At first glance, this hardware component might look like a giant radiator, but it’s actually Thermalright’s HSC-101 Personal computer case. Reportedly, “one side of the case is for the processor while the other side is for the graphics card and other components.” No word yet on pricing or availability.

Thermalright also showed off another case with six massive fans in the front and back. This is accomplished by moving the motherboard a few inches away from the back.

The Spacewarp 5000 from ThinkGeek is a DIY “perpetual motion steel ball roller coaster [that] recreates the classic 80’s toy.” Video after the break. Click here for one more picture.

You do need to cut the track to the proper length for each section with scissors and measurements are only provided in metric. We do warn you however that you will need some time to assemble your Spacewarp 5000 and get each track segment correct so the balls stay on the track properly.

Ronn Motors’ The Scorpion is claimed to be the “first commercial automobile with a system built-in that produces hydrogen on demand.” During normal operation, hydrogen would be mixed with petrol for improved gas mileage. No word yet on availability. Click here for first picture in gallery.
