Custom distributed audio specialists ADA (Audio Design Associates) are promising marital bliss with their latest multi-room receiver, the Suite 8200. Supporting eight stereo sources and eight separate output zones, it’s a single chassis pre-amp and class-A/B amplifier, all in a 2U rack-mount box.
With the iPhone launch date coming up quick (here in about four weeks) you’ll need to start looking for a case. Since the iPhone is going for a bit cheaper than the first gen version you’re likely to have a bit more cash flow to get a nicer case.
The Dior case is simple, but with [...]
Amazon have announced pre-order pricing for the Garmin nuvi 880 in-car GPS unit, and seeing as it’s the new flagship of the company’s range they’ve tagged it accordingly. $999 gets you automatic speech recognition (ASR), Bluetooth, text-to-speech, built-in traffic updates via an MSN Direct receiver and a 4.3-inch screen.
Check out the demo video of the nuvi [...]
Presumably someone at Alienware has been talking with NVIDIA, as it hasn’t taken the gaming PC manufacturer very long to announce new versions of their Area-51 desktop using the latest GeForce GTX 280 GPU. Available on the Area-51 7500, Area-51 and Area-51 ALX machines, up to three of the 602MHz GPUs can be specified.
Half of me wants to call this a hoax, while the other half of me is wondering whether not using Denon’s $499 AK-DL1 ethernet cable means my broadband is depressed and sluggish. At over $8 an inch, the 1.5m cable is, obviously, intended for the “audio enthusiast” (read: “gullible rich guy”), and the ideal way to [...]
After announcing the super-slick Envy ultraportable earlier on today, Voodoo have also unveiled their new gaming PC, the Omen. Conclusively proving that hard edges are back in style (and that minimalism never really went away), the monolithic 22-inch tall Omen was designed in-house. Based on an ASUS Striker Extreme II (NVIDIA 790i) motherboard, CPUs up to [...]
HP has just announced this very sleek Voodoo Envy 133 notebook in Berlin. I have been blissfully happy with my MacBook, which is only a year old. I have never once found a laptop that I have ever considered trading my laptop in for, until I saw this HP.
Upon first seeing this product, my first guess was that it was a modern light saber for Star Wars fans and the second guess was that it was a strange new lamp. I apparently seriously bite at guessing games, because a speaker is the last thing I would have guessed.
No, not a dining table set with heat-proof mats, this is actually an automated poker table from X10. Using ten 12.1-inch touchscreens, you and nine of your richest friends can gather round without anything as boring as a human dealer; a 27-inch LCD in the centre of the table does all those duties. Community cards [...]
Sony have given the green light to their Sountina NSA-PF1 non-directional speaker, which will go on sale in Japan on June 20th. The lightsabre-like column is six-foot tall, much of which is a shaft of organic glass that vibrates with a 50 to 20,000Hz range. Actual power output is not mentioned, but the system does have [...]
