1. Western Digital My Book World Edition II - 2TB - Price: 360$wdfMyBook_World_H2N

From what I`ve seen so far, this is the best thing I could buy right now. And kicks the new "media center PC" idea out the door.

  • It it very easy to configure.
  • It does the job in the background.
  • It has RAID 1 - that`s 1TB of mirrored data. Just what the doctor ordered.
  • It CAN BE a media center ... connected to my XBox 360. Uuuhuuu!
  • I can access it from anywhere in the world! Not that I do this very often but I can think of something pretty cool: I don`t have to send loved-ones files over the YMessenger application anymore. I can "upload" them to the drive and they can download the files themselves using MioNet.
  • It can later be upgraded with two 2TB hard-drives. If you want, you can buy the "maximum of 2TB data" version: My Book Mirror Edition it costs only 270$ and can be used as a RAID 0 (no mirroring but you can use the whole 2TB capacity) - but uses USB connection only rendering it useless to me.

Everything I said is presented pretty nice in these videos.

2. The 15"HP Envy (now that`s @ a reasonable price) - Price: 2000$

  • Because it can "has" 2 SSD drives in RAID 1.
  • Because it has a Quad Core.
  • Because it looks very good.
  • Because it has a secondary battery very thin that sticks to the whole bottom of the laptop in a very stylish manner.
  • Because it it can "has" up to 16GB of ram (that`s 4 slots ... i`m drooling already).

7.Samsung 46B7000 - Price: 2000Ebg_fp_led7000_01

5. Logitech Illuminated Keyboard - Price: 120$img110285_06082009165959

  • Because I like slim keyboards.
  • Because it has illuminated keys. Not that I need them anymore but it`s a cool feature.
  • Because this way I could close the lid on my laptop and finally use 2 big monitors.

6. Razer Mamba - Price: ~150Eimg118998_09102009155125

  • Because I have the Death Adder for 2 years now and it`s the best mouse I`ve came across yet.
  • Because the Mamba is a Death Adder on steroids  and it ca go tail-less, baby (or should I say cordless).
  • Because the package looks way too cool.
