BitFenix Aegis Case Review

In the simplest terms, an Aegis is a shield of protection to the heart of the warrior that wears this protective armor. This is a very fitting picture of the theme of this case from BitFenix. The BitFenix brand made mini computing a cool and universal way of life for many builder’s taking advantage of the newer smaller and magnificent new M-ITX and Micro ATX computers that have the same relative power of its bigger ATX counterparts with the BitFenix Prodigy Line of machines. In a way they invented the way to put together full custom looped water cooled Monster and stuffed it nicely into a small chassis that not only worked great but looked even better. So many flavors and mods have been commercially developed for that little chassis that could and now the people at BitFenix are at it again with the BitFenix Aegis Micro-ATX computer case.

CoolerMaster Silencio 625S, Hear the Silence

Computer cases used to be hit or miss and you just had to buy a chassis and mod it for what you wanted. Now you can buy super towers, modular chassis systems, water cooling behemoth chassis and silent operation chassis like the Cooler Master Silencio 625S. The list of types of chassis you can buy grows with each year, thanks to the latest fads. Outside of being just plain beautiful, a silent chassis is probably one of the most sought after.

A quiet chassis has a lot of uses like shared dorm rooms, small apartments with people working different schedules or just a HTPC to keep distracting noise from interfering with your entertainment hours. Cooler Master’s latest offering in the quiet chassis realm is the Silencio 625S mid tower. Silencio is Spanish for silent, so the name implies utter silence and that should be the standard we hold to a case that bears the name Silencio.

Corsair Gaming Sabre Optical RGB Gaming Mouse Review

We have tried multiple titles (Heroes of the Storm, Dying Light, Dirty Bomb, CounterStrike Global Offensive) with the Sabre Optical RGB and we were pretty impressed with the overall comfort, which was matched by precision thanks to the latest Avago ADNS S3988 6400DPI sensor. The mouse was designed only to be used by right-handers and on the laterals we have an arched design for obtaining a good grip.

Dell Venue Pro 10 5055 Review

The question of classroom technology has been asked, without a substantial answer, ever since the days of fjording the rivers in Oregon Trail. While some companies make pledges to sell bulk amounts of well-built units at a discount, some argue that the best thing that can be done for the masses is to make cheaper-to-produce devices that can be sold at an affordable price.Enter Dell's new line of Venue 10 Pro tablets, which combine an updated Atom processor with all the standard requirements for modern computing. The 5055 model, as reviewed with Dell's Venue Keyboard and Active Stylus, will set you back $464 (around £310 or AUD $595), and is the spec'd out version of the educational set of the Venue product line. It features a larger hard drive (64GB rather than 32GB) and it's 10.1 display has higher pixel dimensions (1920x1200 as opposed to the entry level 1280x800). The bottom line of the budget may play the largest role when purchasing a computer for the education set, so I was pleased to see the 5055 come in at such a low price. Sure, Apple's iPad Air 2 is a mere thirty-five dollars more at $499 (£399, AU$619), but that's without the keyboard and stylus.

Fractal Design Define S

The Fractal Design Define S sports the same build quality and look as the Define family of enclosures, which we have come to love, but bears one very big difference: It is geared toward those building a custom liquid-cooling loop. With dedicated mounting possibilities for radiators, pump, and reservoir, the Define S shines where most other mid-tower cases fail by offering more than just a mounting possibility for pre-assembled liquid-cooling solutions.

Fractal Design Define S Review

Fractal Design is adding a new line of chassis to their product line-up, targeted at the audiophile and noise conscience end-users. With the S for silent the Define S series has been introduced. As such today we review the first product in that line-up, the Design Define S. A silent, stylish mid-tower chassis. This all pro-dominantly black and white chassis comes with plenty of cooling options, great design and it will house up-to ATX motherboards. This product is made with airflow and liquid cooling in mind to serve the more performance oriented PCs. You'll be excited about storage, style, USB 3.0 and low noise levels.

The new chassis has a couple of new features, and though being aimed at a relatively smaller form factor and silence, is can still house pretty much any radiator that is common for a high-end PC these days. I mean if you can mount radiators up to 420mm in the top and 360mm in the front, then that should be sufficient eh ? As such liquid cooling fanatics should not be disappointed. There is enough room left for pumps and reservoirs. The chassis comes with two performance but silent Fractal Design Dynamic GP14 140mm fans that are already factory installed, and that means good ventilation versus fairly little noise.

Inateck BR1001 Bluetooth Audio Receiver Review

In technology, there are distinct levels of needs for different devices. For example, when you start building a computer, there are components that are required for your build, such as a processor, a motherboard, some sort of storage drive, RAM, a power supply, and something to hold it all together. The quality of these items can vary, but these components are required to start your computer. Next are the gray area items, like graphics cards and third-party CPU coolers. While most computers can run without needing to purchase these additional hardware, they make your experience better and/or prolong the life of your computer. At the end, there are the nice to haves, like gaming peripherals, monitor arms, mouse pads, or fan controllers. You could provide a situation where all these parts are actually needed, but for the bare necessities, you can do without them. These parts are not like the processor or RAM, which you need regardless of the system you build. Thus, the real problem is in the final group of products. While the other levels are important components, the third group is targeted at a niche market. These non-essentials will only be purchased if manufacturers can curate a need for them, and if they can perform well. If not, people will not buy the product, or go elsewhere for their wants. Today's product is a nice-to-have in the Inateck BR1001. With this small device, you can add Bluetooth capabilities to any wired device. I can definitely see the market for a device, as it adds wireless streaming to all types of devices, whether it is headphones or speakers. So the real question is in its performance. Is this something everyone should have in their back pocket? These questions, and more, will be answered in today's review.

Linx 8 Review

When you think of cheap tablets, the undeniable truth is that you're probably thinking of a plastic Google Android tablet to keep your kids happy. If I had suggested just a few short years ago that buying a fully-fledged Windows tablet (not those awful Windows RT models) for less than £100 was even possible, I'd probably have been pointed and laughed at by all and sundry.How about if I suggested that this was now entirely possible with the Linx 8, which can be easily found for less than £90 (around $134, AU$173). Fortunately for Microsoft, the age of cheap, capable Windows tablets has well and truly dawned, and Linx's 8-inch offering is perfectly poised to steal a share from underwhelming Android alternatives like the Acer Iconia 7. However, it doesn't arrive at the cheap end of the Windows tablet party all on its own – there are a raft of alternatives such as the slightly more expensive, but equally unknown Pipo W2, or even the Argos MyTablet, which comes in even cheaper at only £69.99 (around $104, AU$135) – albeit with a few compromises.
