Recycling can be more than just melting down a broken Emco chair to make an Alessi teapot. Sometimes all you need to do is throw a little ribbon and some love on an old piece in order to make it better than new again. We’ve covered the new jewelry from old computing pieces offered by FractalSpin more than once, and geek fashion is always going to be too cool for school.

This High Voltage Messenger Bag from FractalSpin is a hot little way to cart around all your little battery vampires. It may have started out as the standard super durable olive drab military issued bag, but they’ve rejuvenated their stock with a thorough cleaning and a snappy warning of just how dangerously electrifying a personality can be. The interior is chock full of pockets, and the old mechanical clips are perfectly repurposed as iPod and cell phone holders. There’s even an easy access chain on the side to keep your keys close at hand.

Thanks to those crazy kids at Gadget Madness for reminding me to write this up.
