World’s fastest graphics card - Asus 7950GX2

Asus 7950GX2 Graphics Card

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!

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.

Lego Mindstorms NXT Sensors and ControlsThere 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.

Playstation 3. Hold on!

Playstation 3

The much anticipated gaming console PlayStation 3 will be released on November 11 in Japan and on November 17 in North America. It shouldn’t take long to spread all around the world.

The gaming console will be launched in 2 models. One with 20 GB harddisk and the other, with 60 GB. However, the difference between models will NOT be only the disk size. 60GB version will be equipped with Secure Digital (SD), Compact Flash and Memory Stick Duo extension slots and wireless connection capabilities.(IEEE 802.11) When it comes to colors, it’s hard to make a decision. As you see in the picture above, all look slick and stylish.

Equipped with basic input/output ports, PS3 supports a broad range of displays from conventional NTSC/PAL standard TVs to the latest full high definition (HD) flat panel displays, offering the joy of the most advanced computer entertainment contents to homes around the world. Maximum heat and noise reduction has been achieved with a noise level equivalent to that of the current slim-line PlayStation 2 for use in living rooms.

PS3 is capable of playing back content from Blu-ray discs with the computational power of the “Cell processor”, at a bit rate of multiplex 48Mbps.

PlayStation-3 will compete with Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Nintendo’s Wii in the home entertainment market.

PS. Did you notice that it’s the same font with Spiderman 3?

Ergodex DX1 Input System

Ergodex DX1 Computer Input SystemErgodex DX1 Computer Input System

Keyboards are uncomfortable for anything that’s not typing. The layout doesn’t conform to the size and tendencies of your hand, and the shortcuts used in applications are usually not comfortable enough.

While gaming, the situation is more significant because you must be able to react to any changes in the environment as quickly as possible.

Now, there’s a great alternative from Ergodex. The DX1 Input System.

The unit consists of three parts. The main pad, a removable Plexiglas tray and the keys. The Plexiglas tray detaches from the top of the pad, allowing you to place custom artwork underneath the tray to help quickly arrange keys or simply customize the look of the Ergodex DX1.

Ergodex DX1 Computer Input System

There are 25 keys provided with the product. These keys wirelessly interface with the pad. Different functions can be assigned to the keys as any single key on your keyboard / mouse and also can be assigned a macro. (list of keystrokes) Best of all, which is the core functionality of this input device is that you can place these keys freely on the pad; whatever position best fits your fingers is possible.
