AIO DRN-STN Review: A Gaming All-In-One With A 120 Hz Display

The AIO Drone Station is a combination chassis and 120 Hz FHD display, ready to take your choice of ATX motherboard, CPU, graphics cards, storage, and power supply. We'd stop short of calling it portable, but appreciate the appeal of a fast all-in-one PC.

The hardest part about getting to a LAN party usually isn't the drive, but rather the short walk between your car and wherever you're setting up. Even if you built a microATX cube to hold your high-end array of graphics cards, you still need to make a second trip for your monitor, and possibly a third for peripherals.

Some of those all-in-one systems are starting to look nice, aren't they? It's only too bad that most of them utilize proprietary components and are poorly ventilated, leaving little thermal headroom for enthusiast-oriented parts. AIO Corporation wants to provide the solution.

Gigabyte G1 Sniper Z87 Motherboard Review

Building a gaming rig isn’t all that difficult. You start with a proper motherboard for your application then add a processor and video card and away you go. The problem with this approach is you may not get the best efficiency from your hardware without adding expansion cards or compensating with more expensive parts.

Admittedly as enthusiasts we often look for motherboards that offer the most expandability because we want to run multiple graphics cards, custom network controllers and the best audio card money can buy. These are the things that make a good gaming system and just happen to be available on the Gigabyte G1 Sniper Z87.

In this review we will be looking at the new G1 Sniper Z87 from Gigabyte. Now before you say it, this is not the G1 Sniper 5. The Sniper 5 is the 4-way motherboard with a watercooled VRM and lots of awesome. As you can imagine lots of awesome costs money and can sometimes be cost prohibitive to gamers on a budget. The Sniper Z87 is a new version of this motherboard designed for the mainstream gamer market using the same chipset and core features.

Meze 11 Deco Earphones With Microphone

Last winter i purchased an jacket by Puma which up until recently i had no idea that the interior pocket is so small because it was intended to be used either with a smartphone or an MP3/MP4 player and to make things even easier for the person wearing it the guys over at Puma also placed a cord holder close to the neck. Of course Puma is not the only brand to have made such additions to their jacket line but i guess what I’m trying to say is that wired headphones and earphones are obviously much more popular than what some people think. Personally although I'€™ve used and tested dozens of models (some of which were really good) my quest for the one that will earn a permanent spot in my desk drawer is still ongoing. Meze is a rather new player focused in the manufacture of quality headphones and earphones and since all of us really like wood based ones we decided to take a thorough look on their latest 11 Deco Earphones With Mic.

MyDigitalSSD OTG (On The Go) Pocket SuperSpeed USB 3.0 SSD Review (256GB)

Two of the best things seen in recent external SSDS are the inclusion of SuperSpeed, along with the obvious massive reduction in size. Just yesterday we posted a report (http://thessdreview.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d9b6193ffd32dd60e84fc74b&id=01d78b95aa&e=1230c2ab07) of the EDGE diskGO SuperSpeed USB 3.0 flash drive where speeds of 449MB/s and 428MB/s were realized from a device the same size as a matchbox. Like the MyDigitalSSD OTG (On The Go) Pocket SSD we are reviewing today, the diskGO is UASP compliant with SuperSpeed, requires no external power other than the USB cable, and both qualify as being two of the smallest and fastest performing storage devices we have had in our hands yet.

Synology DS214SE Review

Synology offers a massive array of NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices in pretty much any permutation that you might imagine. There are DiskStations for the home and office and RackStations for the server environment. You can have between one and 106 drive bays (with expansion units), a choice of Gigabit and 10Gbe Ethernet, Wi-Fi and a host of processors that range from an ARM Marvell to an x86 Intel Core i3.

YOYOTech M-Cube WS Review

The 3D graphics workstation is supposed to be big, black and expensive, like the Green Hornet’s gadget car. But YOYOTech clearly hasn’t read that particular script with the M-Cube WS. The model we were sent was not only about half the size of the average workstation, but half the price and mostly red … although more sober colours are available.
