No slick and creative Ben Heck design here. When you think of game console mods, you tend to think of modifications that make it either more futuristic in terms of design, more better looking, more fun to play and to show off with but not one in a wooden box like this. In the pictures below, the original Playstation gets stuffed and jammed into an environment I don’t think it is quite used to, neither do I think it looks too comfortable, it looks rather like something you pull out of a drawer…
Take a look at the pictures below…
Looks like Ben Heck finally has some proper competition. The video below shows you what some kids are interested in doing these days, not playing on swings, kicking footballs about but giving video consoles a good mod.
Fifteen year old modista Xteaphn (that’s pronounced Steven, folks) has a little sideline going on custom-made portable hardware, with several mods to his name — including this pint-sized, battery-powered Wii. The thing is tiny — it’s dwarfed by a 13-inch notebook — and a full charge will give it about an hour of play.
Check out this fabulous retro PC design by Thomas who is a BA (Hons) student at the Arts Institute in Bournemouth, though this was just a one off final year project for Thomas, I certainly wouldn’t mind paying to have one of these sitting in my living room as a media centre and impressing my guests!
I’m not too sure what the purpose of this was but this modder shows how you can use the Wii mote and an iobridge module to control a small servo mounted coil gun – a python script and MoteDaemeon bring the events into the laptop’s domain. Catch the video after the break.
So it is possible after all. Luke Hutch has figured a more ‘simpler’ way to get a full working multitouch on the T-mobile G1. He has published a video to prove its not a joke and also a list of instructions for keen developers.
… he has figured out a way to demonstrate full working multitouch on a stock T-Mobile G1, and he even provides the video to prove it and a list of instructions for developers to follow suit.
Check out the demonstration video below, it ran smoothly and responsively, I’m sure all Android / G1 fans will be wanting to have this on your phones after you’ve seen it:

We’ve seen a few geek-inspired gadgets hacked and connected to Twitter before but not one that is as detailed (and as useful?) as this.
Ryan designed this because he kept forgetting after he had placed his clothing into his washer, after this, his washing machine now twitters and so announces when it is done. It also has a sign in the house that displays its status to help him remember.
A keen tech savvy Japanese modder used the touchscreen kit for Eee and modified his ASUS Eee netbook into a fully working touchscreen tablet pc.
It took about 10 whole hours and $120 to complete but the finishing looks fab, only one problem though, this particular Eee is no longer as portable and convenient to carry as other typical Eee’s! The mod is complete with a transparent casing accented with aluminum foil, check out the pictures in the gallery below… Continue reading »
