Artist Sandy Smith is responsible for this technological masterpiece…

Nintendo Wii PC Casemod

While most people like their Nintendo Wii just the way it is, this casemodder just couldn’t leave well enough alone, and insisted on gutting his Wii and replacing its innards with a PC.

I’m not really sure if this should be considered an upgrade or a downgrade, but Japanese modder “Mr…

chrome joypad is a shiny fingerprint magnet

filed under: computing | video games

I don’t care how much I have to buff my oily prints off of this chrome joypad. I want one. I can’t believe in all of the years that game controllers have been made that nobody has thought to make one before. And yes, this one isn’t some cheap plastic masquerading as chrome. It’s actually made from metal…

Vulcanus PC Metal Casemod

You could do all your computing on a lightweight MacBook Air, but a real manly man would use this computer that’s so beefy that it could smash your lightweight girly-man system into a fine pulp.

Hand-forged from steel by an honest to goodness blacksmith, Vulcanus is one bad mofo of a PC. Created by Czech builder Sergej, the Vulcanus will crush all other computers that stand in its way…

Barbecue Grill PC Casemod

Spotted at this week’s QuakeCon 2008, this is one computer that probably doesn’t have to worry about overheating.

The Barbecue Grill PC is definitely one smokin’ machine. But instead of cooking burgers and ribs, this grill conceals a complete gaming rig, capable of pushing plenty of pixels for playing the latest and greatest computer games…

Looking for a way to keep your souped-up PC from overheating? This series of bold acrylic cases out of Japan does away with convention by doing away with the exterior case walls, thus eliminating much of the heat which might otherwise be trapped by a traditional enclosure…

cheese wheel pc doesn’t come with a mouse [casemod]

Wheel of Cheese PC Casemod

I’ve seen some offbeat casemods in my travels, but I haven’t seen one quite this odd in a while.

Apparently, some guy from Holland came across this cheese display prop and said to himself, “I’ve always wanted a PC that looked like a wheel of cheese”. So he got to crackin’ it open, and loaded its guts with electronics…

rubber ducky mouse for your inner bert or ernie

filed under: computing | just plain fun

Rubber Ducky Mouse

The rubber ducky mouse is a mouse that has a little duck floating in some blue liquid at the bottom, to make your computing experience a tad more whimsical.

Rubber duckies always, always, always make me think of Bert and Ernie. I guess I just watched too much Sesame Street as a child. Just seeing this mouse got Ernie’s Rubber Ducky song stuck in my head for like 4 hours…
