For $20, the Scout webcam is worth the purchase. It takes good still shots, decent video, and has a built in microphone. Its small size makes it ultra portable and I would have liked to see Cyber Snipa include a carrying case. It stays put when clipped onto an LCD monitor but can also stand on its own. For basic webcam functions it works great.

A while ago Razer released the Tarantula gaming keyboard. It received great reviews and everyone I talked to said they really liked it. Razer has a new line called Razer Pro|Solutions. All of the Pro|Solutions products are more focused towards the consumer crowd. Today we are taking a look at the Razer Pro|Type Keyboard, which is based on the Tarantula gaming keyboard. What's most noticeably different is there is an iPod dock right in the center of the keyboard. Actually it's the world's first keyboard with an integrated iPod dock. So let's take a look.

Nvidia have held the GFX performance crown for quite some time with the extremely impressive 8800 GTX, so when they announced the "Ultra" a few weeks ago the general consensus was they had yet again pushed the envelope further, albeit with a huge price premium. Everything considered, there will always be a market for these high end cards and with this in mind XFX sent us their new "XXX" Ultra for review, with further improvements on the core, memory and shader clocks. As AMD's graphics card division are yet unable to supply an answer to the older GTX, the Ultra is certain to push the two companies high end products even further apart. With such a high price tag on the Ultra our graphics card guru Stuart "Veridian" Davidson will not only measure the cards real world gaming performance on XP and Vista, but will ascertain if the card is ultimately worth the money.

The Ideazon Reaper is a very unique mouse with a cool red Ideazon logo, which is sure to attract some attention at dark LAN parties. Due to its shape it is unsuitable for left-handed gamers. Right handed players will find the mouse to be quite comfortable and the software is solid, with a fair amount of customization features. This all makes for a good alround gaming device.

This motherboard is perfect for overclock: no hardware mods are required to have the best performances from cpu, ram and graphic card. Even if the chipset (Intel p965) used on this motherboard isn't very recent, its performances are very close to the Nvidia 680i. The price is around 168?, really interesting, considered the outstanding performances.

We don't normally publish reviews on networking hardware and other peripherals unless we have thoroughly tested the product internally for some time and find it to be truly great or a product that is simply a disaster. Today we have the SMC SMC2870W 802.11g Wireless Ethernet Bridge. This wireless bridge is capable of turning any wired networking device into a wireless node and can also act as an Internet Access Point along with a built-in 802.11b/g repeater. What category of righteousness does this product fall into? Well, for Linux users, the SMC bridge is falling down.

Even while ATI fans crow over the new Radeon HD 2000 series of graphics cards, many R5xx-based cards are now being sold at discounted prices. One, the Radeon X1950 GT, was recently created to offer a graphics card that would offer really good value for money. Join us today as we take a look at the Sapphire Radeon X1950 GT and see how it fares in the new Windows Vista operating system. This will show us just how much value there is in such cards.

The Noctua fans presented today are reasonably priced, and excellent value for the product that you get. The design benefits are obvious, with the resulting lack of noise paying testament to the high quality work and testing that Noctua has been able to produce. If you want quiet fans, then look no further, because the Noctua NF-S12 and the Noctua NF-R8 are the best.

I know the DS lite has been out for a long while now, but I really never had the chance to play one for a long period of time. I'm not a real big handheld gamer, more or less because I don't really travel that much and I'm not out a lot for me to have free time to play handhelds. Back in November I received a Sony PSP to review on ThinkComputers. I really liked it and thought it was really cool. I picked up a few games and it served me well. Sad thing is I haven't touched it since my trip to Las Vegas in January. Maybe it's the lack of good games, I mean there are a few good games (Lumines, GTA, etc), but you can only play those games so much. So after thinking about it I went ahead and sold my PSP and went out and got a Nintendo DS Lite. I really could not justify having 2 handheld systems, and with the announcement of Sim City and amazing screenshots from Zelda Phantom Hourglass I had to get a DS Lite.

NZXT is well known for producing some very high quality components. The Adamas is constructed of 3 mm thick sheets of aluminum and only utilizes the best in materials and some very innovative engineering. A price tag of just under $200 US Dollars demands this quality as well as high expectations on compatibility and the installation process. We take a close look at every aspect of this case to let you know if it is worth it.

Shown previously at CeBIT 2007, GeCube's dual GPU graphics card is finally ready for the market. Featuring two Radeon X1650 XT processors in CrossFire, this is not your ordinary mainstream card. Read on as we check out its build and performance.

The Cooljag Falcon 92-Cu is identical to the Falcon 92-AL heatsink, except that it uses all copper fins where the later has fins of aluminum. Both versions use a 92mm fan that is internally illuminated with a couple green LEDs. To minimize the noise produced by the fan spinning unnecessarily fast, it is thermally controlled by a small thermistor that senses case air temperature.

The Dell 30" UltraSharp 3007WFP-HC LCD replaced the old 30" display that carried the same model number, minus the "-HC" designation. The new display has the same gray-to-gray response time of 12ms but improves upon the color gamut that the screen can reproduce, hence the -HC (high color) designation of the new screen.
