The pic above shows Carl E. Walz playing a Yamaha PSR282 keyboard on the International Space Station. You can buy a PSR282 for about £45 on eBay, but getting a 11½lb keyboard into space would have cost NASA around $115,000.
The picture comes from NASA's Space Station Notes about playing music in space:
A lot of astronauts play instruments. There's even an astronaut rock-and-roll band. And a surprising variety of musical instruments have found their way into space: in addition to the keyboard, there's been a flute, a guitar, a saxophone, and an Australian aboriginal wind instrument known as a didgeridoo.
That's a pretty inspiring collection! I just finished a case mod which was inspired by simple practicality, but I think it looks cool nevertheless. I detailed it on my VOXIGO blog.
You should add my PC mod up there, the Sega EXODUS. Core 2 E8500, with an nvidia 9800 GT, 4gb DDR2 ram, and some wicked mod parts, all built into a Sega Genesis+CD Zotac featured it in their 2nd blog posting. Also a video on youtube.
The Montreal International Game Summit is trying to organize a case modding EXPO/CONTEST for it's 2010 edition on Novembre 8 and 9th. I'd like to hear from your readers if it's a good idea . Thank's
