Hitachi is looking to take advantage of the education market, so the company has developed some new electronic blackboards. New and improved versions of the transformed PX-DUO-50 electronic blackboards will be resurrected in each of the elementary and junior high schools in Japan. Costing about ¥700,000, the electronic blackboards have a PC built-in and use a detection device consisting of two infrared cameras, with the lens having a field angle of 170°.

Measuring 50-inches, the blackboards support all of the character input and character recognition that teachers need and come with a terrestrial digital TV tuner.

Packard Bell has rolled out its updated higher-end “ixtreme” desktop, which gets a spec boost and a sexier look. The sleek design is nice for Packard Bell, but the specs are even sexier. They include your choice of Core i7, Core 2 Quad, or AMD Phenom II X4 processors, up to 12GB of DDR3 memory, a max 3TB of storage space, your choice of NVIDIA graphics options (including the 1GB GeForce GTS 250), an optional Blu-ray combo drive, and ten USB ports.

Nothing on a release here in the states, but those in the UK will be able to get one this month starting at £599.

A while beck we mentioned that Viewsonic had announced its first all-in-one PC called the VPC100. All-in-one PCs are nice devices that offer all the parts that you need for a computer inside the LCD. The machines are like netbooks on the inside for the most part.

At the time, the PC was announced we didn’t have a ship date from Viewsonic to share. Viewsonic has now announced that the VPC100 is shipping for $599. In case you missed the first post about the product, the VPC100 runs an Intel Atom 1.64GHz CPU, Windows XP home and has an 18.5-inch LCD.

The desktop computer was once the most common computer that consumers purchased. Today prices on notebooks and netbooks have came down so much that you can buy a notebook for the same price or even less than your average desktop. Still there are some who prefer a desktop to a notebook and for that group Gateway has unveiled new systems.

Gateway has introduces two new desktop lines including the small form factor SX series and the mini-tower DX series. The SX desktops start at $499.99 and for that price you get some nice hardware. The rig runs an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and a 640GB HDD.

Stealth’s newest small form factor PC, the WPC-500F has specs not all that different from your typical netbook, but the most interesting feature is the ability to have water poured on them like in Flashdance. You can order the waterproof / water resistant machine right now.

Prices start at $1,995 and they are shipping in early July. Some specs include a 1.6GHz Intel Atom 330, integrated graphics, 2GB RAM, 80GB HDD with options for SSD, no optical bay, no WiFi, and Windows XP.

The Go Computer takes computing and makes it simple and easy-on-the-eye. It’s designed for the older generation. You know, for when Grandma wants to get online. It shouldn’t be too hard for her to use with the large typeface keyboard with color coded keys, a trackball and a simple all-in-one architecture.

Just add power and a broadband connection. Granny will be chatting it up on the embroidery forums in no time. The actual brains of this computer is a desktop EeeBox PC attached to the back of the monitor.

Normally, we buy a computer, use it for maybe two years, sometimes less, and it’s headed for the landfill. A more conscious user might just recycle the parts and use them for something else. An even better idea is this new system that never gets obsolete and so never requires throwing away.

This Jocko Chan designed computer for Dell provides an easy update of better components. Called LOOP, the system is ordered online and delivered directly to your home. All upgrades are available to rent for a limited period of time with an additional charge. The company’s employees would take care of all repair and enhancements. The components which are working in good condition are re-used whereas all other components are taken back for recycling.

This casemod combines the shell of an old SNES console with the brains and guts of a modern PC. Anytime we see a CD sticking out of an SNES cartridge, we can’t help but smile. Modders quangDX and DuPPs took an old Super Nintendo and merged it with an Acer Aspire One A150 laptop. They call their new creation the aaSNES1.

And yes, they managed to mount a slot-loading DVDRW drive inside of the Super Mario World cartridge! But it wasn’t that simple. They didn’t have enough room inside the UK model SNES cartridge, but managed to cut things apart enough to get the drive to work. The eject button even ejects the DVD.

Western Digital now has an upgrade to its 2TB My Book Studio Edition II. They’ve doubled the storage space and it also sports a new exterior design. In its RAID 0 configuration, you’ll find a couple of drive bays available to hold two 2TB hard drives for a total of 4TB of storage space.

It’s compatible with both PC and Mac platforms and the Western Digital 4TB My Book Studio Edition II has a variety of connectivity options including eSATA, FireWire 800, FireWire 400 and USB 2.0. The external capacity gauge will give you important information with just a quick glance.

Averatec just announced a gigantic all-in-one PC for $999. It’s a sweet deal. The D1200 series features a 25.5-inch LCD monitor with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5GHz CPU, 320GB hard drive, and 4GB of RAM. You also get a built-in ATSC/NTSC TV tuner for 1080p video and TV playback, 8X super-multi DVD burner, 2-megapixel webcam, 802.11N wireless, and gigabit Ethernet.

The Epson Endeavor NP11-V is an energy efficient nettop that only requires 40Watts of power. Sure, it looks like the Wii turned into a PC, but we’re assuming that you like your devices in stark raving white so bright that it burns your iris. How about a dash of color Epson?

This mini computer is powered by an Intel Atom 230 CPU with a standard SIS672 or SIS968 chipset, 1GB RAM and a 160GB HDD. If you love bland design, you can buy the Endeavor NP11-V for about 195 Euro or $272.

One thing that most gaming PCs have in common is that they pack the highest performance parts they can get their hands on into a rig that sucks down power like a Hummer slurps fuel. With more people looking to go green, I guess it was inevitable that a green gaming rig was launched.

Maingear has announced the Pulse gaming PC, which it claims to be the world’s greenest gaming PC. The rig is based on the NVIDIA Ion platform and it is also the world’s first upgradable Ion PC. The small form factor machine can be upgraded from Ion graphics to an NVIDIA 9800 ECO video card that needs 40% less power than a typical 9800 GT requires.

When it comes to gaming desktop PCs they tend to be packed with the latest hardware and massive price tags. PC gamers looking for a high-end rig have some nice machines to choose from, assuming the economy has left them any extra scratch.

For those who have the money, Maingear has announced a new gaming PC called the ePhex X58 Elite. The machine draws part of its name from the Asus X58 mainboard that allows the use of multiple video cards from NVIDIA and ATI.
