We have yet get caught up in the Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD chaos as of yet, still sticking with the normal DVD. A certain hacker seems to have taken his love for HD-DVD a little too far. The hack in question redirects users to the HD-DVD site when they try to access the main Blu-ray site. And while redirecting all www.blu-raydisc.com ...

Alright, check it out fellow gearheads. The Gameboy Color might be ancient by modern standards, but there was a time wher every 9 year-old on the block had one of these. And if they didn’t? They were laughed at for being girly men. Trust me, I’d know. Mash-Mods has created a Gameboy Color unit with a touch-screen module built right ...

Here is how we percieve this PC mods creation. One lonely, yet inexplicably charming computer nerd was sitting in his room, when all of a sudden he had a breakthrough. Let’s create a PC out of random crap I have strewn across my living space. Yeah, this old Little Caeser’s Pizza box will work just fine! Mmm, a leftover pepperoni. ...

At first glance, this “case mod”, if you can call it that, looked like the box I carried my belongings off to college with. Look a little deeper and you see that this box is actually a working computer. The UbuntuBox has got to be the ugliest damn case mod of all time. Isn’t there some sort of reward for ...

While you certainly won’t be able to house your pet shark, a gold fish or two would be living the high life in the legacy all-in-one Bastille. And if they don’t ...

With the long awaited Starcraft sequel on its way from Blizzard, we should be seeing more and more of these Starcraft fanboy projects popping up, like back in the good ole days of Starcraft on Battle.net. These Starcraft Origami pieces were made by a South Korean Starcraft fan. We will be eagerly awaiting instructions on how to fold our own. ...

Back when there were new Wiimote hacks being released daily, we posted our fair share of note worthy Wii hacks, but understandably, it has been a while since a new one had popped up. This hack is one for the books though. Using the Wiimote’s infrared camera beam, this dude has figured out a relatively simple way to make any ...

While it seems I barely ever have a CD jewel case to spare, it seems some people actually have an over abundance of the cases. If you are one of these people, here is a cool way to make a chandelier from the empty cases, rather than just chucking them in the trash. But what to do with the CD’s ...

Tetris might be my all-time favorite game. No matter how detailed graphics become, there is no beating the complicated task of organizing geometric shapes into complete rows. This wallet from Etsy’s KMC Designs is not only Tetris-themed, but made of duct tape! Theoretically, you can remove the individual Tetris pieces on the face of the wallet and make your own ...
