Ben Heck, master modder of all things electronic, has taken a whole new route in his latest PC case mod. It seems Ben was kicking back a few brews of crisp, cold Miller Genuine Draft beer. So crisp, that Ben drank the whole thing, got completely drunk and configured the empty cardboard box to house a PC, CD-ROM drive and ...

Nothing is more fun than taking a broken video game console and putting it to good use. Years ago, I turned a Dreamcast into a guitar amplifier, which was one of my favorite DIY projects. Now we have some hardware hackers turning NES and SNES systems into bedside clocks. Hollow out some cartridges, turn ’em into a clock and lock ...

Not a lot of information on this incredible mod but as far as I can tell it’s a Hummer H2T (the pickup truck model of the H2) modified with a cool black/green paint job and tank treads. These tracked belts actually work, meaning you could scale some serious mountains with this bad boy. Unfortunately, there’s no word on top speed, ...

Those of you with an old Bondi Blue iMac G3 lying around, take note: you can actually use it for something useful. I know, it’s shocking but you’ve got to believe me. Modder Napes went and converted his old unit into a retro arcade. It uses sweet arcade-style joysticks and the 15″ display the iMac has is perfect for a ...

Have no respect for yourself? Excellent. You’ll surely be interested in Michel de Broin’s Dumpster Hot Tub. He essentially took your standard, disgusting dumpster and modified it into a hot tub. It’s a very odd mod and I don’t know what to think of it. I mean, I’m sure it’s relaxing but I’d feel pretty gross hanging out inside a ...

Here’s a video I found on Astorians.com that shows a hacked/modified Rock-afire Band from Chuck E. Cheese singing an Usher song. It’s hilarious and is on par with the other Rock-afire video we found. Link (via)

Some Russian modders managed to rip themselves away from South Ossetia for a few minutes and got to messing around with an iPhone. The end result? They made the Apple logo glow when the phone is on. A difficult mod? Hardly. All you need is a white LED with a resistor. Hook it into a power source and a ground ...

What happens when a bored DIYer throws a $20 DVD player inside an old Nintendo Entertainment System? You get a shoddy-looking, fully-working DVD player inside an NES. Get the cred, solder the lead, watch Club Dread. Link (via)

Seems acrylic bongs weren’t enough. Now acrylic case mods are all the rage. Of course, this also makes your computer easily modifiable and upgradeable because everything isn’t packed away in some wheel of cheese. Adding and removing cards, memory and storage has never been easier. The acrylic cases were designed by Digital Cowboy who are calling it the Acrylic Cowboy. ...

As many of you have probably heard, Manhunt 2 will be hitting store shelves this Halloween. What you may not have heard is that Rockstar is giving away a Wii covered in blood stained stickers and a 50″ plasma television to promote the event. It looks cool, but covering a Wii with stickers seems like a cheap alternative to an ...
