Clutter-Free Lappie Haven

For centuries my pal LT has been advocating minimalist style for computer tables and I second his choice; Happy Birthday LT, here’s the Mother of ALL minimalist Tables: Bluelounge’s StudioDesk. Why? Coz it has some really spectacular features, lemme elucidate: ALL the peripherals and excess cables get tucked neatly under the sliding desktop surface. This storage compartment can be easily accessed from the top. The long slot across the desktop allows the necessary peripheral & power cables to enter/exit at any point; Clutter-free lappie tables!

In the storage compartment you can stow: Power strips, AC adapters, USB hubs, external hard drives, routers, chargers, and even a MacMini server and more n more cables! This means only a single cable exits the desk to the power socket. There’s a faux leather mat covering the sliding portion of the desktop and guess what; it’s included!

For convenience, the desk comes in a comfy knock down condition and can be easily assembled.
What I really dig is the solid mahogany legs, and soothing White laminate surface.

LaCie Debuts 8TB 4big Quadra Bundles Including a 32TB RAID

LaCie's new series of RAID bundles include an 8TB model of the 4big Quadra, which is actually just two 4TB hard drives put together.

The 8TB model joins the 4big Quadra series—a 4-bay RAID solution that features swappable disks and seven RAID modes—that boasts transfer speeds up to 700MB/s and capacities as big as 32TB. The hard drives with higher capacities, like the 8TB, are also just bundles of smaller drives placed together.

Available in the May and starting at $1,199, the 8TB LaCie 4big Quadra Bundle will include two 4TB 4big Quadras, an eSATA II PCI Express Card and 4 ports. The 16TB and 32TB—besides having higher capacities—come with everything the 8TB bundle contains, as well as LaCie Rescue Kits, which consists of spare hard disks and power supplies.
