Are you thinking of getting a brand new PC sometime in the near future? Well, if you happen to have the budget for something big and powerful, you can always consider the HP Blackbird 002 which will be available in an exclusive configuration at Amazon.com, Newegg.com and select Best Buy, Circuit City, J&R and Micro Center retail stores and online shops this summer. This landmark event also marks the first time the HP Blackbird 002 will be made available in retail stores, allowing more customers to experience it up close and personal before they make up their mind about purchasing it. Of course, the retail configuration won’t disappoint when it comes to cutting-edge design and performance elements, since this is a thoroughbred machine that is meant to be set apart from the other desktop PCs in its class. Retail displays will also include video demonstrations of the system while offering live play.

We’ve never heard of these guys before. I dunno, maybe we’re not up with the times. Or maybe NZKT is still a no-name in the computing industry. Either way, we’ve discovered them through their new NZKT Khaos PC gaming chassis, which mixes high-performance with sleek and sophisticated style.

A lot of PC cases these days look too cartoony or too nerdy (for some people, certainly not us as you can plainly tell) to be practical for any office or home. The Khaos successfully integrates a moderately geeky, yet sophisticated design style, with enough backing chassis performance to sell to the heavy gamer.

Likely from the picture you spotted exactly what these little guys are right off the bat and if you didn’t then you’ve been living under a rock.  These cute little lamps in disguise under the name of Space Intruderz are quite obviously the classic Space Invaders.  Wouldn’t want any pesky issues with copyrights though, it’s not like we’ve seen any official Space Invaders in a while anyway.  These cute little lamps will let everyone know without a shadow of doubt you’re either living in the past or a hardcore gamer.

Grand Theft Auto is one of the greatest, most controversial, and most notorious game brands to ever exist. Despite the amazing success of the newest addition to the series, Grand Theft Auto IV was not released for the Nintendo Wii console. Maybe they were waiting for the right time to release the game. Say, when they had an awesome new peripheral to make their version unique.

So maybe vandalism isn’t a huge selling point for a game that features the mass slaying of prostitutes and high-speed pursuits. On the whole scheme of things, graffiti is the least of the cops problems in the GTA series. But even so, the Wii is in need of a little risque edge. Something to attract the solo angry gamer.

Just how many ways are there to make your product sound better than “The Ultimate Game Chair“? Well, apparently that just about takes the cake, thanks to a Capcom-branded Reactor Video Game Chair. Ultimate Game Chair is not a piece of furniture actually - it is but the first and only game chair company to have a formal licensing agreement with Capcom, and it would be pretty interesting to see how things shape up from here. Head on after the jump for further context.

Imagine if you and your buddies could all get together for a game of Texas Hold’em and not even require a physical deck of cards? Poker had a sort of a second or third-wind within the last few years with the popularity of online gambling and college frat boys who have too much time on their hands.

This excellent (yet extremely expensive) X10 10 player Automated Poker Table might be the next-generation gadget of choice for casinos and wealthy poker fans. And when we say wealthy, we mean wealthy enough to shell out $30k for a high-tech poker table.

Most commonly worn by British girl-power pop stars and Japanese transsexual prostitutes, gigantic platform shoes were once on the path to making their way to the mainstream. Normal platforms were big for awhile, but these absolutely gigantic ones were a little too extreme for modern fashion.

But nothing is too extreme for us geeks! And that is made abundantly clear with these platform shoes that allow you to embed your Nintendo Gameboy right into the extra-tall lift. These platforms provide you built-in storage for your handheld console, so you can whip out a gaming session anytime, without causing bulk in your pocket.
