DIVpc: The Drunk Yet Fully-Functional PC

By

Designed and built by [H]olyGeekboy, the DIVpc is what a drunk and flattened Bender would look like as a computer. Under the hood, you’ll find “a Core i5 750 CPU with 8GB of DDR3 RAM, a pair of 750GB HDDs – and don’t forget the cheap bourbon.” Click here for more pictures.

[H]olyGeekboy’s computer with an attitude got his start as a desktop ATX case, attached to PVC pipes for arms and gas pipes for legs. His face is made from clay, wiremesh and Bondo with ping-pong balls for eyes.

N64Boy Advance: The Game Boy Advance Case Turned N64 Portable

By

Anyone that stood in line for hours in hopes of getting an N64 on launch day might savor at the thought of a portable version that is no larger than a Game Boy Advance. For non-gamers, Hailrazer’s N64Boy Advance is an awesome custom console nonetheless. Video after the break. Click here for more pictures.

Hailrazer built this one for himself, so he left out a number of parts that he doesn’t really use when he plays. For example you’ll see that it doesn’t have a d-pad.

Doorstop Stash Conceals Valuables From Thieves, Family Members

By

Concealing USB flash drives, money, and other small things just got easier, thanks to the clever “Doorstop Stash”. In a nutshell, you’ll need a “suitable hollow-core interior door, a cigar tube, a few tools, and some other odds ‘n’ ends.” Best of all, if your door is large enough, the stash tubes can be modified for larger items (paper documents, etc.). Instruction page. Click here for more pictures.

Not many people think of the space inside the door as a hiding spot, but it’s right there in easy reaching distance when you need to get to it.

NintendOscope: When Nintendo Game Boy Meets Oscilloscope

By

Here’s something you don’t see everyday: a Nintendo Game Boy that’s been hacked to play games on an oscilloscope. To be more specific, “a PM3065, a 100MHz dual channel cathode ray scope and apparently a collaboration between Fluke and Phillips.” Video after the break.

Sound is coming from the Gameboy speaker, and the weird horizontal brightness bands are an artifact of trying to film it.

Super Mario Bros. Recreated in Left 4 Dead

By

File this under: cool fan-made Mario levels. Super Mario Bros. levels have been created in a plethora of games, including but not limited to Half-Life, Unreal Tournament, and more, now here is a Left 4 Dead version for your viewing pleasure. Continue reading for the video.

Bill’s jumping is of little use in this board though – everything’s built too high. He busts out blocks the old fashioned way, with firepower. For the pipes and the final ascent, the creator, Chubdzoomer, evidently put in ladders.
