Today for review I’ve got a rather large printer from Epson, it’s a business printer named the B-510DN.

SilverStone Fortress FT02 Computer Case

Some years ago, Intel tried to move beyond the ATX "Advanced Texchnology Extended" motherboard standard with a new design layout called BTX, for "Balanced Technology Extended". One of the main reasons for doing this was to improve the cooling of motherboard components. The new design called for new cases as well, and although a few BTX systems and cases were produced, they never caught on.

Siig has sent me over their Wireless-N USB-Pro Adapter for review and it’s not a bad little product overall. In addition to...

StarTech USB 2.0 and DisplayPort KVM switch review

The rear of the switch naturally handles all of the connectivity, starting out with the power input on the bottom left-hand corner of the unit.  Next to this we find USB ports to allow for both a USB keyboard and mouse to be attached, as well as a USB hub for any other USB 2.0 devices you may wish to switch between two PCs.  Next to those A-type USB connectors are a pair of B-type connectors for connecting the KVM to the two PCs you wish to switch USB devices between.
