Whether you’re hosting a LAN party or you just have an ass load of video game consoles to power, there is one peripheral that is more important than all the rest: the surge protector. With the circular design of the SmartSockets Table Top, you’ll not only be safeguarding yours (and your LAN buddies’) electrical equipment with 1500 joules of protection, but you’ll also prevent clutter. Well, so long as all the wires go their own separate ways.

Still worried about your gear? For Amazon’s price of $47.02, Kensington offers a $50,000 connected equipment replacement warranty. C’mon Kensington, buy me my next computer. Please?

The next time you participate in The Great American Challenge, make sure you’re properly equipped. Shotgunning beers can get messy and if any foam gets in your eyes, it’s game over. Stay prepared with these beer goggles. At $25 and $50, it’s a small price to pay for the eyewear of a true champion like yourself. I’m sure the babes will love them.

This setup, dubbed “Mauritian Sunset ” by UK-based artist Sandy Smith, is made up of a ton of old, obsolete computers and monitors. Together they create a wall-sized installation that produces beautiful colors that resemble a “sunset” of some kind.

Want to see what it looks like from behind? Hit the jump for wires galore.

Here’s a “Pro Gaming Table” that is supposed to be awesome for people who never leave the house. It can hold your thousands of dollars worth of equipment with ease, ensuring that you’re never going to have “issues” whilst raiding in World of Warcraft come the release of that new expansion pack. And by “issues,” I mean running out of Lean Pockets.

Found on the second floor of the Hotel Pennsylvania. A group of hackers were selling old phone equipment and patronizing me for taking pictures. I’d rather be a photographer than a group of fat fucks selling old junk!
