WD My Passport 1TB

Lan OC have been checking out the WD My Passport 1TB external hard drive, and here's a snippet:

You guys/girls ever see something that you really don’t need but just have to have in your life? For the most part, I try to keep things like this under control, but a while back during our anniversary contest I happened to see that WD had this bright orange external drive. Now I wish they had a bright orange My Passport SSD like the one I reviewed last year, this isn’t it. This is the larger spinning disk-based model. But its bright bright orange! So I had to check it out. So today I’m going to show you guys the drive, check out its performance, then talk a little about if classic external storage is still a good option these days.

Stormforce Prism GTX 1080Ti

Vortez have reviewed the Stormforce Prism GTX 1080Ti gaming PC, and here's a snippet:

Those with deep pockets often feel the urge to splash a large amount of cash on something particularly special; the Stormforce Prism deserves every letter of that definition, with a GTX 1080Ti providing the graphics horsepower and an AMD Ryzen ThreadRipper 1950x CPU to coordinate everything.

Not only that, there’s also a 512GB Western Digital Black NVMe SSD, 32GB of G.SKILL RGB RAM, a closed loop Cooler Master RGB CPU heatsink, fully-featured motherboard, Wireless add in card and much more. The Prism offers anything you could need for gaming, video editing or professional streaming.

The Prism arrives with a truly impressive roster of components, but perhaps the most impressive feature is the case. The Cooler Master C700P is a monster and should be more than capable of keeping everything cool and quiet.

Asus ROG Strix Flare

Hardware Heaven have reviewed the Asus ROG Strix Flare keyboard, and here's a snippet:

The Asus ROG Strix Flare is a gaming keyboard with the high price we expect – but the kind of subtle design that’s rare in this part of the market. This £140/$180 unit has smart looks, customisable options and RGB LEDs, and it uses familiar CherryMX Red switches. However, that may not be enough to convince us to part with our cash, so read our Asus ROG Strix Flare review for our hands-on verdict.

ASUS ROG Strix Flare Mechanical Keyboard

Benchmark Reviews have been taking a look at the ASUS ROG Strix Flare Mechanical Keyboard, and here's a snippet:

ASUS has always been a forefront in the PC industry focusing on fundamentals, innovation, and aesthetics. Their latest product featured from the special Republic of Gamers or ROG, is the Strix Flare Cherry MX mechanical keyboard. ROG is a recognized leader in gaming and overclocking performance, where the Strix term refers to advanced enhancements or features (compared to standard stock bins). In this case it is the customizing of profiles and a great plethora of RGB spectrum displays on the very keys themselves!

Fallout 76 release date and news from E3

Bethesda has revealed that Fallout 76 will be released on 14th November 2018, and the game will be entirely online. PC Review has more:

Despite Todd's annoying habit of saying 'nucular' instead of nuclear, we learned a lot about this upcoming game. Todd confirmed the rumour that Fallout 76 is entirely online, and that each of the characters to leave the vault is a real person. You can play the game solo, but the easiest way to survive is if you team up with friends - in fact, the game is designed for just this. Todd referred to the style of game as “Softcore Survival”; death doesn't result in any loss of progression, and you exist in a world with dozens of other players, not hundreds. You can can join friends with no loss of progression, and you are not tied to one server.

Philips 34-Inch 349X7 Ultrawide QHD Curved FreeSync Monitor

eTeknix have been taking a look at the Philips 34-Inch 349X7 Ultrawide QHD Curved FreeSync monitor, and here's a snippet from their review:

Tired of the limitations of 16:9 displays and want a lot more room to work, play and more? Then an ultrawide 21:9 monitor may be perfect for you. While lacking the impressive vertical resolution of 4K, which runs at 3840 x 2160, this ultrawide monitor offers a higher horizontal resolution of 3440 x 1440. That’s the same vertical resolution as a 2K display, but almost twice the width of a traditional 16:9 display. That means you can fit more windows side by side, great for people like myself who do a lot of content creation. Of course, it’s fantastic for gaming too, giving you a wider field of view to get immersed in your digital worlds. Add to that the ability for FreeSync and 100Hz refresh rates and you’re well on your way to a fantastic PC experience.

Cooler Master Mastercase H500M

Tech Power Up have reviewed the Cooler Master Mastercase H500M computer case, and here's a snippet:

Overall, the Cooler Master Mastercase H500M feels far more refined than the H500P, offering a much better design as well as an appropriate material mix for a case in this price range. Sure, it is $50 more expensive, but that can be attributed mostly to the non-functional improvements in the use of materials and the upgraded fans and controller board as all the tooling changes are what really make a tangible difference. Thus, the Mastercase H500M is deserving of the Editor's Choice award.

MSI Optix MPG27C RGB Gaming Monitor

Kit Guru have reviewed the MSI Optix MPG27C RGB Gaming Monitor, and here's a snippet:

So what does the MPG27C bring to the table that makes it stand out from the crowd? Well, it’s fairly curvy, for one thing, with a radius of 1800R. It comes on a fully adjustable stand that features edgy metal legs and bronze-red metal highlights – somewhat reminiscent of Acer’s original Predator series such as the Acer Predator XB241H – to give it a ‘gamer’ vibe, along with a built-in USB hub to hook up your gaming peripherals.
