Hungarian BioShock fan Gregory Mórocz wanted to build himself a new PC, so he built himself a new BioShock-flavoured PC. Look at it. Isn't it wonderful? More »

Gamescom's Craziest PC Case Mods

Michael McWhertor — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 11:30:00 EDT

PC gaming is big in Germany, or so we've gathered by the rabid enthusiasm shown at Leipzig and Cologne's gaming conventions. Also big is the PC case modding scene, which got plenty of real estate at Gamescom. More »

The Best Team Fortress 2 Dispenser Case Mod We've Ever Seen

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:40:47 EDT

The last Team Fortress 2 themed PC case mod we featured, one built to look like the Engineer's sentry gun, was as ludicrous as it was impressive. Hardware modder extraordinaire Ton "TiTON" Khodee has done it again, slipping the guts of a highly capable PC into a case that apes the Engie's dispenser. It's adorable. More »

Pretty Sure This Violates the Warranty

ogood — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 18:00:00 EDT

From reader Michael Hurt comes this: a watercooled Xbox 360. As casemods go, this one looks like someone locked the A-Team in a barn, Murdoch and B.A. improvised with some aquarium tank hose and an aerator, and the gang saved the day. I love it when a plan comes together. More »

Return of the Dead Beaver Case Mod

Brian Ashcraft — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 06:00:29 EST

Previously we featured the Compubeaver, and it is again in moving pictures. Well, the pictures are moving, but the dead beaver is very still. Dead, too. Compubeaver [Boing Boing] More »

These PS3 Casemods Are Ridiculous

Luke Plunkett — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 06:30:00 EST

First up: Rainbow Six Vegas. OK, so it's less of a casemod and more of an everything-around-it-mod, but you have to admit: it's pretty amazing. It's Vegas! Built around a PS3! With casinos, and sexy Vegas lighting, and little pedestrians, and more casinos, and even a little SWAT truck for the Rainbow Six lads to kick back in after a job well done. More »

Elaborate Halo Case Mod

Maggie Greene — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 23:20:25 EDT

'Brooza' sent us a link to this pretty amazing Halo case mod. Me? Not a Halo person, but wow. The original post at Maxconsole says in part: "The creator is mentioned to be from the UK and is called 'Craget' with the following unit taking him 2 months to complete in his spare time. There are no internal modifications apart from the base cooler that he fitted with some LED's used to light up the case. The creator will soon put his creation up on eBay too." This is the sort of mod I'd love to see some step-by-step pictures of. More »

A Casemod to Give Grandpa Flashbacks

A tipper by the catchy handle of Jwalestrom went apeshit in our inbox this morning (in a nice way), and among the 6 enthusiastic bombs he dropped between 4:45AM and 5:33AM was this collection of Xbox casemods. More »

The Most Disturbing Case Mod EVER

Michael McWhertor — Sun, 13 Aug 2006 13:02:43 EDT

Bookmark this post. Whenever you're feeling down, feeling that your life is worth nothing, or trapped under a rock opting to die of dehydration instead of freeing yourself by severing your leg with your trusty pocketknife, reload this entry and take comfort in the fact that you are not responsible for the most disturbing PC case mod of all time. Do not give up. You have never been this low. Oh, sure, there may be some maladjusted son of a bitch out there working on an aborted fetus case mod, but until he puts pictures of said handiwork online, this one reigns supreme. More »

Portable Gamecube Stretches Definition Of The Former

brownlee — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 08:00:00 EDT

You know, we post these classic consoles go portable, but really, semantics can only stretch the definition of 'portable' into so thin a layer of adjectival smegma. Not to belabor the obvious, but everything is portable if size isn't a consideration. More »
