MvixBox 2-bay Ultra Performance NAS / Media Server
December 22, 2008
The MvixBox 2-bay high performance NAS / media server is a 3-in-1 solution for storing media files, operating as a media server, and facilitating file transfer. These features are already available in other options, such as the DViCo TViX M-6500A, but the MvixBox is a more affordable solution that also offers the bonus of dual drive bays. The functionality could also be achieved by buying a home PC, installing a server OS onto it, and connecting it to the network. However, chances are that even if you manage to get this working without problems, it would cost quite a bit more than even the DViCo TViX M-6500A. Understanding the needs of small businesses and home users, MvixUSA has come up with a very attractive solution. The MvixBox offers many of the features consumers have been asking for in a network media player.
Here are some of the features that the new system offers:
- Media server
- Web disk capability
- NAS, Torrent sharing and FTP Management
- DDNS server
- Web server
Ninja Blowgun and Knife Combo
December 16, 2008
Ninjas are always prepared for battle, but they prefer a sneakier type of attack. So your average knife would not do them much good. But attach a folding blowgun to a small pocket knife and you have a silent attack with a knife standby in case things don’t go quite as well as planned.
The Ninja blowgun and Pocket knife combo consists of 5″ closed and a 3 1/2″ 440 stainless steel blade. Includes 2 pieces of black tubing to make your pocket knife blowgun. Also includes 3 darts and a nylon pouch.
It is priced at $20.

GAMEROX Chair Rocks Gamer Kids Into Shape
December 16, 2008
In an attempt to combat child obesity while obese children combat each other, the GAMEROX chair strengthens your child’s midsection(s) and improve their posture while they play video games.
Meant for children between the ages of 7 and 12, this chair will bend, bob and weave in all different directions, which will strengthen your child’s core balance, tone their muscles, and improve their posture as it forces your child to refrain from slumping and support himself. Much like an exercise ball at a gym. But with safety features such as an emergency brake, a removable tripod leg, and specially designed joints that will keep gamers from being flung backwards.
GAMEROX can also support 175 pounds, and since it’s not yet available for purchase, you still have a little time to hop onto your WoW treadmill to prepare yourself.
