Posted on the July 19th, 2008 under Product Reviews by Kristofer

TechwareLabs has published a review of the Gigabyte – ODIN GT 800W Power Supply. Here’s a clip from the review:

Quote: Dan adds even more bling to his POLICE rig with the addition of the Gigabyte ODIN GT 800w Power Supply. This 80 plus PSU comes with an optional speed, temperature, and wattage guage that looks like it would be right at home in the dashboard of a Ferrari or Mustang. See how far we were able to bury the needle on the ODIN GT in our review.

Sans Digital MS2UT+ Black RAID Enclosure

” As readers of ASE Labs, you know that I have always said that it is very important to have proper backups and have redundant storage. While we have seen the MS2UTN+ from Sans Digital, this new model contains a LCD screen to easily setup and manage the unit. It is really amazing what a two line LCD can give you in terms of piece of mind. ”

Briefing: Nowadays, not many people know how to really take care of their computer. Some assume that the computer looks after itself and that nothing will go wrong.  Well after time, without any love or care your computer will slow down and stop doing the normal things that it used to be able to do without effort.

LapLogic W800 Aerogel Extreme @ APH Networks

* Title: LapLogic W800 Aerogel Extreme @ APH Networks

* Description: When I go shopping for a digital audio player — in which the last time I did so was January 2007 — the brands that come to mind initially are only a handful. Although I lately turned to listening to music in my car while driving, I still enjoy using one once in a while just in case I needed to take the bus. Not to mention that my car has an audio input that I can use my digital audio player anyways. That said, the digital audio player brands that really come to my mind initially are nothing much more than the occasional Apple and Creative. I have a Creative Zen Vision:M that I purchased back then, which is an excellent player that I still enjoy very much to this day. On the other hand, when Nextar contacted me and introduced me to their T30 4GB digital media player, it really brought about my interest. I have to admit I have never heard of them before, but they promised a “sleek and stylish” machine with the T30 that can not only play WMA and MP3 files, but also offers a large 3.5-inch LCD for photos and videos. With 4GB flash storage capacity, it all comes in for only MSRP $99 and available in retail stores such as Wal-Mart. How does that sound to you? We’ll see about that.
