Cool Wall PC
Wall Mounted, Water Cooled PC
Built over the course of two years, this machine is optimised for gaming, 3D rendering/modelling and audio production. All components are mounted to a frame covered in a carbon fiber sticker for a clean look. All cables and soldering are routed to circuit boxes at the rear, and a conduit running from the base of the frame to the floor ensures that cables are minimally seen. RGB LEDs are placed underneath the baseplate of each component, and waterblocks and fans were drilled/rewired to fit custom LEDs, all of which are combined into one independent circuit powered directly by the PSU and controlled by either a remote control or smartphone. The watercooling loop includes a pump, two radiators, a CPU block and a GPU block, allowing for continuous 4K rendering, 60+FPS and 'ultra' graphics settings while maintaining medium temperatures. 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth functionalities are built into the rear of the frame, and overclocking the CPU/GPU remains an option through internal or smartphone app.
The Thermaltake Core P5
The Thermaltake Core P5 is an open frame, mid-tower chassis with a
transparent front and uncovered sides, so you can watch all your
hardware at work from any angle. You’re not restricted to mounting it up
walls, either, with detachable components that you can use to lay it
down flat or upright like a regular.
100-Inch Touchscreen Desk For The Office
You might remember my article about the ultimate office solution in the form of atouchscreen desk concept design. If it would have been real, I think Apple would have a serious headache right now. Unfortunately it wasn’t, and our reality became as ordinary as it always is. But if you think Apple is the only one working on groundbreaking touchscreen solutions, you are ultimately wrong. The 100-inch touchscreen desk called Pano should definitely be proof of that.
It’s the latest creation announced by Ideum and is a beast of a device. It is a touchscreen desk that is powered by Genuine 64-bit Windows 7 (Windows 8 ready). The specs for it are quite impressive, but it’s the 100-inch touchscreen desk itself that will probably wow anyone. Have a look at what this badboy has to offer. Its interior is built up by Intel Quad Core i7 3770 (3.4GHz) with hyperthreading, dual 500 GB SATA II 7200 RPM (RAID 1) hard disk drives, nVidia Quadro 600 1GB graphics card and 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3-1066 RAM. That’s some serious power which you will be able to wield with the 40+ simultaneous touch points it’s able to detect.
Having one of these beasts in the office could definitely help increase productivity by quite a bit. When it’s pivoted, this entire touchscreen desk has a whole new use. We could work on it constantly without getting too fatigued. Furthermore, the Pano comes standard as an integrated unit with its own computer workstation, audio with Yamaha speakers, and UPS. It can also be configured for a control room setup with rack-mountable hardware.
Now that’s what I call the ultimate touchscreen desk solution for any office. If you want to know the price for this insane device, I am afraid you will have to contact Ideum directly. As with all of these high-end devices, I can’t imagine the price being anywhere under $10,000. Whoever gets one of these touchscreen desks will definitely have a whole new work flow to look forward to.

Sony Smart Watch 2 VS Samsung Galaxy Gear
Sony Smartwatch specs
- 1.6-inch, 220×176 display
- Aluminum body
- Micro USB charging
- Compatible with most Android phones
- NFC and Bluetooth 3.0 for connectivity
- 3 to 4 days battery under normal use
- €199 ($262 U.S), Ships in late September
- No camera, mic or speakers
Samsung Galaxy Gear specs
- 1.63-inch, 320×320 display
- Stainless steel body
- Snap-on, proprietary USB 3.0 charger
- 800MHz Exynos single-core processor
- Bluetooth 4.0 LE
- Compatible with new Galaxy devices, previous gen Galaxy support coming soon
- Around 1 day of use
- 4GB of onboard storage
- $299
- Ships in September (October for U.S.)
- 1.9 megapixel camera, 720p video recording, speaker + 2 mics
- Gyroscope and accelerometer for workout tracking.
- The SmartWatch 2 isn’t cheap at €199; in fact, it’s the same price as the newly-reduced 8GB Nexus 4 model. Samsung’s is $299 and much more full-featured, with Samsung managing to pack a whole host of A/V equipment in its device. It also runs a number of Android apps out of the box, which have been redesigned specifically for the watch.SmartWatch 2 does have NFC for easy pairing with Android devices that support it, as well as more battery life, a better, higher resolution screen, and water/environment resistance that should keep your device protected from general grit and submersion at 3 feet for up to 30 minutes. Sony’s also doing a big push for bringing third-party apps to the SmartWatch software platform, which could help narrow the gap there.Overall though, as you can see from the list of specs above, there’s not really much of a competition between the two devices in terms of features; but Sony’s SmartWatch 2 has an edge in battery life owing to its much more narrow feature set, and it offers wider support for other Android devices out of the box.These are two very different definitions of the term “smartwatch,” with the more ambitious vision coming from Samsung. Aside from the steep requirement of apparent (temporary?) platform lock-in, I’m definitely much more intrigued by the Gear, but I also suspect both devices will find a mostly limited receptive audience among consumers.

Equals Watch - Product Tank Two Screens Displays
Equals Watch may not look like a watch at all. It has two touchscreen-like faces that look more like a futuristic miniature computer or hi-tech piece of jewelry than a timepiece. Yet as soon as the Equals Watch is turned on, it is clear that it has a very specific function.
What makes the Equals Watch stand out in particular is how the two screen parses out information in an easy to read format. For instance, the top screen displays the time while the bottom screen appears to sync with phones and calendars to alert people to important messages and meetings.
