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.

I know that my wife would never let a coffee table as geeky as the one this DIY guy created from old computer parts into our house. This thing would look really good in my office though. The builder took old mainboards and other computer parts and built one of the coolest tables I have seen.

The table is actually made from two tables with a smaller table that the mainboards and components are attached to inside the larger table. The larger table is made from wood and glass with LED lights to let you see all the geekery inside the glass table.

Small form factor computers are very cool. They take up less space than the average computer and look cool to boot. The downside is that the small dimensions often mean you can’t get high-end components into the device.

Shuttle has a new SFF computer that debuted in Europe a while back that has now made its way to the US. The machine is the J1 4100G and for a limited time you can get a free CPU upgrade, free video game, and a free gaming mouse.

Hard drives are growing in performance and storage capacity every day. While they are getting more storage, the drives are also becoming greener and reducing the amount of power they need to operate. Samsung has announced a new green HDD for desktops called the EcoGreen F3EG.

The drive is a 3.5-inch HDD that uses the SATA 3Gbps interface for desktop computers. The drive has four patters of 500GB each and uses Samsung EcoTriangle tech. This tech uses eco-friendly components, low power, and produces little noise.

Computer mice are mostly boring, but now and again something new catches our eye. Like these beautiful computer mice made from exotic woods. They were created by Russia’s AlestRukov, each one handcrafted from cultivated sustainable woods and carved, sanded and polished until they are shiny wood bling.

Each one is built from quality electronic components and feature an optical resolution of 1600 dpi, along with microswitches rated for over 1 million clicks. If that isn’t enough, how about a stiff, yet bendable cable that keeps the cord from getting in your way.

Asus’ Sabertooth 55i motherboard is part of the TUF Series, a series made especially to handle heavy duty computing, whether you demand lots of power or are a hardcore gamer. It will perform under the most extreme conditions.

You can count on the fact that Asus TUF Series motherboards have been put through their paces in their testing program. The Sabertooth 55i motherboard features the Intel P55 chipset along with a CoolMem! Fan Frame that will fit most standard 40mm or 50mm computer fans. These boards are solidly made and equipped with components that have passed military-style testing.

The world of business computers used to mean boxy beige machines with no style that were built with the lowest cost components you could get to make the cheap bosses happy. Today even the lower cost business desktops are getting at least a semblance of style. Take the new Dell Vostro 430 unveiled today.

The machine won’t be winning any beauty contests, but it is an attractive computer that would look good in an office. On top of being attractive, the machine also has some power inside and starts at a reasonable $699. You can get versions with Intel Core i5 or Core i7 CPUs and graphics from ATI or NVIDA.

MSI makes all sorts of gear today from netbook and notebook computers to mainboards, video cards and other components. Today MSI unveiled a first for the mainboard world with a new mainboard that will make gamers very happy.

The mainboard is called the MSI Big Bang. The board uses a Lucid Hydra 200 real-time distributed processing engine to serve as an intelligent graphics load balancer. That means that the Intel P55 based mainboard supports any video card.

The CPU market has been languishing with poor sales over the last year or so thanks to the poor global economy. As sales of computer systems decline, so do sales of CPUs and other computer components like GPUs.

Last quarter GPU sales increased slightly as OEMs and major computer makers restocked supplies. The same thing may now be happening for the CPU industry as Intel has increased its Q3 outlook for revenue.

One of the key components that you need if you are going to take advantage of all your PC has to offer is a good set of speakers. Without a decent set off speakers you can’t listen to your music or movies without having to wear headphones or strain to hear.

Logitech has announced four new sets of speakers for multimedia use with computers including the Logitech Speaker System Z320, Z323, Z520, and Z523. All of the speaker sets feature forward-firing drivers with 360-degree sound. The Z523 and Z323 systems are 2.1 sets with two satellites and a 6.5-inch sub. The Z523 has 40-watts of power and the z323 has 30-watts.

Normally, we buy a computer, use it for maybe two years, sometimes less, and it’s headed for the landfill. A more conscious user might just recycle the parts and use them for something else. An even better idea is this new system that never gets obsolete and so never requires throwing away.

This Jocko Chan designed computer for Dell provides an easy update of better components. Called LOOP, the system is ordered online and delivered directly to your home. All upgrades are available to rent for a limited period of time with an additional charge. The company’s employees would take care of all repair and enhancements. The components which are working in good condition are re-used whereas all other components are taken back for recycling.

I am a big fan of netbooks and use a MSI Wind U100 when I am traveling and have never missed my larger and much more bulky Dell laptop. Being a big fan of computers and gadgets, my desk is full of old notebook and desktop hard drives and sticks of RAM. If you have the same sort of hardware lying around, today we are going to check out what could well be the perfect netbook for you. The OCZ Neutrino is billed as a DIY netbook and if you are the type who builds your own PCs, it’s not nearly as DIY as you are used too. The machine lacks storage, RAM and an OS. What it does have comes at a lower price. Is the OCZ Neutrino right for you? Read on to find out.

When I want to hear some music I usually just fire up my iPhone and don my earphones or play the music via my PC. Some people prefer streaming music and other entertainment from the Internet via Internet radio stations.

VTech has announced that its new Internet radio hub is now shipping and available for purchase online. The device is called the IS9181 and is called a feature rich Wi-Fi music streaming device intended to be a complete music hub for the home. The device sells for $199.95.

I talked about the Logitech Harmony 1100 universal remote control back in February when we learned that the slick tablet style remote would sell for about $500. Today we are going to take a hands on look at the Harmony 1100 and see if the touchscreen beauty is worth all that cash. If you are in need of a universal remote for your complex home theater and those cheap, checkout line remotes can’t handle your gear, this may be just the product you need. Read on for all of the details on the Logitech Harmony 1100.

You already share all of your life’s details on Twitter, why not share your power usage? Tweet-a-Watt will broadcast your power consumption for all to see. Each device only reads one outlet, so you can really get the low-down on how you use energy.

Modified from a Kill-a-Watt energy reader, the Tweet-a-Watt slowly charges up just enough power to communicate with a nearby computer via an XBee receiver, then uses a predefined Twitter account to automatically publish the results.
