Century launches netbook dock with DVD Drive and HDD

Century has launched a Netbook Stand cooler that comes with a built-in DVD Drive an empty 2.5-inch SATA HDD bay (if your netbook doesn’t have enough storage) as well as an additional USB hub with two USB ports.

The stand connects to the netbook via an USB cable and is powered by an AC adaptor. The Panasonic multi drive is compatible with Windows XP and Vista only and supports DVD±R/+RW (8x), DVD±R DL/-RW (6x), DVD-RAM (5x) and CD-R/-RW (24x).

The size of the Netbook Stand measures 260 x 19 x 190 mm and weighs 524g, but given the tech inside, that’s probably reasonable. It only seems to be available in Japan right now and comes in black and white colours. The Century Netbook Stand retails for 9,980 Yen ($102 / €77 / £69).
