The term 'boombox' may conjure up huge shoulder-mounted radios with cassette tape players from the 1970s and 1980s. Logitech has updated the concept with its Squeezebox Boom to include Internet radio streams and Wi-Fi connectivity to enable you to stream music files from your computer as well. Today's roundup also includes a trio of power supplies from Tagan, OCZ and FSP targeted towards today's mid- to high-end systems. We also have a look at a new battery technology from Energizer with its Zinc Air Prismatic battery.
