Antec’s Skeleton is a fantastically futuristic looking PC case that claims to be the world’s first open air case.
With a unique design that allows for unprecedented airflow, a front 92mm fan, and a top three-speed 250mm fan with multicolor LED customization, the Skeleton goes utterly unmatched in stylish cooling. Factor in the layered component trays for top-notch convenience, as well as the rackmount quality side rails, and you have a case truly without equal.
Though it definitely won’t blend in under your desk, this frag factory isn’t designed to, and if you’re the type of person that builds and customizes your machine so that you can get props and respect at the local LAN parties, then this might be just what you were looking for to dominate the competition.

If you were among the more than eight million people that helped Firefox set a new world record on Download Day 2008, then it’s time to start tweaking and tuning Firefox 3 to match your needs.
The first stop on your customization journey should definitely be at Lifehacker’s Power User’s Guide to Firefox 3, which digs a little deeper into the program and uncovers shortcuts, tweaks, and even Easter Eggs in the Mozilla monster.
Are you ready?

For many, the Mac has become their alarm clock of choice, as it can provide the extra customization that your ZZZZ’s need.
To help you decide which of the popular alarm clock programs to pick, The Unofficial Apple Weblog has put together a Tabulator showdown between Alarm Clock, Alarm Clock Pro, Awaken, and Aurora to see which is the winner.
There’s not clear cut winner, so it’s up to you to decide, but whatever you go with, chances are you’ll sleep easier knowing that you’ll wake better as well.

Phil Lu’s QuickOrder is an “iPhone/iPod Touch application that allows the users to purchase their favorite Starbucks drink without waiting in line”. It’s also a great example of what will be possible when the entire world lives in your cell phone.
Instead of actually interacting with a real live person, you simply point and click in your order, complete with customization and a kind little thank you area to remind your barista that someone actually cares about what they’re doing.
There is even a semacode system in place to verify your order.
Will this be the future of customer service? Considering the fact that this goes one step further towards a world where we cease to interact directly (and despite how beautiful and simplistic this looks), I sure hope not.

If you’re already using a Windows Mobile phone, and the new iPhone has you salivating for more, hold yourself over with a interface facelift. A user of the XDA Developers forum created and posted the customization package, and it looks pretty good considering the short amount of time he’s had to work on it. Though it’s never going to be good enough to replace the real thing, it’ll have to do until Apple gifts the world its latest groundbreaker, so hack away.

Apple gives you black and white, and ColorWare will give you the rainbow, but only iPodMods can give you clear. Their new iVue Crystal Clear Panels are hard, resilient, and scratch-resistant cases, allowing you to “see the inner workings of your musical companion” in either 5th Generation Video, 1st Generation Nano, or 4th Generation iPod form. The future of iPod customization is clear.

This is one customization trend that I hope never catches on. Pierce Your Ride offers, you guessed it, “piercings for your car, truck, motorcycle, boat, snowboard, ATV, and more”. I’m all for customizing your ride and all, but giving it a giant piercing? Definitely not my style. Supposedly, theses allow you to “rebel against conformity”, but I think anyone using one is just rebelling against taste. Be your own judge though, I may be wrong on this one (though I’m probably not), and these may be the next best thing since sliced bread (though they probably won’t).
