hybred casemod combines pc, display in single box

This bold all-in-one computer borrows its combo concept from the iMac, but is actually a gaming PC. Modder Ville ‘Willek’ Kyrö always liked the idea of small-form-factor computers, but wanted the expandability and power to run his PC games. Being a talented modder with numerous cases under his belt, Willek decided that could have his cake and eat it too.

HyBred PC Casemod by Willek

The Hybred Gaming PC takes up residence in a custom-built aluminum box, housing both the PC’s motherboard and a 17-inch LCD panel. The system runs on a reasonably speedy Athlon64 3500+ CPU, with graphics powered by an ample nVidia GeForce 6800GT on a PCI-e bus.

In order to keep things cool, Willek separated the power supply from the computer, placing it inside an industrial-strength external case, complete with matching accent lighting.

The whole machine is illuminated by tons of LEDs, which makes it glow a bright orange when the lights go down. I especially dig the glowing Titan aluminum fans which provide plenty of visual interest from the back of the case.

iMac, eat your heart out.

Implied chaos & sound circuits of Ciat-Lonbarde

Mayanpiano
Prism Zuch

Peter Blasser is President and Designer of the electronic instrument producing entity known as Ciat-Lonbarde. The device plans on their site display a refreshing ability for incorporating chance and forcing experimentation - evidenced by instructions from the Paper Circuits collection (which almost simultaneously do and don't make sense).

[...] resistors with an X can be any value form 10k to 100k, randomer is better. chip "4015" is CD4015 CMOS register. Hairy capacitors come in pairs, they should be most similar within these pairs for the most variety.
[...]
There are three buttons: 1,2, and 4. When you have buttons 1 and 2 down, you are playing note 3, which you can tune with trimmer pots 3 and 3. In other words, the three buttons are binary counters for pitch. Figure it out.
Build your own approximation on, appropriately enough, paper (through-hole of course) -

Voodoo Envy 133 laptop breaks cover, poses

Talk about accurate naming.  You may not be too keen on the particular paint-job this specific example of Voodoo’s Envy 133 notebook is sporting - I have to admit, insipid-orange it wouldn’t be my first choice of color - but you have to agree that it’s a slickly designed machine.  The images come courtesy of The Next Bench, chief hanging-out spot of Voodoo aficionados.

Lest you’ve forgotten, the Envy 133 has the grunt to back up its narrow good looks.  It features a 13.3-inch 1,280 x 800 LED display, Intel GMA X3100 graphics, a 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SP7700 CPU and a choice of HDD or SSD drives.  Connectivity includes HDMI and two USB ports, one of which doubles as an eSATA port. The Envy also is a low-energy laptop for those that like to remain at least a little environmentally conscious, and its power brick doubles as a WiFi access point.

Plenty more photos in this gallery.  I’d be curious to know if any SlashGear readers have stumped up the $2k+ for an Envy 133 of their own, and if so what color they’ve chosen.  Apparently Voodoo have their own automotive paintshop, and can color-match just about any sample you send them.
