Look! It’s a portable Super Nintendo Entertainment System that looks like an oversized Super Nintendo Entertainment System controller! It’s understandably a tad on the thick side – about double the depth of a SNES cartridge – but you get some good old fashioned retro gaming on the go. It was designed by someone in France [...]

This fellow is selling a $180 hard drive case mod he built out of an old NES cartridge and a 250GB hard drive. By stuffing everything inside the case, he’s creating what we can only describe as a Nintendo cartridge that could potentially hold the code on every other game cartridge in existence along with [...]

When I was in high school I had a friend who upgraded from a 250MB to a 1GB. I thought that was a huge drive at the time (it was), at least as far as capacity went. It was a 3.5-inch drive, much smaller than the 5.25-inch drive he was replacing, but sadly his old [...]

Now people are turning busted gaming consoles into casemods. That’s just crazy talk!

Sure, they’re not as useful as some purpose-made cases, but these case mods are pretty cool. If your favorite gaming console bites the dust, you too could turn it into a PC with a little wire, glue, solder, duct tape and nerves of steel.
My fave by far is the Game Boy hack, because using the [...]

This is one of the most fun casemods I’ve ever seen. Someone — apparently a Frenchman — was able to cram all the guts of an NES clone into a Super Mario Brothers cartridge shell.
It’s got a slot on the top for actual game cartridges, two NES controller ports, and external power button and LED. [...]

How’s that for an attention-grabbing headline? Russian casemodder “Xooler” has created this utterly insane mod for an Nvidia-sponsored SLI casemod contest. Unless that motherboard is waaay oversized, I think the bike is kind of a shorty, but it still looks cool, especially the luminous coolant reservoir. Wow, did I just say “luminous coolant reservoir?” Amazingly, [...]

In case you’re tired of the Wii’s slim, understated style, now is your change to add a 3D mario busting out of it along with all the garish color the flying plumber is associated with. Be aware, this isn’t like a henna tattoo for your Wii, it appears to be permanent. I like the part [...]

Zune owners are a proud lot. I know several, and they rightly justify their purchases. At first it was all about “not an iPod”, but now that the Zune Marketplace has matured, the Zune is a great way to go, and you can ask any Zune fan about it.
Take my friend Josh for example, who [...]
