First of all, ASUS has installed Intel's Atom D525, the new dual-core hyperthreading-enabled 1.8 GHz CPU, first presented at this ye...
Review of the Canon PIXMA MG8120 All-in-One photo inkjet printer. So here we are again with another printer from Canon for review. Last week I had the MG6120 All-in-one, today I have the MG8120 All-in-one photo printer. There's some slight differences between them like the 8120 is physically taller,...
Netbooks are growing up right before our eyes. When they first surfaced, the screens were in the 7-inch range. They then grew to a norm of 10-inches and today the 12.1-inch netbook is fast becoming one of the most popular sizes on the market. These machines have more screen space and perhaps more im...
Review of the BitFenix Colossus full tower PC case. Being a pre-production first offering from a new company, I was impressed with the Colossus and BitFenix. The Colossus's design and build is nice, solid, and laid out well. I really like the SofTouch coating; it has a very different look and feel t...
BitFenix may be a new brand but their first product has landed. The Colossus case is so large that you simply cannot miss it. It is packed to the rim with new and unique features, which make you wonder what we did without them before. We take an in-depth look at the retail version of this massive EA...
For those of you who haven't heard of BitFenix since Cameron introduced them to us in his video in May along with his early postings since Computex, climb out from under your rocks for a minute or two and prepare for what you are about to see. Cameron has had early access to all the build stages and...

Review of the In Win Dragon Slayer micro ATX mini tower PC case. The Dragon Slayer from In Win is a very nice little case. The metal mesh front and side panels give it a nice look and allow for good air flow. With the Dragon Slayer falling in the 75-100 USD range it's got a fair amount of cases to c...
The Thermaltake Element G VL10001W2Z is an interesting case in their professional series that appears to be built for gamers - it is apparently what the G stands for. It is as though it has a dual-personality mild-mannered, professional and quite conservative appearing by day, Element G transforms i...

Review of the ASUS SBC-06D1S-U External Slim Blu-ray Combo Drive. Last year we took a look at ASUS's first external Blu-ray combo drive, the SBC-04D1S-U. It was the perfect external combo drive for a laptop or desktop and received a perfect 10 out of 10 score in our testing. ASUS has updated the SBC...
The Motorola Droid, is no doubt a popular phone, now we have the Droid 2 running the Android 2.2 and some beefier specs. It very much resembles the original Droid in design, and I can understand why nothing changed much as it was a good design. What changes were made were for the better, like a larg...
The Medis earphones have a very different design than most other earphones. The design requires the pads to be selected to fit your ears or else they will not fit very well and be very uncomfortable. The idea is pretty good as the earphone design pushes the sound toward your ear canal. In reality, t...
The NetBox-nT330i barebone from Foxconn is an interesting product for those that need a very small media center PC, which can be also used for office applications or browsing the internet; its performance varies depending on what 2.5inch HDD/SSD and DRAM you decide to use with it.
Samsung is following in line with this trend of offering a smartphone with a name that tends to evoke great expectations with its Captivate smartphone. As one of four smartphones in the company's Galaxy S line of devices, the Captivate boasts of a number of compelling features including a 1GHz proce...
