CES Picks and Pans: PC Stuff, Too

(edited for space)

Tower of power: I don't usually wax enthusiastic about power supplies, but JDI Technologies has something in its GoldX PowerCore System. It features a 56-watt power supply in the $40 base unit and USB, USB broadband, Ethernet, and FireWire adapters in separately available modules (prices range from $25 to $70). The idea is both to save space and upgrade your power supply easily when your technology changes. --Anne B. McDonald
