If you are fed up of looking at your PC the whole day and recreation for you is limited to those computer games at max since your job doesn’t give you the flexibility to move out and relax then take a chill pill! I’m saying this as here is another computer game (don’t get irritated) with a difference. This one gives you mobility too. We are talking about the computer connected PC-Dart Game. All you need to get the game in your office is a USB port on your computer and 120€.
With this much at your end, all you need to do is have fun by installing the dart board on the wall and connection in the PC. As you hit the target, your screen will display the score to keep the competition levels high!
Not just this, it also features a number of gaming modes to keep you glued to the game even after frequent plays.
Initially the game will be available only in Japan and we hope to get hands on it in other countries as well. After all, recreation cannot be limited to a particular country.�
But if you want to catch the action life, you can have a look at the video here.

After cell phones and iPods going the bling way, it seems even the Computer manufacturers are looking forward to mint some big moolah, by converting the simple computer cases into shiny shiny stuff.
The reference here is to the Tokyo-based Zeus Computers who are all set to rake some moolah from the pockets of the richie-rich with their latest luxury personal computers. These machines are housed in cases which are no less a mobile treasure with precious jewels and metals caking the beautifully crafted body.

Some of the pricey picks include a model christened “Jupiter” made in pure platinum bearing a price tag you cannot even imagine for a computer case, $760,000. PHEW!
If this is not your budget, then there’s also a modestly priced piece called “Mars”, which is a solid gold version and is priced at $570,000.
To add some more drama and luxury to the machines, there is a blaze of inset diamonds patterned that carves the zodiac constellations and the Milky Way on the computer case.

Talking about the specs, the case includes a 3GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E6850-powered machine with a 256MB GeForce 7200GS VGA card, a 1000GB serial ATA hard drive, 2048MB of memory, a Blu-ray/HD-DVD optical drive and more, and Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate OEM comes pre-installed.

I guess hardly wuld any one give a heed to what’s there inside when the outside is something as chic and dazzleling as this!

While a month ago, the news in the air was an exclusive laptop from Korea’s own Pixel Lab and then it’s easy to understand if the lid design would be embraced by the people. And now the Korean firm is in news for offering another RippleNote lineup. The 17-inch PLK570 features some appealing hardware too, counting a WXGA+ (1,440 x 900) panel, NVIDIA’s GeForce 8700M GT, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 160GB 7,200RPM SATA drive, 4GB of DDR2 RAM, gigabit Ethernet and WiFi to boot. Other flaunting features include Bluetooth, a multi-card reader, DVI / S-Video outputs, FireWire and audio in / out ports. I am still not swayed if it would cost $2,466 but would suggest you to wait and watch the show.
