Today I'll be taking a look at a set of ultra-portable iPod nano speakers from Altec Lansing, the inMotion iM500. And I really mean ultra-portable; this thing fits in my pocket (looks quite strange...
iPod here, iPod there, iPod iPod everywhere! Unless you live in a cave (how are you reading this?) or you've just come out of a coma (congratulations), you've certainly witnessed the veritable onsl...
What company first comes to mind when you think about NVIDIA video cards? Chances are you're thinking of either BFG, XFX, or EVGA. In today's review we'll be taking a look at an overclocked 7950 GT...
I love music. It helps me focus, fuels creativity, and breaks the dull silence in my isolated working environment. A long time ago I reviewed Logitech's Z-680 5.1 Computer Speakers. I quite liked t...
The Christmas shopping season is nearly upon us, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that ATI would choose now to launch a new mainstream video card. ATI's Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB PCI-Express video c...
For weeks now there have been rumors swirling around the great intarweb about ATI's upcoming high-end video card refresh "“ and today is the official launch date. The Radeon X1950 XTX (R580+)...
Back in January, I wrote a preview of ATI's top-of-the-line X1900 XTX. At the time, our main focus was seeing how much of a difference there was between it and the X1800 XT it replaced. It wasn't u...
After over a month of benchmarking 11 video cards in 8 popular games, we've learned exactly how each card fits into the mix. In our testing XFX's 7900 GT XXX Edition performed extremely well. Based...
I can't imagine there are many real enthusiasts out there who haven't yet heard of BFG (which stands for Big F***in' Gun if you didn't already know that)! they're pretty popular amongst gamers and ...
ATI launched their X1800 GTO the same day that NVIDIA launched 7600 GT, attempting to keep the 7600 GT from gaining too much of the mid-range market share. What's interesting about the X1800 GTO is...
For the X1800 GTO preview back on March 9, I only had time to run 4 cards through 3 games. I've been benchmarking around the clock until just last a couple weeks ago and now have 11 cards to compar...
In terms of architecture and features, the X1800 GTO is identical to the X1800 XL with the exception of the pipeline count: rather than 16 pipelines, it has 12. The product placement for the GTO is...
The 4 cards that are being launched today are part of ATI's new X1900 series. From top to bottom, there is the Radeon X1900 XTX, Radeon X1900 Crossfire, Radeon X1900 XT, and All-In-Wonder X1900. It...
I'd like to answer one question that I think many amateur and even some professional photographers have. What kind of performance can you expect in a real-world situation from various Compact Flash...
Antec has seemingly spared no expense with the P180. It was made very clear to us during our meeting that the primary goal for all of Antec's new cases was to be as quiet as possible. A number of t...
Because of size constraints, you may not be able to fit an exceedingly high-end system into the case. By the same token, it likely isn't a good idea to do much overclocking in order to avoid overhe...
Today ATI is announcing the X1000 series and launching three video cards: the X1800 XL, X1300 Pro and X1300. In this preview we will discuss the architecture of these new cards, new features, and o...
We were able to get our hands on an XFX GeForce 7800 GT, and although we are not yet able to do a full review on this card due to time constraints, we have managed to test the card enough to get a ...
If you're in the market for a case that comes in under the $100 mark, consider Cooler Master's Centurion 530. This case boasts features such as stealthed drive bays, top I/O ports, potentially grea...
As gamers and geeks alike, often times we find ourselves getting wrapped up in the exciting world of high-end video cards and forgetting about the more budget-oriented models. However, unless you'r...
In today's world, technology plays a big role in all of our lives. We depend on it daily to do our work, to talk to our friends and family, and to kick back and whoop some arse in Counter-Strike. W...
Cooler Master did a wonderful job with the design of this case. If you're as fed up with pre-mod cases as I am, the simple, flowing façade of the WaveMaster will be a breath of fresh air. Cooler M...
ATI has released the Radeon X800 XL with a whopping 512 MB of memory goodness. Improvements are great, but what does this really mean for gamers? Are there tangible benefits to be had by simply dou...
The 6600 GT has 8 pixel pipelines, a core clock speed of 500 MHz and memory clock speeds of 500 MHz (1 GHz DDR). Also worth mentioning is that the memory on this card is DDR3 and it also SLI capable.
The X600 XT has 4 pixel pipelines and operates at 500 MHz core and 370 MHz (740 MHz DDR) memory speeds. At present, the X600 XT is pretty much a middle-of-the-road offering. Above the X600s you hav...
If you're in the market for a high-end PCIE card, your options are ATI, or... ATI. Although NVIDIA has officially launched the 6800 series of PCIE cards, you would be extremely hard pressed to actu...
Lately the market has been so saturated with cheap-looking, pre-modded variations of classic cases such as the Dragon that, quite frankly, it disgusts me. I know I'm not the only one with a bad tas...
The DX7440 features 4x Optical Zoom, 4.0 Mega-Pixels, and of course, Kodak's EasyShare functionality. In addition to the Automatic modes, you will also find PASM functionality, allowing for greater...
What sets the M3 apart from the rest is its size. This is currently the smallest and most light-weight HDD-based player in its class on the market. JetAudio has wowed us in the past with their CW30...
The Raptor not only packs 400W of power, it looks damn good too. The construction quality is top-notch, which is reflected under the hood with good organization and neatness. While this helps to p...
While the T5400 system most definitely isn't your solution for listening to music, if you're looking for something that will sound great when playing DVDs or games in 5.1 without ruining your budge...
These speakers definitely look to pack a punch. In addition to THX certification, it has an integrated Dolby ProLogic II decoder, several inputs for most audio applications, a control center, wirel...
This VGA cooler is known for its extremely quiet operation and oversized heatsink which spans both sides of the card. How will the Zalman Heatpipe VGA cooler compare to the stock cooling of an ATI ...
The DX6490 boasts 10x Optical Zoom, 4.0 Mega-Pixels, and of course, Kodak's EasyShare functionality. One of the great things about this camera is that it is as easy to use as any point-n-shoot came...
This player is very different from any other MP3 player on the market because it boasts MP3i compatibility. MP3i lets you embed photos, lyrics, text, and more within a standard MP3 file. Is MP3i th...
If you have invested money in an expensive display, why not make better use of it? Perhaps the best thing about the N6 is the fact that it lets you watch TV AND play your favorite console games on ...
The mouse (MX700) remains unchanged in the Duo version, but the base is a little different, and of course, now there is also a wireless keyboard. I have high expectations for the Duo, but will Logi...
The EZ-8000 has twice the features as my Microsoft Multimedia keyboard, looks better, and costs about the same. size of this keyboard may present a problem for some, as it is over 17" wide.
The NXP-301 is not only stylish and unique, but it works great. It lets you control fans on three channels, with multiple fans on each channel, and you can control two included cathodes on another ...
Unfortunately, the Musketeer lacks purpose. Although it looks cool and may get some compliments at a LAN party, it really doesn't do much of anything, or at least anything useful.
Not only does it look nice, it is also lightweight and compact. Sports 3.2MP, 3x Optic Zoom, Digital Zoom, & MPEGs. This is a point-n-shoot camera which produces excellent images.
The player is compact, easy to use, packed with features and accessories, and it looks amazing. The CW300 can also be used for data storage. The player's only flaw is its max capacity of 512MB.
If I had to choose one of these I would pick the black one (CS-5018SNFS-BBS). I personally like how it looks better, and it costs ~ $30.00 less. Good quality budget cases that look great.
Perform best when playing DVDs or playing games on Xbox. The speakers didn't sound bad when testing the PS2, but I was disappointed in the digital "5.1" performance, which seems to be the PS2's fault.
It not only looks great and cools well, but it is lightweight and it elevates the notebook's rear which makes it easier to type. Fans are pretty quiet.
Although it is made of high quality materials and looks great, I couldn't recommend it to hardcore gamers or to anyone who uses their computer as much as I do. If you don't live at your desk, this ...
This case brings style and functionality into the budget-case world. The silver color of this case looks great, especially with the shiny steel fan grills and the blue LED fan installed in the window.
The fact that you can plug in your USB / Firewire / Audio devices in the front of your computer combined with the triple temp monitoring LCD makes this product a winner.
Overall this is an outstanding case that offers some great features, excellent quality, and silence! The sideways removable internal 3.5" drive trays are great for swapping hardware, making it as e...
I think it looks pretty nice, but some may think it is "blah." The airflow in this case is badly designed meaning you will have unnecessary heat, which is never a good thing. This is a budget case ...
Overall this is a great case packed with great features such as the tool less drive installation, removable cages, and a top I/O port. Athenatech even goes as far as to include a power supply.
Overall this is an outstanding CPU cooler. It performs better than the roaring Volcano 11 and looks cooler, sporting an innovative blower design. The 3.5" mount simply won't mount, but CoolerMaster...
The price is fair for this product, but the fact that you have to invest in a router as well as the NeverWire units makes it not as affordable as other solutions such as wireless.
With an average temp of 1°C cooler than Ceramique, OCZ Ultra II is a great thermal paste. This paste is not electrically conductive and gives 1°C cooler temperatures than a leading competitor (AS C...
If you are looking for top-of-the-line speakers, keep looking. But if you are looking for a decent set of speakers that won't put a huge dent in your pocket book and still sound okay, consider these.
Overall this is a decent product that doesn't really compete with other USB drives. For just a couple of dollars more you can purchase a Pen Drive with much better performance and USB 2.0 compliance.
Whether you intend to use the Icemat for the office, gaming, or both, it will fulfill your needs and/or fantasies. This mousepad offers style, customizability, and most importantly, functionality.
Overall the Pen Drive is an outstanding device and the optional base makes it a convenient solution for your data storage needs. You can purchase a Pen Drive with up to 2GB capacity.
Comes with excellent headphones, rechargeable batteries, and has awesome skip protection. If you are looking for a player that can play standard CDs, MP3s, and FM radio, you can stop looking.
Has more features than most other 3.5" devices available on the market. A brighter display, improved durability, and a different knob/button configuration would make this product better.
Overall this is a great product that provides an ideal solution for hardcore gamers or frequent LAN-goers. The quality of construction could have been a little better, but for the price I can't com...
I expected to receive a bag full of plain old stickers, and instead received some quality appliques with great installation instructions and a handy plastic card for smoothing out bubbles as you ap...
If you have the ability to mount fans via screws in your case, these fans are great. Whether or not you have UV senstive components in your case does not matter because the fans themselves are UV s...
This case comes with plenty of fan mounts, toolless PCI installation, side-facing hidden 3.5" bays, I/O interface on the top of the case, and a stylish design that will make all your friends jealous.
This mini-tower far exceeded my expectations. This case could be better with latched cages and a motherboard tray, but for the price it simply can not be beat. This is a great case to use for the h...
This fan controller did everything I expected it to and more. The fact that I was able to turn all my fans down to 5v was great. This product looks great and works great.
When the cathode tubes were being manufactured, they made sure to leave bubbles in the glass. They look great, but don't expect something that will light up a dark room, it is simply for a cool eff...
I bought this mouse at a local BestBuy and I must say I have been very impressed with it in every way. It has superior tracking and picks up slight movements, has some cool extra functions, and loo...
These are excellent fans that not only keep your case cool, but they keep it looking cool as well. The fans create a perfect balance between looks, airflow, and noise, and this is why I like them s...
The biggest problem I had with this product was that it never mentioned any compatibility issues. It did not fit on my Ti4200, but it did on my TNT2 Vanta. If your card is compatible, this is a goo...
I bought this joystick about for one of my favorite games, BattleField1942, and I have used it a LOT! It's got everything you need from a pan-hat switch - plenty of programmable buttons - throttle ...
This mousepad is well known amongst the gaming community for boosting headshot counts by 150%. Okay, maybe that's not completely true, but this mousepad is most definitely an improvement over cloth...
