Many set top boxes are boring, but that’s not the case here. Free, an ISP in France, has introduced the Freebox v6 Revolution, a set-top box designed by Philippe Starck. The device offers a 250GB hard drive and an internal 802.11n Wi-Fi module, Blu-ray drive, web browser, Intel’s Atom CE4100 media processor and also a motion-sensing remote.

So you will get live/streaming TV options, Internet, gaming and even at-home calling. What can’t it do? They also throw in a joystick and a pair of powerline adapters. The device is already available for pre-order and will cost you between EUR59.99 ($80) to EUR119.99 ($161). Not bad considering all it does.

Seagate is thinking about the environment with their latest Barracuda Green hard drive. It’s the industry’s highest performance eco-friendly 3.5-inch desktop drive and it consumes very little juice, making it ideal for low-power personal computers, multi-drive home networking systems and external storage.

The new Barracuda Green will merge the industry’s highest spin speed (5900 RPM) with Seagate’s SmartAlign technology and this results in best-in-class performance. The Barracuda Green hard drive will run quietly, lowering system costs associated with fans and power supply devices that are often required for power-hungry systems. Over 70% of the materials used to build the drive can even be recycled.

Seagate has introduced their new Server-specific enterprise hard drive. The 2.5-inch hard drive will have a total capacity of 1TB. It’s dubbed the Constellation.2 and it can be used by small to medium businesses as well as large enterprises. It can be used in directed attached storage (DAS), network attached storage (NAS) and storage area network (SAN) environments.

It should give IT managers more options to meet capacity requirements. The Constellation.2 is available in 250GB, 500GB and 1TB capacities and promises 6-GB/s SATA or 6GB/s serial-attached SCSI interface options.

It’s been confirmed that the Acer Iconia dual-screen notebook will be available in Spain on January 28th. As you might have guessed it won’t be cheap. It will be priced at EUR1,499 (or $1,987).

When it arrives in the states it might be priced differently, but it shouldn’t be too far from that mark. The following specs should be well worth it: You get Two 14-inch multi-touch LCDs, Intel Core i5 processor, Up to 4GB RAM, Up to 750GB hard drive, Optional 3G module, USB 3.0 port, HDMI and VGA output, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi b/g/n.

Lenovo has a new IdeaCentre desktop targeted at gamers and other high-end users.

A switch will let users go from a ‘green’ mode for keeping the system quiet, to a regular mode (blue) and full speed mode (red).

The design will use a metallic mid-tower case with side vents. The system will also have extra performance options that can bring it up to 16GB of RAM from the factory and put two hard drives in a RAID 0 stripe for faster load times. As much as 4TB of disk space will be an option.

The Level Twelve casemod from Jeffrey Stephenson is pretty decent looking if you like wood. The box is constructed from Teak and Birds Eye Maple and holds a 2TB hard drive, an optical drive and four front mounted USB ports.

Other specs of this mod include an i7-processor, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB Crucial C300 SSD and a Lenovo H320 case. Jeff makes computer cases look damn good. If we had computers in the 1950′s they would look like this.

We’ve seen magazine companies bundle content with hard drive purchases in the past. Remember the National Geographic external hard drive? Well now we have a bundle that’s a little more adult oriented.

The Playboy $300 250GB hard drive contains every single issue of the magazine dating back to 1953. That’s a lot of boobs and airbrushing for sure. $300 is expensive for a hard drive, sure, but you’re really paying for the boobs.
