Primera Bravo SE Disc Publisher at ExtensiveMods.com |
|
December 30th, 2006 - Earlier this year I did a review on a CD/DVD burner/printer from Primera called the Bravo II Disc Publisher seen here is more suited for business applications. Today I have a new piece of hardware from Primera that is targeted more for home or small office applications, the Bravo SE Disc Publisher. Will the Bravo SE perform as well as its older brother? Hang around and see if it burns up the disc and makes it look purdy at the same time.

Thermaltake TMG A and TMG I Review |
|
December 29th, 2006 - To round up stuffs, we would say the TMG A2 and I2 aredefinitely quite some performer for their price. Though the design isquite normal looking and pretty common, Thermaltake managed to round outits new TMG series of products, advertising them as they should work,and it definitely is so for the TMG A2 and I2. Packed in solidpackagings, come with a few case badges, silent and good enough to cooldown processors decently thrown in some overclocks and quite somevoltage, not to mention it is actually very easy to be installed,Thermaltake had once again hit the market with some good products. Ratedto be priced around 33USD to 38USD over some international online salessite, the TMG A2 and I2 is certainly something worth putting attentionon for enthusiasts.

Zalman Super Thermal Grease ZM-STG Review |
|
December 21st, 2006 - Overall, the Zalman ZM-STG1 is not the best thermal paste inthe market but having it in the market gives end users options. However,we find that our current favourite thermal paste, the Arctic Silver 5,to be quite effective when directly compared towards the ZM-STG1.Anyways, the ZM-STG1goes for about $10 / RM35 while the Arctic Silver 5is sold at $6 / RM25. So, the ZM-STG1 is slightly expensive than thebetter performing Arctic Silver 5, but we suspect this is mainly due tothe fancy packaging and glass bottle that the Zalman comes with. TheArctic Silver 5 is no doubt the better choice when it comes to thermalpastes and we have been getting great results with it for the past twoyears.

Razer Tarantula Gaming Keyboard Review |
|
December 13th, 2006 - The Tarantula is one step ahead of any other gaming keyboardin the market and it is truly a next generation keyboard. Razer did agreat job with the Tarantula and everything from the top-notch packagingto the software was impressive. The high-glossy keyboard surface makesthe Tarantula appear as the one of the nicest and shiniest keyboard inthe market, but this also means that you have to take good care of thekeyboard to keep its shinny condition. The keyboard features built-in32Kb memory which allows to store up to 5 Synapse profiles on thekeyboard itself. Software installation was not necessary to get theTarantula alive but Razer did put quite a lot of effort in crafting thesoftware as much as they invested into building the keyboard.

Logitech G5 Laser Mouse Review |
|
December 13th, 2006 - In the gaming arena it is often that the fastest one wins. Even with a rocket launcher versus a machine gun; if you''re the latter and remain quick enough to evade the blasts while firing away, you''ll most likely be the victor. What has been realized by gamers around the globe is that wireless peripherals increase response time by a few milliseconds thus handing them a disadvantage. The G5 is a wired, laser mouse intended for gaming (as the G-Series motive is) and while it may appear like many other mice with a tilt wheel, laser engine, 2000dpi on the fly sensitivity switching, and a few other things, the G5 has one completely new element: weights. Yes, customizable weights that you can rearrange to fit your fancy for gaming or whatever your chosen application may be. Will this make a difference in gaming? We''re not sure; we''ll need to experience it to believe it. Lets get this show on the road and see if the G5 is a gamers best friend or a trash bin camper.

SilverStone ST5EF-Plus-SC PSU Review |
|
December 7th, 2006 - The power supply looks and feels like the high-end brothersand everything is kept within the black theme. It also features a silentrunning 120mm fan which stayed pretty silent under heavy loads. Inshort, this is the power supply that you should be checking out if youplan to build a decent HTPC or SFF rig. The cables were short andperfect for any chassis that does not have much space for cablehiding/routing. The overall build quality was top notch and for $90, wedidn''t expect such exceptional package with the ST50EF-Plus-SC. Therails held up pretty well as the +5V and +3.3V showed exceptionalstability without any fluctuations.

NVIDIA GeForce 88 GTX Review |
|
December 5th, 2006 - The GeForce 8800 GTX is clearly targeted towards widescreenusers and you might end up wasting your cash if you plan to run it below1280x1024 resolutions. Priced at $599 a piece, the GeForce 8800 GTX isnot for budget users. Although the GeForce 8800 GTS at $449 may look alittle attractive, we suggest you guys wait until DX10 games hits thestores. We would also like to see how NVIDIA responds to the AMD (orATI) team when they announce their DX10 lineup. If you''re looking for asolid graphics card with budget not being an issue, the GeForce 8800 GTXis surely a next generation graphics card that is available in thecurrent generation. Just remember to have a really good PSU and a bigenthusiast-class chassis if you plan to cage this monster in yourdesktop.
