Someday I’ll have the time (but never the creativity) to build something like this. I’m not sure what it is that draws me to these steampunk creations, but they touch a special place in my nerdy little heart. Anyway… check out the entire Gizmodo gallery here.
Case Mods
Forget Emulation… I Want This!!!
Published by September 10th, 2007 in Case Mods and Nintendo. 0 CommentsNot sure about the details surrounding this thing, but all I can say is WOW! One might argue that this baby is a few years late to the scene, but that didn’t stop one intrepid modder from creating a thing of dreams (from about 15 years ago). I mean… how often did you used to [...]
Here’s another slick case from the guys over at Extremetech.com. Apparently they’re having a case mod contest and this was another of the winners (along with Optimus Prime below). There have been a few wood cases that have popped up over the past couple years, but you can tell that some serious time went into [...]
Holy freaking mother of all things nerdy! I’ve seen a few case mods in my day, but I think this one takes the cake. Not only is it a fantastic representation of our good buddy Optimus, but it’s also one of the largest pc cases I’ve ever seen standing at about 6″10′ when fully assembled [...]
A few months ago we directed your attention to a unique and truly inspired creation over on The Steampunk Workshop. The Steampunk Keyboard created by one of the members over there is indeed a work of art and although the usability of this unique design might be in question, the supreme coolness of this clever [...]
One could easily make the argument that Ben Heckendorn is something like a modern day Michelangelo. His creations could easily be considered works of art, many of them on par with the Sistine Chapel (to us geeks anyway). However, there are others out there that have some mad hardware hax0ring skillz as well. Take, for [...]
Sorry about the lack of posts lately (as if anyone out there really gives a shiz). I’ve been in the middle of changing jobs over the past few weeks and haven’t had too much extra time for blogging. However, I did run across this super cool DS lite mod yesterday over at DS Fanboy and [...]
Ben Heckendorn Rocks the Atari. . .Again
Published by March 30th, 2007 in Case Mods, Games, Geek Fun and Hardware. 0 CommentsBen Heckendorn brings gladness to my heart with his clever mods and amazing home-built engineering. This latest beauty brings you the Atari, including cartridge-as-sunshade, in a portable format. Here’s the link to the engadget post, and here’s the link to Ben’s page for this project. It’s not quite nuclear fusion, but’s it’s right up there [...]
This is probably the coolest keyboard mod I’ve ever seen (not that I’ve seen a whole lot of em, but still). Keyboards seem to be somewhat neglected in the mod scene, but I think its mostly due to the fact that people don’t wanna mess with their main interface tool. If you get too tricky, [...]
Here’s a neat write-up over at Tom’s Hardware Guide. The guys had a chance to have a company called Protocase build a completely custom case for them. It’s an interesting story; the Tom’s Hardware guy sent his first design in, and they sent it back asking if he was sure he wanted something that bland. [...]
