Today, everything is about bulk. Everything is becoming more compact, even dare we say “snack-sized”. This user on the Ben Heck forums put together a creative gift for his girlfriend’s birthday. A NES Controller with the entire console built-in to the controller, as well as some built in-games. The NES Controller features the 2 player version of tetris, and a ...

Instead of worrying about buying an assortment of custom lenses for your video camera, why not just add your own SLR lenses on to the one you already own. The problem with adding multiple lenses is that your display winds up upside down because of all of the mirrored images. Joshua Reich fixes this problem with a few harmless tweaks ...

� How many cooling fans does it take to optimize your computers core temperature? Probably not this many. This PC mod is a tower composed of 66 cooling fans on the front, back, bottom, and top of the desktop. A project like this wold be much more time consuming than some DIY methods of cooling. With a PC like this, ...

If it were still Halloween season, I would probably add in a cute joke about this Mac Classic having a jazzy new costume. Since it isn’t that time of the year anymore, as I can already feel the quickly cooling temperatures turn my testicles into raisins, we’ll have to settle for calling this a really cool recycling mod. Being called ...

Man, oh man, have we seen some kickass notebook mods in our day. It feels like it was only yesterday that I was proclaiming the iTop the coolest thing since sliced bread. This Antique notebook mod is really one for the record books. Running off of Ubuntu (like that even matters when your computer looks like this), the Heirloom mod ...

Sure, it might not be as badass as throwing dice in an alley with your homies, but come on now, this is 2007 we’re talking about. It’s about time there was an update. Here are the rules to play the game: �+� ...

Ever wished your home could be as organized as your computer desktop? Well, not me, my desktop is an utter mess. But those of you who like the simple organization that your desktop offers, check out this project that brought the desktop alive. The project put paper files with a desktop-like background on the wall, along with pixelated looking titles, ...

Equally bizarre and cool, this ‘make your own Jabba The Hut’ project is one that I would love to do if I had the time. This is not a project to make a model, but a full scale replica of the hideous glutton from Star Wars. While you’ll need a lot of time and a whole shit load of hot ...

Some of us who grew up during the golden ages of Silicon Valley have built up a sort of nostalgia based around the old rainbow Apple logo. While this version of the log was featured on the Newton, we haven’t seen it on any Apple products since the logo was officially changed in 1998. Strangely enough, that’s when Steve Jobs ...

We’ve seen some really cool Halloween costume ideas the last few days, including the iPhone costume and the iPod Ad costume. And look at this! We’ve actually found one not centered around an Apple product. The “OMG! Awesome Party Guy Vid!” YouTube Costume is very clearly homemade, but isn’t a half-bad copy of the video stats section of YouTube. Though ...
