Optimus Maximus keyboard
May 23, 2007
The Optimus Maximus keyboard (pre-order $1,565) is almost the most expensive keyboard. Every key on this keyboard has a small OLED screen (48px x 48px), which can be customized to indicate various shortcuts for different programs or games. This keyboard is very useful, but I doubt any one can justify paying that much for a keyboard.

1.2 Kilowatts of Pure Power
February 15, 2007
Thanks to Thermaltake’s newest power supply we are now able to draw 1,200 watts from a single power supply! That type of power seems like it would be a complete overkill in almost any situation but it seems that with Massive RAID arrays and SLI 8800 GTX setups floating around these days it actually seems as if its almost needed in this day and age. Don’t worry though if you can afford to have one of theses bad boys powering up your setup you wont need to worry too much about the huge extra expense it will cost to run this thing all day long in your home office

eMac Rumor, Intel powers Mac’s lower end computers
May 27, 2006

Although not much information is available for the new Mac but what seems to be certain will be the switch to a LCD monitor and hopefully will be powered be a Intel dual core processor as well. The buzz surrounding the new Mac seems to be the idea of introducing it in time for the Fall 2006 school year. Given a price that should center around $799-$999 it seems like the new eMac might be fairly popular with students

May 22, 2006
For all you gamers out there Bit-tech.net has posted an amazing review on the possibility of Core Duo chips inside desktops and come up with some pretty interesting results
“What’s faster than an AMD Athlon FX-60? Well, an Intel Core Duo overclocked on a fantastic AOpen board based on the 975X chipset. We get to grips with Intel’s portable processing powerhouse in a desktop board and contemplate – is this a sign of things to come?”
