Who said DOS is dead?

Here’s a great tool for anyone who still needs DOS for something… DosBox — not an emulator, it actually runs a complete dos virtual machine on your system.

Hamster Case Mod

Case modding is one of those things that I never really got into because I enjoyed playing on the computer more than playing with the computer. I do have an aluminum case with a clear window to look inside, but that is the extent of my uber geek case skills.
