This under-the-stairs solution would be a perfect addition to our recent Best Staircase Storage Solutions list or a companion piece to the secret kitchen laundry room. It's definitely an efficient use of space, but we're not sure about the decor effect.

It's funny how manufacturers seems to relegate white and coloured case flat panel displays to the kitchen, when from personal observation there seems to be a healthy demand for these type of displays at larger sizes (look at how much nicer a white frame set looks in a
Now this is one retro-tastic DIY coffee table. Kyle Downes measured the proportions of an NES controller and super sized it into one gigantic working control pad that doubles as a coffee table. Made of MDF board and topped with a protective glass sheet, the control top flips open to store all his Nintendo power. Check out the table in action under the jump...

Very slick, Macessity...very, very slick. The LowKey Stand is a powder-coated platform that perfectly compliments your aluminum sheathed iMac or Apple Display, providing a measured cubby slot to tuck away your keyboard while also providing a useful and easy to reach 4-port USB 2.0 hub up front. Love this type of minimal-modern integration...

The Wanetlight continues the Wiimote hackery with a suspended lighting system composed of 25 blown glass candles with 5x5x5 LEDs clustered in the three axes (LxWxH). The cluster forms a luminous 3-D screen cage. Each LED can be individually controlled for on/off setting for customizable lighting modes, while the Wiimote controls the sensors that pilot the ascending/descending movements of the LEDs. We'd love to see something like this implemented on a huge wall of LEDs that would respond to gestures across it, becoming one huge LED wall paint program.
We'd like to apologize for the site being down for most of the day today. Although we think "small is cool", this apparently doesn't apply when referring to server traffic capacity. An unusual spike in reader traffic brought our site to its knees this morning and we've only just recovered. We're getting everything upgraded now so we can avoid this problem. Thanks for being patient with our growing pains...

We're all about multi-monitor setups...once you go dual, single feels a fool. But if you're on a laptop, or don't have any slots available for another video card or just are on a budget, then an external USB vid card like this one from UV Plus+ might be the solution for you...
There are three things that we particularly like about Nostromo's desktop: 1) it's super clean, unlike our own desk at the moment, 2) all his peripherals and decor match (the lamp, speakers and mouse all share an egg-like quality), and 3) the way he's framed his monitor with two vertically situated photo frames creating a pleasing symmetrical workspace. And look, his

Do movie studios finally get it? 20th Century Fox, The Walt Disney Studios, Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios Home Entertainment, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Lionsgate, Image Entertainment and First Look Studios will all be offering new releases via iTunes at $14.99 on the same day as DVD releases (with most catalog titles at $9.99). Disappointingly, we'll all still have to wait about 30 days for movie rentals of new releases from iTunes. Boo~
Sure, this is pretty geeky, and normally we're not one to want our home electronics to look like a "toy". But perhaps it's the 7-year old Jedi-loving kid still within when we say this
