The robots sold by City Foundry don’t move or actually do anything; they will just sit wherever you put them gathering dust. I do have to say, however, that there was something about them that made me want to own one. That was, at least, until I saw the price. But they do look good.

Price: $750 - $6000 (I think that I would be better off buying up some old electronic parts and trying to build my own). [Bennett Robot Works via Gear Fuse, Retro Thing]

If you are looking to drop your reputation at work down a few pegs at work by making yourself appear to be a hardened alcoholic and get a little bit of external HDD space at the same time, then this is most definitely the USB drive for you. Think Geek is selling a 250GB hip flask-esque USB drive that will get both jobs done extremely well and yes, the leather is real.

Price: $149.99 [Think Geek]

S. Magor http://www.uberreview.com/?p=6993 One of my favorite games when I was growing up was Afterburner. Why? Because it was a lot of fun moving with the game; turn left and you move left, awesome. Which is why the Gyroxus has me curious, I must say that I am intrigued at the idea of being able to recreate the whole experience in the comfort of my living room. It is compatible with all major consoles, including: PC, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, PS3 and PS2 consoles.

Price: $479 [Gyroxus via Ubergizmo, Bornrich]

S. Magor http://www.uberreview.com/?p=6990 The A Team black GMC van is now the R/C toy to pwn all others. I can’t think of too many vehicles that are cooler than the famous black and red van. It is awesome, regardless of the actual mediocrity of the series - you can’t put a price on memories.

Price: $60 [Firebox via Oh Gizmo, Geek Alerts]

The Acrylic Cowboy is a case built by manufacturer Digital Cowboy. It is basically the absolute minimum that you would ever want in a case; it contains just enough plastic to keep your equipment together, but not quite enough to keep the dust off. There is a full range of these acrylic cases, which range in price according to model.

Minimalism definitely has a place in the PC building world, this is a great way to to build a quick system with easily interchangeable parts; I definitely like.

Price: $37 - $101 (Only available in Japan) [Hanwa via Technabob]
