Hasta La Gadget!

There are PC case mods, and then there are even more awesome PC case mods. Some might think that case modding for their PCs merely involves outfitting it with liquid cooling systems or stuffing them with LED lights. While that can be considered modding to a certain extent, this Incredible Hulk PC case mod by Derrick Johnson is indeed a sight to behold! Highlighted at Quakecon 2012, as you can see in the photo above, this case mod has been decked out in bright green neon lights, action figures of the Hulk and other Marvel superheroes while sitting on top of what appears to be “radioactive” ooze.

It is certainly one of the more unique case mods we’ve come across so far, although it seems that this is Johnson’s fifth case mod victory at Quakecon so we guess it’s no surprise that this is what he has come up with. Seeing as how high the bar has been set this year, it will be interesting to see what Johnson will come up with for Quakecon 2013. In the meantime additional photos of the case mod can be found in the source link below.

The Spectre series is undoubtedly the high-powered group of computers in HP’s line of personal laptops. The HP Spectre XT TouchSmart is the latest model designed for the upcoming Windows 8 OS. As its name indicates, the display (15″) is a touch screen with which users can perform the various gestures that Windows 8 now supports.

The first thing that popped right away is the display. It is a beautiful 15.6″, 1080p IPS display. We were able to see from a distance that it uses the IPS technology because both the colors and the view angles were quite extraordinary. (more…)

Just what is so special about the Smartype keyboard? For starters, the Smartype keyboard will come with a long narrow display which is capable of showing off what you type as you type it, delivering an overall improved typing experience while the viewable real estate is useful to work with other tiny apps. Developers of the Smartype keyboard claim that this display will help reduce typing errors since you are able to see exactly what you type without having to move your head, and unsurprisingly, it might result in speeding up your typing prowess.

Apart from that, more ergonomic reasons include a reduction in eye and neck strain, while an increase in concentration levels should be part of the benefits since you experience less distraction when you type. No idea on whether productivity levels will increase, as this is greatly dependent on the user. The Smartype keyboard ought to cost a Benjamin thereabouts when available. This is nice and good, but what happens when you use someone else’s computer without the Smartype keyboard? Isn’t that going to reduce your productivity and speed? I guess sticking to Typing of the Dead to improve your typing skills would be a far better option, don’t you think so?
