The Geekiest Gadgets of CES 2011

08.01.2011

On show at CES 2011 was iBuyPower's ridiculously awesome (or awesomely ridiculous--take your pick) Erebus desktop PC. This monster comes overclocked at 4.4GHz, and thanks to a slightly ridiculous cooling system, it can be overclocked further still. It's enough to excite any geek. We expect to get our paws on the Erebus sometime in February so look for our review of it then.

ThinkGeek has done it again--their new Joystick-IT Arcade Stick will hopefully help iPad gamers everywhere in racking up high(er) scores. Just stick it on your iPad and play the your favorite game (though I don't think it'd be much help in Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja). Joystick not hardcore enough for you? :

The Razer switchblade is an attempt to bring handheld PC gaming to the masses. It features a 7-inch screen, an as-yet-unreleased Intel Atom processor, capacitive multitouch screen, a 128GB SSD, 3G and Wi-Fi networking, and USB 3.0. That's a lot of stuff packed into such a small package. It's hard to tell if the Switchblade will catch on, but you can't fault Razer for trying.
