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.

Pleasantly retro in among the crowd of Apple earphone wannabes, these Ashidavox ST-90 headphones are Japanese imports and mighty pleasing in their grey, wiry simplicity.  A 25 to 18,000Hz frequency range with 112dB sensitivity and 8 ohms impedance isn’t going to win any awards for superlative performance, but if you’re after a distinctive and cheap [...]

This little clock is meant to look retro, but honestly the wood design looks like it was made out of plywood with some fake wood paneling tossed on top. However, the seller Gadget4all isn’t exactly known for their chic designs.

If you’re feeling the need to express your love of retro gaming a bit more often, these business card holders are one way to do it. Although, from the picture I guessed it was either a DIY project or a mod posted on eBay. However, these are being sold by an actual company.
