Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard Reviewed

"Reclusa feels like a 'just another keyboard'. It has a good 'feel' for long typing sessions. It's silent and it has enough shortcut keys which are quite nicely locatedaround the keyboard. It doesn't have any big flaws either but all the small mistakes put
together make the whole product look bad."

Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD7500AAKS 750GB SATA 3 Gbps Hard Drive

"Western Digital may not be able to toot their horn for being the first to the 750GB plateau, but unless you have a time machine and want to go back 15 months, does it really matter at this point? The Caviar SE16 WD7500AAKS 750GB Hard Drive is one of a very few options at this capacity or higher, and it is well worth consideration by anyone looking for a big drive.

Lantronix SecureLinx Spider Reviewed @ BIOS

“The Spider isn't the first single-port IP KVM, but it is the first with a compact form-factor and distributed KVM approach. The module offers a good range of features needed to effectively manage mission-critical systems remotely. Despite its size itÙs a true distributed KVM solution that guarantees non-blocked access to servers at an extremely affordable cost-per-remote user. Being able to deliver this access and all the other features in such a tiny, server-powered package is a huge advantage over the traditional KVM switch. ItÙs also very easy to install and manage, scales easily, and provides tough access controls and security.”

Assassin's Creed Q&A With Ubisoft's Patrice Desilets

"On August 26th, 2007 an 11 minute demo of Assassin's Creed was shown at the PAX 2007 by Ubisoft Montral's Creative Director, Patrice Desilets. Too bad Jade Raymond, the producer of Assassin's Creed, wasn't there... there would have been a page dedicated just to her! The level that was shown was the same as in the E3 demo, however a different path was taken to reach the target. At the end of the demo, a conversation between Altair and the head of the Assassin's bureau in Jerusalem, Malik, showed an intense rivalry between the two."

The Goblin Game: A Turn-Based Online Strategy Game

"When I was a kid, I played Dungeons and Dragons. A lot. Upon reading all the RPG magazines of the day (Dragon Magazine was by far my favorite), I would notice a pattern in the types of ads that were strewn across the back half of the periodical. Of course there were advertisements for off-the-wall role-playing games that no one has ever heard of, discount figurines and paints, but there was one that I couldn't quite figure out... the play by mail game."

Apevia X-Telstar Black Aluminum Mid-Tower ATX Case @ Benchmark Reviews

"Today I'm reviewing the Apevia X-Telstar Black Aluminum Mid-Tower ATX Case.  You might know Apevia from their many other products or particularly their very nice X-Navigator cases.  The X-Telstar's prominent features are: large see-through side window panel; and a front LCD display; twelve drive bays; solid aluminum chassis; and three 120mm (large) fans.  It is marketed as a gaming case however I'm sure you could load up Photoshop or a web browser up if your computer was inside, too.  I wouldn't go so far as to say that any accounting or legal/law related programs would open on a computer in this case."

Danger Den Water Box Plus Case (Part 3)

"We have looked at the case and pump for our project and now have reached the next item in the cooling loop, the radiator. This is the device that actually transfers the heat generated by the cpu, graphics card and pump from the liquid medium to the surrounding atmosphere. This is accomplished the same way as on a motor vehicle. With the motor vehicle the heat is generated by the combustion cycle instead of a piece of silicon. The heat is transfered to the liquid coolant (antifreeze), and that is continuously recirculated through the motor by a water pump. The radiator has a fan pulling air through it, exhausting the heat to the atmosphere and lowering the temperature of the coolant. In all, its a pretty efficient process that is the same across both platforms."
