Hark Back to the Good Ol' Days With the Portable N64
Forget the DSi XL, Nintendo should look to the past for its next handheld console. Or, just commission the modder-maestro Zenlock for a heap of portable N64s, so we can revisit The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in style. More »Back Up Your Valuables in a Time Capsule Gift Box

Like the Everest-climbing George Leigh Mallory, modder Tyler saw a Linksys router and decided to shove a MacBook inside, "because it's there." Well, it was either that, or a Billy the Big Mouth Bass. More »Remainders - Stuff We Didn't Post (and Why)

This is how you show you care: By meticulously hand-painting a controller for your girlfriend. Or, that's how you get her to play videogames. Or you want a pink controller, and you say it's for your girlfriend. [Flickr via Technablog]Lego R2-D2 Minifig Mod Adds Sound and Light
Sorry Jason. You trumped my LED Lego stormtrooper minifig with your cylon and Iron Man, but this modded R2-D2 Lego minifig kills them all with lighting and actual Star Wars astromech sounds. [Brickmodder via FBTB via Brothers Brick]PC-In-A-Vase Was Created by a Real Company, Not a Dodgy Hacker
Give Your Eee PC 900HA a Touchscreen
As one of the few tablet lovers here, I'm going crazy waiting for the Eee tablet netbook. Maybe instead, I ought to just make my own out of Eee 900HA like these guys. More »How To Hack a Nerf Vulcan to Fire 500 Rounds a Minute

A cow died needlessly for this, remember. Daisy, I think she was called. And it's just a tiny, crappy netbook. If you're going to mod anything into a leather-clad version we want to see a 150-inch plasma TV in shocking-pink nubuck. That would be a worthwhile use of skin. [EEEPCNews.de]Custom Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 On eBay Blows Minds and Wallets
Don't get me wrong, the limited edition gun-metal grey PS3 was badass and everything, but as you can see, this MGS4 tribute is on an entirely different level. Crafted by Morpheon Mods—aka, our buddy Ramon who was responsible for many, many other console mods—the entire console and controller is a combination of carbon fiber and midnight black done in a digital camouflage technique and protected with nine coats of DuPont Chroma clearcoat. If that wasn't enough, the laser-cut stainless steel marquee artwork is illuminated by 15 white micro LEDs and Hideo Kojima himself was kind enough to autograph it. Oh, and there is a working backwards-compatible 60GB PS3 hidden in there somewhere as well. More »
