The University of Sciences in Philadelphia takes the cake for Christmas trees built by computer geeks. This tree looks to made of old RAM sticks and is sitting atop a Beowulf cluster. You couldn’t make this holiday tree more IT if you tried.

Feast your eyes on this beautiful Bioshock case mod by Gregory Mórocz. Dubbed “Welcome to Rapture”, the case takes its design cues from an antique radio. It took several years to build and, by the looks of things, the effort was more than worth it.

This officially licensed Toy Story alien webcam stands at a whopping 15-inches tall, so you’ll need some serious desktop real estate if you want to bring him home. He’s also USB-powered, which might be too much for your poor laptop battery to handle. In fact, with power companies struggling to keep up with demand during the summer, this thing could bring the entire grid down.
Seriously though, this is a fantastically fun peripheral. In addition to the 1.3 megapixel webcam, it features glowing eyes and an antenna, “ooooh” sound effects from the movie when you unplug him, an external speaker and 2 additional USB ports.
See it in action after the break.

From CubicleBot:If you’re a superhero who sucks with computers, you may want to take some precautions to ensure you can destroy your hard drive just in case it happens to fall in the hands of your evil archenemy who’s trying to take over the world. God knows you don’t want him to know how much porn you watch.
One way to do it is to use the appropriate iFixt teardown to locate the exact position of your laptop’s hard drive, and then apply a sticker over the spot made from the pattern found here. Then you can simply drill through it when the time is right. This may also give people peace of mind when they want to dispose of an old computer, but are worried about any personal information remaining on the drive.

As a woman, I can tell you that we gals are generally shocked (and happy) when we don’t have to remind our significant other about an anniversary. I’m pretty sure it’s just part of the female genetic code to understand that it’s not in the male genertic code to remember the way we do. *
So, when you remember, that’s always a plus.
But when you not only remember and then come up with something geeky and awesome like this, well…
…let’s just say you’re likely going to get a little. ::wink::
Well played, crazedadman. Well played.
