Optimus Pultius, the mini-Maximus
By now, everyone knows the Optimus Maximus, Art Lebedev’s insanely expensive keyboard. It may be the coolest keyboard ever made, but first of all, it’s just too damned expensive and second, apparently it’s not that good for ordinary typing.
This keyboard may be something that’s more suitable to the everyday user. It’s not a full-size keyboard, [...]
Team Fortress 2 Casemod
Case modders never cease to amaze me. Rectangular cases with windows, lights, spectacular paintjobs and fluorescent water cooling systems are already quite impressive, but nothing can beat a mod that changes the entire shape of the case. And if the case is transformed in an object you’d find in a game, it’s even more spectacular! [...]
Thermaltake Home Theatre PC
This PC case is exactly what you need if you want to build a home theatre PC. It looks more like an amplifier or receiver than a PC! The case is designed for ATX and Micro ATX motherboards, and has one 12cm and two 6 cm fans for cooling. The really unique feature, though, is [...]

Most UMPCs (ultra mobile personal computers) run on Windows Mobile or something similar. The Pandora, however, is different.

The following image is a rendering of what it will look like:

The HP iQ506 TouchSmart is a compact desktop pc that has everything built into the 22″ screen, like the iMac. The computer has an Intel T5850 Core Duo CPU, 4 gigabytes of [...]
The Ultimate Workstation
Ask a geek what the first thing is he would buy when he wins the lottery, and chances are it’s this. If this doesn’t make you drool, nothing will! Not much specs are available at the moment, but here’s what’s known: three widescreen monitors, Dolby THX surround, air filtering (WTF??), light therapy (even more WTF??) [...]
Asus EEE PC 900 comparison
The following video compares the new Asus EEE PC 900 with the older 700 model. The most notable difference, of course, is the larger display. Also demonstrated is the multi-touch system, wich means you can operate the touchpad with 2 fingers at the same time.
Another significant difference is the upgraded storage. The 700 had only [...]
Optimus Popularis prototype
The successor to the insanely expensive Optimus Maximus keyboard is already in the works. Here’s a picture of the prototype. Art Lebedev isn’t giving away a lot of information at the moment, but it’s supposed to be a keyboard with transparent keys on top of a single TFT display instead of a small OLED display [...]

One of the most talked about gadgets of the moment is the Asus EEE laptop, a cheap, small and light laptop. Because of its popularity, Asus decided to design an EEE desktop computer, the EEE Box. No picture is available yet, but it’s supposed to be about the the size of a book.
