Case Modders Australia has posted a 2 in 1 review on the Large Attack Pad and the Mouse Bungee.
Picture it. Your in the midst of a savage Quake3 Arena deathmatch, you swing your mouse from left to right blasting the living crap out of anything that moves in your field of vision. You see a player running away >from you and you train your rockets on the back of his head, launching a slavo or two when all of a sudden your mouse ceases to respond. Frantically, you pick up your mouse to replace it in the middle of the pad and in that split time it takes you to relocate your mouse someone has shoved some depleted uranium up your arse! That damned mouse cord got jammed again!Read more

The Mouse Bungee
128Mb vs. 256Mb SDRAM
We all use extended RAM in our systems, and most of us performance seekers and overclockers use PC133. It has become a standard over the past few months even though PC100 has not been phased out. When DDR RAM is just around the corner you can expect to find a stick of 256 MB PC133 under $200 US. So why not load up on a bunch? We have also seen the standard amount of ram bumped up to 128MB. So what kind of performance gain would you expect to see with 256MB? That is what we are here to find out. DDR RAM gives us 5-20% increase in performance and for a person on a budget picking up a cheap stick of PC133 is a lot easier then dishing out for a new motherboard and new memory sticks.Read more

Optimizing your xDSL/Cable Modem Connection
Hey, I understand how much you guys pay for these broadband connections, I´m getting ripped off myself and I feel your pain... But what if you´re shelling out the big bucks and not really getting what you´re paying for? Is your @home moving along at a snails pace? DSL got ya down? Well, here´s a guide to at least try and help you get the most bang for your buck... I´m not guaranteeing any "quick-fixes" but I can say with some assurance that you´ll notice it when these settings are properly configured.Read more
The Mouse Bungee
Well here is the [in]famous mouse bungee that we´ve all been hearing about but had not clue if we should buy or not! The only function is simply to keep that annoying mouse cord out of your way ( cordless/trackball mouse anyone? ). It was first seen on ZDTV and from there many have also seen it on Fox Live TV Chicago and a few other shows. Seems like these TV folk are fascinated by crazy contraptions such as this. These guys come in a variety of colors : Blueberry, Strawberry, Lime, Purple, Orange, Black ( what we reviewed ). Plastic, 2 springs, more plastic...hmmm.... Well lets put it to the test.Read more

UKGamer.net has posted a review on the Frag Tape.
Before Frag Tape was available we used to mix super glue with thermal paste to create a semi-solution to this problem. However when the super-glue would set, it would create round balls of thermal paste and the contact between the heatsink and the processor core would not be very good (let alone secure).Read more
