Brando’s SATA HDD Stage Rack doesn’t stay the same for very long, as it seems a new iteration keeps popping up every month or so. The latest (and greatest, might we add) is the SATA HDD Multimedia Dock, which enables users to slap in any ole 2.5- / 3.5-inch SATA hard drive and access it via USB. That’s not all, though. This one also provides an SD card slot, S-Video / composite / component outputs and a bundled remote — what for, you ask? So you can play back MPEG1/2/4, XviD and DivX (among others) files, of course. This takes multifaceted to an entirely different platform, huh?

You may have last seen gOS, the free, Ubuntu-based Linux distribution, touted here as a way to revive an old PC with a webapp focus. Now there’s three flavors of gOS available, including a ‘Space’ release that was designed with a Mac-like slickness to its interface, and a lot of MySpace functionality thrown in, on top of all the other Google, Facebook, and other link-ups. ‘Space’ ups the hardware demands from the standard gOS (to about the modern Ubuntu requirements); if you’re running older stock or just like the original interface, it’s still offered as ‘gOS Rocket E,’ or the GNOME-based ‘gOS Rocket G’ for Ubuntu fans. Live CDs/DVDs are offered for each flavor, so it’s free to take a look. Photo by thinbegin.
