This is funny. I spent all last week looking for the same thing. Anyway, this is what I found. You can find it for a hundred bucks on ebay. Here is a site that sells it with some cool shots. Specs:

2 x SATA drives
Raid0/1
Firewire
Usb 2.0
eSATA
LAN (Yes this is a NAS box too)
Active cooling (fan in the back)
Hotswap caddies

All you guys, even engadget got it wrong! Did you even watch the video before commenting? This is not a tool for lonely men; it is a tool for lezbos who cannot find a date! I noticed right away in the pic. Noticed what you say? The "guy" in the picture is a "girl". Check the wire coming from the headset... Do you see her chest? Those are obviously small buzzungas. Then if you just check the video clip you'll see right away that the researcher is a woman. Anyway, I just wanted to point that out.

And what does the last line say? Last updated in 2005. So it is safe to assume any split in 2006 would not be factored in.

Just look at the chart history. There is a vertical line from ~70 to ~30 near Nov 2006. That's a stock split.

Developing a next-gen game today costs millions upon millions and to reap the benefit most publishers must release the game across multiple platforms. To do this as cheap as possible they cannot dramatically change the game between platforms because that will simply add to how much the game costs to produce. So that kind of begs the question then right? If the PS3 and 360 are similar in power, there is no point in owning both if identical games will come out for each system, right?

Also, how much would it cost for a developer to utilize all 7 cores in the PS3 for creating a game? What I mean by that is, many developers have said how much (100x fold at least) harder it will be to design a game for multi-core cpus (and we're talking 7 cores here)... And once a game has been optimized for all 7 cores (which won't happen for probably 4-5 years) the game probably won't play on the 360 due to lack of power... So here is my theory: Third-party developers will continue to make games for both systems and never take advantage of the multi-core technology on the PS3 because it would prevent them from releasing a playable version on the 360 and thus reduce their profits. However in-house (or very tight-with-sony) developers will eventually take advantage of the PS3's 7 cores and the games will end up looking slightly better than the 360 but this will come at a cost to the developers and they might not break a profit since so much was invested into development.

My point is, we've reached a point in the industry where it's cost-prohibitive to develop a game for multiple systems AND have the games look dramatically different between those systems. So the result is you will have the same crap coming out for both the PS3 and 360 while having virtually zero visual difference in the game.

Don't need that one if you're like me and have two MS Natural Pro's still in their boxes packed away. As for this OLED keyboard, meh, I'm not imporessed. It's a great concept and I'd love to have it but they went the logitech route and chose form over function. See what the actual keyboard looks like. It just doesn't look comfortable.

Plus, I love natural split keyboards. Why aren't there more of them? Since they don't make Natural Pro's anymore (probably the stupidest decision microsoft ever made), the next best split keyboard is here: http://images.belkin.com/F8E208-BLK/STD1_F8E208-BLK.jpg

While it doesn't have USB, it's (1) black; (2) split key; (3) the keys are springy like those old IBM keyboards; (4) only costs $24 http://www.costcentral.com/proddetail/Belkin_ErgoBoard/F8E208BLK/151237/
