Evolution of Portable Gaming Consoles

The origins of handheld gaming consoles came in the late 1970s and gained momentum in the industry from the 1980s through the early 1990s when the many celebrated names of the "video game console" world jumped onto the bandwagon deeming it a lucrative business. There were names like Nintendo, Sega, Atari and NeoGeo, offering a different spectrum of games to consumers. Although some did not last as long as others (Nintendo), they did provide countless amounts of joy in their time.

Gas Stove Computer Case Mod

This is one of the most creative computer case mods we've seen. Built as a mini replica of a large gas stove, its many features include gas burners (meticulously made with plastic and blue LEDs), and it even has a bottom drawer that pops out exposing the DVD drive.

Czeck modder Zbyšek built the entire system by hand, including welding together the metal chassis, and creating custom plastic knobs and the fake burners out of acrylic.


Inside the oven door, you’ll find a fully functional PC, running a Pentium D820 3.5 GHz CPU, with 2GB of DDR2 RAM, and an nVidia 9600GT graphics card. And the DVD-RW drive is hidden in the bottom drawer where you’d usually put your spare pans.
