German kiddywink creates best PC mod ever – Chernobyl power plant
I like this youngster’s style, and the finished result has left me with a tongue drooling in desire, however it’s claimed he created this PC case mod due to the Chernobyl map in the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Why not the real thing?
He’s only 16, so wasn’t even born when reactor 4 exploded in 1986 – but his case mod is impeccable, and even opens up to reveal the innards…

The G502 was announced by Sony Ericsson a couple of weeks ago, but I managed to get my hands on a preview model just two days later.

Our hipster brother-in-law My Chemical Toilet, you know, the one with the limp? Well, he’s just informed us of this new advert for the Microsoft Zune, which is actually a really good watch.
He made sure to remind us to let you know it’s featuring a new, unreleased song from N*E*R*D, called ‘Spazz’, but what we’re really watching for is the lovely Zune-a-licious colours.
Still think iPod ads are better?…
