The iDM71 iPad/iPad 2 Case has a stereo speaker system built into it thanks to flat NXT stereo speakers. The case is made of a faux leather material, and will fold into six positions, so no matter what typing angle you prefer, it’s all good. It can also be used as a movie stand. The iHome iDM71 iPad/iPad 2 Case with Built-in Rechargeable Stereo Speakers will cost $99.99.

iHome is also offering a cool new iPhone dock, the iA17 App-enhanced Color Changing Stereo FM Alarm Clock Radio for iPhone/ iPod. This alarm clock features a “wake-to-color” mode. The translucent cabinet will change color, with five colors available. The alarm clock also has an FM radio, and it is an app enhanced device that works with the iHome+Sleep app, and the iHome+Radio app. The iA17 alarm cloak radio is $99.

Feast your eyes on this Tron case mod. It looks like it could just zip away from your desktop, leaving only a trail of light behind it. Bods Mods has just completed this 40-inch long lightcycle PC and unleashed it on the world. Or the grid. Whatever.

It features an ATX motherboard, liquid cooling, and blue light aplenty. It was created using SketchUp, Google’s 3D modeling app. After that it was a lot of foam shaping and Dremel work. The detail is simply stunning. Bods Mods has entered this case in Cooler Master’s 2011 Case Mod Competition.

Cubitek has launched a new range of gaming PC cases, which they are calling the ‘Tank Series’. The three different models are the XL Tank, the HPTX Tank and the Mini Tank. The name is very appropriate as these new PC gaming cases are made from black hairline-brushed anodized aluminum and looks like a tank.

Each is capable of using high end graphics cards, and all three come with USB 3.0 ports, e-SATA and HD+AC97 Audio. They are built for “silence, functionality, and sexiness”. What do you think? Are they sexy?

Remember the Chucky movies? The ones with the psycho doll that killed people? Well, he’s back. This time he’s on a PC case. The modder who made this must really love Chucky. It was made by Omar Majzoub who spent over six months and $2000 on this Child’s Play computer. As you can see it’s designed to look like a giant Good Guys box.

Good guy my arse! Chucky is outside of the box, but there’s a mini-me Chucky, Bride of Chucky and Son of Chucky inside the case. I hope he doesn’t hang around this thing at night.

These days you have your choice of computing interfaces and platforms, but maybe you’re looking for something a bit different. Something retro that still incorporates your modern gear. If that’s the case, check out this antique typewriter that has been modified to work as a USB Keyboard for your PC, Mac, or iPad. It’s fully functional computer keyboard. But also a typewriter.

It not only looks awesome with an iPad on it, it will work with all letters, numbers, and punctuation marks and includes shift, space, and return carriage, which is really activated by the typewriter’s return carriage. What about non-standard keys like F1-F12, esc, ctrl, etc? They are all available on a special toggle key.

The Scooterputer takes portability to a whole new level. It comes from modder Stephen Popa. This is basically a Thermaltake Element V case with plenty of gaming power sitting on a 24v rechargeable electric scooter that has been stretched a full 11 inches to maker room for the computer.

The computer case has an Intel i7 processor inside, along with 4GB RAM, GTS 250 graphics card, three RAIDed hard drives, USB 3.0 port, dual layer DVD burner, Thermaltake TR2 1200 Watt power supply and it’s water cooled with Thermaltake Big water 850I kit.

The Level Twelve casemod from Jeffrey Stephenson is pretty decent looking if you like wood. The box is constructed from Teak and Birds Eye Maple and holds a 2TB hard drive, an optical drive and four front mounted USB ports.

Other specs of this mod include an i7-processor, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB Crucial C300 SSD and a Lenovo H320 case. Jeff makes computer cases look damn good. If we had computers in the 1950′s they would look like this.

This guy is doing it all wrong. We aren’t that impressed when someone takes a beer keg and turns it into a PC case. What this world really needs is the technology to turn old PC cases into full beer kegs. That would help the environment and give us more beer. More beer is always good.

But having said that, Ben Lzicar has turned an empty Anheuser-Busch keg into a PC case and it’s pretty cool. He powder-coated the keg with a beautiful shiny black finish, decked it out with chrome, and loaded it with bright blue LEDs. Of course, there is also a bottle opener.

If you are a car enthusiast and a PC user, then this is the perfect V8 engine/computer case for you. This thing is just awesome looking. This case mod has been created in the form of a traditional V8 engine with dual PC cases and engine components. One DVD drive is fitted into the air intake to complete the effect.

You can almost see it shaking with power. The creator did an amazing job.

Over the years, I have laid eyes on some strange casemods and have seen more than one machine that was submerged in oil. A new casemod has surfaced that has a Bioshock theme. The builder uses an aquarium to put his new HTPC under four gallons of mineral oil.

The mineral oil is normally used as a laxative for horses apparently. The mainboard and PSU are mounted to a clear plastic sheet and placed into the aquarium. The only hardware part not under the oil is the HDD. The maker rounded the design out with a bubble filter, gravel and a few other things.

The fashion-minded among you will love Canon’s G12 camera now that it has had an aesthetic makeover thanks to Diane von Furstenberg, who designed this model exclusively for AHAlife. Only 50 units will be available to the mass market.

The fashion designer loves photography, so she decided to help gussy this camera up. This special edition of the Canon G12 will come with an Andy Warhol lip print in Swarovski crystals and a zebra print case for fashionistas.

Samsung has announced not one, but two new music players for music lovers. The YP-Q3 and YP-U6 will both be showcased at the upcoming IFA show.

The YP-Q2 features a simple design with a color-matching user interface, 5.1-channel sound support, SoundAlive, and up to 45 hours of audio playback and 6-hours of video playback. The YP-U6 is a simpler media player with a color display, SoundAlive, fitness mode, voice feedback, and up to 20 hours of continuous audio playback per charge.

What would a HTPC have looked like circa 1985 if Nintendo had made one? You’re looking at it. If you have a spare NES system at home, why not make one yourself? That’s what this person on Etsy has done. This mod uses a Zotac motherboard, dual-core 1.66GHz Intel Atom N330, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and 2GB RAM stuffed into the original NES casing.

That’s a whole lot more powerful than the original NES system. There’s also an Ethernet port, Wi-Fi b/g/n and a 4GB flash drive with Ubuntu 9.10 installed.

Your business associates should know where you stand in the whole Mac versus PC thing so make it easy for them to see with this MacBook Business Card holder. It has a little keyboard, a dock, and a menu bar and the screen is replaced by a compact mirror, so you can fix your hair.

Miniature versions of the MacBook, the MacBook Pro, and the MacBook Air are available. The card holders will cost you around $30, assuming you can navigate though the product page which is Japanese, to make the purchase.

Sure, the iPad is great as a portable media entertainment system, but it also makes a great digital picture frame. So why not dress it up accordingly and have the most expensive Digital Photo Frame there is. Marware has several cases called Photoshells.

The Photoshell is a case made to look like a picture frame that accommodates 5 x 7 inch photos. The case is made from a smooth rubberized plastic. So go on and display your photos, logos and signs, whatever.
