A creative home workspace for a designer/photographer with a full chalkboard wall

About the Mod The toaster case mod has always been a popular one. A particular favorite is the modded NES to take the game cartridges as slices of bread. This mod is its computer counterpart, with a Panasonic 4x slim DVD in place of the toast. Images of the build process are below and a full walk through of the construction can be found at www.toasterpc.com. The hardware itself well organized into a tiny space. The toaster is a GE 4 Slot chrome toaster. The computer hardware consists of a Via M9000 Motherboard with a 40GB Hard Drive, 512MB DDR RAM, a Sparkle 150W Power Supply, a Hauppauge USB TV Card and Netgear wireless 802.11 Network Card.

About the Mod If you're the nerdy, gaming type odds are you enjoy a nice cold glass of Mountain Dew from time to time. Odds are also that you'd give almost anything for a computer case like this.

Inside you'll find and AMD Athlon 4800+ X2 processor, 2 GB RAM, Dual GeForce 7800 GTXs, and a WD Raptor 75GB 10k RPM hard drive.

About the Setup Cheers! This our first post of many which will highlight extremely creative case mods, desk mods, and computer mods.

A full description of the build process can be found on the MetkuMods website.
