TechwareLabs reviews the Enermax Aeolus, a laptop cooler named for a god of winds. Take a look with us, as we see if it produces a gale, or just a faint breeze.

Rogue Warrior was announced two years ago and Bethesda held an event in Las Vegas which I attended - war hero Richard Marcinko was there to detail the game development and to show an early level. The title showed a lot of promise, offering an almost Rainbow Six style experience which relied on tactics and teamwork as well introducing Demo Dick - the temperamental main character whose experiences formed the foundation of the game.

The Saboteur is a new third person action game by Pandemic Studios and focuses on the exploits of Sean Devlin, a moody Irishman who has to deal with the Nazi occupation of France. This is a revenge story set during World War II and is actually surprisingly good.

It may seem like a given that personal data should be kept secure, and for the most part, achieving that goal on a home PC isn't too difficult. But, what about a thumb drive? Kingston's DataTraveler Locker+ is designed in such a way that if someone ever finds your thumb drive, they'll never be able to access the data. Ever.

"The Xigmatek Balder SD1283 is an HDT tower that features stunning aesthetics with polished finishes, along with a great price. It is also Socket LGA1156-capable for your new Core i5/i7, as well as LGA1366, and AMD AM2/AM3 compatible. That is a very attractive combination for consumers, so let's take a closer look at the Xigmatek Balder and see how well it performs during testing."

"Robust storage is starting to become a hot item. Just recently Cameron tested the A-DATA SH93, a water and shock proof external USB drive. Many years ago I was the first to test Corsair?s Flash Voyager and while testing I boiled the drive in water on my stove and then froze the USB thumb drive in the freezer. I can?t claim that I have ever ran into a situation where I found myself in below freezing temperatures for an extended period of time, or in a hot tub with my portable storage, but at least I am prepared for when the time comes.
Today we are taking a look at the SimpleTOUGH from Hitachi, an external USB drive enclosure that is made to handle the abuse power users, rock climbers and friends over to play some Modern Warfare."

I knew the Lexa S would be a strong performer the moment I laid eyes
on it. With the inclusion of 4 case fans, NZXT gives its customer a good
start on the road to cooling. NZXT has fired off a new case once again, and
has hit several consumers with a myriad of attractive features alongside
powerful performance.

Today we are reviewing another of the cases from
Thermaltake's Element Series. This particular case is the mid-size
Element G, and it has a list of features that is to large to mention
here, but suffice it to say that this is one of the best ventilated
cases we have ever reviewed.

"Every so often camera makers decide to strip a few features out of a popular model, lower the price-and like throwing pasta on the wall-hope it sticks-or in this case sells. Enter the Olympus E-600, a modified version of the popular E-620. Both are 12.3-megapixel D-SLRs offering 2.7-inch swiveling LCD screens, Live View, in-body image stabilization and 4 fps shooting."

"It might have been called the Bold Mini had it been born in Cupertino, but those logical Canucks at RIM stuck to numbers. The BlackBerry Bold 9700 takes the stylistic cues and capabilities of its flagship Bold 9000, and scales them down to a more pocket-friendly form factor. The result: BlackBerry bliss."

Today we have a new Roccat product on our test bench, they sent us their latest mouse that they named "Kova". This mouse has some cool features, it doesn't need software
as all settings are done by pushing specific buttons. It also is made for both left and right handed people which I think will attract alot of users if it performs well.

We took a look at two futher mainboards with AMD 785G chipset: The ASRock M3A785GXH/128M and the ECS A785GM-M are among the cheaper
products with ATI Radeon HD 4200 graphics. Worth buying?

"Thecus brings a lot to the table with the N0503 Combo NAS. You have the choice of using up to five 2.5" drives or up to three 3.5" drives for storage, and the new, more polished AJAX-based web interface is a step in the right direction. All the familiar features are here too including the media server, print server, web server, and a myriad of other functions that are all customizable for your particular needs."

The Spire Slide Pro is an enclosure which offers simple installation in form of a hard drive tray. It also comes in all different flavors for both IDE or SATA drives and features a backup functionality. It is priced about 2 Euros cheaper than any other enclosure on the market. Did Spire remove crucial features?
