Well spotted by our friends at 2dayblog recently is this nicely done DIY netbook sleeve that is designed to look exactly like the controller of the retro Nintendo game console, the NES.
Here’s a bit of geeky PC fun for you all this Monday morning. This particular modder had a rather different approach to case mods and decided to apply more creativity and build this “log computer”. All the gut components of a PC have been fitted into this wooden log which has been carved especially for it.
The finish looks elegant and is a fantastic piece of carpentry. Might I say, this log computer case mod is unlikely to overheat with so much open space! Check out the full gallery after the jump…
If you’re like me and have got lots of old CDs and DVDs lying around at home, this new DIY iPhone dock created by our friends at Geeky Gadgets could help you make use of those long forgotten discs. I usually donate my old discs to charity shops, however I have lots with missing cases, so I might actually try this myself too.
The Recycled CD iPhone Dock will work for iPods and iPhones, you will require about 11 CDs or DVDs, some super glue and also a Dremel for cutting through the discs itself.

Here’s something abit more radical to start you off with your week. Everytime we stumble over Instructables we find something great, this time we’ve found this geeky DIY which turned an old IBM electric typewriter into a fully working computer keyboard.
I certainly remember having one of these around the house when I was growing up but I never thought it would be of any more use since PCs came along. Maybe now is the time to get it out, instead of taking it down to the museum!
I have to agree with the creator of this genius project though, is it a typewriter that’s a computer keyboard? Or is it a computer keyboard that’s a typewriter? If you’re prepared to sacrifice your old antique then hit the jump and find out what you’ll need to setup this cool, geeky project.
The not too long ago Power Mac G4 Cube was an amazing computer of its time but what if it had legs (or wheels to be precise)? This cool geeky mod involves the combination of a G4 Cube and a Lego Mindstorm NXT kit making it the “Cube Bot”. Check out the clips after the jump, they are well entertaining!
Most case mods that get featured online are usually very well done. As for this one, its been done so elegantly – its a complete disguise. The Samsung Eternity (A867), not really a popular phone known to many here in the UK is actually hidden on the underside of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) controller you see in the photo below.
If you hop through the jump, you’re see in the video that everything works perfectly fine (the phone that is!)…
