Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Review
|
The freezer 7 Pro from Arctic Cooling has what it takes. Up against a couple of high-performance coolers that were newer, bigger and much more expensive, the little Freezer 7 Pro held its own. Some consumers might overlook the Freezer as being dated and no longer competitive. That would be a big mis...

Thermaltake V14 Pro Review
|
The V14 Pro is a redesign of the Thermaltake V1 we reviewed back in December 2007.

Since then, Heatpipe Direct Touch HDT coolers have emerged ...

|
Zaward Gyre ZCJ010 CPU Cooler Review
|
Being new is much different than doing new. Zaward's Gyre CPU cooler is new in action. The cooler features HDT, but that is hardly anything fresh at this point. But what is innovative is the design of the cooler, how it operates and the extent of engineering that went into the fan. By the time we fi...
|
Scythe Zipang CPU cooler Review
|
While the Scythe Zipang isn't broken, its abysmal thermal performance combined with a Hulk-like rage inducing fitting procedure and a price tag steeper than Nvidia's stock decline make this one of the worst coolers we've looked at in recent memory. It fails on almost every criteria on which we judge...

Samsung LN-T4681F 46 Inch 1080P LED Backlit LCD TV Review
|
At first I thought there is no way that LED technology can make up for the cost difference when compared to a standard panel lit LCD TV. Boy did the LN-T4681F take those thoughts, write them down on a sheet and paper and shred them to confetti right before my eyes.

It's certainly seems expensive on the surface but in actual fact it's quite a bargain compared to other 4-disk NAS drives worth owning.
