This allows the user to connect an external eSATA storage enclosure with up [...]
Gizmodo is reporting that the HP LX197 and EX490 will be released in Australia on October 22. Pricing will be at AU$ 599 and AU$ 899 respectively which seems a little steep considering you can get the EX490 in the U.S for under $550 (based on current exchange rates should translate to approx AU$ 600). No [...]
I am always on the lookout for media players to add to my Digital Home setup (whether I actually need them or not could be up for debate!). In June I came across an interesting media player called Myka. There appears to have been some bumps in the road that caused delays in the product [...]
About six months ago HP announced a new line of MediaSmart Servers labeled the LX series. The first model in the series was the LX195, a single drive atom powered home server. Well, it looks like HP is ready to update the series. Terry Walsh over at WGS has just discovered that there may be a [...]
