Asus WL-500G Router Beastie

A webcam, print server, file server and (obviously) pre-n wireless router. When my Airport Express hits the 13 month mark and goes pop (nearly inevitable, from what I understand), this will likely replace it.

Linked from Thinkcomputers. Yes please.

McDrunky's Sweater

McDrunky
This is a cute sweater. I can't find anything like it around here (well, it is coming into summer).
When the weather starts turning chilly, I'll keep an eye open for something like it.
As for McDreamy... well, I've got one of those >:)

Zalman Tech's ZM-NC1000 cooler (from Engadget)




It's made of machined aluminium. It has two fans and a USB hub. My MacBook Pro is out getting a brain transplant, but when it comes back I know it would appreciate sitting on one of these during WoW.

More details here

It's $79AU at pccasegear.com.

iCovet.... my own damn laptop


MacBook Pro and iBook

Caffeine the MacBook Pro is in the shop for heat and whine. God I hope it's not too long waiting for parts or anything. Or that the time without it has been completely futile ("call us if it actually *does* melt metal." ).
At least it's not post-christmas. I'd be queued behind sundry iPods and Christmas Macs.

Update : I got a message that there is a new Logic Board on order. Hoorah!

Prada ASUS S6F limited edition pink leather laptop (from PopGadget)

Prada ASUS S6F limited edition pink leather laptop

A DVD burner. An ultraportable 11.1" sized laptop with matching pink leather-covered mouse and a carry bag.
I wonder how good all of these leather covered laptops are going to look after a couple of years of wear and tear and greasy fingers, but my Mac-loving self could definitely picture carrying this around. Running Ubuntu of course.
It's $2,500 US .. so, iCovet. And the battery life is a weeny 2 hours, so this probably doesn't work as a PDA replacement.
