Between the lack of thought and the even more apparent lack of craftsmanship this HDD enclosure puts itself damn close to being useless. With a current market flooded with HDD enclosures a manufacture has to employ careful planning and flawless execution to merely produce a viable product let alone one that will stand above the rest.

NZXT delivers a high quality aluminum chassis with the Adamas, does this mid-tower have what it takes to keep a Core 2 Duo / Geforce 8800 GTX system cool and quiet? We find out

The GeminII has performed great in the test rig. It was able to generate temperatures close to the Ultra Chill Tec Cooler, which was impressive I must say.

There's no doubt that this is a slightly shoddy port of the much-loved PC game, and whether the fault lies with Day One or with the challenges set by the exotic PS3 hardware, it's still hard to recommend a conversion that looks worse than a dated original. Hard, but not impossible, because what makes F.E.A.R. so compelling has still somehow made the transition intact. Once I'd got over the horrors of the graphics engine, I found myself completely drawn into the game, and while key sections still tested my patience more than my skills - I practically feel like I've worked at Armacham having spent so much time in its offices and research labs + that hasn't stopped my enjoyment.

The new OCZ PC2-8500 2GB Reaper HPC edition DDR2 RAM looks extraordinarily good and offers high overclocking, thanks to the excellent heatpipe cooling. OCZ permits the users to operate the modules with up to 2.35 V without loosing the OCZ Lifetime Warranty and this Vmem should be enough to achieve very good overclocking results. If you like to know if the memory is also well overclockable with the default 1.80 Volt and what you're able to expect with an voltage increasment higher than 2.30 Volt, you shouldn't miss this review.

OCZ Technology has been manufacturing enthusiast quality memory for many years, and they have recently expanded their presence in other enthusiast markets. Their previous power supplies have generally been met with high praise in reviews, and they have now returned with a 1000W unit of their own, the ProXStream.

The 9330 series is TallyGenicom's latest A4 monochrome laser printer offering. Two models are available in the range, the 9330N (£215 ex. VAT) and 9330DN (£255 ex. VAT), both offering claimed print speeds of up to 28ppm (pages per minute) at a resolution of 1200dpi quality. Ideally suited to the workgroup and small-networked office, the 9330DN (reviewed here) further extends capabilities by offering automatic duplexing (double-sided printing). Thankfully, both models offer Ethernet connectivity out of the box.

Today, we want to look at a newly released PC Case. It's called the GRID. It's an ATX Mid-Tower PC Case and comes packed with a wallop and loads of features. Included with the case is a 700W modular PSU. We'll look first at the case and then consider the PSU.

The Thecus N2100 is a small and simple to use network attached storage device that would allow everyone on the home network to access and share data. However, while simple in design, I quickly learned upon receiving it that it was actually very powerful when it came to sharing data. Features such as dual Gigabit LAN, external USB 2.0 ports, optional wireless and Serial ATA hard drive support make this NAS device one to take under serious consideration.

Recently Corsair was kind enough to drop by and hand us the 8GB version of its Flash Voyager GT, the performance edition of the range. The look of the device hasn't changed a great deal since the original Flash Voyager, though the GT sports a black and red rubber casing as opposed to blue and black.

The SPV E650 is based on HTC's S710 smartphone and once again Orange is first out of the gate with a new Windows Mobile device. This comes as no real surprise considering that Orange pioneered Windows Mobile smartphones with the original SPV, and although that particular handset was pretty awful, Orange's commitment to the Windows Mobile platform has definitely paid off.

Today we have got our hands on the first, we hope, of many 680i LT boards. This one comes from DFI, who has really put its all into the product. So let us take a look and see if it is worthy of your dollars. It comes under the famous LANParty name, so we are expecting quite a lot.

Gigabyte has attempted to pull out all the stops with their new 3D Aurora 570. With a multitude of vendors scrambling to capture your hard-earned dollar for their enclosures, can Gigabyte be the one you want? And with long established names like Antec, CoolerMaster, ThermalTake, ABS, SilverStone, and others fighting it out in the enthusiast market, can the Aurora pull out in front? That's what we're going to find out...

Today I am going to be reviewing a piece of equipment that's task is sometimes overlooked but nonetheless is quite important. I am going to test the Nexus Frizzbee, a silent hard disk drive cooler. Before taking a look at the Nexus Frizzbee here is some background info about Nexus.

My ChillStream for the PS3 review sample has a high gloss piano black case that looks just like the case on my PS3. The downside to all that shine is that finger prints and smudges show up quite badly.
