After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain.  I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain.  If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration. 

Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

    Published: Monday, December 27, 2010 - Modding Building a HTPC

    Published: Monday, January 7, 2002 - Modding Recycled Case Mod Project

    This is a case mod built of leftover parts. During the construction of the Playtime mod we needed some extra parts to finish the case. This is what happened to the unused pieces.

  • The playtime case mod
