Famed case modder Brian Carter created this custom PC based on Battlefield 3 which features a crosshair intake fan, a fridge hidden in a first aid pack, giant military toggle switches and, wait for it… a spinning chaingun.

SillySparrowness not only has a delightful name, she is the cutest. She’s built a portable TARDIS (and really, all time travel machines should be portable) and made a nicely put together video documenting the build. All of that is awesome, but it gets better. She’s cute and clever. I want to be this lady’s friend.

Firefly fans can own this unique Serenity Bank Heist Money Pack from QMx for only $9.50. That’s 52% off the list price!
Each pack contains 12 exact replicas of the Alliance scrip that Malcolm Reynolds and associates liberated on Lilac, created by Serenity Graphic Artist Geoffrey Mandel. All bills are printed on high rag-content parchment, come wrapped in an Alliance belly band and are stashed in a glossy black box.
But wait, there’s more! This pack also includes a map of the infamous Burnham Quadrant, home to Reaver space and where tranquil Miranda orbits. The map is taken directly from the movie’s digital reference files, printed on archival glossy stock and comes folded inside the presentation box.
Though the remaining members of the Monty Python troupe manage to stay busy with their own projects, their paths must inevitably collide from time to time. They’ve rarely appeared together as Monty Python since the death of Graham Chapman in 1989, but a new project is in the works and it will bring them together once again.
Absolutely Anything is a live-action/CGI sci-fi comedy that will feature the Monty Python gang voicing a group of aliens.
Plans are for filming to begin in the U.K. this spring, with the Pythons voicing key roles as a a group of aliens who endow an earthling with the power to do “absolutely anything” to see what a mess he’ll make of things — which is precisely what happens. There’s also a talking dog named Dennis who seems to understand more about the mayhem that ensues than anyone else does. Robin Williams will voice the character.
The director, Terry Jones, told Variety, “it’s not a Monty Python picture, but it certainly has that sensibility.” And this is coming from the guy responsible for co-directing Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and solo directing Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life.
I’ll take it.
After a long, hard day at the office, imagine coming home and resting your feet on the Enterprise NCC-1701-C. The seller crafted the starship from ash, poplar, and cherry wood. It will set you back $3100 before shipping—but you can’t put a price on endless jokes about the warp factor of your living room.

R/C helicopter producer Bladez Toyz has struck a deal with Lucasfilm to bring the Star Wars franchise to its Pump & Play R/C range. The first offering in the series will be this 26″ Jumbo Inflatable R2-D2 which is blown up with a foot pump and operates much like a remote controlled car.
The inflatable R2-D2 is slated for release late this year, and will sell for around $60. Check out a demonstration video after the break.
Artist Alex Gross has created a series of cabinet cards featuring Victorian era pictures reimagined as sci-fi icons from today. I’ll bet the guy in this photo didn’t see that coming, but Nicolas Cage might have.

Pictures of upcoming figures and busts from The Dark Knight Rises DC Direct lineup have made their way out of the UK Toy Fair this week, some of which give us a better look at that Catwoman costume that everyone has made such a fuss about. And by “better look” I mean a pretty close-up look at her butt.
Check out more pics from the 6-inch figure, 12-inch statue and busts lineup after the break courtesy of Idle Hands.
Scalextric is creating officially licensed Star Wars slot racer sets that are due out later this year. The first is a 1/64 scale micro set called “Death Star Attack”, which pits Vader’s TIE Fighter against Luke’s X-wing as they race around a glow in the dark track. The second, entitled “Battle Of Endor”, is a 1/32 scale set that races Imperial Speeder bikes around a woodland themed track.
