Custom Yoshi Wii for Sale

A customized Yoshi Wii is up for sale on ebay. Warranty voided for the paint job, current bidding is at $400 including an extra Wiimote, Wii Play and Mario Party 8. And for that value, our more anal side could overlook what appears to be streaks of unpainted white around where the case intersects with more case. No, it couldn't. We're that nitpicky regarding the accomplishments of others. Seriously, huge pricks. Children cry just looking at us. more »

The Stained Glass PC Case

Cathode Tan located this impressive and very shiny PC case mod over at MAKE. The case, we're told, is made from canary wood, copper, lead and stained glass. That is really amazing, though the choice of stained glass is sorta crap. Brian Crecente more »

Behold The Portable Wii

It is a dream of mine to one day have the money to commission Ben Heckendorn to create a custom console all my own, but as it stands I am flying to New York next weekend to party with some of you people and don't own any socks without holes in them. Instead I daydream of owning something as awesome as the custom Wii laptop Ben has created for Engadget. This semi-sleek little number has everything you need to get your Wii on wherever you go. Imagine how much fun it would be to sit down in a crowded plane, whip this baby out and start swinging your arms about like a madman. more »

Chromed Out Xbox 360 Shells... Cheap!

Let's face it. Faceplates are for chumps with no commitment and too much money on their hands. Stickers? Strictly for little girls. You don't want that nonsense on your Xbox 360. If you want a custom console, what you really want is a fully chromed out replacement shell, not just a DVD drive bay cover with that coveted mirror shine. more »

Amazing Custom Gears of War Figure

Emilio Lopez, the artist for a webcomic called Terranova, created this custom Gears of War action figure to give to his cousin for Christmas.
He started with a Munny do-it-yourself action figure from Kid Robot, added paint and Sculpy, and even created a custom box to create a toy I'd be proud to spend money on. Not for sale unfortunately, but you can certainly pick up a Munny or two yourself and have a go at it. Check the link below for the full process, from sketch to completion. Amazing work!

Ben Heckendorn is my hero. He's everything MacGyver should have been, but never was (screw saving people, the world needs more custom-built video game rigs). I bet if I gave him a 4x4, some screws and a torn, tattered picture of a Game Gear he'd have one with an 18-inch screen, DTS sound and Atari Lynx cross-compatibility ready for me in about seven minutes. more »

The One-Handed Xbox 360 Controller

No, you twisted, hentai wanking filth, this is not a controller made for Dead or Alive Xtreme 2. Put your debit card away. This custom wireless Xbox 360 controller, hacked by Ben Heckendorn, was made for a serviceman injured in Iraq. You might remember Heckendorn's previous custom electronics, like the Xbox 360 laptop and the Neo Geo Portable. more »
