Dutch design studio Denieuwegeneratie converted a vintage Jaguar into a tall bookshelf for the interior of their newly-built Dutch Mountain underground villa.

The trunk even serves as a lower cabinet.

This is a very old, but very clever casemod where the modder turned his microwave into a computer. The LCD screen is of course built into the window and it looks great with that screensaver that shows a plate of food going round and round. All of the buttons on the microwave have been rewired to control the computer.

Accessories include a slot DVD drive in the top of the microwave, and the power supply, cable connectors and vents have been installed in the back.
