Next up in our series of iPhone case reviews is the OtterBox for iPhone - Defender Series. OtterBox is well-known for offering extremely rugged, often waterproof cases for everything from laptops ...

ATI's HD 2600 XT is a pretty nice card. It plays games acceptably well, consumes a negligible amount of power, and has flawless video acceleration. It's my first choice for the mainstre...

I've said before that the HD 2600 Pro should be passed over in favor of the XT for anyone who wants to play video games, or the HD 2400 XT for people just interested in having a discrete graph...

First, I must admit that I have a hard time not comparing the LG Voyager VX10000 to the iPhone. I’ve owned an iPhone for six months and am very happy with it, but to be blunt, the two phones ...

A few days ago I got the LG Voyager mobile phone, and I've played with it for a little while now. So far it's been a mixed bag. There are some standout features; however my expectations w...

AMD's 690 chipset doesn't stop turning heads. The way it was introduced, as a low-priced alternative to Intel, with budget trim and no enthusiast options, belittled its raucous performan...

The K9AGM2-FIH is still a decent-performing, good-looking motherboard, but, in the end, it breaks no ground and makes mistakes that cause its mundanity. It serves as an example for what not to do ...

Although not the first of its kind, with overlapping, curved lines and a reflective metal-flake finish, it absolutely makes a show of combined elegance and stature. The black is accentuated by chr...

Mushkin has been on the enthusiast scene for over a decade, and consistently produces memory at better timings and higher clockspeeds than the majority of competing memory manufacturers. Their dev...

People who have used Razer products rarely have ambiguous opinions about them. Nobody ever picked up a Diamondback in 2004 and said, "As far as input devices go, it has buttons, and wiggles a curs...

OCZ plays the high-end game almost exclusively, and has innovation and performance marks to back up the company’s rep. Given all that, their Platinum series is about as vanilla as they scoop...

With the recent $200 price drop, the Apple iPhone is a bit more reasonably priced for average consumers. With the holidays quickly approaching, the iPhone is sure to be a hot gift. And with those h...

If you're in the market for a decent set of earphones (or canalphones) and have done a bit of research, you have likely heard a thing or two about Future Sonics' Atrio series canalphones....

As a keyboard snob, I have to preface this with a forewarning: I hate ergonomic keyboards. I find that they tweak my tendons (or don't tweak them enough) and muss with my muscle memory. They...

Mice are a critical, yet lower cost component of your high performance PC. A cheap $9.99 mouse might not be able to get you very far in your quest to become the champion of your favorite game. Sand...

The TiVo HD is the mainstream consumer Series 3 TiVo. At $300, the device is more palatable to consumers who balked at an $800 price tag. The box has a smaller hard drive than the original Series 3...

Good RAM wouldn't be good if it didn't have rows of flashing lights under its heatspreader. Wait, that makes no sense. RAM is good when it, and, therefore, your computer, blazes. It sh...

We're getting into the hardware reviews something fierce, and now is a good time to start a series of memory articles. Let's begin with the basics: DDR2-800. Also known as PC2 6400 RAM, ...

I've said it before: the 8800-series cards are great. They are heavy-hitters in the gaming world. They are well-built and very quiet. And, even though they've been available for some t...
