Okay, so it’s not perfect. In fact, Mario looks rather sick to his stomach. But this Mario mural made from old floppy discs is really a great effort. You have to at least give them that. Pretty impressive (and we’ve seen some cool Mario mods in our day). The person who created this Mario piece plans to create an entire ...

In Trans-cit: Big Friggen’ Transformer Made From Used Citroen
A few Chinese dudes spent around $8,000 turning an old Citroen into a large Transformer model. This fatty weighs in at nearly 1,350 lbs and looks to be about 20 feet in height. If this isn’t a mark of Chinese ingenuity, then I don’t know what is! — Andrew Dobrow Link [via]

It’s probably unnecessary, but if you have ever thought about water-cooling your PS3, Dragonpower has scattered details of this build over a thread at the Official Playstation forums. If you can do it, and you don’t mind massively voiding your warranty, a PS3 that runs silent and around 32�C under a heavy load could be your reward. Hit the jump ...

Actually, it’s not so much a ‘fire truck” as it is a “fire Porsche Cayenne S”—and it was spotted on the streets of Moscow. I suppose it could be used as a quick response vehicle, but my guess is that the FD picked it up so they would look cooler than the cops. More pictures after the jump.

The 8-foot Transformer “Optiumus Styro” art project was developed by artists Kevin and Tywen Kelly over the course of 2 years using only select pieces of styrofoam. Their geeky hearts were in the right place, but a Transformer like this would prove useless in battle. He’s buoyant, I’ll give him that – but it would only take a stiff breeze ...

I get it. A connector necklace for men is a much nerdier equivalent of the traditional symbol for males. So where is the socket necklace for women? Available for $27. —Sean Fallon Link [via]

The coolness of this case mod is plain to see, but what it actually does or who developed it remains a mystery. It appears that the case features an elaborate cooling system and a series of gauges that provide information on various processes like temp and CPU usage, but other than that all we have is plenty of pics–many of ...

As many of you have probably heard, Manhunt 2 will be hitting store shelves this Halloween. What you may not have heard is that Rockstar is giving away a Wii covered in blood stained stickers and a 50″ plasma television to promote the event. It looks cool, but covering a Wii with stickers seems like a cheap alternative to an ...
