Plextor PX-B310U External Blu-ray Combo Drive
0 Comments |
CCE Reviews take a look at the Plextor PX-B310U External Blu-ray Combo Drive, which allows you to watch Blu-ray movies and store high volumes of data:
Quote:
While the quality of the discs burned may not be as great as we expected, I have yet to burn any coasters with the drive in almost two weeks of use. With the need for a power supply the portability is somewhat limited, but this also allows for greater write speeds and a steadier power source. If you’re looking for an external DVD Writer and would like the added ability of viewing some HD entertainment, the PX-8310U deservers a look.

Verdis Reviews take a look at the Speedlink Vento 2.0 Speaker Set, a pair of USB powered speakers suitable for budget home users:
Quote:
|
The Vento 2.0 speaker set is perfect for any desktop. Its compact size takes up little space and stands securely. The design is modern and will compliment any flat-screen monitor - it also produces great sound. Another great feature is the USB cable which powers the speakers. Along with a volume control with switching function, the Vento also has a 3.5mm jack. The special show-stopper: you can adjust the volume level of any set of headphones you connect using the speaker set’s volume control.

Windows 7 Pre-order
0 Comments |
W7forums have a thread containing details of the latest pre-order offer pricing for Windows 7, allowing you to upgrade to the new OS for as little as $49.99:

I've made this thread to keep track of the current Windows 7 deals to help people identify the best places to buy Windows 7 from. As offers are released in other countries I will post them here. The current pre-order offer is only valid while quantities last, so I would suggest buying an order as soon as you know that you'll upgrade to Windows 7. In the USA the upgrade editions are the only ones valid for this offer, so they are the best value if you have XP or Vista already.

Kingwin Mach 1 1000W PSU

JonnyGuru take a look at the Kingwin Mach 1 1000W power supply, which should provide enough juice for even the most powerful PCs:

These days, for a power supply company to be competitive, there's gotta be a 1kW or up model in there somewhere. Kingwin recently joined the party by bringing in their Mach 1 series of units, which tops out with a 1.2kW monster. Today I'm having a look at the second most powerful in the line, the 1000W model. This is the only 80 Plus Bronze certified unit in the range, and it features such cool things as modular cables with illuminated rings around them when you plug one in.

EVGA E761 X58 SLI Classified Motherboard

Legit Reviews have a new review of the EVGA E761 X58 SLI Classified Motherboard, which is a real high end board:

What is there to say? The EVGA X58 E761 Classified is like an over-the-top blockbuster movie; it wows you on all fronts all the while costing an arm and a leg to produce. Core i7 is a new processor and motherboard and BIOS engineers are still figuring it out, but the team at EVGA has clearly stumbled across something to be able to release a board that pushes these chips past the notorious 220MHz base clock wall. This board reminds me a lot of the Asus LGA775 Rampage Extreme, except the Rampage Extreme came so late in the game.

Rosewill RKM-800RF Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo

Big Bruin take a look at the Rosewill RKM-800RF Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo, which seems to be a mediocore performer:
Quote:
|
As a whole, the Rosewill RKM-800RF Wireless Keyboard and mouse combo is a decent, solid performer. In a very crowded field of contenders, it doesn’t really stand out, and doesn’t draw attention to itself, but it performs admirably. If you are a hard-core gamer, or if you have large hands like me, you might want to try it before committing to the RKM-800RF.
