QNAP Systems recently updated their Turbo NAS range by introducing the TS-410 desktop NAS server which was specially developed to target the SOHO and Prosumer market segments. Having said that, you won’t find top-of-the-line features in this, since it isn’t going to blaze through performance charts in any way, but the TS-410 does come with a decent enough feature set to get you up and running right out of the box without worrying about it becoming obsolete a few months down the road. The TS-410 will come with a quartet of hot-swappable SATA hard drives that are capable of holding up to 8TB of storage with its 2TB maximum, supporting 2.5″ or 3.5″ hard drives for added flexibility when it comes to drive installation.

Are you the resident office clown? The Butt Lightning Desk Organizer might just be the thing for you, as this faceless model will make sure you always have a pen around (nicely slipped into his mouth, of course) alongside a prismatic-looking, lightning strike which seemingly penetrated his bottom. You can ease his pain temporarily by pulling it out to open a letter.

We know that summer’s long gone, and the cold, cold chill of winter is about to set in (at least for folks living in the northern hemisphere), but there are still a huge number of people who live in tropical climates who would find the Handy Cooler personal air conditioner to come in, well, handy – as the name suggests.

Handy Cooler is a small and attractive personal cooling device that is packed with plenty of fantastic features you would never expect from a small personal fan. This is a personal fan that literally cools the air. This amazing gadget delivers continuous evaporated cool air flow to keep you cool anytime under the sun or at home. Just think about the limitless uses… sunbathing, hot offices, picnics, camping, golfing, watching the game from the sidelines in blistering heat, and don’t forget hot flashes!

You can choose to power it using batteries whenever you’re outdoors (do have rechargeables in mind to help reduce the amount of waste generated with used batteries), and for those who are in the office, there is always the option to connect it via USB especially when you’re placed in a cubicle where the air conditioning just won’t reach. Worth forking out $39.99 for?
