Daily Reviews Summary 08/10/08

Up on the review block today I've got a new product from our friends at OCZ Technology, it's the Alchemy Elixir Series Keyboard and it's advertised as a gaming peripheral but it's also a great all around keyboard as well. It features 10 Macro keys, 7 Internet keys and 8 Media keys along with the ability to switch modes between standard and your personalized gaming configurations with the touch of a button. This keyboard retails for $29.99, and at that price most people wouldn't expect much, as most other 'gaming' keyboards out there cost two to three times as much, but the Elixir will surprise you with its functionality, comfort and ease of use. It's a very nice keyboard really that works well, is well made and most anyone will be happy with, OCZ has brought quality, professional gaming keyboards down to budget level with the introduction of the Elixir Series of keyboards.

Just think, not too many years ago you had to look to floppy disks and cd burning to put files on something you could carry with you, either for class or work or even as storage. Then came the flash drive, pen drive, removeable media, usb drive, etc... It has many names. They started out large and eventually got smaller and smaller. Today, Bjorn3D is happy to present to you the worlds smallest pen drive........ with BLING. The Super Talent 24K Gold PICO. It's about the size of a quarter and yet can hold 8GBs of information and water proof to boot. But does it really work? It is so small, and yes, I will even submerge it in water. Scary!!

Today we are looking at a very nice external HDD enclosure from Rosewill. The Rosewill enclosure has four connectivity options and offers very good performance. Plugging the large 1TB drive into the board was easy and once plugged in you secure the drive with four screws on the underside of the drive cage. After the drive is secure, you simply reinstall the cage in the reverse order. The complete procedure took all of ten minutes.

Prestigio GeoVision 350 belongs to low-cost GPS navigation devices (we could say that it is cheapest) but its exterior doesn't give that impression. Casing and windshield cradle are nicely done without rough edges. They doesn't look cheap and don't give impression of low quality product. We don't have any complaints neither on functionality neither on mobility of windshield cradle. In package we found 12V charger (with adapter for car cigarette lighter), USB cable, external (additional) GPS antenna and manual.

Akasa has taken the Mirage-62 case and has updated it using thick aluminum panels, adding air vents which also can be used for water cooling units and a stylish new front door. The mid-tower case features loads of space and some clever design choices to make it big enough for even the largest power supplies and longest graphics cards.
