Hasta La Gadget!

Guess it’s time to dump that lowly 60-inch flat screen and upgrade to a 100 or 150-inch screen, because you’ll want something more size appropriate if you’ve got an NES console this big sitting in your living room.

This gigantic NES console from Pixel Art Studios is actually a coffee table, and it comes with a pair of side tables that look like giant cartridges, and a pair of jumbo drink coasters that look like NES controllers.

And while it doesn’t actually come with an NES console, you could always stash one inside the hinged cartridge door and hook it up to your TV. There’s even a pair of outlets on front for you to plug your console(s) into. I suggest that you get one of those old CRT projectors that can throw a 100 inch picture and has lots of old school scan lines.

The first six sets are available for pre-order now for just $1450(USD) – including shipping – and that’s for the table, side tables, coasters, and two pieces of 18″ x 18″ gaming pixel art to finish the look. After those sells, the price will go up to $1700 with shipping. Head on over to Etsy and get your living room outfitted in 8-bit style now!

Apple fanboys and fangirls, looking for something to keep you warm and toasty this winter? Why not go for an iPhone quilt, loaded up with all your your favorite apps?

This detailed “iQuilt” was made by Heidi Hendrix, and actually won two awards at the Maryland State Fair because it’s just that awesome. Each of its 20 home screen apps is intricately appliquéd, and include favorites like Angry Birds, Skype, Pandora and Facebook. She was also kind enough to leave the iOS6 Apple Maps app off, so you don’t have to be reminded of that while you curl up underneath it. And yes, we see that the home button isn’t round, but we’ll forgive Heidi.

The quilt measures 61″ x 86″, making it big enough to use on a twin-sized bed with a good amount of overhang on the edges. But if your bed is too big for it, you could always use it to cover up and keep warm while chilling on the couch. The iQuilt can be yours for $375(USD) over on Etsy. Sure, that’s more expensive than a 32GB iPhone 5, but at least you won’t have to worry about a 2-year contract with this one.

It’s funny that in this wide world of geekery that this actually isn’t the first Rubik’s Cube chest of drawers I’ve seen. In fact, it’s not even the first one we’ve featured on Technabob. However, this Rubik’s Cube chest of drawers is the first one that you can actually purchase. At least I think so.

This 2-foot-cubic set of drawers was created by engineer/carpenter Scott Blackwell of WoodCurve, and looks just like a giant version of the iconic 1980s puzzle. You can even rotate the drawers on one of the axes, which might make digging around for your socks in the dark a bit of a challenge if someone left any side other than the orange one facing out.

You can get your own Rubik’s Cube chest of drawers for $595(USD) over on Etsy. I’m still waiting for a version that works on both axes before I buy one for myself.

We’re so used to seeing Darth Vader dressed in all black, but his iconic helmet really works well no matter what color it’s done in. Heck, even Hello Kitty Vader was pretty imposing. But I think that this version of Vader, built out of old bits of reclaimed electronics and other junk looks really awesome.

I kind of wish that when they peeled back the helmet on Vader in Return of the Jedi, this is what they would have found underneath instead of Sebastian Shaw. I can’t tell for sure what all of the components came from, but there’s definitely some old adding machine and typewriter keys, circuit boards, gears and resistors on this handmade helmet.

It was created by Indiana artist Gabriel Dishaw, who has a love for making sculptures from found junk. The Darth Vader helmet is selling for $800(USD) over on Etsy now. While that may seem like a lot of money, I’m betting that Vader’s actual helmet cost him just as much.

Here’s a cool piece of jewelry for the graphic designer or creative person in your life. Each one of these nifty pendants features an individual Pantone color chip – an homage to print design that also makes a cool color accent piece.

They’re made by Budapest artist Gitta Hadabas of Hadigi Design. The pendants are printed onto a special holographic paper, giving them a really cool shimmering effect while viewed from different angles. The paper is set under a round glass cabochon, and placed into an antique bronze setting.

They come in a variety of colors, and sell for approximately $21 (USD) over on Etsy. Keep in mind that price doesn’t include a chain, but then you can attach these to a necklace, bracelet or keychain of your choice.

What’s your favorite Pantone color? I was always a sucker for “High Risk Red.”
