While we are going to be taking a look at the new Thecus M3800 in the coming weeks, our Taipei readers may be interested in checking out Thecus's booth at Asia's largest technology show, Computex 2008 which will feature a number of new NAS/RAID solutions.
 
Along with the M3800, Thecus will be displaying 7 new models, including the tantalising miniPC.

To see these exciting new products and more, visit Thecus in the Nangang Exhibition Hall, Booth No. J317a, J319a, J417, and J419 at Computex 2008. 

Getting a good night’s sleep is essential to be productive during the day. For your work and your wellbeing. These days life in the fast lane often means we don’t get enough of one of the most important things in life – sleep.

But now you can make your night’s rest meaningful again: the Austrian inventors of the aXbo sleep phase alarm clock have developed a mini ‘sleep lab’ for your own home.

Read the details below.

 Today, we have a look at another of Zerotherm's latest CPU coolers, the Zerotherm Zen FZ120. 

Previously, we had a look at their 'butterfly' shaped cooler and it performed exceptionally. 

Let's hope that this cooler can provide similar results. 

Remote Viewing with Motion Detection

Our previous Swann Communications product review was about the Digital Private Eye.  It was a handy device, unobtrusive but ultimately rather limited.

The DVR4-Pro-Net Combo Kit is a much more professional setup and a bit more complicated, both to install and to suss out the various features.
With 4 CCTV cameras, an LCD Monitor and a DVR recorder this combo kit means business: it will keep your home or business premises under surveillance for a long, long time, recording only when it detects motion as one of the options.  It can even alert you over the Internet if an intruder is afoot!

Astak has announced three new E-Book Readers to work their way into the hearts and eyes of modern day readers everywhere. The three models will all feature 128Mb of SD expandable memory, E-Ink Screens, an 8,000 page turn per charge battery capacity and be able to play stereo music.

The Mentor will come in three sizes: 5 inch, 6 inch and 9.7 inch with the larger size Mentors featuring enhanced features, such as a touch screen, Wifi (802.11g) and Bluetooth connectivity.

The Mentors are due for release later this year with the 5 inch expected in June at a projected sub $200US price point. For more information on all three Mentor E-Book Readers visit the Astak website.

The web is a fast medium: before you know it you're surfing off to other shores. So let me get the message out straight away: if you have a tight budget, love our planet, and need a computer, then put the Norhtec MicroClient Sr at the top of your shortlist! This is the smallest computer I have seen until now, and can be used in many situations to replace the larger and heavier computer system.  If you are starting with a clean slate, even better: definitely consider this tiny powerhouse! It's a small computer in physical size, uses a lot less energy. BUT let its Puppy Size not deceive you: there's a lot of power inside to address your (personal) computing and communication needs.

Hot on the heels of the DNS-323 (review here), D-Link have announced the next level of home NAS/RAID storage: The DNS-343.

With four SATA bays allowing a total of 4GB storage space, the DNS-343 essentially quadruples the maximum (RAID 0) storage capacity of its smaller sibling. This increase is enhanced by the inclusion of RAID 5 striping and distributed parity for greater data security.

Along with Gigabit Ethernet as standard, the 343 also features an informational OLED display on its front allowing the unit's IP address, operating temperatures or array status to be viewed at the touch of a button.

Price and availability are still to be announced but expect to see this sexy unit drive getting the full DigitalReviews treatment in the next month or so.

Lets face it, books are so last century. Of course reading in and of itself is still great, but turning dust filled pages does kind of suck. Enter the BEBOOK ebook reader.

The BEBOOK has 512Mb of on board memory as well as an SD card expansion slot allowing you to carry a veritable cornucopia of books. Couple this with the BEBOOK’s claimed 7,000 page turns per charge and you have an ideal companion for the train, bus or aeroplane.

Stay tuned as we try to get our hands on one of these and find out if its cutting edge E-Ink technology can finally replace the tried and tested paperback.

The BEBOOK is available from BEBOOK direct and retails for 329.95 Euros.

Segatoys’ Homestar PURE is a home planetarium, which like its astronomically expensive museum counterparts, projects images of the night sky onto a ceiling. Unlike its museum cousins, however, the Homestar PURE is small, simple to operate and at $122US, very affordable.
