AXIS Network Document Server 70U

Advantages: Fast excellent buld and drivers
Disadvantages: Price

...Recently Ive become involved in an armature computer games event which means my computer is oft used for high peen LAN games I felt it might be worth increasing the network speed a bit by upgrading the network card. Generic Network interface cards (NICs) seem to have taken over recently however I always have a soft spot for 3com's card the 10/100 3c905 range was the among the most stable fast range of PCI interface cards ever I thought I would try out the new breed of card.

Advantages: saves time manual scanning
Disadvantages: a bit noisy and quite expensive

...This document feeder is a handy product which currently costs about GBP160 to buy. It is cheaper in the US at $199. WHAT IS IT?

Advantages: Cute,Compact,Attachable
Disadvantages: Weak signal,Very expensive

Fortunately i discovered linksys sells a universal game adapter (part number WGA54G),the adpater is also pc compatible,why isnt the xbox adapter pc compatible?Anyway,the linksys has an omni antenna and yes its removable to get a better omni.The signal is 5 to 15 times...
