Dalek Illuminating Wall Clock

Another Dr Who gadget, this latest one is called the Dalek illuminating Wall clock. For those of you that don’t know, Doctor Who is a British science fiction program first shown on the BBC which was about the adventures of a time traveler known as “Doctor Who”. The Doctor travels through space in his time ship called the Tardis and fights against alien invaders called “The Daleks”.

I was never a Dr Who fan (maybe because i was scared of the Daleks) but i am a fan of some of the gadgets that’s being released. Today’s gadget is a Dr Who Dalek wall clock which shines brightly through the night indicating the time clearly.


Priced at $24.99 I hope this Dr Who Figure won’t cause you to have nightmares!

Acer Aspire Predator G7700 desktop PC

Acer, the Taiwanese PC company has announced its latest creation into the desktop marketplace called the Aspire Predator. Before looking at the specifications of the PC I must say I am already impressed by the design of it. The Aspire Predator comes with a G24 widescreen LCD display making it ideal for gaming. So with such an aesthetically pleasing outside appearance is it as impressive inside as well?

Here goes. First the processor, is an Intel Core Quad processor powerful enough for you? I somehow think the processor is not going to be the bottleneck in this system somehow. Next the graphics card, well the Acer Aspire Predator comes with NVIDIA’s GeForce 9 Series graphics card so there won’t be any issues here with outputting images for the most demanding of games.

One of the problems with gaming is the heat generated internally by the demanding nature of playing video games online. However, the Predator solves this problem by running a state of the art liquid cooling system that ensures all hardware components run at optimum temperature which ensures maximum performance with no damage due to overheating.

Estimated price of the Acer Aspire Predator Desktop is $1,649.
