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
Gamers Own Instant Messenger
February 10, 2007
This is an instant messenger, that works kind of like XFire. However, this one is open source, and you can use it to talk to people on ICQ, AIM, yahoo, and even XFire itself.
It works on Windows, Mac, and even on Linux!
I haven’t had anybody to talk to on it, so if you grab this, send me a message, I am iRRVi.
Grab it
Here is a screen shot of it in action
