Below is a tape deck that slots into your drive bay on your PC so that you can play tapes on your computer. This is obviously an ideal accessory to convert all those antique tape packs of hardcore heaven, Dreamscape and the like to digital so that you can burn them to CD or encode to MP3! It retails for about $149.99, which is about £80 in real money. Buy it from http://www.thinkgeek.com

Records sounds, MP3 files, and internet streaming audio from PC onto Tape
Hi quality record/playback as Hi-Fi audio
Convert cassette tapes to into MP3 files
Full-logic controls
