The Seagate FreeAgent Go 500GB portable hard drive is amazingly designed and fast too. The included software is packed with useful features to realize the true potential of the drive in today's home. This product is worth our recommendation and ideal for those users who are both on the go and need a reliable storage solution that doesn't weigh you down.

Today we have been given an Intel Core 2 series supporting ITX model on steroids in the form of the 9300-ITX WiFi. Costing a mere $145 USD from Newegg it's priced right, but will it perform? - Let's have a look. Today we have the new 9300-ITX WiFi board up against our 610i and 630i based boards from ZOTAC; this just to see if this new board is able to outperform the previous generation boards.

Stronger, bigger and faster that is just what we are all seeking for when we are looking for a flash memory stick. And that is exactly what Patriot had in mind as well when they released the Xporter Magnum 64GB memory drive. Their mission is simple, and this is to be the vendor of choice for the computer and consumer electronic industries with a commitment to service and quality. Which is exactly what they have been doing over the last few years, building up a strong service with high quality products and as such becoming a choice for many out there looking for memory related hardware. With a wide variety to choose from and capacities reaching 64GB, you can literally take everything with you.

The Seagate Momentus 7200.2 200GB hard drive was able to reach 48MBps on both the read and write tests, but the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500GB hard drive was able to reach 84MBps on the same test. With a 75% faster transfer rate the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500GB hard drive is very impressive.

At this point in building and reviewing products, I have had my hands in quite a few types and models of cases. Not too long ago I was greeted with an e-mail asking if I would like to review a mini-ITX case. I accepted the challenge and went on Newegg and got a hold of a ZOTAC mini-ITX motherboard to go along with parts I already had on hand, ready for a build. The case finally arrived at my door from A+, one of three of the Cupid series. I asked for the Cupid 3 for reasons I will address later, but there is also a Cupid 1 and a Cupid 2 in this line-up.

Traveling photographers are a picky bunch. They want a wide focal range in order to capture everything from broad vistas, to the eyeballs of scampering wildlife. They also want good quality, without the bulk and expense of DSLRs. Enter cameras like the new Canon PowerShot SX200 IS, with its compact size and image-stabilized 12x zoom, plus the ability to take high-def clips. The SX200 is one of the first of Canon's Class of 2009, and we were anxious to see if the company would maintain its standards during a trip to Aruba. (Hey, even reviewers have to take "working" vacations, right?)

Western Digital is one of the big names in hard drives, and one of their latest releases puts a much stronger emphasis on the word big. Model number WD20EADS is a 3.5" SATA 3Gbps hard drive from their "eco-friendly" Caviar Green series that sports 32MB of cache memory and an industry leading 2TB of storage capacity.

Gamers form highly personal attachments to their keyboards and mice, because finding the perfect peripheral can favorably impact the ratio between triumphant victories and humiliating defeats. After all, if you're dropping several grand on a new gaming PC, or even several hundred to upgrade the one you have, doesn't it make sense to also buy an accessory that can give you an edge on the latest interactive blockbuster?

Laptops keep on getting more powerful, that means many people are using them as desktop replacements. There are many benefits of using a laptop instead of a large tower. First off it takes up far less space, you can take it from place to place with you, and you don't have to worry about a keyboard and a mouse. One thing I've always missed when using a laptop is screen space, I currently use two 24-inch screens at my desktop so going down to 1 screen is a change. Lenovo has come up with a solution for this with their ThinkPad W700ds laptop that has an additional pull-out 10.6-inch screen! Let's check i t out!

One year ago Shawn reviewed the Razer Lycosa Gaming Keyboard, which bears a striking resemblance to the one I have in my hands, the new Arctosa. In case you were wondering where Razer came up with these names, both Lycosa and Arctosa are families of wolf spiders, just like the Tarantula that shares its name with Razer's original gaming keyboard. All of Razer's products are in fact named after predators, their headsets are all named for aquatic hunters, their mice are all snakes and their keyboards are spiders... I guess it's a Razer thing.

Today we have the opportunity to review the continued evolution of this unique design in the form of the BFG EX-1200 Watt power supply. Unlike the ES 800 before it, this power supply is definitely not shy on the latest features and power capacity. It boasts modular cabling, six PCI-E cables, a whopping 40 amps available on each of the 12V rails and something called frequency conversion technology to improve efficiency at lower loads.

EVGA's X58 SLI isn't a new offering, but it's still quite relevant. So, we're taking a fresh look at the board to see where it stands in today's competition. While its overclocking-ability may not be overly impressive, EVGA makes it apparent that they don't cut corners and deliver a board that's attractive to both gamers and new system builders alike.
