"If you think those fins look pretty tightly packed you'd be right. Sixty-six fins. This is the highest fin count I have personally ever seen on a heatsink. The fins themselves taper from roughly 82mm at the top, down to 63mm in width where they attach to the base. I'm not going to do the math beyond saying, that is one hell of a lot of surface area."

"The W2 is one of those rare head turners. No one in the States has probably seen one, and it looks different from everything else on the market. The combo drive loading mechanism is one of a kind, and, provided you don't end up turning the unit off when you're trying to show it off, makes for a nice feature demo in a coffee shop."

"The Icemat is definitely a high quality mouse surface built to last... The Icemat is very attractive, and the use of glass gives it a distinct appearance you won’t find with any other mouse surface. If you like having unique components that can still provide the performance you demand, the Icemat may be worth consideration..."

"Samsung's Swiss Army knife of a monitor, the 172MP. You can use it as a TV monitor, watch Picture-in-Picture video while you work, or use it as your game console's video display. And the speakers even sound good! "

"So just how efficient is the Supertube? When it comes to metals, silver is the best conductor with silver pushing 10.312 K (watts/inch C). The Supertube on the other hand is capable of 72.184 K (watts/inch C) which even beats diamond at 16.000 K (Just for reference copper sits at 9.7790 K)."

"Looking for the best air cooler for your CPU? Thermalright has always been amongst the top air coolers on the market. Thermalright has given us the chance to test their new copper cooler, SLK-947-U. From its looks, like the other Thermalright products, the SLK-947-U is nothing short of excellence."

"We had trouble classifying the Hornet as a Small Form Factor PC - with more PCI slots than most other SFF's, and side case window, the Hornet doesn't quite know where it belongs. However it is definitely smaller than any standard ATX case, and compatible with the ATXu motherboard specification. We'll investigate its strengths and weaknesses against SFF and normal PC's."
