you might have just gone off and bought yourself a brand new 27-Inch iMac this week, but if that system seems like overkill for your needs, you could can always go to the opposite extreme. This computer kit not only doesn’t run any programs that you’d ever care to use, it doesn’t let you…

yoda light-up tree topper: this, your christmas tree must have

yoda_tree_topper

Yep, Halloween is barely upon us and here I go jumping the gun with Christmas stuff long before Turkey Day has even arrived. Oh well, calendars be damned. It’s finally time to rid of that boring old star on top of your Christmas tree this year, and swap it out with something much better. Yoda.…

d*light pillow is probably made of unicorn and care bear essence

d-light-pillow-1

Ladies and gentlemen: World Peace is within our reach, thanks to d*light. Designed by Diana Lin, d*light is a “combination of ambient lighting and cushion”, a benevolent matrimony of woven polyester and SMD LEDs. It provides a soft light and just the right amount of warmth, such that even the Devil himself will repent and…
