Gotta Have Gadget

Crosley iJuke

For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted a Jukebox! Tracking down a real 45’s (if you know what that is) record jukebox is next to impossible, so I turned to my friends at Crosley Radio! Known for their audio products, I knew Crosley would have something cool. The iJuke® Premier is a desktop jukebox which has an iPod dock and CD player. With blinking neon lights, and authentic jukebox look, this not only would look great in any game room, but it sounds great as well. Listen to your iPod or favorite CD using the fully functional remote control. The iJuke® Premier is lightweight, so on warm summer nights I bring it out on my deck and relax to my favorite tunes. My goal is to find a spot where I can upgrade to a full size Crosley Jukebox! If you have that person on your list who has a cool game room or mancave and is impossible to buy for, check out www.crosleyradio.com and check out all their unique audio products.

You may think you are ready, but without the next two gadgets are you really ready?  If you are a fantasy football player knowledge is the best thing to help your game.  Everyone knows when a key player is hurt the rush is on to pick up their back-up.  Those who delay and wait for the scroll on regular TV are those who are usually way too late.  If you are building a Man Cave to watch the big games, you have to have the proper equipment.  The Man Wall is a MUSTS for the Ultimate Man Cave.  The Man Wall comes with a 42 Vizio Flat Panel LCD HDTV, THREE 26 Vizio Flat Panel LCD HDTVs, 100 Watt Panasonic 5.1 Home Theatre System, and a 7-Foot sports ticker with built in computer.  But what would watching the game be without your favorite beer?  Well the Man Wall has a built in Kegarator (keg size refrigerator) with tap!  To see the technical specs and everything the Man Wall has to offer, check out their website at http://www.hybridspacefurniture.com/the-man-wall/.  Now I ask again, ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL??

What man cave would be complete without a gaming system? I have tried just about every system out there, but when it comes down to my man cave there is only one, the Xbox360. It is pretty cool using the high definition Epson projector with the Xbox360. The high definition graphics look awesome even with a screen size of 120 inches. Playing games like Gears of War 2 and Call of Duty in high definition is simply amazing. Ive been absolutely hooked on Gears of War 2. I will have to admit; I am not as good as my son when it comes to Xbox LIVE, which is an on-line community for Xbox360 players. I log in through my network connection and get my butt kicked in 30 seconds, he logs in and kicks some butt. If I didnt know better, I would think he was up in his little man cave just waiting for me to log on. I often wonder if its some 8-year-old kid lighting me up on-line. I keep telling myself its a highly trained soldier. Its great to go down to the man cave and leave the stress behind while I am playing on my Xbox360. Read the rest of this entry »

When it comes down to watching your favorite sports teams or playing video games in your man cave, you could purchase a 60-inch high definition television OR you could watch them on 120-inches from the Epson 72 MovieMate Projector.I have a 60-inch high definition television in my living room, but let me tell you there is nothing like heading down to the man cave and watching or playing on 120 inches of an incredible picture.Taking up an entire wall playing Madden Football or watching a game is like being on the field.Dont have a lot of space in your man cave?Thats OK too as from only 6.5 feet away the Epson MovieMate 72 projector can still project over 80 of 720p high definition picture.The other nice thing about the Epson MovieMate 72 is it is very easy to set-up using an HDMI connector or standard RCA plugs.The built in DVD player makes it extremely easy to watch your favorite movie.Priced at about the same or a little less than an HD television set, I will tell you this is an attention getter when you turn this on and people see the picture quality.When playing a multiplayer game, there is no need to squint when two or four players divide the screen.There is also a computer connection, so if you have a presentation for work, you dont have to worry if there will be a projector there, just pack up the Epson MovieMate 72 and you are on your way.For all the Epson MovieMate 72 has to offer, check out www.epson.com.

First things first to have gadgets for a man cave; you have to have a man cave. If you need to build a man cave, your first stop should be at Lowes Home Improvement. Lowes is quickly becoming the official home improvement store for Gotta Have Gadget. Whatever makes a job easier for me is a Gotta Have Gadget. The Kobalt 1.5hp 26-gallon portable air compressor is one of those gadgets. The cool thing about the Kobalt 26-gallon compressor is it comes with 49-piece pneumatic tool kit. If you are building your man cave, why bang a hammer when you can use a compressor, impact wrench and nail gun? When using a nail gun, there is nothing more frustrating than using a small compressor and having to wait for the compressor while you are nailing. Read the rest of this entry »
