Type more efficiently - Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000

What we like about this keyboard is that its key layout isn’t so different than a traditional keyboard. Some other ”ergonomic keyboards” have an empty space dividing the keyboard into two pieces which would force you to type only like a pro speed typer. So, getting used to this keyboard is no big deal and especially if you are a hard-typer, you will feel the comfort it provides on your wrists as soon as the other day after you start typing with it.
Pros:
- Curvy key layout and keys in different sizes provide comfort.
- The quick calculator launch button just above the numeric keypad is very handy.
- Large SPACE, CTRL and ALT keys. We love them!
- There aren’t a ton of quick launch buttons above which you will never use. Volume level, browser launch, back/forward buttons and e-mail buttons are just enough.
- Liquid resistance. Water, coffee, tea, beer, coke… It happens!
- Cool looks.
Cons:
- Windows “start” buttons. We don’t want to see these! At least, not on each side of the SPACE bar. The one on the left is placed between the beautiful, large CTRL and ALT keys and is very disturbing. We would prefer the CTRL key to be even larger and this “start” key removed!!!

World’s fastest graphics card - Asus 7950GX2

Do you want the ultimate best graphics card for gaming the technology has to offer today?
This beauty has dual Nvidia 7950 GPUs and 1GB of DDR3 RAM on board! Some would think using two seperate graphics cards together via an SLI motherboard would do the job. But what would you do when you learn this baby is also SLI ready? Now imagine the graphics performance of the PC equipped with 2 of these. You get 4 GPUs and 2GB of DDR3 graphics memory. If you are willing to spend so much money on your computer, you will of course get the best of the rest too. This and an AMD FX-62 CPU would enjoy each others very much for sure! You won’t have to choose between graphics quality, speed and screen resolution for quite some time. Set everything to max!

Lego Mindstorms NXT
Build your own mini robot.

Would you like to design your very own robot that functions as you wish and reacts to the environment? This may be the easy way around.
The robot in the picture above is called Alpha Rex, one of the pre-designed robots in the Lego Mindstorms NXT package.
There are many sensors available to enhance your robots which are connected to the central control unit including a sound receiver, ultrasonic sound sensor and distance-meter.
NXT can recognize where it is at and where it should move. Comes with PC / Mac compatible software which allows you to program the behaviour of your bot.
Below is the rest of pre-designed robots. These are intended to give newbies a go and you’re of course not limited with these designs.
Tribot can recognize, hold and push objects. It can help you grabbing your drink.
Robo Arm can recognize objects in different colors and organize them.
That’s the aggro one. Spike grabs anything around that moves or makes noise.
