Here's another thing from the past, but I still haven't really seen it linked anywhere yet. Keys Factory is a peripheral maker for handhelds - they also do cases and stylii and whatnot. Recently, they had an internal staff contest for a DS 'armor' case mod, which protects the (original) DS via lock-on parts (meaning it's completely external, and doesn't actually harm your system), and turns it into some kind of horribly huge beast.

This is the final purchaseable result of that contest (only 980 yen!), but check out the other entries while you're at it. There's some odd stuff in there, such as this space mecha, this ship thing, and the totally bizarre springs and screws mod, called 'metalmetal'. Keys Factory might be the next Periborg! But probably not. Play Asia used to carry, it, but now they're sold out. Whoops.

ollie edit: That's the Zeta Plus from Gundam Sentinel in the picture shown, god knows why that was ever chosen though.
