"Newegg has always supported the DIY mindset. A lot of our loyal fans have a strong passion for technology and the latest trends in computers and consumer electronics design. The 2010 Maker Faire is a great opportunity for us to celebrate innovation and creative enterprise and what better way to do this than to have one of our own customers lead the conversation with the community. We are very happy to host Will Urbina at the Newegg Tinker Box and showcase his latest work."

Will Urbina, case modder and DIY enthusiast:
"I am very excited to be the host at the Newegg Tinker Box during Maker Faire this year. I have been a Newegg fan and customer for years.
