Single Tube Nixie Clock
After receiving an IN-8 tube from a friend, [Trax] wanted to find some way to show it off and decided create a piece art that doubles as a clock, it uses a low voltage plug in wall transformer and makes the high voltage needed to run the clock.
Robot Hands created by Crafthouse
These mini mechanical hands from Japan’s Crafthouse allow you to give your friendly robot a full set of digits making it that little bit more human. Unfortunately though each finger is not independently controlled. Check out the video after the jump.

What do you do with your old Nintendo Game Boy when it stops working? modder [_n30_] decided to turn his broken Game Boy into a portable hard drive.
Inside the case there is an 80GB 2.5 inch HDD, from the photos it looks like the Game Boy is still working, the reflective backing has been removed from the screen and replaced by a piece of paper with graphics on it.

MacCores iTab Mini – Apple Tablet Mod
We are still awaiting official news from Apple on the much rumored Apple Tablet, in the meantime here is a cool Apple Tablet mod, the MacCores iTab Mini.
I have to admit from the photos, the MacCores iTab Mini looks very cool, it features a 12.1 SVGA resistive touchscreen display with a resolution of 1400 x 1050 and a 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 duo processor.
The $3,000 Steampunk USB Flash Drive
We absolutely love anything to do with Steampunk here on Geeky Gadgets, and when I spotted this cool handmade Steampunk USB drive I thought it looked very cool until I noticed the price.
Most of the stuff that appears on Etsy seems to be reasonably priced, unfortunately this isn’t one of those items, as you will have to part with $3,000 to get your hands on it.
The Steampunk Phone
We have seen tons of cool Steampunk mods on Geeky Gadgets, like the Steampunk skull mouse and the Steampunk Lightsaber, the latest is a mobile phone, the Steampunk Phone.
