    Ben Heck, known for his many mods (including the recent PS3 laptop mod), has outdone himself by creating an Apple IIGS laptop. He started with an original Apple IIGS motherboard and added a custom acrylic keyboard, 15" color screen, and a CompactFlash-based hard disk. Most notably, a glowing blue Apple II logo was added. You can see the up close pictures on his website. He also has a video of the mod that will not disappoint. [via Engadget]
