Pimp Out Your DSi with Housing Shells

We’ve all heard of replacing the housing or shell of a video game console right? Replacement housing offers a great way to make your console look unique, cool (pimp) and make a fashion statement.

XCM DSi Housing

XCM offers several replacement shells that are aesthetically pleasing. One that stands out from the rest is the XCM Hyber gear lite. Unlike any other, this shell has a overclocking feature (pretty cool hack and mod).

From XCM:

This is a Nintendo DS Lite case replacement that also adds an overclocking feature to speed up games. This will allow you to play games faster and experience a new level of gameplay not previously available. Imagine playing super mario in hyper mode or playing RPGs at almost twice the speed as normal. There will be 3 speed settings including Normal, Medium and Hyper Speed. Also a rapid fire mode will be added as well, giving you more freedom to play the games the way you wish. You can easily switch rapid fire on and off without effecting the overclocking modes.

Now the process of replacing a DSi housing shell? It can be quite simple if you follow disassembly instructions. Like a computer, the components just need to be placed and connected properly to work. Also, keep in mind to get a tri-wing screw driver as Nintendo has implemented these screws to prevent tampering.

There are many colors and designs to choose from solid colors to chrome. More information can be found on the XCM site (click here). You may also find more designs and colors on eBay by searching “DSi Replacement Shell” .

More Websites to Watch TV Online for Free Part 2

So after posting “Watch TV shows Free Online” recently, a reader suggested posting two more very useful sites that allow you to watch your favorite TV shows.

FreeTube

FreeTube allows you to watch TV channels via a flash player interface. It is a good site to watch TV Channels where there is nothing on TV or when you’re bored.

From FreeTube:

FreeTube – a service that lets you watch live Internet TV channels online for free without the need for any special hardware, software or subscription service. We are a completely free alternative to cable or satellite television that lets you watch TV channels and TV shows online using just your browser.

SurfTheChannel

Like blinkx, SurfTheChannel allows you to watch TV shows for free online. There is no country restricted access, and I think SurfTheChannel updates faster than blinkx.

How-To Analyze & Scan Suspicious Downloaded Files

Ever wonder if you have downloaded an infected file by accident? Well today, I am going to show you how to analyze and scan suspicious downloaded files online for free without any software.

Virus Total

VirusTotal can help you scan files you upload to them. The interface is pretty dummy proof so I won’t explain how to use it.

From VirusTotal’s Website:

Virustotal is a service that analyzes suspicious files and facilitates the quick detection of viruses, worms, trojans, and all kinds of malware detected by antivirus engines. More information…

jotti

Jotti is another good alternative to VirusTotal. Apparently Jotti uses a lot of virus scanners to scan the file, so I guess Jotti has a better detection rate.

According to the Jotti website:

Jotti’s malware scan is a free online service that enables you to scan suspicious files with several anti-virus programs.

So when downloading files from websites like Hotfile, MegaUpload, and Rapidshare, you can have some sense of security. By using those file scanning websites, if you think you have an infected file.
