Versatile speaker

The egg-shaped DN-USP301 is more than just a USB speaker - it's a USB hub and card-reader, too.
The unit splits into two, revealing the two speakers, which connect to an audio source via mini stereo input, or you can connect it via USB to your PC to be used as a USB speaker. The speakers measure 5cms in diameter and the amplifier has an output of 2W x 2ch. The unit also has two USB 2.0 ports so you can use it as a USB Hub too. Last but not the least, the DN-USP301 can also access Compact Flash, Memory Sticks and SD Memory cards. This multifunctional device is compatible with Windows 2000/XP only - sorry Mac users.

Gun crazy Tom Clancy's "Rainbow Six: Lockdown" is a modern tactical shooter game, which is really fun and features great graphics. Players take the role of the squad leader in an elite counter-terrorist force called Rainbow. Each of the game's 16 single-player missions begins with a nicely presented briefing scene where a player gets briefed on the situation, receives some maps of objectives, and visits an equipment set-up screen to select a four-man team. "Lockdown" includes a great variety of assault rifles, submachine guns, combat shotguns and pistols, many of which are based on real guns such as Kalashnikovs, MP5s and Desert Eagles. The game is distributed in Thailand by New Era Interactive Media on one DVD with a suggested retail price of Bt750. Its street price could be as low as Bt550.
