The eco friendly way to destroy data

Destroy Your Data, not the environment.
The PX-OE100E PlexEraser is the solution for the removal of high security data.The PlexEraser is the only device that uses lasers to detroy the data layer portion of the CD/DVD to make the data unreadable. Without physically destroying the disc itself, the PlexEraser is also environmentally friendly. When you break a cd or a dvd manually, u r successful in destroying the data, but in this process, toxic gases are released to the surrounding. The Plexerasure comes to our rescue by erasing the data in a disc without manually breaking, thus saving the environment.

EASY SETUP The PlexErasure requires no personal computer setup and runs upon insertion of a disc. Just plug it in. Pop in a disc. Destroy.

ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY Since the PlexErasure doesn’t physically destroy the disc, you never have to worry about releasing toxic particles into the atmosphere as with conventional disc destruction methods. The PlexErasure meets RoHS 1.2 environment standards.*

LOW POWER, SILENT, CONTINUOUS DESTRUCTION The PlexErasure runs on a minimum amount of power in both data destruction and standby modes. Moreover, the PlexErasure fits well in the corner of a quiet office, while never emitting more that 35 decibels. And since the PlexErasure never needs to cool down, data can be continuously destroyed.

Soundpad Impact speakers: Cool speakers for the Wall

Speakers on the move!

These cool gadget transfer sound to any surface you stick them on. SoundPads convert posters, bookcases, tables, doors - any thin-walled high-transmission surface into permanent stereo speakers!Now, thats something really cool. The sound quality varies depending on the surface you peel and stick them on, so be selective!

The soundpad speakers are designed to stick permanently to the location to which they are adhered. A bit of trial and error in choosing where to mount the sound pad is recommended. For example, you might find improved sound quality in one area of a framed picture by sliding the pad on its surface (before peeling to expose the adhesive), so be creative before you give these a permanent home...

1) Has the capability to convert any thin-walled high-transmission surface into permanent stereo speakers, including posters, pictures, bookcases, boxes and more
2) Contains 2 stick-on speakers

Medusa USB Hub

So, here it is. Nothing but cool.Wait, dont just fall for the good looks; it has utility and lots of it. This is the most stylish and best powered USB hub. The USB hub that everyone now needs because you’ve got more USB devices than your computer has USB ports. The story doesnt end here - this cool gizmo not only has USB ports, it also has Firewire ports as well. The cool Medusa USB from Thinkgeek.

A quick look at the specs: 4 USB 2.0 ports speeding at 480Mbps, 2 Firewire 400 ports at another 400Mbps.And there’s more! This ‘thing’ which really does kind look like Medusa’s head also has a mini USB Fan and a light. WOW!

Works with most of the OS - Win/Mac/Linux. A little more than the standard hub, but along with the Firewire, USB and the fan and light and the style, it is gonna cost you just a bit more. But think of the oohs, aahs, cool and wows you’re gonna get too!

Just to brush up your knowledge, Medusa was a mythical creature, a Gorgon woman with snakes for hair and was so ugly, anyone who looked at her would turn into stone. While we don't think anyone will turn to stone gazing upon this stylish and functional USB gadget (or maybe they will be stunned by the looks), we do think it would look awesome if each tentacle had a Master Chief USB drive plugged in, dangling in mid-air with their little USB heads missing.

USB Stealth Switch

Go Undercover as a Diligent Employee
We’ve all been there at one point in our working lives; in the middle of watching a hilarious video on YouTube involving a guy falling off a particularly tall filing cabinet, a hedgehog and a huge bowl of custard or for the matter of simplicity, -playing desktop games like Minesweeper or Solitaire. At that exact moment, your boss springs up from behind your shoulder to confirm their suspicions that you are not entirely focused on your job. Though the video may be different, this scenario plays over and over again in offices around the world. Well, you dont have to worry anymore about getting caught with the ingenious USB Stealth Switch.


This small but essential bit of office kit is a desktop cloaking device and instantly hides applications of a suspicious nature just at the press of a foot switch. Your offending browser isn’t just minimised, instead it is completely hidden from view. Not only does the Stealth Switch work visually, it can also mute sound which is great for tackling those annoying, noisy pop up ads.


The foot switch is the cleverest part about the design of this gadget, as you don’t need to fumble around with zooming your mouse towards every close-window button in sight. Nor do you have to ALT-TAB your way out of trouble. The cleverness of the foot switch means that you can be waving your hands over your head as a distraction before everyone looks back at your screen to see that Word or Excel Document you’ve been “working on all along…”


The Stealth Switch comes with a 6 inch USB cable and CD software. It is programmable to hide only what you want to, including browsers, Office Documents, download windows, instant messenger applications, video players etc. Just keep that intricate excel spreadsheet open in the background and you can suddenly become the most persevering worker on your team or at least make other people think you are.
