Synopsis

What's lemon yellow with a red headlight and a porthole window that allows users to peer at its innards? Could be your computer if you get this guide to the art and science of "modding" from TechTV personality (and modding maniac!) Yoshi Deherrera. In these pages, Yoshi introduces you to the wild and wacky world of computer and device customization--or modding (if you hadn't already figured it out). Using modding projects like those he displays on The Screen Savers TV show, Yoshi shows you all kinds of ways to dress up that beast on your desktop--from adding neon lights to creating the ultimate gaming machine. You'll find instructions for approximately 15 modding projects--from beginning (painting a cell phone) to advanced (cutting windows in computer cases and more). And if you need inspiration, you'll love the showcase section highlighting Yoshi's favorite mods from around the Web. Clear graphics, easy-to-follow instructions, and expert tips round out the package.
