Bluelounge SpaceStation

BL Spacestation STR17 Bluelounge SpaceStationThe Bluelounge SpaceStation is a new desktop organizer and “declutterer” that combines a 4 port USB hub and 6 sets of coiling pins for keeping your cables tidy. It is available with either black or grey top sections to add to its white lower section. In the box there is also an AC adapter to allows you to plug in multiple powered usb accessories and a paper holder. The paper holder fits in a slot near on the top and lets you to display papers upright. You can also place business cards and other small pieces of paper such as pictures in this slot.

I have been testing out the SpaceStation for the last couple weeks, and I would say that over all, it has made my computer setup way more organized and neat. I’ve enjoyed having all my cables nicely coiled up, and only needing to connect one cable for my iPod, Wacom Intuos tablet, Skype Phone and Bose Companion 5 speakers.

Overall I think the SpaceStation is a excellent product, and I would recommend it to all who like their computer setups nice and neat.
