Antec Signature S10 E-ATX Review

Antec’s new Signature S10 is a big, tall, imposing E-ATX case with a number of interesting features. In a radical departure from the norm the chassis is organised as three chambers. The lower chamber contains the power supply and five 2.5-inch drive bays and is separated from the main chamber where you house the motherboard, CPU, graphics cards and cooling. That’s not so unusual in a world where enthusiast cases often come with a power supply cover that performs a similar function.

ASUS Strix R7 370 DirectCU II OC 4GB Review

ASUS decided to launch two different versions of the Radeon R7 370 graphics cards, whereas one ships with 4 Gigabyte VRAM and the other with 2 Gigabyte. In this review we're going to have a close look at the 4 Gigabyte card. This particular model has also receive a factory overclocking and therefore the GPU runs 75 MHz than on a reference card.

Batman: Arkham Knight Benchmarked, Performance Review

Batman: Arkham Knight, the fourth entry in Warner Brother's Batman: Arkham series, is based on the same Unreal Engine 3 as its predecessor and an Nvidia-sponsored title. Favoring one camp of GPUs is hardly the least contentious way to launch a new game, however it seems this release would have rattled cages regardless. Countless Nvidia and AMD users have expressed anger about Arkham Knight's performance and stuttering issues. Here's what we found in our tests.

Harman Kardon NOVA Wireless Stereo Speaker System Review

When i got my first "real" PC back in the very beginning of the 90's (arrived a few years after an Amstrad 6128, a Commodore 64 and an Amiga 500) i paired it with a Creative Sound Blaster 16 and two very small stereo speakers which today some of you would probably mistake for compact wireless ones. By the mid 90's things improved for the better and thus i managed to get two large monitor speakers on my desk paired with a 32bit Sound Blaster card (AWE32) something which actually didn't last long since with the arrival of the very first 5.1 Dolby Surround sound compatible systems by manufacturers like Creative Labs (still have the Inspire Digital 5700 set) and Wave Master by the end of the decade it was now possible to play games and watch movies on the brand new DVD format (back then anyways) with unprecedented sound clarity. Since then speakers have changed quite a bit so now you don't really need a full 5.1/7.1 surround sound system to enjoy all your favorite games, movies and tunes while sitting in front of your computer screen. Of course finding a really "special" stereo speaker set is not very easy not when there's a massive number of such models in the market but after searching for quite a while we came across the NOVA Wireless Stereo Speaker System by Harman Kardon.

HARMAN (www.harman.com) designs, manufactures and markets premier audio, visual, infotainment and enterprise automation solutions for the automotive, consumer and professional markets. With leading brands including AKG®, Harman Kardon®, Infinity®, JBL®, Lexicon® , Mark Levinson® and Revel®, the Company is admired by audiophiles, musicians and the entertainment venues where they perform. More than 25 million automobiles on the road today are equipped with HARMAN audio and infotainment systems. HARMAN has a workforce of approximately 17,600 people across the Americas, Europe, and Asia and reported sales of $5.9 billion during the last 12 months ended December 31, 2014.

One of the reasons we picked the NOVA Wireless Stereo Speaker System to review out of almost a dozen similar systems is its unique design and very good specifications a combination which we don't usually see in the market (it's usually either design or specifications, hardly ever both). So aside using translucent plastic for most of its body the NOVA features touch capacitive buttons, three different audio inputs (Bluetooth, 3.5mm and Optical), NFC (near field communications), DSP (digital signal processing) by Harman and delivers a grand total of 80W of power via its 63mm (2.5") drivers and 35mm (1.25") tweeters (two 88mm passive bass radiators are also present). We did speak about specifications however and so the NOVA offer a frequency response number of 55Hz to 20KHz with an impedance of 8 Ohm and a SNR of 85dB (all very good the their size). So the time has finally come for us to see if the NOVA Wireless Stereo Speaker System by Harman Kardon sounds as good as it looks.

Join.Me Pro By LogMeIn Review

Conference rooms aren't what they used to be, in fact, much of the time they aren't even held in an actual room but online, so that multiple parties can access them from virtually anywhere. Online conferencing solutions have become a booming business in and of themselves. These tools take what online chat and video forums like Skype and FaceTime offer on desktop and mobile to the next, professional level.Some of the notable solutions in the web conferencing category are Cisco's WebEx, widely considered to be the pioneer in this category, and Citrix's GoToMeeting. After years of serving businesses with its screen sharing and conference dial-in line offerings, Join.Me by LogMeIn ($19.99, £12.70, AU$25.80 per month) is poised for competition. The online meeting app has finally integrated video capabilities into all its versions. The video features come at no extra cost, making Join.Me Pro one of the cheapest video conferencing solutions out there, and one that gives you a pretty big bang for your buck. DesignThe layout of JoinMe.Pro is nothing to write home about, which is part of the point. It's simple, just like its usability, and it relays its services intuitively so that you don't have to do much thinking or researching. Once you initiate a meeting, a thin black rectangular bar with orange icons pops up.

Kingston MobileLite G4 USB 3.0 Card Reader Review

After a few months away from the world of tech, I’m back to check out a product from our friends at Kingston. Today we will be looking at the MobileLite G4, a multifunction card reader.

This metallic form factor reader is smaller and more durable than its predecessor – the MobileLite G3. It is USB 3.0 compliant helping provide faster speeds when transferring data from a memory card to and from your PC or Mac. For those users with only USB 2.0 this card reader is also backwards compatible.

The MobileLite G4 reads SD, SDHC, SDXC, UHS-II and microSD/SDHC/SDXC, which are the de facto external memory for most modern devices.

Mini-ITX for Haswell: 15 Socket 1150 Mini-ITX motherboards Review

An energy friendly HTPC or a monster gaming gaming PC: with the latest generation of mini ITX motherboards anything is possible in a small form factor case. We tested a total of 15 ITX boards for Intel Haswell processors, in a price range of 50 to 200 pounds.

The very compact Mini-ITX format is becoming more popular, not least because of the wide variety of available small form factor cases. There is no reason why you should not consider a smaller PC, as the latest ITX motherboards all support the newest Core i5 and i7 Haswell processors, while in a lot of smaller cases there is enough space for a high end (dual slot) graphics card. This will enable you to build a small PC that equals the performance levels of a much larger (micro) ATX system. Manufacturers are catching on to this trend and have introduced mini-ITX boards with all features you find on their bigger counterparts.

Originally ITX boards were widely used for low power HTPC systems, industrial systems and smaller business PC's, but also as a base for building a home server or a NAS. The size of the boards (17 x 17cm) means that they are still very well suited for applications like this.

OCZ Vector 180 (480GB) Review

The Vector 180 is the successor to the Vector 150 that OCZ released in 2013. The Vector line of SSDs is designed for the enthusiasts as it often carries higher endurance rating and warranty. The original Vector 150 paired OCZ’s own in-house Indilinx Barefoot 3 M00 controller with Toshiba 19nm MLC NAND. The successor, the Vector 180, is actually quite similar to the older drive where it is still using the same Indilinx Barefoot 3 M00 controller but instead of the Toshiba 19nm MLC NAND, it uses the second generation Toshiba A19 NAND that delivers higher bandwidth at smaller die area.

Razer Firefly RGB Backlit Hard Gaming Mousepad Review

One day, a Razer engineer took his hand off his mouse and reached for his Chroma’ed out coffee mug. As he slowly sipped his delicious brew that may or may not contain alcohol, the dazzling lights of his mug converged with the blank blueprint on his desk in perfect harmony. The engineer’s eyes glowed (with excitement)...

Scythe Ashura Review

The Ashura is aesthetically pleasing and Scythe gives you a two-year warranty, great performance, and great build quality. The Ashura comes with a single GlideStream 140mm PWM fan that can handle the heat of normal use and overclocking. The offset of the fin stack makes getting to your RAM a breeze and the offset also allows you to use RAM with tall heat spreaders. If you are looking for a cooling solution that is a significant step above stock cooling, the Ashura has you covered - it is indeed a solid performer. The Ashura has a retail list price of $48.95 and I have seen it on Amazon for a few dollars less.

SK hynix Canvas SC300 (256GB) Review

Another entrant into the budget SSD ring. SK hynix is better known as the provider of memory chips often found on graphics cards and system memory. The company is also spearheading efforts into bringing high-bandwidth graphics memory for new GPUs - AMD's Fury X card is using hynix's know-how.

Completing the memory jigsaw, the South Korean giant, with annual revenues exceeding $13bn, is now making a concerted play into the retail solid-state drive market. We took at a look at the SH910A model last year which impressed with a combination of solid performance and attractive street price. Now, a second drive is introduced to the fold: enter the Canvas SC300.
