Posted in PCs by Conner Flynn on December 31st, 2008

Eazo Z70 Exterior PC sports a wood finishEazo is all about bringing luxury to everyday computing with its Z70 computer. The exterior, exudes a sort of manly charm with it’s rosewood finish amalgamated into an aluminum-magnesium alloy chassis. The wood has been painted with natural Chinese lacquer without any chemical additives, giving it that natural look.

Under the hood of the Z70, you’ll find an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9775 processor that should mean decent performance no matter what you are using it for. It’s even water-cooled so that you won’t accidentally burn your precious wooden wonder after hours of high performance.

Nokia Gun cell phone

Posted in Concepts by Conner Flynn on December 26th, 2008

Nokia Gun cell phoneThe above picture is just a concept for the moment. Seems like it would be a great redneck device for those creeping around in the backwoods of some southern state. “Hey Cletus. I just shot something.” “Dag nabbit! What’d ya shoot? Did you tie it to a tree and make it squeal like a pig yet?”. Thankfully it doesn’t exist, so that conversation will never be uttered into it.

However, this gun-inspired Nokia phone concept may come in handy for military and law enforcement. Unless it leads to accidental shootings while talking, which it surely would. I would hope the display shows a remaining bullet count as well as phone info.

Hohner Trumpet Call Harmonica

Posted in Musical Instruments by Conner Flynn on December 10th, 2008

Hohner Trumpet Call HarmonicaThis amazing five horn harmonica is like controlling a whole band with your mouth apparently. It’s called the Hohner Trumpet Call Harmonica and it’s hand-crafted by Hammacher Schlemmer as a special 100th anniversary product. It has to be the most powerful and odd Harmonica I’ve ever seen.

It’s tuned in the C-major key and also features 40 reeds, 5 brass bells and a maple pearwood comb. It makes a vibrato sound as the air flies through the bells. The Hohner Trumpet Call Harmonica is available for $119.95. But can you handle it? Will it even fit in your pocket?

Steampunk Mouse made with real mouse parts

Posted in Mouse by Conner Flynn on December 9th, 2008

Steampunk Mouse made with real mouse partsDaniel Pon loves Steampunk. So when it came time to make a steampunk mouse to go with his Steampunk keyboard and monitor, he went a little crazy with the design. The end result? Pretty damn cool. And maybe a bit morbid.

The Paradox Mouse is a great steampunk mod with typical brass, bolts, gears, wood, etc. A great neo-Victorian peripheral. But it has a few extra features that Daniel calls “ironic”. These features are a real mouse skull, shoulder blades and spine, all lovingly worked into the project. The skull sits on the front of the mouse, the shoulder blades as miniature cattle catchers, and the spine as the palmrest.

Posted in Mobile Phones by Conner Flynn on December 8th, 2008

Mobiado Professional 105GMT Gold, mechanical watch phoneMobiado is famous for its range of high-end cell phones, and the Professional 105GMT Gold handset is their latest. They call it “the expression of mechanical perfection, mastering of aesthetic details, and the integrity of consistent craftsmanship.”

The 105GMT Gold is made from single piece of sapphire crystal, ebony wood and a CNC-machined frame with a 24-carat gold coating on top. The keypad is made from sapphire crystal too, and hand painted with gold. What makes the Professional 105GMT Gold phone stand out from the rest of these gilded luxury phones is that it features a watch mechanism at the base of the case. No idea on price, but since it will be limited to just 50 units worldwide, expect to pay a small fortune.

Jeffrey Stephenson’s awesome retro casemod

Posted in Computers by Conner Flynn on December 3rd, 2008

Jeffrey Stephenson’s awesome retro casemodJeffrey Stephenson is no stranger to awesome casemods. He’s outdone himself this time however, with this one, dedicated to the Ingraham Cabinet Co., creator of radio cases in the WWII era. The Ingraham case mod is walnut-clad (though veneered) just like the originals he was inspired by, featuring a hand-built basswood frame layered on a mini-ITX SilverStone case.

Check out the polished chrome knob on the front from an Arlen Ness catalog, perched atop a final retro flourish: a Firewire 400 port. under the hood, things are less art deco and more modern: a VIA VB8001 motherboard, a 1.6GHz Nano processor, 4GB of DDR2 memory, and a 64GB SSD.

Vertical Chess Board puts your game on the wall

Posted in Games by Conner Flynn on November 29th, 2008

Vertical Chess Board puts your game on the wallStraight Up Chess is an interesting new version of the standard chess board. The chess set comes framed in your choice of several different wood options and you hang it on your wall. The pieces are supported by shelves that move with the pieces. So, instead of sitting across from each other for hours on end, you can just “move a piece whenever you walk by”. It even includes a marker to remind you who made the last move. Pretty cool idea.

Antique Vampire killing kit

Antique Vampire killing kitUsually our focus is on shiny new gadgetry, but let’s not forget gadgets of old. In this case a Vampire killing kit that has likely put to rest one hell of a lot of undead mo-fos in it’s time. This 200-year-old vampire killing kit was recently sold at an auction in Missisippi, where the bid ended at a staggering $14,850! That’s a pretty expensive way to kill a Vampire.

In the kit you get such useful tools as: A cross, Bible, Hand gun and silver bullets(In case you get confused and set out after a Werewolf), Holy oils, Holy water, Mirrors, Candles, Garlic, Wood and metal stakes. I’m not sure who the buyer was, but I’m guessing some vampire in Mississippi is in for some serious pain.

Datamancer’s ergonomic Steampunk keyboard

Posted in Keyboards by Conner Flynn on November 3rd, 2008

Datamancer’s ergonomic Steampunk keyboardDatamancer has done it again and this one looks like it would be pretty comfortable to use. It’s got the usual brass, wood and classic typewriter keys, along with some other really super details. Like some violet LEDs, an acanthus-leaf pattern etched into the brass, and a soft burgundy wrist pad that is removable for cleaning. It began life as a very rare but plain IBM Model M-15 split ergonomic keyboard, but as you can see, it looks much better now.
