Okay, the crocodilian pattern was created with common crafting supplies, but we much prefer our own "Man vs. Wild" interpretation of the console's backstory. Martha Stewart-esque origins or no, the final product is still downright unsettling.

Sci-Fi Xbox 360 case mod is ... shiny
Zoozen is, "A creator of consumer electronics and videogame accessories" according to their website. Frankly, they could be a maker of frozen slushies and we'd still be interested in this 360 case mod.
It looks a bit like Hello Kitty met your toaster and a Transformer, and some bizarre things happened behind-the-scenes, but the sleek curves of the end result sure look snazzy. We wanty. Hopefully it'll end up seeing the light of day.
Don't you wish your Xbox was hawt like mine?
Flickr account holder 'g3n3101' has posted a mighty collection of Xbox 360 case mods, highlighted by this WWII-themed diorama assembled atop a Call of Duty 2-plated console. Microsoft has long touted 360 as a customizable unit, and fans have taken that theme and run wild. Think that extended warranty is still valid? Think again.

White PS3 maker expands line to red, silver
Encouraged by the positive reception and high eBay sales price fetched by his white PS3 mod, Michal Berecki is expanding the operation to include silver and red system cases. The new colors are still in the concept stage for now, but Berecki has promised the brightly colored PS3s will be on sale in the coming weeks.
We can't help but be tickled by the idea of a home hobbyist filling in a market niche that a console maker seems unwilling or unable to fill. With three colors planned already, the sky's the limit. What kind of designs would you like to see on a future PS3 case?
This Half-Life 2 Xbox 360 case mod is way early
Dr. Gordon Freeman would be proud. This "first ever" case mod sure looks professional to us but, then again, we're not the case modding experts around here. We suspect the mod's builder may have been anticipating an '06 release for Half-Life 2 on the Xbox 360, before the series' second episodic installment was delayed until early 2007 ... and then again until Summer 2007. Now every gaming session will have a brief, but painful, reminder of the title's absence. It'll be okay, just don't make a Duke Nukem Forever case mod ...

NES plus Playstation 2 equals NEStation
Another day,
another NES
casemod. This NEStation from French console hacker kotami
certainly borrows heavily from the PS2's design, although we'd challenge anyone to fit a full-size NES into one of
those itty bitty slimline PS2 cases.We're not sure what the motivation behind this mod might be--perhaps it's down to the old adage that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Will we see the NEXbox next?

Mini Donkey Kong cabinet case mod
Most
case mods are giant, fire-breathing speed monsters, built to be impressive, majestic even. Full of equal parts epoxy,
plexiglass windows, and blue LEDs, they make LAN party-going geeks drool with jealousy. That's the part where Martin
Smith's beautiful Donkey Kong case mod might not fit in. A 0.5056 scale replica of the original cabinet, complete with fully functioning controls, coin door, and 10" screen, the Lilliputian case mod is perhaps a better fit for a one-of-a-kind emulation station; however, with an Athlon XP-M 2500 and an ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 256MB under the hood, it's hardly a slowpoke. Keep your eyes peeled at Quakecon '06.
[Thanks, Bloo]
