Changing out the fans in your case mod is a simple pimp but makes all the difference. LED lit fans are available in a wide array of colours, plug in easily and will light up your case, nay, your life.

For those times when you want to take your PC out to the night club (chicks dig it, trust us), a UV light pimp is what you need. Lucas continues his Green Lantern case mod project with a Green Lantern logo that black light reveals. He also builds a DIY black light so you can see the magic when you're at home too.

Lucas busts out the spray paint, masking tape and stencils and sets to work pimping out the exterior of his erstwhile boring PC. After few coats of paint, some carefully placed stencils and a whole lot of time, he breaks out a new, stylized Green Lantern PC paint job.

Whether you've got 100 or 100,000 Twitter followers, the standard Twitter background and aesthetic just won't cut it. Lucas shows

how to customize your Twitter page

with a unique background, custom text colors, fonts and much more. There's no excuse for having a lame, default Twitter background.

Forget the registry hacking and command line pimping. Lucas finds the lazy man's way to hack your Windows login screen. This handy app lets you change every element of your Windows login screen with a simple click through interface. Change your login screen wallpaper no matter the size of the file or the resolution of the image file.

Pop the top on your Xbox 360 to reveal its innards and replace its drab case with a pimped one. Sure, you'll void your warranty but if you think that's a small price to pay for a pimped out rig, this is the show for you. Lucas runs through all the steps of cracking the case on your Xbox 360 to add a brand new case.

Lucas turns his attention away from software mods for his laptop and focuses on the hardware. This week he rolls his sleeves up, cracks the case on his trusty

MacBook

and, with the help of some Torx screwdrivers, some sandpaper, a little elbow grease and ingenuity, comes out with the coolest hardware mod for the

MacBook's Apple Logo

yet.

Take a deep breath, get in touch with your qi and focus on getting your Windows 7 icons centered in the taskbar. Can't do it, right? Not to worry. Lucas Cochran has a no-software-required tweak to move your icons from left-justified to centered. Or, slightly off-center even, if your attempts to harness your qi in the first part of this exercise failed.

Turn your humdrum daily computing into an Etch-a-Sketch-esque work of art that Mom will be proud to put up on the fridge. That'll make up for the years of disappointment and all the grey hairs now gracing her head. And when are you going to give her grandchildren already?

Windows 7 brings over some of the Aero features and glassy effects of its predecessor Windows Vista. This time, they actually work though and chances are good you now have a computer that doesn't choke under the extra load. Lucas tweaks the glass effects in Windows 7 to enable full window transparency to his Explorer windows.
