The Alienware ALX X-58 Desktop Computer Was Designed To Impress

The Alienware ALX X-58 delivers exactly what you would expect from the industry’s most sophisticated high-performance desktop computer. Features such as an Intel® Core™ i7 Extreme CPU, both ATI® CrossFire™ and NVIDIA® SLI™ technology as well as low latency DDR3 memory come standard on every ALX to generate the highest benchmarks and the fastest, most intense graphics. The chrome accented case communicates that you appreciate a touch of luxury in your life. By choosing an Alienware ALX X-58 desktop computer, you join an elite club of the most discerning computer enthusiasts in the world.
By equipping every ALX X-58 desktop with the raw energy of the Intel Core i7 processors, you can unleash the unparalleled performance of the world’s fastest CPU. The newest Intel Core i7 965 Extreme packs performance features reserved for only the best processors such as an onboard dedicated memory controller and hyper threading technology. Coupled with liquid cooling standard, Alienware ensures your ALX X-58 not only runs at cool temperatures, but remains quiet as well.

ALX is synonymous with industry-leading graphics. That’s why every ALX X-58 desktop computer comes standard with the world’s fastest graphics. Alienware engineering utilizes both NVIDIA SLI and ATI CrossFireX multi-GPU technology. Doubling your graphics power delivers higher frame rates, faster rendering times and more realistic PC gaming and 3D environments. For users who like to crank their game settings to the absolute max, the ALX offers incredible quad-GPU options with plenty of dedicated graphics memory to spare. Upgrading to a quad-GPU solution.

Alienware unleashes the full potential of its high-end hardware with Windows® Vista 64 bit, unlocking all of the hardware’s dynamic features. A 64-bit operating system can process twice as much information as a 32-bit version, and can use significantly more random access memory. If you want to experience the world’s most advanced OS, you need the unrivaled power of an Alienware.

If you want to fully appreciate the power of the ALX X-58 desktop computer, an undersized, square monitor just won’t cut it. You need more. You need Alienware’s 30-inch, widescreen LCD. Capable of resolutions well above HD’s 1080p, this monitor is the ideal platform for video editing and 3D modeling or just kicking back with a Blu-ray movie. The 6 millisecond response time means you can game at max settings without ghosting or residual imagery.

The smooth, uninterrupted transfer rates of the Killer™ K1 Gaming Network Card plus the industries’ best peripherals from Logitech Razer redefine your PC gaming experience. Not only will you defeat your opponents with the pin-point accuracy of the Logitech G9 mouse, but the Killer K1 network card gives you the speed to see, attack and kill your opponent before they even know you’re there. This is next generation gaming.

The Alienware ALX X-58 desktop offers up to 4TB of hard drive capacity, enough to store 1,000 full-length movies or 1 million songs. Users can even choose dual 256GB solid state drives for the most stable, secure storage option available. By equipping each and every ALX with standard DDR3 1600MHz memory, Alienware ensures that data retrieval is seamless and lag-free. Up to 12GB of low latency memory give the ALX unprecedented multitasking capabilities.

Life just sounds better in 7.1 surround sound. Audio shapes an experience almost as much as graphics, and the crisp highs and thundering lows of the SoundBlaster® X-Fi™ XtremeGamer sound card pull you into PC games, movies and music with rich, concert-level sound. Of course, you still need the killer graphics, and nothing delivers mind blowing visuals like Blu-ray. Witness true 1080p HD and enjoy a movie viewing experience unachievable by conventional DVDs.

EZ-FIND! 25 Item Wireless Electronic Locator


EZ-FIND! 25 Item Wireless Electronic Locator
EZ-Find ….. A real winner!
On Monday I misplaced my car key ……. again. My wife finally located it in a most unlikely place in the basement and by then I was already thirty minutes late for an appointment. The key must have fall out of my pocket when I removed something else. Right then I decided it was time to get some kind of locator gadget that would put an end to all this foolishness.

I spent the next couple days researching the available products (see note below), and finally boiled it down to two. One was the FOFA and the other the EZ-Find. After some deliberation I ordered the EZ-Find. My decision to order it was predicated on the following:

1. The tags for the EZ-Find are much smaller than any other. That’s a big advantage if you’ve got a couple of them in your pocket.
2. Their web page provided more complete details including video instructions for programming the unit and an Acrobat Reader file of the owners manual.
3. The EZ-Find can be programmed to read out in alpha numeric characters, not just numbers. My car key is identified as, “Dons Car Key”. After all, if I can not remember where my key is how in the heck am I going to remember what number is assigned to which item. I could make up a list of numbers and their respective items, but then I’d probably misplace the list.
4. With the FOFA, each tag can call any of the other five. If I had two of them in my pocket and one accidentally set off the other in Church or at the theater it would be pretty Embarrassing. The EZ-Find, on the other hand, has an on off switch on the tag.

After having received the kit, I found the following:

1. Very quick delivery. Just a couple days.
2. Easy to program. I had installed all tags and programmed in about fifteen minutes or so.
3. The tags are light as a feather and do not take up much pocket room.
4. The system works just as good as advertised.

I strongly recommend this product for anyone having a penchant, as I do, for losing their “stuff”.

Note: Yes, I read the review by fellow who claimed to be an ear doctor and a skilled micro-surgeon did not yet possess the dexterity necessary to digitally insert a nickel-sized battery in an appropriately sized hole, could not see a back -lighted screen that is clearly visible to me and could not figure out that one button turned it on and the other two were the Up-Down keys for programming. It appears to me that he might have done better had he read the owners manual before blundering in. It was all in the manual. If nothing else, he could have watched the on-line video which explained it very clearly. Oh, and by the way, I’m a seventy four year old Retirees, I had no problems, how come a skilled micro-surgeon could not do it? Maybe he should be retired and I should take up micro-surgery.

Bragaincell Home Travel Charger for Nintendo DS Lite


Bragaincell- Premium Home Travel Charger for Nintendo DS Lite
The charger is easy. Simply connect one end into the wall, the other into your device, and it will recharge and condition your battery.

Very satisfied

I was skeptical about buying this because of the price. I was wrong. The original Charger was eaten by our dog, so I voted for the price I would try. It works just like the original no problem. Nintendo DS Lite is my son favorite toy. I’m so glad I found this charger.

The Sony Vaio Z Monster

The Sony Vaio Z range of notebooks is pretty wide, but instead of giving today’s model just another serial number, they should have given it a nickname. If we look at the hardware setup of this new Sony Vaio Z announced by Sony, there’s only one nickname I can think of, and that is “Monster,” of course.

Why should it be so obvious that the new Sony Vaio Z is a monster? Well, the hardware setup it has is far off the regular laptop charts. Unfortunately, the price is also off the line… but if you really need a killer laptop, then I guess you’ll pay what’s worth – and some extra!

The Vaio Z Order Made got the following hardware setup:

- Core 2 Duo T9900 at 3.06GHz
- 8GB of RAM
- 512GB of SSD storage (256GBx2!!)
- MIMO Wireless Lan
- Digital and Analog TV Tuner
- Optional WAN
- Blu-Ray Drive

The price? Come ooon, I don’t want to get a heart attack today, really! I guess it should go way above $3,000, but since this monster is only listed on the Japanese Sony website for now… we can start saving some money and dream about the most powerful Sony Vaio Z laptop. After all, dreams are for free…
