Mini-Compressor for Paintball Coming Soon
21.02.10
Finally, some good news in the paintball. Tom Kaye, the architect behind the legendary paintball and AGD Automag paintball is back with my opinion, stopping the most exciting paintball in recent years. He announced plans to build a mini compressor paintball air flowing tension and a compressor shop cheap (only occasionally run) and will be able to refill the compressed air at 4500psi. The concept is straightforward - to create a low power, low cost pump that will fill the tank at high pressures over a long period of time.Current assumptions are that 68/45 could be completed in about 4 hours. While the slow filling time means that you can not fill a tank between sets, you'll be able to fill a tank at night without having to pay several thousand dollars the expected retail cost is $ 300 - $ 400 .
For those of you that use compressed air, you know how its reliability, consistency and ease of use make it the preferred (and sometimes necessary) to air for paintball competitively. You also know how difficult it is to keep your bottles full when C 'is not a professional field.This new compressor solves this ungovernable by allowing you to play (or Tinker) where you want and fill your bottles at home. With the expected expenditure of $ 0.05 per hour to operate, filling a tank now costs twenty cents - less gas Byway to a paintball field or store.

Hitachi SimpleTough 500GB
11.02.10
Purpose
There's a saying in backup circles that there's really only two types of hard outing. Those that have failed, and those that have yet to fail. We've seen it attributed to many sources, but no matter the novel author, it's still stunningly true. Hitachi's latest effort in the perceptible drive space is clearly aimed at the market sector that's suffered exotic hard drive failure previously. While most external drives ocean in seemingly solid cases, that rigidity is usually only skin difficult. Most rigid cases aren't that good at dealing with situations involving lots of moisture or hasty knocks. The SimpleTough takes the tank approach to this, both physically and visually. A caterpillar-shape tank tread runs the length of the base of this larger than mean external drive, but it's not just for show. It unrolls out to reveal a USB 2.0 paradigm A plug on a sealed cable. On the plus side, this means it powers from a unmarried USB cable. On the minus side, if something goes wrong with the USB connector, it's goodbye press.
