 When modding a case you always have to be cautious of how hot it will get on the inside. This guy figured it out and made the mod do the work for him. Take the case off your computer and extend the heatsink, now keep on extending it, keep going, keep going ... almost there. Good!
His entire computer is a heatsink. This is defenitely a cool mod, but it must get hot. The heatsink got up to 104ºF (40ºc), so it must get hot after a while in the room. There's plenty of surface area to disipate the heat, but it must get hot after a while and stay that way for a while. A good mod for a winter time, not so hot in the summer.
Plenty of pix and how-to's and how not to's.
Full case heatsink mod.

 This is a really cool Mac Mini mod/hack, and it is pretty well documented. Steampunk Workshop has lots of cool mods, all based off the Steampunk theme. What is steampunk? Remember the MacMod challenge winner for 2007? That is a form of steampunk. Basically imagine an analog version of anything you see today, based off of steam power. Kinda like "Doc" from Back To The Future III.
Anyways. Dave at Steampunkworkshop.com has some awesome mods. One of his readers did a mod based on his instructions and it came out beautiful! Marble based LCD with gorgeous details. If you haven't seen it yet, take a look. If you have seen it, take a look at some of his DIY's.

 This was posted early in the month, but I'm not sure how much play it got so I wanted to pass it on to everyone. ZodTTD is looking for beta testers of the Super Nintendo emulation on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Game play was said to be satisfactory and they are testing audio now.
If you love Mario & Luigi and want to be a beta tester, head on over now and sign up. They also have a free video streaming site for the iPhone and iPod Touch. So if you've got an iPhone or iPod Touch, this is defenitely a site to keep an eye on.
Try playing it and see if the theme song doesn't haunt you for days.

 There is a person that goes by Unklian in the UK, and he likes "useless things" and cats. Really. That's his title to his webpage at http://www.unklian.co.uk , "useless stuff". Taking a closer look you can actually find some kinda cool stuff. He has done two extreme mods to mice ( both fashioned after a furnace), and converted a car to a backward Trike, and refinished a 6-slice toaster.
I would say it is not a useless site, his stuff is interesting to look at and somewhat inspiring. I've always liked wood working, and Unklian combines the beauty of wood into the functionality of technology. He takes plenty of pictures and gives some good advice as to how he does his mods. Check it out, it's a small site so you can go through it quickly.

 The iToilet. Long fabled to exist the bathroom of the Yetti and the Jackalope has been discovered by YouTube members FEDEX & VALERIO. Looks like the first high quality toilet mod that I've seen. Take a look and think of it next time you have to run to the restroom.
Sit Down and do your business.
