Acer has a new line of business desktops that would have been a nice replacement to that $200 eMachine I had at my old job. Acer has updated its Veriton line of business desktops with the M265, M421G, and M670G.

The Lucky Voice Karaoke Party Box plugs into your computer and turns it into a full featured Karaoke machine. Let the party begin. It’s been far too long since your neighbors banged on your wall and it’s been at least six months since the cops showed up to find you in a feather boa singing “Girls Just Want To Have Fun”.
Typically, when I talk about a new product from Shuttle it’s a small, bare bones machine that you need to add your own CPU and other parts to before you can use it. Shuttle also makes a line of small computers that are complete and ready to use out of the box.

Look, I know you older guys and doctors are crazy about your golf, but damn. That’s no excuse to go
We’ve all been there. You’re at work surfing some NSFW sites. You know it’s against the rules, but they’re not the boss of you. As long as you don’t get caught it’s all good. Well my pervy friends, the Rear View Computer Mirror will give you an edge. It’s a convex mirror with a wide enough angle to catch anyone who might be sneaking up on you.
This is bound to be the preferred mouse of housewives and maids everywhere. Shunning conventional computer mouse design, Oliver Rosito’s Zero Mouse concept “combines state of the art design with lightweight materials.”

Gaming computers tend to be very expensive systems that pack all sorts of the latest technology into a machine designed to allow gamers to play games.

The system includes glasses and requires a special monitor to operate but provides slick and realistic 3D effects.
In many places a normal computer simply can’t survive. Places like a construction site or in wet or humid environments. Trimble has a line of rugged computers though that are designed for outdoors use in a work environment where the normal laptop couldn’t survive.
There are case mods, then there are case mods. This 8 foot tall monstrosity looks like it was actually part of Frankenstein’s lab. Looks like the only thing missing is the lightning. It was created by D. Mattocks, who must have shouted “It’s alive” during completion. This thing is just bursting with Steampunk goodness.
We’ve seen some pretty impressive Lego creations. Whether it’s the
Corsair has been one of the top and most popular memory makers in the PC world for a long time. Some of the highest of high-end gaming PC makers use Corsair RAM in their machines.
