Innovative iPhone case takes advantage of solar energy

, Dec 8th 2008 Discuss [1]

I’ve seen plenty of cell phone cases but not one can take advantage of nature’s resource for cheap power. The Japaneses put solar technology to work; they have transformed an iphone case into an eco-friendly device with an integrated Lithium-ion batteries and solar panel for energy resource. The LC-1500 is not just a plain iPhone leather case - under sunlight, the built-in Lithium-ion batteries can provide energy resource for charging or put your drained handheld back to work. The battery has capacity of 1500mAhm and weights in 100g; It will take about 13 hours to charge your iPhone with its solar system, or 3 hours via the conventional built-in USB charging port.

Cooler Master Cosmos Black bundle gets cooler

, Dec 4th 2008 Discuss [1]

Even though it was announced last month, the Cosmos Black case bundle from Cooler Master just got an addition that is definitely worth mentioning. In fact, it got a HyperZ600 CPU cooler added to the package, which suddenly makes it much more worthwhile. This new case is, of course, all black and the HyperZ600 CPU cooler is meant to keep the latest high performance processors running cool without drowning you in noise. The cooler itself features a 120mm fan capable of 800 to 2200 rpm. It also has a spacer that goes between the fan and the top of the cooling fins to better channel the air. This also has the benefit of reducing noise greatly. We don't know what CPUs this cooler would be compatible with, but it does seem to be rather universal. If the HyperZ600 cooler sounds interesting to you, then you should take note that it is only available as a part of the Cosmos Black bundle. [via SlipperyBrick]

, Dec 4th 2008 Discuss [0]

Bit-tech member Tomcatt has been showing off his newly completed Killzone 2 themed casemod.  Built primarily from MDF, "Helghan" has been a work-in-progress for over a year and is based on a building in one of the art concept sketches for the game.  Although a basic case was used for templates and core structure, just about everything else has been painstakingly crafted by hand.

Sinclair ZX81 casemod

, Dec 3rd 2008 Discuss [0]

Casemods follow a pretty simple equation: take a non-standard, preferably unusual container, add PC components, and voilà.  Of course, then the interest comes from fitting a PC where previously it simply wouldn't fit.  Enter modder Unravelled, and his Sinclair ZX81 casemod: a VIA EPIA Pico-ITX based computer stuffed inside this compact chunk of 80s memorabilia.

, Nov 17th 2008 Discuss [1]

If our review of the Mophie Juice Pack battery for the iPhone 3G appeals, but you know you're just too clumsy to cope without a more comprehensive case for your precious Apple cellphone, Incase may have the option for you.  The Incase Power Slider takes the company's standard Slider case and adds a 1,330mAh rechargeable battery; like the Juice Pack this can recharge your iPhone 3G's battery, but unlike the Mophie product the Incase sleeve covers all the edges of the handset.   Read The Full Story

If you've got to have a six-PC render farm for your business, you might as well make it look good.  Designer Fredrik Perman moved offices in North Carolina, and decided to put his six Intel dual-core PCs up on the wall of the lobby in a custom plexiglass case.  Lighting is from LED fans and ten 10-inch cold-cathode tubes hidden behind the aluminium frame.

Antec Skeleton case: a Convertible for your Core

, Sep 16th 2008 Discuss [4]

The Antec Skeleton case almost seems to be a contradiction in terms, as for your money you don't actually get much casing.  What you do get is a 250mm fan mounted on top of an arched framework, with a slide-out motherboard tray and, underneath, space for your PSU and drives.  Antec are saying it provides "unprecedented airflow", which I suppose is accurate unless up until now you've left your PC components lying around on a window-ledge.
