Silverstone Raven 2 Case Review

Conformity in the world of technology is rare these days, each company aspiring to create their own unique solution to suit our computing needs. The majority of the time, its' a change that's as drastic as it is risky, and only appeals to a certain demographic. But every now and then, a revolution comes along that makes everyone stop and think, "Why isn't this the standard?" Silverstone has discovered such a design, exemplified in their new Raven 2 chassis, and has sent us a sample to see for...

Cyber Snipa Silencer Review

For the professional, there's one component of the gaming world that arguably stands out above the rest in importance. You can always disable anisotropic filtering and drop the resolution if you want to claw back a few extra frames each second, but the precision and effective "frame-rate" of your mouse will always be limited by the technology in which you invest. It's with this in mind that we now set out to put Cyber Snipa's latest offering, the Silencer, to the test. These fine folks from...

Verizon Wireless Palm Pre Plus

At the beginning of the month I posted my review of the Palm Pixi Plus from Verizon Wireless, today I have what you might call the big brother to that phone, the Palm Pre Plus. Overall the Pres Plus is a much better phone, it’s bigger and it just feels easier to use. The Pre Plus is a slider with a full keyboard that’s easy to use, the phone itself features a finger friendly navigation system that I quite like. So Read on to learn more… Read...

HIS Radeon HD 5570 1GB GDDR3 Video Card in CrossFire

The HD 5570 was an interesting model for me. Due to the fact it came out after the HD 5450, I didn't know exactly where the model would fit. Ok, yes I understand, it was going to sit in-between the HD 5450 and HD 5670, but was it going to lean more towards the HD 5670 which can do a bit of gaming, or was it going to lean more towards the office orientated HD 5450? It was surprising to see the model leant more towards the HD 5670. Sure, you're not going to run Eyefinity on the setup; but...

Thermaltake Element T Case Review

With a budget chassis like this, we can overlook some minor shortcomings due to the low price. There is room for lots of hardware in the Element T, with three big bays and six HDD mounts with a placement for a 2.5-inch drive. It is lightweight but sturdy while being relatively easy to work in.

IN WIN Maelstrom Full Tower Chassis

The Matrix was well over a year ago, and the X-Fighter some nine months later. The Matrix offered subtleties in both looks and the fact that it was tiny and attractive, while the X-Fighter was larger and is bolder in design. Both were well thought out cases in designs, but the X-Fighter offered a full line up of options and unique features. I hope all of this isn’t lost with IN WIN and they are still offering both to their customers. Today we are going to take an in depth look at the...

Razer Orochi Mobile Gaming Mouse

High quality gaming peripheral equipment is a speciality of Razer. In this article Razer brings us a new product, a first for its kind, the Razer Orochi mobile gaming mouse with both USB-2.0 and Bluetooth capability.

Kingston SSDNow V Series 128gb SSD Notebook Bundle

Today for review I’ve got the Kingston SSDNow V Series 128gb SSD, but it’s not just the drive I have as they sent me the Notebook bundle kit. The last Kingston SSD I reviewed was the 40gb SSDNow V desktop upgrade kit so getting this one makes a nice contrast to the other. These new SSD drives from Kingston are faster than the first generation and their main new feature is the addition of TRIM support now. It might be named the notebook bundle but the drive can be used fro anything as you...

Thinksound Rain Headphones / Earbuds

Today for review I've got a very high quality set of ear buds from a relatively new audio company called Thinksound. The ear buds or headphones are just called Rain, and what really sets them apart is not only the relatively low price but the fact that they're made of wood. Look around, I can guarantee that when you see a set of ear buds or headphones they're made of either plastic or metal, not wood. A good set of speakers for your home are made of wood, there's a reason for that, wood makes...

Today for review I’ve go another product from our friends at Geeks.com, it’s a monitor from a company that I’ve never heard of before, the company is Eizo, and from what I’ve seen so far they make some nice monitors.
