SteelSeries 7G Professional Gaming Keyboard

There are lots and lots of gaming keyboard nowadays on the market, with a lot of extra buttons, LEDs, or even backlit keys; SteelSeries decided to manufacture something different: the 7G preserves a classic look, the build quality is high, its very durable and has a large handrest to increase comfort during large gaming sessions or office applications. Because it has a classic layout, the time to get used to it is a matter of minutes.”

Sony Altus SA31iR Review

“iPod speaker docks provide a convenient way to bring your music collection to life without necessarily involving a large home entertainment system. You can place them almost anywhere, and they will fill that room with music. What they won’t do is follow you around as you move about your house, or simultaneously provide music both indoors and outdoors during one of your famous summer BBQ’s. For that sort of thing, you’ll need a wireless speaker system. Unfortunately, most wireless speaker systems for the iPod leave much to be desired. Their bad reputation stems from limited wireless range, less-than-great sound, and limited usability.”

Cirago USB Hard Drive Dock with Card Reader CDD1000 Review

“I’ve looked at many hard drive docks in my time, and most are pretty much the same, just a place to stick your hard drive to transfer files back and forth. Cirago has sent me over their new HDD dock that adds a bit more features to the regular plain dock, theirs has a built-in card reader and two additional USB ports as well. The additional features do make the dock more useful than the plain HDD docks that we’re accustomed to, with this dock you won’t need a card reader and USB hub because it’s all right there for you. Not a bad idea overall, but let’s see how it performs when I compare it to my Thermaltake BlacX Duet HDD dock. Read on… ”

Thermaltake SpinQ Six Heatpipe CPU Cooler Review

“The Thermaltake SpinQ offers a one-of-a-kind look, with 6- 6mm copper heatpipes which are chrome plated and curved into the 50 circular aluminum fins, each of which are slightly rotated for the spiral appearance which you can see better below. This is also a lightweight cooler, weighing in at 667 grams. The most unique part of the cooler is the 80mm blow-fan which is 85mm deep, and comes with a VR fan controller for on-the-fly adjustment. The VR controller is great if you use CPU-heavy applications but do not need the performance all the time; it’s all up to the user…”

Microsoft Zune 30GB Media Player Review

Quote: I have been using the Microsoft Zune for a little over a month now, and I am really enjoying it. I would not recommend it for those who want a super portable media player, but if you want to transport a fairly large collection of audio and video files with you, this 30GB unit can accommodate you nicely. I see it as a good choice for use at work, with a home stereo, or in a car.

Gigabyte 790XT-USB3

With the recent introduction of USB3 and SATA 6 Gb/s the 790X chipset was really showing its age. Today we have Gigabyte’s update to the 790X platform. This new board supports USB3. This drastically improves the transfer speeds of USB devices that use the technology. This also future proofs the board a little bit. Since AMD has just released their 890GX chipset, this seems a bit late.

Physically speaking this board is not that different from a 890GX. It supports DDR3 and USB3. Since this board is based on the SB750, the SATA 6 Gb/s interface is not standard. Thus this board lacked SATA 6 Gb/s support, but thats not that bad considering that unless you are going to use a SATA 6 Gb/s SSD the SATA 6 Gb/s interface is not that beneficial. This certainly makes the board an attractive buy for someone planning on using SATA 2 drives looking for USB3 support. Lets take a closer look at what else is on this board.

What’s the Next Big Thing in Entertainment after 3D

“With 3D coming to market aggressively, both in the movie theater and at home on 3D TVs, it got me wondering what was likely to be next. After listening to DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg speak on 3D technology the other day, it would seem that the real ramp for 3D will come with TVs that don’t require glasses. They should arrive at good price points sometime around 2018 to 2020, so we have a bit of a wait. Still, it is fun to break out the crystal ball every once in a while, and look forward beyond even that.”
