"An MP3 player has long been an item on my ‘to buy’ list and I was quite excited to get a closer look at this offering from Acer. Once unboxed, my fist impression was one of ‘oh it’s a little fatter than I thought’. Indeed, my main buying concern for an mp3 payer is that it has to be very small. Too big, and I might as well stick with my MiniDisc player."

"DFI's Lanparty NFII Ultra is a great example of a high quality motherboard for the AMD processor as the Lanparty PRO875 is for Intel. You get a great bundle which contains a flashy UV reactive motherboard that performs very well right out of the box and can be inserted into any windowed case to create an instant attractive enthusiast computer system."

"Today we're taking a look at another mousepad called the Icemat. Much like the Steelpad 4S and the FraggPad we recently reviewed, it's designed with gamers in mind. Only our review will reveal if it's truly a great gaming mousepad, or just another wannabe."

"Ever considered building a Home Theatre PC? Since computers are becoming more of a standard appliance in the home, odds are you'll find quite a few being integrated into the family entertainment center. Today we take a look at the SilverStone Technology SST-LC01 "Lascala" HTPC (Home Theatre P.C.) Case. For those of you who haven't heard of SilverStone Technologies they are relatively young in the P.C. market, being founded in 2003. They are based out of Taipei Taiwan, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see more of them soon with Comdex being this week. "

"The synthetic benchmarks put the ZNF3-150 behind the reference system but in a strange twist the board won every real world benchmark we had. In the case of the Athlon64 3200+ we obviously cannot judge performance by synthetic numbers alone."

"The ME-350 Aluminum hard drive enclosure is designed almost flawlessly. It is made of a sleek shinny aluminum body with a Blue LED that lights up when the drive is in use. My favorite feature is the vertical stand, not only does it make the drive look better it saves space. Check out this review to find out more."

"While the lights are overpowered a bit in that particular case, it does give a nice effect you don't see elsewhere as far as a PSU is concerned. Thermaltake's further attention to detail such as the color coded sleeved lines with shrink wrapped ends, gobs of power and a light show courtesy of the tricolored LEDs really make the Tt Butterfly a nice choice."
