FakeTV Reviewed at TestFreaks

Review Blurb: “Being a burglary victim stinks. Besides the loss of one’s possessions there is also the sense of violation. As long as the thief knows a residence is empty they will take advantage of the situation. Home security systems are deterrents yet some burglars are brazen enough to break into a home with one of those. They just grab some small valuables and flee before any response from the security company”

Mionix Saiph 1800 Gaming Mouse reviewed at TestFreaks

Link: http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/mionix-saiph-1800-gaming-mouse/

Review Blurb: “The mouse is the tool we use for controlling our computers, yes the keyboard plays a big role, but the mouse is probably the most important part of it all really. If your mouse isn’t accurate and comfortable, you’re overall computing experience will not be a good one. Using a cheaply made mouse can be frustrating and downright annoying really, the same can be said for using one that is not comfortable or accurate.”

Review Blurb: “We have all found ourselves up at the most ridiculous hours of the morning trying to get in one last frag before we set in for the night. Sadly, running your notebook that hard for so long can cause permanent damage to the laptop. Thankfully over the years, many people have been investing their time and money into notebook coolers that make our extended “playtime” less painful and more enjoyable. Our friends at NZXT. made a very stylish notebook cooler for high performance notebooks. Hopefully the NZXT. Cryo S Aluminum Notebook Cooler works just as good as it looks.”

Antec Nine Hundred Two Gaming Case

Link: http://tech-reviews.co.uk/reviews/antec-nine-hundred-two-gaming-case/

Review Blurb: “The Antec Nine Hundred Two is a new, revamped version of the Nine Hundred. The original Nine Hundred was a great case but it wasn’t perfect. Antec have since looked at how they can make the case even better and have then implemented these improvements into the Nine Hundred Two. This means that the Nine Hundred Two has removable dust filters, external fan controllers (rather than internal) and the inside of the case has been painted black – in a similar fashion to the Antec Twelve Hundred. These improvements are just a few of the added extras. So has Antec managed to create the perfect gaming case this time round? Let’s take a look…”

Review Blurb: “Lian-Li has launched a spin-off company called “LanCool” that will deliver their unique designs at more affordable prices. They are doing this by moving away from aluminum and adopting the more traditional SECC steel used for computer case construction. LanCool has just a handful of products on offer at the moment, with many of them belonging to the “Dragon Lord” K series. Today we will be looking at two cases from this series.”
