Lego computer case houses three computers

Lego blocks are some of the most versatile toys ever invented. From making impressive models like the Super Star Destroyer to creating fully functioning turntables, these building blocks from Denmark seem to be usable in almost every way imaginable. While this isn't the first Lego PC case mod we've seen, this is one of the most impressive. Created by Mike Schropp, this massive Lego PC case made out of 2,000 black Lego bricks houses a 12-core PC. It is made up of three CPUs, coolers, motherboards, SSDs, DDR3 memory and eight fans that are plugged into one modified power supply to keep it juiced.

Microsoft takes Marketplace to 19 more countries

Microsoft opened the gates to its application store last year when it launched Windows Phone 7 but so far it has been available only in handful of countries. Those outside these countries had to fake their location, which meant they could only download free apps from the Marketplace. Now, however, the list of supported countries has been expanded with 19 new names added to the mix, taking the grand total to 35. If you are in any of the following countries, you can now download apps officially from the Marketplace:

These are the countries where you can download your apps from.

Ultra slim Swiss Army USB tool has no knife

Earlier this year, Victorinox, makers of the original ‘Swiss Army Knife' announced their line of Swiss Army USB drives. Unfortunately you won't be opening any bottles or slicing through any packaging with these, since there are no blades or other miscellaneous tools attached. Coming in a Slim and Slim Duo with sizes ranging from 4GB to 64GB, the Victorinox Swiss Army USB drive is finally shipping and can be purchased with a price range of $39.99 to $249.99 at the Swiss Knife Shop. Although these drives aren't much smaller than traditional flash drives, they are as resilient as the rest of Victorinox's Swiss Army products.

The Samsung Wave 578 is the first Bada phone to have support for NFC. We first heard about it in April, and back then the story was that it would hit the streets in June.

If you're in Singapore, tomorrow you'll be able to pick up a Wave 578 for S$338. The Wave 578 runs Bada 1.1 and comes with a 3.2-inch WQVGA touchscreen, a 455 MHz processor, quad-band GSM and dual-band 3G support, a 3.2 MP camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a microSD card slot.

Here's some great news for those of you who are Sprint customers (or don't mind switching), like smartphones, the environment, and the color pink. This Sunday Sprint will release a device that ticks all of those boxes. And while the phone itself isn't new, the color version will be. So brace yourselves, for the Samsung Replenish will be available in ‘Raspberry Pink' starting on July 24. The Samsung Replenish, if you remember, is partially built with recycled plastics and has recyclable packaging (don't all phones?).

BoBook's Wacom-Powered eReader is Big in Europe

Until you turn it on, the BeBook eReader is pretty good looking. Quick. Name me five e-readers without asking Google. Tricky, right? After the big names — Kindle, Nook and Sony — you might remember Kobo, but then you'll be left scouring your memory. That's not to say there aren't any other e-readers. It's just that in the U.S the market is already dominated by these big brands.

Over in Europe it's a different story. On a recent trip to London, I saw a lot of Kindles, but the U.K has its own Kindle store on Amazon. Back in Spain, I see no-name readers and Sony readers, and not much else.
