Best. PC case mod. Ever: Microwave hacked, now a working computer
I’m considering launching a Tech Digest spin-off site purely for PC case mods, but think I’ve already found the best mod that will ever exist. Yes, even better than that nudie-girl one yesterday, and Chernobyl power plant one from a few weeks back.
Disguised in an old microwave, the inside is full to the brim with the PC’s guts, and the normally-transparent door has been transformed into an actual working monitor. If you look closely enough, you’ll see the food being reheated on the plate is actually the desktop wallpaper, with folders located…
German kiddywink creates best PC mod ever – Chernobyl power plant
I like this youngster’s style, and the finished result has left me with a tongue drooling in desire, however it’s claimed he created this PC case mod due to the Chernobyl map in the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Why not the real thing?
He’s only 16, so wasn’t even born when reactor 4 exploded in 1986 – but his case mod is impeccable, and even opens up to reveal the innards…
The axe man is back – Ben Heck and his Guitar Hero pedal
Well, Heck, he’s at it again. Mod-master general Benjamin J Heckendorn was commissioned by those at Guitar Hero to come up with a pedal and boy, did he deliver…
Something useful to do to your missus' sewing machine – turn it into a jigsaw!
Bet Tim ‘the Toolman’ Taylor from Home Improvement knocked up a few of these in his time!
Over at Hacked Gadgets, they’ve got an awesome video of a sewing machine-cum-jigsaw some bloke from Brazil knocked up, with the foot and feed dog doing the cutting of the wood…
Put that dusty Apple floppy drive to use, make an amplifier mod outta it
Some bloke over at Hacked Gadgets has taken his hand out of his underpants, and put it to good use – making an amplifier out of an Apple floppy drive.
It shouldn’t come to too much expense, and you’ll be able to pick up a 5.25 floppy drive fairly easily from eBay or even your shed if you save relics from your IT past. Finally – a suitable way to…
Xbox 360 Elite laptop – by special commission only
You may well have heard of Ben Heck before – he’s regularly the source of amusement and amazement for gamers across the world, thanks to his love of ripping apart games consoles and rebuilding them in exciting new formats.
Like that thing to the left there. It’s a standard Elite Xbox 360, only transformer-ised into a green laptop, complete with HD LCD screen and keyboard for chatting with fellow clan members about which Halo map you’re going to play tonight…

Handheld wooden SNES – the retro gamer's dream
Forget the Wii, Nintendo’s finest hour was surely the Super Nintendo. The Mega Drive might well have shifted more units, but the SNES had the games – Super Tennis, Super Mario Kart, Streetfighter II and 3D fest that was Starfox (although let’s be honest, that wasn’t great).
Chernobyl's explosion due to hideous Ukrainian PC mod, experts claim
This lovely PC mod hails from the Ukraine. Now, I know you’re eyeing the picture hesitantly, dubious someone would actually do this to their lovely PC tower, but let me clear something up for you: they would. I went to the Ukraine a few months back for holiday, and this sort of spectacle was sold in the shops, on the street, heck even the hotel gift shop.
The chap behind this wondrous creation, Mr. Valerie Beetle, is apparently obsessed with sketching (dragons…
