"It's been about a month and a half now since our last LCD display review, but during this period we have been testing Samsung's latest and one of their largest LCD display's. The SyncMaster 213T, successor to the 210T, is what we are talking about. This display with it's native digital and analog resolution of 1600x1200 coupled with a whopping 21.3" active-matrix TFT/ LCD panel is definitely one serious monitor. How serious is the 213T is what we need to ask.."

&quot;After plugging this fan in and hearing very little noise, I believe the &quot;Silence Solution&quot; label on these fans is accurate. However, it is only running at 2000 RPM, so there is no reason for it to be loud really. Also, the four UV LEDs shine very bright. I'm sure it would only take a couple of these to fully light up a mid-tower case. Or using only one, assuming it's in the right place, could provide enough light in a case to make a lot of people happy. &quot;

&quot;Add backlit keyboards to the list of all things stylish! Backlit
keyboards are still a new novelty, but have become popular enough to

&quot;The Galaxy USB Cable is clear with silver wire on the inside. The activity light comes in 5 different colors: red, blue, green, yellow, and a mixture of colors. You can choose between a 6ft or 10ft cable. This universal cable can be used in any number of devices, such as printers, digital cameras, etc. For this review, I will be using a blue, 6ft cable plugged into a printer.&quot;

&quot;Maxtor has saddled its Personal Storage 5000 OneTouch 250GB USB 2/FireWire external hard drive with an unwieldy name, but the drive itself is a sleek product designed to make it as easy as possible to perform data backups. The drive has an extruded aluminium housing that can lie flat or sit vertically in the supplied stand. Apart from the Maxtor logo stamped on the side of the case, it's a fairly innocuous unit that would sit on any desk waiting for its daily call into action.&quot;
