This strange looking piece of furniture is proclaimed by The Sun the “million pounds of comfort”. But looking at the design specs and finding out that it’s made out of aluminum and fiberglass, the word comfortable does not enter my head. Ever if it’s “fluid aluminum form”design might be pretty interesting, might be shiny , but from my opinion can’t be that comfortable enough to be worth the price tag : between $1.6 million and $2.4 million. This is the estimated price it will be sold at an auction that will be held next week at Christie’s in London.

In an era where iPod’s and all kind of mp3 players come out like mushrooms after a rain, this strange combo of a fridge and a CD Player makes me wonder : ” What were de designers thinking ?? “. It may come in handy , the fridge part that is, but the audio ought to be left behind on the production line. I like it’s design though , a little bit futuristic for a cool box , but I think it might come in handy sometimes. Reminds me of my days as a student when I could have been a little more cool if I had that.

Adrian Drake from [ Brick Frenzy ] has revealed something unique : a Decepticon created from LEGOs thats no quite a transformer. His creation is a little over 2-feet tall, it is called Blackout and is created from the original toy, a MH-53 Pave Low helicopter. The problem with it trying to conquer the Earth might be the fact that it’s transformation to a full helicopter is a little bit tricky because, being made out of LEGO’s really hinders his ability to do so in a timely manner. It’s a cool thing to have around but doesn’t fit in the Decepticon World. Other than that it’s something to have for someone that’s into transformers collectibles.

Mod up your PS3 with this awesome looking protective mask : a demon like casing constructed from black glossy plastic in the classic PS3 casing style. If you had reason to stay away from your console this will add to it, since this case packs up a horrifying experience with it. The case slips on and off but only protects the outermost surface. You can but it on eBay at a price around 15$ but I say it’s forth giving your console that all new Gothic look.

Iomega announced their new network-attached storage devices that are priced close to their USB-only siblings. There are two models available : a 320GB drive at a price of $149 and the 500GB model going for $199. They also announced a 360GB version that will become available starting next month for $149 . These may not be the very best deals out there, but they’re definitely going to enter the competition.
They’re specs could be a little bit more powerful but for the home user they will do the job :
- 7200 RPM SATA-II hard drives with 8MB cache.
- built-in Ethernet is 10/100, unfortunately not gigabit,
- each drive also has a USB 2.0 port for local connections.
My concern is how well they perform in the home of a total a-technical user. Hopefully Iomega has prepared a nice getting-started software or at least the tech-support staff is well prepared for the job.
