HOW TO - Logging into Windows XP using RFID
Amal writes - "With RFID being impervious to dust and dirt, and being totally contactless, it's a perfect candidate for desktop authentication. In this feature, you're going to build a covert RFID enabled USB keyboard that keeps its enhanced functionality a secret from the general public. You'll be using open source software to enable the login process on your Windows based computer." - Link.

iMac MAME cabinet
Calhoun writes - "After a run of mini-upright cabinets, I decided to once again try out a cocktail (or sit-down) style cabinet. Based on the flat-panel iMac, this machine too is LCD-based. For space concerns, that is fortunate. I think, like Apple, I'm done with large, heavy CRT's. " [via] - Link.

Weird keyboards
Here are 10 really interesting (and weird) keyboards, their top pick is my favorite - "The keyboard is hidden inside a decorative, washable tablecloth. The electronic is woven into a fabric, which finds itself between layers of water resistant felt as sandwich material. The soft felt surface makes it a pleasure for fingers to tip - a cosy keyboard."

HOW TO - Make a LED fan switch
Cape and Ray write - "LED fans are an easy way to add color to your rig, but mine are missing something crucial, a light switch. I've got four 120mm blue light up fans and they move some serious air. Their LEDs are pretty bright and have no problem illuminating my room a fair amount. Putting a small light switch on the LED's lets me turn the lights off so I can sleep and keep the fans running for my hard drives. " - Link.

Ford Festiva radiator water cools PC!
Tiny Little Life writes - "Since case mods are popping up on Make, I thought I'd mention mine. I put together a water-cooled PC using a radiator from a Ford Festiva, and took pictures of the process. A Ford Festiva is probably the only car with a small enough radiator to use for this sort of thing." - Link.

Alphacool watercooling starter kit
Fred Hunt from Bit-tech.net has a great review of the Alphacool watercooling starter kit - "Take a PC full of expensive, complicated, electricity-driven parts, add about half a litre of water in aquarium tubing and plug it into the mains electricity supply. Up until a few years ago many would have laughed at such thoughtless bravado, quoting the school-taught fear of lethal electrocution. Nowadays most enthusiasts are familiar with the concept of watercooling, but the sheer complexity of the systems and their installation can be mind-boggling to say the least." - Link.

Behold The Dark Blade
Norwood writes - "Dark Blade custom computer case by Gianluca Tait (Trento Italy). Gizmodo originally noticed it back when it was just the cooling unit - that's less than half the structure that it ultimately became. This was a multi-year build with work suspended after finishing the liquid cooling unit, and then resumed to the delight of all. Some of the more salient features: 1) Separate but nicely-coordinated liquid cooling unit beneath the main cpu "box." 2) Almost everything is custom-built, including the DVD recorder pushbuttons. 3) CNC. - Gianluca Tait's personal web site" - Link.

HOW TO - Terabyte file server for $500
Fred Langa made a Terabyte server for about $500! - "A short while ago, I received a challenge from a reader who didn't believe me when I said in print that it was possible to put together a brand-new terabyte (1,000 Gbytes) file server for around $500. Well, you can, and I did. The example system I put together now resides on the far side of my office, offering up a thousand gigabytes--that's a lot of disk space!--as network storage on my office LAN." - Link.

NES Emulator for Xbox 360 via MCE
Xexter in the Maxconsole forums figured out how to run a NES emulator on an Xbox 360 using a Media Center, no sound - but the games run at full speed, nice! - "Found a way to add a menu for the roms list so you will have to edit the nes.htm and change to whatever Nes rom you want to play. I've included a Public Domain rom for testing but have verified Zelda1-2, Excitebike, and TecmoBowl and all worked." [via] - Forums & Link.

This looks like a lot of fun! - " Just plug any digital instrument - a MIDI-enabled keyboard, a MIDI-enabled guitar or MIDI-enabled bass, MIDI-enabled drums, or a MIDI-enabled wind-controller -- into your PC or Mac computer, fire up the eJamming Station and we're connecting you over the Internet to a whole world of musicians across town - or across the ocean. In Sync. In Real Time. Or in as close to real time as the laws of physics allow. " [via] - Link.

HOW TO - Build a plexiglass PC case
Bball writes - "Lots of folks lately are interested in PC case mods with plexiglass windows, fancy 5" bay gear, interior LED lighting, and custom fan grills. I think it's great - anything to get away from the blah-PC. I have a number of computers in the house (too many, actually), but I recently spent a weekend building an inexpensive PC with a plexiglass case, and ended up with a nice box. While not as little as my Shuttle SV 25 or Apple Cube, I feel pretty good about this first effort." [via] - Link.

DIY Video recorder
Sal writes - "...I had some big plans in store for the Mini-ITX box. The plans were, roughly, to install a hard drive, move to a more powerful Linux distribution, and add PVR capabilites to the system. Because the computer was already situated in my living room, making it into a personal video recorder was an obvious choice, though doing this on a Mini-ITX Linux system would surely take a bit of finesse."
