'Enlighten PC': Dharma wheel for the desktop?

We're not quite sure what's going on with Suissa Computers. Their PC gear seemed unusual enough when we saw their "Shadow" hard drive, which looked something like a cross between drum and hatbox.

But now the Canadian company is taking yet another strange turn with its "Enlighten PC," a limited-edition contraption that adds yet another layer of oddity with metal and glass adornments joining its trademark round wood casing. Inside, however, it's a full-scale computer with 4GB of memory, a 1TB hard drive, and a choice of an Intel Quad Core or AMD X2 processor, according to SlashGear.

By the way, this limited run will produce only 10 of these machines, yet somehow we don't think they'll be a problem meeting demand. It would make a natural companion to the "Enlightenment Lamp," though.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
