Review Blurb: “The Spyder3Express will automatically adjust the colors of your monitor to what they should be, I was amazed at the difference before and after calibration, I knew something was funky, but the Spyder3Express fixed it for me quickly and easily.”

Sandisk UltraBackup USB Flash Drive

Review Blurb: “They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and some memories are irreplaceable. Nowadays almost everyone saves their precious photos and memories electronically. So what would happen if your computer or notebook crashed and lost all that data? Thankfully, SanDisk has created a convenient USB memory stick that has the capability to backup all of our dearest memories and hopefully there will be no more worrying about losing those decade old pictures and priceless memories. There are many portable storage devices out on the market, so does the SanDisk Ultra-Backup Flash Drive have what it takes to compete?”

nMediaPC HTPC 8000 Wooden HTPC Case
Link: http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1114/1/
Review Blurb: “Recently nMediaPC added an interesting case to their HTPC line up, the HTPC 8000. The thing that makes it interesting is that it’s made of wood. I know I have never owned wooden case, or seen one that wasn’t custom built, so it’s different to see a wooden case as an off the shelf option. At 19.3(W) x "14.3"(H) x 11"(D) the HTPC 8000 is a bit on the big side for an HTPC case, but it can hold a full size ATX motherboard, full length expansion cards, and a standard ATX PSU. Before we get too far let’s look at the specifications of the HTPC 8000.”

ASUS Maximus II Gene Motherboard
Link: http://hothardware.com/Articles/ASUS-Maximus-II-Gene-Motherboard/
Review Blurb: “Although the Core i7 and X58 combo is a proven performance leader, there are still plenty of Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad CPUs out there in the wild. The Core 2 is still a very capable processor with many models costing less than half the price the cheapest Core i7 processor, the Core i7 920. Thus, systems based around the P45 chipset are still a viable option for getting good, if not great, performance at a vastly more affordable price.”

Steelseries 7G

Review Blurb: “We review a lot of peripherals here at XSR, and over the years we’ve noticed the growing trend of steadily increasing prices with gaming mice costing upwards of £50 now. Still though, they aren’t the most expensive input accessory you can use with your PC, with specialised keyboards getting close to the £100 mark.”

AMD Athlon II X3 425, 435 Processors
Link: http://ixbtlabs.com/articles3/cpu/amd-athlon-2-x3-425-435-p1.html
Review Blurb: “The idea of manufacturing triple-core processors, put forward by AMD two years ago prior to the first Phenoms, looks promising even without mentioning certain CPU models. Such processors offer a good compromise for the transition period (when a large share of programs cannot efficiently use quad-core processors). That is there is an opportunity to manufacture processors that will have relatively high performance in programs badly optimized for multithreading, and that can benefit from multithreading optimizations as they appear in programs.”

Asus Eee 1101HA Netbook Review

Review Blurb: “Today I am checking out the Asus Eee 1101HA netbook. The machine has a larger screen and keyboard than your typical netbook packs. If you like the idea of a netbook but want a larger screen and keyboard, the Eee 1101HA may be just what you need.”

SparkLAN CAS-673W Wireless Pan and Tilt MPEG4/MJPEG IP Camera
Review Blurb: “Home security/ monitoring has been a growing trend for quite a while now. With the drop in cost and the availability of Power over Ethernet, inexpensive high-bandwidth wireless and now low cost/high image quality IP based cameras, we can only assume this trend will continue to grow.”

OCZ XTC Cooler Rev 2 Memory Cooler
Link: http://www.xtremecomputing.co.uk/review.php?id=492
Review Blurb: “OCZ gives no attempts at hiding what is inside with the OCZ XTC Cooler Rev 2’s packaging, it is clearly displayed in all its glory. Whilst at this point I want to talk about the XTC Coolers brushed aluminium coating, I know I need to stick to the packaging. So, front side – is pretty simple, other than two logos and a very short product description, there is little to note on the front.”
