It’s funny that in this wide world of geekery that this actually isn’t the first Rubik’s Cube chest of drawers I’ve seen. In fact, it’s not even the first one we’ve featured on Technabob. However, this Rubik’s Cube chest of drawers is the first one that you can actually purchase.

Ok, I thought those 5×5, 6×6 and 7×7 Rubik’s Cubes looked difficult, but this (unofficial) World Record 17x17x17 version has truly made my head spin.

The Rubik’s Cube started out its humble life as a simple little plastic puzzle. But over the years it’s found its way into everything from alarm clocks, to the technabob mascot to crazy viral videos. But this could be my favorite use for a Rubik’s Cube yet.

If you spent way too many hours of your childhood trying to solve that infuriating Rubik’s Cube, now you can have a constant reminder of your frustration every single morning when you wake up. This Rubik’s-inspired clock takes the basic design concept of the classic cube puzzler, and turns it into an LCD digital alarm clock.

Interactive artist Andrew Fentem created this cool electronic cube puzzle game loaded with colorful LEDs. The Fentix Cube is controlled by touch as well as through movement. While it’s designed as a platform, capable of playing a number of different games and puzzles, the interactive plaything happens to do a great job digitally emulating the old Rubik’s Cube.

I’ve seen all sorts of variations on the original Rubik’s Cube puzzle, but never one quite like this. EastsheenCubes take multiple mini-cubes and join them together to form one crazy looking version of the classic mindbender.

If solving that old 3×3 Rubik’s Cube is too daunting for you, maybe this version will make things a bit easier. The miniature 2×2 Cube is just one example of the kind of ridiculous stuff that people attach to their cell phones in Japan.

Think those old Rubik’s Cube puzzles are just too easy for your giant brain? Well have I got a real mind-bender for you to solve. These Irregular IQ Cube puzzles might just blow your head off.
