Azza Helios 910 Case Review

You would think the word Helios would be a misnomer, since it is associated with heat. The last thing any computer user wants is too much heat inside the case. On the contrary, today’s cases are primarily designed with cooling and ventilation in mind. So why would Azza call their latest case Helios?

Patriot Warp V2 32Gb Solid State Drive Review

Overall, solid state drives are the way of the future, as they are more compact, faster and much more resilient than the conventional HDD. The only thing stopping these drives from becoming more mainstream is the high cost per gigabyte of storage.

Razer Abyssus High Precision Optical Gaming Mouse Review

Introduction

Buttons, buttons, buttons everywhere! Mice with 18 buttons! Seriously, I'm not kidding. Remember the good old days where you had just 2? Or how about when you had just 2 and the scroll wheel? Ah those were the days. Now you have forward buttons, backward buttons, and a scroll wheel that can go in every which way. We have mouse 5 and mouse 6 to configure .... programs to bind macros to mouse 7 and mouse 8. How many buttons do you really need? How much stress can one hand take while trying to aim and move a character around?

Azza Helios 910 Case Review

Introduction

In Greek mythology, Helios is the God of the Sun.  He is described as riding his fiery chariot across the sky.  We see this heavenly event as the Sun traversing its path from east to west.  Therefore, it is no wonder the word Helios has become synonymous with our own fiery star at the center of our universe.

Introduction

Raise your hand if you like to get more, while actually getting it in a smaller package. Funny but true - with certain things you can actually get more and benefit from it being smaller than a previous version. This is very common with computer components where going smaller as technology advances actually increases the amount you receive. For instance, we have recently seen video card processors decrease in size, while seeing an increase in the streaming processors, which is a perfect example of less equaling more. Decreases in die size, due to technological advances, have made it possible.

Bioshock 2 PC Review @ Tweak Town
Written by Tweak Town

"For a game that was basically a classic style shooter on rails, BioShock really impressed the absolute hell out of me. With 'choose your own adventure' style shooters becoming more and more of a benchmark in the industry and with more and more PC shooters suffering from 'consoleitis, I was pleasantly surprised when the "spiritual successor" to System Shock 2 was released in Q3 2007, as it really brought good story telling and unique gameplay ability into focus, regardless of any influences the console versions may have had on the PC version. BioShock 2 will look to do much the same, as not a whole lot has changed, but fans of the original will appreciate some significant perspective changes to the storyline and the inclusion of online multiplayer is sure to pique the interest of the PC gaming faithful (even if it is only for a little bit)."

"Steelseries sent us their Siberia headset Version 2. Quite some time ago we looked at their first version which ended up being one of the most comfortable headsets I have tested in my life. Will this V2 live up to the previous ones, and have they fixed some of the flaws that the reviewers have pointed out?"

Latest News

China's quality control watchdog said an investigation into Hewlett-Packard Co showed the company had sold some faulty laptop computers, and ignored consumer protection regulations.  The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said in a statement on its website (www.aqsiq.gov.cn) that after consumer complaints, it had found several models were affected by defective video cards and display screens. Faulty video cards caused overheating, crashing of computers and black screens on some HP Pavilion DV2000 and Compaq Presario v3000 laptops, the report said. Six models including the HP 541 also had problems with their screens, the findings added. The statement did not say how many computers were affected overall.

"The Sentry 2 is one of the least expensive single drive bay 5.25-inch fan controllers on the market right now and it worked well in all my test situations. The Sentry 2 is easy to install and took under 15 minutes to completely setup. The LCD display is easy to read in normal lighting and looks really cool in the dark. The NZXT Sentry 2 gives you critical system temperature readings and the ability to adjust your fan speeds with a touch of your fingers. This is something that seems natural and it is likely that you will find yourself using this fan controller often. With summer coming up your house, dorm or office will be warmer and keeping your PC cool is critical in making sure you don't have a system or component failure..."

Patriot Warp V2 32Gb Solid State Drive Review
Written by Lewis Lau -eden999-

Introduction

In the past few years we have seen a number of solid state drives (SSDs) enter the market. In general, these drives have been extremely pricey, relative to the amount of storage you get. The Patriot Warp V2 tries to solve this problem by being less costly and by providing the same amount of storage as some of the more expensive solid state drives.  This drive also offers a reasonable increase in performance compared to the standard platter hard disk drive (HDD).

Vantec NexStar Vault Review

Introduction

We are in the age of computers and technology, and most of our important and precious information is kept in a digital format, rather than on physical matter. We have pictures, videos and documents that we need to keep safe and secure. Heck, I just bought a house and most of the documents that were transferred had to be scanned into the computer and emailed. With the rise in identity theft, and even physical property theft, there needs to be a location that we can store all of this sensitive information without worry.

Thermaltake V3 Black Edition Review @ Overclockers Online
Written by Overclockers Online

Affiliate News

"Objectivity speaking, Thermaltake has designed a good performing chassis at a great price point. Obviously, this chassis isn't for everyone, but for its intended market it is a great value. When you factor in the cost of additional fans, the price point will raise from under fifty dollars to somewhere around sixty five dollars for a properly equipped chassis. Still, the build quality and overall design are a testament to the value of this chassis. I'd happily recommend this case to anyone looking for a good looking case at a modest price point."

Asus Radeon EAH 5870 1GB Video Card Review @ ITShootOut

"Aside from cost and availability there is little to differentiate one Radeon 5870 from another. They all use the same Batmobile-inspired cooler; offer almost the same bundle and identical clock speeds. Asus is aiming to change that by offering a feature unique to its own brand of cards – the ability to tweak the GPU voltage without a need for hardware modification. Today we are going to be evaluating the card’s overall capabilities and testing to see just how much of an advantage this unique “Voltage Tweak” feature provides when overclocking."
