One of our readers just sent in this interesting "Home-Built Pong Laptop Clock" project -- inspired by the original. Apparently, a "modder" converted his Dell notebook into a Pong Clock using custom software. Though not the prettiest mod (lots of duct tape included), it works to say the least. Video after the jump.

What a shame... it's the most environment unfriendly clock I've ever seen : imagine, a Pentium III laptop, booting Windows 2000, just to showing a pong clock ? You should have a look at Linux, it has the hability to use an even more older laptop, without any hard drive (less power consumtion).
Anyway, that looks great :)

Something that would be cool is a pong clock as a screensaver!

Talk about being late to the party - did one of these months ago. Why do you need that giant fan? Poor engineering, eh? Hate to say it, but my homebrew Pong clock can kick your homebrew Pong clock's ass:
