flip 4 large Change your iPhone with power from the sun

Looking to go green with your iPhone…or at least be able to get power when there isn’t an outlet around? This solar powered iPhone case from SolarArcadia can re-charge a completely empty iPhone battery in three hours using the power from the sun (or course the case will have to set in the sun for 12 hours beforehand to make that magic happen). While not exactly the most useful for normal everyday use it could be a pretty solid option for backpackers and the like who are away from power for a period of time. [via TUAW]

You may remember that sweet Apple Tribook we showed you last week. While that laptop was just a concept, this ThinkPad by IBM is actually a reality. The IBM ThinkPad W700 has one main 17-inch screen AND an additional foldable 10.6-inch secondary display. In addition to the pretty awesome screen set-up the laptop has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, NVIDIA Quadro Express graphics, 4GB of DIMM memory, integrated color calibration, and integrated camera, Dual Link DVI, and dual RAID HDD high-speed storage with a 250GB max.

chiacase3 CaseCrave: Olympic Mastermind Edition

Welcome to CaseCrave, where we make your computer tower feel inadequate. For our inaugural run, we honor Nick Falzone’s Chiaroscuro, a cube-shaped casemod inspired by the Beijing Digital building, which served as the technical center for this year’s Olympics. As it turns out, a fellow modder and friend of Falzone’s named Gert Swolfs actually drew the renderings for the building, and in turn agreed to render it anew in case form. The Chiaroscuro is constructed of wood, lined with aluminum and lit with UV blue acrylic. The casing underneath the main cube holds a full-sized video card. [Bit-Tech via Gizmodo]
