a lot of folks sent this in, so we’ll put it up here, so it’s always here in our console section…the playstation 2 portable project. an amazing hack, taking a psone, and using a PS2’s guts to make a portable version, nicely done.

Led Video Cube Project
this is the hotness, over 1,000 leds make a 3d cube which shows severely low-res video.
this project is an exercise in representing the real world with leds arranged in a cube. using video as the input, the computer takes the image, reconstructs the data and displays it in the cube.
i’m going to drop them a note and see if i get a how-to cooking, this could actually make tv watchable again.

Beer Cooler With Peltier Pc Cooling Gear
using rechargeable batteries, a 1u cpu-fan, a 118w peltier cooler, a cold-plate and some pretty hacked up pc parts, you too can make a beer cooler and keep that brew in the sun. not that you’d really go outside that much if your hobby was hacking up pcs to make coolers, i haven’t been outside in weeks.
The Pc Toaster Mod
looking at my kitchen today i saw there were some appliances that i don’t use, but i could just mod them to have a pc in them and not have to worry about people thinking it’s weird to have a server next to the coffee machine any more. this mod uses a toaster oven as the pc. i think my little xandros box wants to a blender and ftp server.
