Quote: "The KANA falls in to the middile category, classified by Steelseries as “the middle child” the KANA fills a void often left in the market for high end business users and casuial gamers. Not every office worker needs 7-20 buttons, not every gamer needs buttons everywhere when just a few extra will suffice for the casuial gamer, the KANA with 6 buttons and easy to use UI is poised to fill this gap."

Quote: "On first inspection I notice that they look undeniably like the Dr. Dre’s Monster Beats brand which they do but can they match the sound quality, but having said that lets hope they beat (excuse the pun) the build quality as my own set of beats lasted 2 months before the headband just cracked and broke…"

Quote: "Over the years I have had many CPU coolers go through my hands some good, some not so good, some so flimsy just installing them almost destroyed them, some so bulky and heavy I had to make a prop to prevent one snapping a board."

Quote: " Although laptop technology has improved dramatically over the last decade heat continues to be a problem for many laptops to cope with. Heat build-up in a laptop (as in any device) Can degrade both performance of the device and longevity of its components, and in laptops and notebook form factors can seriously effect battery life and processor and GPU capabilities degrading speed of operation and physically damaging components."

Quote: "Fans may not be the most exciting component in your new PC, however they do make a lot of difference in terms of performance, noise and enjoyability – it’s hard to enjoy a film (or game) if all you can hear is the whirling of wind turbines, when the film (or game) in question has nothing to do with planes"

Quote: "The Simraceway aims to provide the most comprehensive game control experience on the market today, quite the task when you consider the competition includes simple wheels to all in one racing chairs. So let’s have a closer look and see how this pretender to the throne of racing wheels shapes up."

Quote: "Today I’ll be reviewing the BitFenix Raider ATX case. BitFenix has only been around a couple of years now, but has been churning out many great cases (such as the Colossus or Shinobi) at a frequent rate. This case is a mid-tower, in comparison so some of its bigger brothers, however I have high hopes that it will still meet the expectations of the BitFenix name."

Quote: " Today I will be reviewing the Arctic Accelero XTREME Plus II. This is a Graphics Card heatsink-cooler designed to cool even the hottest of cards – including my own Inno3D GTX580 OC, whilst remaining reasonably quiet."

Quote: "With Driving Simulators and games becoming more and more popular, we at XtremeComputing thought there is no time than the present than to start looking at products relating to the racing world, before we started out this process I thought It would be best to start of looking at these sort of products with a review of a steering wheel support stand."

Quote: "Well by now you all know who ZOTAC are as they have built up a decent reputation over the last couple of years, most of you know ZOTAC for their graphics cards and mini ITX motherboards, but more recently they have been coming to the market with barebones style systems based on the latest CPU’s from Intel (ION) and now AMD (E350-APU) platform, which brings me to the product we will be reviewing today."

Quote: "The original Level 10 went down well worldwide (and my editor actually used one in his recent M-Power mod – click here for more info), so the Level 10 GT should hopefully be even better! The only complaint that most users had of the original Level 10, was the lack of space – the GT is here to address that."

Quote: "BitFenix is a fairly new brand when it comes to the world of cases, however already it is well known for gamer/enthusiast focused quality cases such as the BitFenix Colossus which has been highly rated by buyers. Today I will be reviewing the latest mid-tower case; the BitFenix Shinobi."

This all started one day when I spotted the thermaltake level 10 case sitting at show, I thought wow that looks very unique. I had been planning for a little while to do a car themed mod and with the level 10 being designed by one of BMW’s design houses, I thought now was a good a time as any to actually do a BMW 3 series Mpower theme, so the concept was born. Now bear in mind this concept started way back last year.
