?SteelSeries have a established themselves a fine reputation as a solid producer of quality PC gaming peripherals, so as I review this mouse I have high hopes for a product which does exactly as it says it will at a high level. The Steelseries Kinzu optical mouse, described as being ?in a league of its own? with regards to reliability and stability, can be picked up for the relatively low price of £21.

?One of the biggest pains of traveling is going through security. I hate having to always take my laptop out of my bag. Usually my bag is stuffed with gear so its always a struggle to get it out without something getting into the way. Lately we have seen many companies come out with ?checkpoint safe? laptop bags that make it so you don?t have to take out your laptop when going through security. The thing about these bags is that they are noit attractive at all. This is where Speck comes in with the CorePack Fly bag, which is available in 2 very attractive colors."

?With the ever-growing popularity of USB devices, whether they are internal or external, there never seems to be enough space for all of your devices. The NZXT IU01 USB Expansion module has the capability to expand your internal USB devices by taking up one slot and giving you six in its place as well as two external USB ports. With its own power drawn from the power supply, your motherboard will be taxed less as well as giving your external devices more power for a more reliable performance.

Today I will be reviewing one of their newer products, the ?DiskStation DS210j? which is primarily intended for use in home networks. This product really has o ton of interesting...

Roughly a month ago we brought you an early preview of the OCZ Vertex 2 Pro SSD. This uber-fast product was supposed to be part of a new series of drives based on controllers from start-up SandForce. However, as we recently learned OCZ decided to scrap the Vertex 2 Pro altogether due to the high cost of its SF-1500 controller, and instead shift focus to the originally announced Vertex 2 and Vertex 2 EX.

No, not el cheapo as in cheap and crappy necessarily but el cheapo as in cheap
and very affordable. The just unveiled Nokia C5 will be available in the second
quarter of 2010 (including the MEA market) at an expected retail price of
just under AED 700.

"For this review I will be looking at another new power supply from our friends over at Nexus. This power supply is similar to the power supply I looked at recently but this version is modular, the unit I will be looking at for this review is the 530watt RX-5300. Being a big fan of Nexus power supplies, having looked at a few before, I expect nothing short of rock solid, and I am pretty sure I won?t be disappointed.

"Today we take a look at Masscool's MP-1370S "Media Mate" high-definition media player. For us, Masscool is not exactly the first name you think of when you look to buy a HD media server, but the company has been in the business of designing and building HDD enclosures and media players since 2000. The Masscool MP-1370S is designed to not only be a media player that can access your favorite multimedia on your local or remote hard, but users are able to use the player to record to an attached USB device or an installed HDD. Priced at a very economical $100, it supports playing of video up to 1080i resolutions through an HDMI port and includes room for an 3.5" internal SATA hard drive so that you can load up all your favorite multimedia. Even if you don't install an internal hard drive, the MP-1370S can connect to your local internet via the 10/100 Ethernet connection..

Just over two years ago there were only five companies involved in Solid State Drive technology, and as of January 2010 there are nearly 140 names in the business. Without doubt, the SSD market has enjoyed a powerful growth period with relatively painless consumer acceptance. Benchmark Reviews has been on top of the SSD scene since retail products were first introduced at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show. Based on the Marvell 88SS9174-BJP2 SSD processor, the Crucial RealSSD-C300 becomes the industry's first SATA-6G consumer Solid State Drive. Likewise, the C300 is also the first SSD to use ONFI 2.1 synchronous NAND flash. In this article, Benchmark Reviews inspects the Marvell 88SS9174-BJP2 SSD processor rated for 355/215 MBps read and write speeds.

When Intel launched its Westmere-based line-up this past January, one of the more interesting models released was the Core i3-530. The big reason was its budget $120 price tag. But if there's one thing that can make a budget chip interesting, it's overclocking, and fortunately, there's huge potential where this chip is concerned.

"We've already reviewed a power supply from the newcomer Amacrox (Free Style 85PLUS 650 W), which proved to be a product with an outstanding cost/benefit ratio. Let's see if their Free Earth 85PLUS 650 W model is also a good buy."

Most people should have heard about the ease of use that the
Netflix streaming service provides. One of the major components of this
ease of use would be the set top boxes that provide the service on TVs.
Roku was the original and is still the best way to get streaming Netflix
to your TV, right now.

Storage is going solid state and the move to acquire Silicon Systems back in March of 2009, was a very deliberate course of action for WD that spoke clearly about their intentions. We've heard rumblings of offerings forthcoming from WD's primary competitor, Seagate, as well but today WD makes it real with their new SiliconEdge line of SSD products. We've taken a 256GB SiliconEdge Blue drive out for a spin, or perhaps lack thereof, and have our impressions posted on the pages ahead of WD's first foray into solid state drive technology...

was impressed with the Gladiator Max's performance. While not being
the #1 victor, it wasn't far behind, and was without a doubt standing far
above any of those it defeated. The performance could still be increased by
using a high performance thermal paste, so that is definitely something to
keep in mind if you're looking to squeeze a little more juice out of it.
