He's got a sweet endorsement deal from newegg and has more fun that nearly all of us...

The modifications are great, but the way he films it and sets it to music is what makes these videos great imho.

I've been a MacFag for a few year now and I miss this heavy modificiation stuff from the PC world, and to be honest I am having a hard time even comprehending all the massive advancements in pc architecture: i5, i7, dual core, quad core, Physics engines, liquid cooling, Win 7, over clocking per RAM channel, and DX 11 for example. I wish I had some extra funds so I could build a massive gaming dedicated rig. (with LED's of course!)

Check out this upgrade to his multi-monitor setup/desk thing:

Beautiful cinematography on this one as well. Using a Development Xbox shell, he built an absolute beast of an triple boot, Unbunto, Win 7 and OSX machine.
To film it he built a fantastic motion controlled dolly/rail system to capture the time-lapse shots using a computer controlled telescopic motor.

If you enjoy these videos as much as I do be sure to check out his whole channel, they will make for an enjoyable, morning, afternoon, evening etc.

Very likable fellow and some great mods. I honestly think he probably gets ALL the geek girls in his area!

Cool, so does he like work for Geek Squad?

[j/k]

I agree with you Curt, he looks like he's having a blast. Does he only make videos for NewEgg, or does he do other stuff?

That X-box mod video was really well filmed considering it's just that one guy --I liked the final little reference to the Apple style/song

Those videos are sweet, i am not into mods for looks but that stuff is amazing. I mostly enjoy benchmarking, and extreme cooling projects with budget cpu's. But this has giving me motivation to put my amd BE 965 together after a while sitting untouched.
