    Default Review: NZXT Bunker

    A new story entry has been added:

    [drupal=655]Review: NZXT Bunker[/drupal]


    Let's face it, we spend a lot of money on our hardware. From processors to video cards, technnology isn't cheap. This applies to peripherals as well as the core of a system. How many of us own a mouse or a keyboard that we wouldn't want to have to pay for again? The last thing we need is for one of our less-than-honest compatriots to walk away with them. NZXT has us covered with a new innovative add-on: the USB Bunker.

I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible, and when I leave you will finally understand why storms are named after people.”

    Interesting...what's the key like though? I mean, I've used a bunch of "locking" drivebays over the years, and almost all of them use the exact same key. If that's the case with this, that's just a fail waiting to happen. Kinda like those "locking security screws" that someone was trying to sell a while ago...that just relied on a special bit...that was the same for every set that they made..
    That we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours, and this we should do freely and generously.

    According to NZXT there are 20 different keys used with the Bunker, so the odds of another Bunker owner having a key that will open yours are... (carry the one, divide by pi, square that...) 5%.

    In reality you only need one key...A screwdriver. It looks like you could easily pry the door open.

    Yes I'm sure you could, but not without making a good deal of noise, thereby attracting attention.

    It's designed for both LAN parties (and other public outings with your gear) and commercial applications like offices and schools. Keeps the lazy thieves from stealing peripherals.

    I guess if your net admin is a noob. We use a simple Group Policy to disable the USB ports.

    Ok technically the GP doesn't disable the port... it disables the port from allowing any new drivers to be installed. They keyboard and mouse drivers are installed in the image. So only THAT keyboard and THAT mouse can be used on any of they systems.

    Which really doesn't mean anything to the guy that's stealing them.
