Modder DHRECK has just finished his first Nintedno Wii controller modifications, an original Wiimote and Nunchuk made with three kinds of 100% natural hemp string.

In stark contrast with the original Wii-mote set, what was once sleek, cold, white and hard plastic has now become a slightly fuzzy, natural, warm and textured concoction. No more bland, branded and boring but mottled, flawfull, rough and a tad sweat absorbing.

The Hemp-Mote is absolutely playable, all buttons, accelerometers and the infrared camera accounted for. Unfortunately its exterior is also quite fragile and prone to degeneration, being in the raw state that it is.

Head over to dhreck.com for more photos and info about the Hemp-Mote.

Do you remember the PC Cases for Drummers? The same company, Spotswood Custom Computers, Inc., today introduced the L-24, an enthusiast-oriented PC case.

The twenty four-inch diameter by eighteen-inch deep case is large enough to hold three triple-fan water-cooling radiators, extra long graphics cards, a 1600W (or larger) power supply, two 5.25-inch CD/DVD drives and fifteen 3.5-inch hard drives, perfect for modders, overclockers, and water-cooling enthusiasts. Its large internal volume and unique round shape allows optimal placement of water-cooling radiators along the periphery of the case, out of the way of other PC components, while also providing ample room for pumps, reservoirs and tubing.

The maple veneer plywood construction reduces noise, is strong, yet lightweight, and coupled with up to twelve cooling fans, provides maximum cooling efficiency. There is a wide variety of stain colors to choose from (protected by a hard fingerprint-hiding matte finish), along with multiple hardware options to customize the look of the case. All fasteners are chrome plated or polished stainless steel. The reset and power switches are high-quality, stainless steel, illuminated, and vandal-resistant. The acrylic (or aluminum) motherboard tray and 10mil plastic side panels are completely removable. The USB 2.0, FireWire and audio I/O ports are mounted in the front of the case.

Here’s a video demonstration of their Spotswood L-18 model:
