Sure it might not be the most practical way to hold up your new MacBook, and it’s certainly not the cheapest way to do it, but the tower of MacBooks computer desk is the only way for a true Apple fanboy to use their latest toy. And it’s portable, which leaves plenty of room in your living room to hang your bicycle above your sport motorcycle. Don’t think we didn’t notice that, baller. (via 2dayblog)

Keyboard with a Plate in the Middle
A lot of people eat their computers anyway so creating a keyboard with a plate in the middle gives you one less reason to get up from your desk. Just open the pizza box (you’re eating pizza, right?) and put the slice right on your keyboard plate, open your Gatorade and it’s dinner at the desk. Definitely more hygienic (but not by much) than just resting the pizza right on the keyboard like you do now. When you’re done you can use the Gatorade bottle to pee in without getting up. Winning.

Train Shaped PC Computer Case
Check out this unique mini-tower chassis computer case from Taiwan-based Lian Li. No it’s not a homemade one of a kind case-mod, it’s actually a purchasable production piece. The computer, officially being called the PC-CK101, is in two parts, the car and engine.
Half the hardware is in the front, half in the back. It even has little train tracks and wheels and I think a little motor so you can glide it around on the rails. Yeah it can actually move. Not sure why you’d want it to, but it does. Check out the video to see what goes inside this computer:
It sells for about $229 for non-moving or $379 for moving with six sections of track. Clickthrough above for more specs if interested.
Google Android Mouse Pad
I’m not aware of any Android product that would actually require a mouse but nevertheless you can show off your fandom of Google’s OS with this Google Android Cloth Surface Hexcode Mouse Pad. It’s uniquely shaped just like the loveable little corporate mascot (thoughtfully researched and conceived to evoke just that feeling I’m sure… not that there’s anything wrong with loveable robot mascots, right Crazebot?!)
Rainbow Keyboard Stickers
Taste the rainbow. Or more accurately, type the rainbow. With the Rainbow Macbook Keyboard Decal, you not only protect your keyboard, you also awesomify it. Stand out in a crowd and customize the keys. Note that these are individual stickers for each key and not a single piece cover. Cool effect.
Light Up iPhone Charging Cable
It looks like something out of Tron. This Mutant Neon Blue LED Illuminated Light Up Charging Cable for iPod/iPhone/iPad flashes in a neon blue color when your device is charging. When you’re not charging or connected, it turns off. Simple as that. Fits Apple’s 30 pin connector and USB 2.0 ports. Very futuristic and cool. Dig it.
Celluon Magic Cube Laser Projection Keyboard and Touchpad
Turn any surface into a virtual keyboard with the Celluon Magic Cube Laser Projection Keyboard and Touchpad. The Magic Cube projects the laser image of a keyboard and detects the motion of your fingers. The Cube is smaller than a pack of cards and can run for 2 hours wirelessly (it also charges and works while USB wired).
The Magic Cube connects wirelessly to your computer, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Android phone or other device via Bluetooth without requiring any software or drivers to connect. It gives you a big keyboard in a tiny travel sized pocket device. It works as a virtual touchpad too for Windows devices.
Solar Powered Optical Mouse
Well here’s an interesting idea- an optical mouse with a solar panel on top. It makes sense since most mice run on relatively low power these days and sit unused for long enough to get a full charge just from the ambient light in the room. This mouse does have the option of running on a single AAA battery if you’re living in a cave, with a vampire roommate, or in Alaska during the Winter (or all 3 of those at once, which is my next idea for a movie entitled “Cold Dark Days”). Available for $36 from Brando.
Floppy Disk Coasters
Sure you could just actually use your old floppy disks as coasters (and did I really need to say “old” there?) but who the hell still has floppy disks lying around? Plus you won’t want any condensation ruining your data and not letting you install disk 5 of Sim City 2000. Not to worry because these Floppy Disk Drink Coasters are actually made of silicone but they look just like ye olde floppy disks of ‘yore. You can even use a sharpie to customize the labels. Just like your grandpa used to do.
