Medion unveils cheap, high-spec, gaming PC – the "Erazer".
Medion, known for rebadging expensive PCs and selling them cheap, has just sent us word of its new gaming PC – the Erazer. It’s a reassuringly high-specced machine considering the price, with perhaps only its graphics card letting it down. Let’s have a look in more detail.
The machine is centred around the fantastic Intel Core i7 920 processer, which runs at 2.66GHz with 8MB of cache. That’s paired up with a respectable 9600GT graphics card with 512MB of graphics memory and DirectX10 compatibility. There’s a 1TB hard drive, a whopping 6GB of RAM, a full 10 (10!) USB ports and your average Wi-Fi, optical media drive, memory card reader and a few bits of bundled software.
All that’s available right now for the low low price of £899, though that doesn’t include mouse, keyboard, monitor or mousemat. And we all know how important a mousemat is. I’d have been happier if Medion had swapped out the i7 for a slightly lower-spec, but just as capable, Q6600 processor and upgraded the graphics card instead, to an 8800GTX, perhaps.
Drink Starbucks at home with Bosch's Tassimo coffee machine and 'bucks flavoured pods
Is it wrong of me to admit to loving Starbucks? I’ve noticed many of my friends on Facebook have joined various anti-Starbucks groups, so I’m guessing I should probably keep my adoration down to a minimum.
I can’t help but get all hot under the collar though, when reading that Bosch has collaborated with the coffee chain for pods for their Tassimo machine – what a wonderful idea! Just in time for Christmas apparently, they’ll offer Starbucks-flavoured Kenco T capsules, plus the Tassimo…
Springflex: because your colleagues love the smell of sweat in the morning
Bored of your office desk-cum-treadmill? Want to beef up your biceps instead of your thighs? Then I guess, err, you’ll be after the dubiously named ‘Springflex’. Sounds suspiciously like an infomercial product to me!
It can be screwed onto your desk, giving you the power to do well over 120 exercises, targeting your upper body…all whilst sitting at your chair, staring blankly at your RSS feeds, wishing it was lunchtime already so you can stare blankly at all the greenery in your local salad bar.
Here’s a word of advice, though. If you purchase…

Bejewelled washing machine by Samsung uses same technology used in making diamonds
If there’s any product photo which has originated from Asia that’ll send all the readers of Idiot Toys into a spin, it’d be this one here. Yes, she’s a gorgeous woman in a wedding dress, modelling a washing machine. No, she probably won’t wash your M&S pants for free, but worth a try perhaps?

The Dreamcade 2.0 Cocktail arcade machine will send you back to the '80s

Ferrari Unica exercise machine is the stuff of Hannibal Lecter's dreams
Your eyes aren’t deceiving you – this is a Ferrari-branded machine capable of EXTREME BODILY TORTURE. The only difference between this and a stretching-rack is that the pictured ‘Unica’ (so-called because men are in danger of becoming a ‘unic’, or ‘eunuch’ after using one. Probably.), is that the Unica is actually disguised as exercise equipment.
Designed in-house by a team of Ferrari designers, it’s coated in the same shade of red as the famous cars, with the exact same beige leather trim as well. Unlike the cars however, the Unica offers over 25…
