Jeffrey Stephenson is somewhat of a god to PC modders and probably an uber-geek to the rest of the world.
I like his take on PC cases though, if for no other reason than it's so much better looking that the beige lump of aluminium beside me now. Hell, I might even be able to sneak this one into the living room without the Anti-Tech Fashion Police baton-charging me at the door.
The Skyscraper Photo PC is made from basswood and mahogany veneer to resemble the 1931 Hammond Gregory clock. The 11.3in LCD was rounded up from some in-ceiling car DVD set-up and is very useful for displaying the family snaps. Inside there’s a Via motherboard with fanless 1GHz processor and 1GB of Dram.
I prefer his Humidor NX and the Decomatic but this is another class addition. Watch the Skyscraper being built here.-Martin Lynch

It may not be a surprise to anyone clocking the monthly sales stats but right now, according to analysts VG Chartz, the Wii is about to overtake the Xbox 360 in unit sales.
Just another 220,000 or so will do the trick, despite the 360 having that one-year lead. According to its figures, the 360 has sold 10.32m units globally compared to 10.1m Wiis. The company bases it’s figures on those from ‘selected’ retailers, not console manufacturers. Whether that makes them any more accurate is another question.
Let’s all remember though that the Wii is one of those great little [big?] phenomena from left-field – a console platform that appeals to non-gamers - i.e. the scary people in white suits. It's global success has been as much a surprise to Nintendo as anyone else. It also helps that it’s great fun and cheaper than the others too.
According to the stats, the PS3 has managed 4.11m sales.-Martin Lynch

You might think the Disney stranglehold ends after your kids move on from the animated movies to snogging in the bike shed but Disney wants your tweens as well.
The dream factory has just launched a raft of new gadgets, from camcorders and iPod speakers to themed LCD TVs. Apart from the ‘themes’ they all have one thing n common – they are cheap as chips. The Disney Flix camcorder is a basic enough job, sporting various skins and costing around £50.
You can get your Jolly Roger kicks with a Pirates Of The Caribbean 15in TV with a resolution of 1024 x 768 and a price tag of £150. For you twinkle-toed lot, there’s a High School Musical set that looks like a school locker. More pics after the jump.-Martin Lynch
