Things that go ‘boo’ in the night!
The Escient DVDM 552 Media Manager sports a 500 GB hard disk and can handle up to 2000 DVDs and CDs in external changers. Man, who’s got time to look at all that stuff?

The Lite-On SOHW-1673SU EZ-Dub DVD Copier. This little puppy offers a 3 step disk copy in a neat little external form factor.

The ATMT Tech Book Reader. The folk at ATMT were hoping to punch out this AA battery powered e-book reader for around £65.00 ($114.00) which would have made it an interesting little product all round. But alas it’s shelved at the moment, at least until sometime later this year. And unfortunately V.2 threatens to come with colour screen, navigator, media player etc, which of course will inevitably mean more money. Sigh. The Tech Book Reader differs from present notebook computers or handheld…
The Disney Princess CD Player Jewellery Box. And why not? Baubles and sounds. Perhaps this kind of weird cross hatched – almost surreal – convergence makes sense in a Fantasia meets Barbie kinda way. Yes yes it’s for kids, but you never know. £39.99. Disney Princess CD Player Jewellery Box. Top loading CD player, CD-R/CD-RW playback, 6-digit LCD display, Stereo speaker system.

The Doorcap Smart. A door lock for the 21st century. With RFID and/or PIN code access. Automatic locking, alarm if break in occurs and internal forced lock when family is home (whatever the heck that means). Sounds safe though doesn’t it?
The Sparkly CD Clock. At last someone has found out what to do with all those AOL CDs. Phew! $15.95. Created by hand using three discs, each clock undergoes a heating and cooling process to create the unique irridescent cracked effect on the surface. Can be hung from the wall or used as a desk clock using the free stand provided.
Apparently there is a reason why you’d want to have a USB data and charging cable for your PSP that lights up with blue LEDs. But I’m struggling to hold on to it. Give me a moment. $12.00. This charging & data cable contains 3 LEDs on each head. After you plug it into PC, the LEDs will on. Brighting your PSP, you must get one.
Lazer Trip Wire. Don’t put up with the kids giving you trouble, just stand them inside this vicious looking lazer alarm system and watch them roast as they try to bust free. What’s that? Oh. I see.

The machine’s detections are then displayed by an LED band…

Internal DVD burner, 3.5 inch hard drive, 6 in 1 memory card reader, cooling fan and a USB 2.0 port to shuffle all that data goodness back and forth. With a starting price at around £149.99 in matt black with vents? Yep, chunky.
