Case Mod Friday: Nuclear In Nature

Welcome to another Case Mod Friday showcase! This week we have Oz Modz's  "Nuclear In Nature" build. Here is what he had to say about it, "My latest project 'Nuclear in Nature' is all finished. I used the In Win S frame as a great foundation and tried a variety of new painting techniques to really bring out the textures and grittiness."

Cooler Master MasterBox 5 Computer Case Review

Happy Canada Day! One hundred and forty nine years ago, the Constitution Act, also known as The British North America Act, was signed, creating the nation of Canada. This Act established Canada as a self-governing country, and at the time joined the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and the province of Canada, which was Ontario and Quebec combined. Being born and raised in Canada, I can honestly say I am quite fortunate to reside in this country, and there are a lot of things I take for granted. Since I am a second-generation Canadian, I asked my parents why their parents wanted to immigrate to Canada. Both of them responded with the fact Canada, when they moved, was a very accepting nation. The idea of being a Canadian still meant residents could keep their own culture and heritage. I can say this is true to today, as observed in many households. Despite being away from the "origin" country, everyone accepts and embraces these sort of differences too. We still have our own culture and way of living, but in the end, we can identify as Canadians too. This sort of thinking is quite similar in today's review of our Cooler Master MasterBox 5. We have seen customization approaches in the past from Cooler Master, including more recently the MasterCase 5. Falling in line with Cooler Master's "Make It Yours" campaign, the MasterBox 5 is now available for less than the MasterCase 5, while still boasting the same modularity. You might have already read our first look at this unit, but today we have our full review. What kind of internal layout and features will we see today? Read on to find out!

Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless Earbuds Review

It seems that lately more people spend their free time either running or working out at the gym and although i do go running outside from time to time i don't really have much free time so to that end i have installed a treadmill and a home gym at the office to try and keep in shape (spending 10+ hours per day on a chair is never good for your health). Unfortunately from what people tell me it's still not easy for them to find sports headphones that not only offer crystal clear sound with deep bass and complete noise isolation but also stay on no matter how fast they go or how hard they work out. Personally i don't think it's very easy to have all of the above from sports headphones (besides audiophiles will most likely not enjoy listening to music while running or working out) but I’m always looking for something like that myself and it seems that Jabra might have delivered with their latest Sport Pulse model.

Jabra is the brand of GN Netcom, a subsidiary of GN Store Nord A/S (GN) - listed on NASDAQ OMX. Jabra employs approximately 850 people worldwide and in 2011 produced an annual revenue which amounted to DKK 2,106 million. Jabra is a world leader in the development, manufacturing, and marketing of a broad range of hands-free communications solutions. With a reputation for innovation, reliability, and ease of use that goes back more than two decades, Jabra’s consumer and business divisions produce corded and wireless headsets, plus mobile and in-office speakerphones that empower individuals and businesses through increased freedom of movement, comfort, and functionality.

The Jabra Sport Pulse wireless earbuds feature Bluetooth v4.0 connectivity (10 meters range and support for A2DP v1.2/AVRCP v1.4/HFP v1.6/HP v1.2) with EDR (2EV3), SCO (HV1/HV2/HV3), eSCO (EV3), NFC (near field communication) sniff mode and secure pairing mode. Under the IP55 certified (dust and water protection) housing of both earbuds (also offer passive noise reduction) we find two 6mm dynamic stereo drivers that feature a max input power of 5mW and a frequency response of 20Hz-20KHz with 94dB sensitivity and 16 Ohm impedance. Jabra has also used an integrated MEMS (MicroElectrical-Mechanical System) microphone for answering calls that features a frequency range of 100Hz-8KHz with 14dB sensitivity and a lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack that gives the Sport Pulse up to 5 hours of music playback. The really impressive feature of the Sport Pulse however has nothing to do with all of the above but rather with the integrated biometric in-ear heart rate sensor which can provide invaluable assistance to people who work out. So on paper at least the Sport Pulse does seem to be one of the most advanced set of wireless earbuds around and it's once again up to us to see if that's really the case.

Samsung CF591 Curved Monitor Review

Samsung hopes to bring curved displays to the masses with its 27-inch CF591. The monitor has an MSRP of $349.99 and is discounted in Samsung’s online store (and others), dropping the price to just under the $300 mark. Even without the discount though, the CF591 is one of the more affordable high-end curved displays, though it’s not the cheapest one currently available. But Samsung hopes that it hit the sweet spot here by combining tempting features with a low-ish price.

Curved monitors certainly look cool, but display makers have had a tough time making convincing arguments that they’re necessary...
