Link: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/642
Category: Reviews

Summary:
Spedo is the most recent full-tower case from Thermaltake, available in two versions. We reviewed the most expensive model, “Advance Package”, which seems to be one of the most complete steel cases in the market right now. Let’s see.

Here is a snippet:
“Thermaltake Spedo (notice that it isn’t called Speedo to not cause trouble with the sportswear manufacturer) is a new series of full-tower cases from Thermaltake. We reviewed the most complete model within this series, called “Advance Package”, which comes with seven 5 ¼” bays, six internal 3 ½” bays, six fans and a very interesting system to separate the case into different compartments in order to improve the internal airflow. Our initial impression was that this is one of the most complete cases in the market today. Let’s see if Spedo Advance Package lives up to our initial impression.”

Title: World’s Most Powerful: Wicked Lasers The Torch @ APH Networks

* Description: In today’s world, the term [electric] torch is often used
simultaneously with flashlight. But remember why torches were called
‘torches’ in the first place? Because these portable open fires have some
real burning power (After all, it does carry real fire and fuel) in addition
to, well, some lighting ability. On the other hand, a conventional flashlight
has practically zero designed fire power, as its purpose is to provide light;
and depending on what you have, most consumer units have a very poor range.
When I think of ‘torch’, Wicked Laser’s The Torch comes into my mind. Why?
It’s called The Torch for a really good reason — simply put, it can burn
things, and no, I’m not kidding. But unlike conventional fire torches, it has
nothing short of incredible brightness and range. Carrying a 100W bulb
powered by a massive nickel-metal hydride battery, anything within several
inches of The Torch will definitely begin to burn in seconds. Meanwhile,
other than its insane ability to transfer heat over short distances, The
Torch is also insanely bright with an amazing range. We’ll show you some
photos in just a moment. With a brightness rating of 4,100 ANSI lumens, it’s
roughly twice as bright as an average home theater LCD projector. They call
it The Torch world’s most powerful flashlight (As currently reviewed by
Guinness World Records) with a very good reason. Excited? We won’t keep you
waiting. Not excited yet? That’s also a very good reason for you to read on.

Brief:
In today’s market there are plenty of external hard disk enclosures to choose from, with a variety of colors, styles and features to set them apart. The Vantec NexStar 3i has some inherent qualities that definitely sets it apart from the rest. With fast read speeds and power saving features, read to find out more on how the Vantec NexStar 3i fares against the rest of the pack.

“StudioLine Photo Classic 3 Plus is a reasonable application for managing large digital photo libraries and optimising the quality of images, but if you simply want to organise and share personal and family photos without spending a lot of time editing them, ACDSee Photo Manager 2009 ($49) or even Google’s Picassa (free) are much more user friendly. These two tools don’t offer pixel-level editing capabilities, but they do provide easier, one-click corrections plus printing and photo sharing features. If you’ve read this far and fancy savouring some professional editing tools, turning a set of images into a slide show, publishing them to the Web as an online album, or even burning a CD/DVD or sending them to friends and family via e-mail, StudioLine Photo Classic 3 Plus could be just the ticket, but its interface is on the ugly side and it’s pretty text heavy. The sheer number of pop-up boxes proved annoying too. Professional photographers will, of course, rightly stick with Adobe’s Photoshop Lightroom (£211).”

AOCM 2 – Awardfabrik OverClocking Meisterschaft

“The weekend of the 25th October 2008, Geoffrey and I switched on the traveling mode and decided to pass the weekend in Minfeld, Germany. Why? Because of the 2nd edition of the AOCM overclocking LAN, of course! Meeting up with very talented overclockers from around Europe, we spent an entire day using LN2 cooling on various setups, as so did our fellow overclockers. World records and subzero cooled hardware inside.”

Quote from the review:
“Today we are looking at the MeWe Quad Charging Station. The device allows four Wii Remotes to be docked and converts them to rechargeable power with four new battery doors and four rechargeable battery packs.
The kit is rather large, but it works very well and is perfect for the frequent Wii user to keep their controllers charged.”
