Just the video of the entire casemod process already deserves a mention on this blog. Will Urbina, a modder has created an “OS Xbox Pro” using the original Xbox dev kit, in addition he has put into his new PC some of the best bits of hardware resembling that of Mac Pros. It is absolutely ballistic! The OS Xbox Pro has a 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550s, an NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT card, 8GB of RAM, an 16GB solid state drive, and four traditional hard drives.
As you will see in the video, it boots to Windows 7, Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Ubuntu. Unfortunately for Xbox fans, no, it doesn’t play Xbox games anymore, its just the case that he wanted! All this was within a budget price of $1500, that’s incredible.

It runs Windows 7 and not Mac OS X, sorry Mac fans as touchscreens and Leopard just don’t get along together. Check out the mod in the video below:
NFS fans, got some extra space in your bedroom? This DIY project we’ve just spotted will definitely get stuck in your head. Just looking at the image of this Need For Speed Shift arcade, we don’t think many would be able to tell that its actually home made!

If you thought your iPhone 3GS’ hardware encryption was safe, you better think again. Yes while many of us (including myself) have great faith and trust in Apple and their OS developers, what we’ve found on YouTube completely shatters our minds on the definition of safe security. The quick video below shows you how vulnerable the iPhone can be at times when Apple tells you that there is nothing to be worried about. Removing the passcode PIN and backup encryption from the iPhone is actually easy-peasy!
This is so much more easier than many other smartphones currently available. Remember, the key is USB mode! Check out the quick tips video by Brian from CNET:
