Earlier this year, Raptr ran a competition where famed case modder Brian Carter would produce a custom PC based on either Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 or Battlefield 3. He eventually went with the latter. And it's awesome. More »

The Stuff Super Nintendo Nightmares Are Made Of

Luke Plunkett — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 04:30:00 EDT

While most case mods are designed to improve the appearance of a games console - or at least tailor it to suit the whims of a more fickle owner - we don't see many that will make small children cry. More »

How To Make Your Wii A Little More Versatile (And A Lot LOUDER)

Luke Plunkett — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 09:20:00 EDT

Do this, and you'll never have to complain about your Wii having no games to play ever again. Course, you'll also have voided your warranty. Actually, you'll have voided your entire Wii, since it's now nothing but a case for a ~~loud~~ VERY LOUD PC, but hey, some people will go to great lengths to make a point about the Wii and its supposedly limited uses. Pic of the guts (and the loud vid) after the jump if you're keen. More »

The NES Case That's A NES That's Great

Luke Plunkett — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 03:30:00 EDT

The premise is simple: take one NES cart, one NES, empty the working-bits from the NES, empty the NES cart, put the working-bits from the NES and squeeze them into the NES cart. Insert actual NES cart into NES cart NES, plug into TV, play Mario. Easy. It's the slimline NES we would have had if old Nintendo ever pulled a new Nintendo and released a slimmer, smaller NES, then released it in limited-edition, themed variants. More »

Brian Crecente — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 13:00:05 EDT

Wow. I have a thing about PC case mods, I think they're cool as hell. So I'm always looking around for them, just because I like checking out the details and seeing how they were made. Call me a geek, but I sort of feel about modded PC cases the way car enthusiasts feel about rebuilt cars. I want to check out their guts, look at step-by-step pictures of how the thing was made.

Pimp My Beaver!

fdemarco — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 23:00:00 EDT

I have seen case mods that glowed, had moving parts, looked like robots and any manner of other things, but this one really leaves all of those in the dust. The CompuBeaver was created by artist, Kasey McMahon , using an old piece of beaver taxidermy and yes, it really works. The foam insides were hollowed out and the eager beaver was tricked out with all kinds of gadgets and computerfied goodies including: More »

fdemarco — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 18:00:00 EST

NDS-Central, creators of the sweet SHOCK DS Lite case mods are working their customization magic again, only this time, it's for the Wii peripherals! First up in the new line of mods is Chuckii, custom shells and controls for your Wii Nunchuck. The shells come in five colors: red, yellow, black, navy white with custom black buttons and thumbstick. Not exactly sre why you would want to purchase the white one, but hey, to each his own. Next week will see the release of similar shells for the Wii remote and one would assume at some point, a case for the Wii itself. You can see more detailed shots of the Chuckii shells on the company's Flickr Gallery. Flynn De Marco More »

While most of the case mods I've seen should have remained a thought in the maker's head, this one is actually quite impressive. Pin Point over on the QJ forums is the mad genius behind this creation.

A "Clear" Answer For Crackage: The See Thru Casemod

Brian Ashcraft — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 14:21:29 EDT

With some folks running into DS Lite crackage, now might be a good time to consider your options. Take this Shock! casemod, for example. Just gut your portable and put it in this clear plastic DS Lite case, on which the good taste jury is out. Or rather, don't. Cracks or not, the part of the Lite's appeal is the glossy color of the original cases. Brian Ashcraft More »

Duct Tape DS Wraps Itself in Fulgyness

Brian Ashcraft — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 10:22:50 EDT

Eliza put out a call, and reader Chris answered. Unfortunately. Here is the ugliest DS case mod on this planet Earth. This oddly duct-taped DS was created by altometer1337 (oh, boy), a member of the Pocket Heaven forums. As soon as he finished wrapping his portable in duct-tap and coloring in the DS symbol with ball-point pen, altometer1337 posted this on Pocket Heaven, where everyone with eyes declared this case mod as truly hideous. Note that altometer1337's post signature is: More »

Don't Jump On This Koopa Shell

brownlee — Thu, 06 Jul 2006 09:40:29 EDT

Although the DS Lite on its own is obviously a lot more aesthetically pleasing than the original DS's more bloated, vaguely Soviet looking design motif, one interesting side effect of everyone replacing their old DSes is the sudden explosion of cool DS case mods we're seeing. Like this Koopa Troopa shell, designed by Penny Arcade forumer Kouri. More »
