ThinkGeek Media Tank
Online retailer ThinkGeek on Wednesday listed the Media Tank. Billed as a way to consolidate all the external USB 2.0 storage attachments owned by some computer users, the Tank enclosure is large enough to hold both a desktop-class hard disk and optical drive, either of which is easily swapped out as drive technology improves. Regardless of the installeed storage, a 6-in-1 card reader is fixed in place alongside a USB 2.0 port for jumpdrives. A fan and heatsink cool the fully-laden case.
The multi-device hub works properly with both Macs and Windows PCs, and ships without a hard disk or optical drive from ThinkGeek on February 20th for $90. [via Everything USB]
