Tagan Icy Box IB-NAS4220-B Review
Bjorn3D look at the Tagan Icy Box IB-NAS4220-B.

Network attached storage. Storage that is attached to a network. NAS. Don't these words just send shivers up your spine? Is there anything more exciting in the world of computers and technology? Well, truthfully most things out there probably are more exciting...until now.

OK, so most of you probably don't go running to the local electronics store to check out the latest in network storage devices. I'm also guessing that a lot of you don't even think about owning one. I know I didn't - but that was before I received the Tagan Icy Box IB-NAS4220-B to review. Having owned several external hard drive enclosures, I've been perfectly happy with my single-drive boxes with pretty blue LEDs that easily connect to a single computer. After all, about the only use for an external hard drive is for backing up critical data on my PC, right? Not so, as I think you'll agree after taking a closer look at the latest Icy Box provided by Tagan.

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Review
Bit-Tech published a review of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

It's always a painful and futile experience to try reviewing an MMO. For instance, there are problems with credit cards and the inevitable fact that we forget to cancel the subscriptions after the review is done, therefore inadvertently charging a couple of hundred pounds to company credit card.

Most of all though, the review very quickly runs out of date as the game is constantly updating and how much anyone enjoys the game is massively dependent on the calibre of gamers they end up gaming alongside. That means you're going to have to take any conclusions we offer with a pinch of salt -- ok? Just so we're clear.

That said, //Age of Conan is a lot of fun once you get into it -- the proviso mainly being that you do have to make an effort to get into and jump over the initial few hours of boredom.

Game designers seem to be labouring under the impression at the moment that MMO games as a genre have only one aim; to topple //World of Warcraft as Lord of the Pings. To do this, they seem to think that you need a certain gimmick or hook -- PvR gameplay or genre blending MMOFPS action for instance. So far, that tactic doesn't seem to be doing to well -- so it's refreshing to see that //Age of Conan bucks the trend and instead focuses on creating just a solid and persistent world to play in.

//Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures doesn't bring anything hugely new to the table and the only real gimmicks it has going for it are the franchise behind it all and the fact that you can't take two steps without faceplanting into the second biggest pair of boobs you're ever likely to see. It's a fun and accessible RPG though, and on that front it can't be faulted.

Inno3D GeForce 9600GT iChill Hurricane Review
TweakTown takes a look at the Inno3D GeForce 9600GT iChill Hurricane video card

The iChill is one series of cards that I’ve really liked from the word go. Inno3D’s attention to detail by using only the best quality coolers and a good line-up of cards make this series really stand out when compared to what’s on offer from other companies.

Even so, the latest entry into the iChill series did carry with it a bit of a surprise upon opening up the box. What was that surprise? – Well, there’s only one way to figure that out.

Hiper Type-M 780W Review
Phoronix posted a review on the Hiper Type-M 780W PSU

Back in 2005 we had looked at the Hiper Type-R Modular 580W power supply. This was a unique power supply that had a modular cable design and had performed very well. Even the Type-R's packaging was unique, with the power supply arriving in a plastic toolbox. We haven't looked at a Hiper power supply now in almost three years, but today we are looking at the Type-M 780W from Hiper Group. This power supply is dual-GPU ready (including compatibility with PCI-E 8-pin connectors), utilizes active PFC, and has four +12V rails.

SilverStone Zeus ZM1200M PSU Review
DriverHeaven posted a review on the SilverStone Zeus ZM1200M PSU

The Zeus ZM1200M is the pinnacle of what SilverStone currently has to offer. SilverStone markets the Zeus as a workstation unit, something quite strange for a fully modular PSU, but with four 1200W units among their ranks it is understandable that SilverStone is trying to categorize them.

The Zeus ZM1200M is not a revamped version of the Decathlon DA1200 unit; its an entirely different design down to the core. It is also one of the very few PSUs which have six 12V lines, but it also has the ability to merge all six lines into one, manually.

Greetings once more, my good readers. We're continuing our magic theme here at jonnyGURU.com by taking a look at the NorthQ Black Magic 850W unit. This is my second encounter with NorthQ after reviewing the Giant Connector 850W not long ago, which you may recall that I gave high marks to. Will the Black Magic be able to ensorcel me into giving it as good of a score? We shall see. Meantime, let's all look at the box.

Kingwin Mach 1 1000w Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Kingwin Mach 1 1000w

With the ever growing technologies such as quad SLI and quad core CPU's; the need for more power also grows. However, not only have PSU manufacturers got the task of creating a power supply which pumps out plenty of watts, they've also got the task of making their units silent and aesthetically pleasing -- to compete with similar models on the market. One such power supply that boasts to do all this is the 1000W Kingwin Mach 1; let's see how well this beefy unit performs.

Logitech MX Air Cordless Mouse Reviewed
TheTechLounge posted a review on the Logitech MX Air Cordless Mouse

Logitech continues to innovate and redesign one of the most basic elements of computing: the mouse. I've been fortunate enough to have reviewed several of their offerings over the past few years and have been impressed with nearly all. It's been several months since I first received the MX Air, and my schedule has finally slowed enough for me to get some words down. Rather than give a detailed account of every last feature, I thought I would share a little about what life is like with this quality mouse.

Tagan has hit a lot of things right with the Black Pearl WCR case. From tool-less features to many small details for cable management, the Black Pearl WCR was extremely easy to work with.

Samsung SC-MX10 Digital Camcorder Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Samsung SC-MX10 Digital Camcorder

Digital cameras revolutionized the consumer photography scene and it seems that we are currently undergoing a similar revolution in the arena of digital videos. Up until now, most digital camcorders have been too expensive for the average consumer. With products like the Samsung SC-MX10 Flash Memory Camcorder, it just got a heck of a lot easier for Joe Public to transform into the next Steven Spielberg or Martin Scorsese. Oh, I guess you should have some movie-making talent before you can make that leap.

ASUS Rampage Formula Review
OCC has published a new review on the ASUS Rampage Formula

This motherboard was a breeze to overclock. To OC this board, I attempted to get the highest Front Side Bus that I could. After many different settings, the highest I could get stable was 470x7. This motherboard booted up at 500x7 easily, but Windows didn't like that overclock. I could get into Vista with 485x7, but it wasn't stable enough to run benchmarks. 470x7 is not a bad overclock at all in my book, but I was thoroughly surprised that this motherboard had no issues booting up with the FSB set at 500. The BIOS' "Extreme Tweaker" made it extremely easy to overclock the ASUS Rampage Formula, because all the options that I needed, and many more, were all conveniently located on the same tab.

MSI RX3870-T2D512E OC Videocard Review
HardwareLogic posted MSI RX3870-T2D512E OC Videocard Review

With both AMD and Nvidia readying a new arsenal of videocards, the real battle for GPU supremacy won't be fought until later this summer. In the meantime, gamers are enjoying attractive price points nearly across the board, and unlike days of yesteryear, enthusiasts needn't plunk down $600+ for a high end gaming experience. Remarkably, AMD's HD 3870 has nestled into the $150ish tier, unheard of territory for a higher performance part.
