This has to be one of the most detailed PC case mods I have seen in a very long time, and the fact that I am a huge BSG fan also helps. The Battlestar Galactica PC mod features everything you expect from the BSG show including a dock for the vipers and a front loading [...]

ZipZip USB Key

I remember a time when having a USB key was bleeding edge, when having a bulky thumb drive that held 32 or 64 MB of data was cool. I also remember having to also carry a drivers disk just incase I ran into a machine with an older operating system that wouldn’t recognize it. Now-a-days [...]

Vista Powered Super Nintendo

Now this is what I call a serious case mod. Some guy in Japan has taken his old Super Nintendo (known as the Super Famicom over there) and turned it into a Windows PC.
He started off with an MSI Axis 945GM bare-bones system and jigged it to fit into the Super Nintendo’s case. He even [...]
