USB Octopus 2.0 Cable 4-Port Hub Reviewed
DragonSteelMods.com posted a review on the USB Octopus 2.0 Cable 4-Port Hub

I've taken a look at many USB hubs big and small, but none quite like what I have today, it's essentially a few short USB cables connected to a single cable, making it easy to attach your USB devices. It's called the USB Octopus Cable 4-Port Hub but with the name Octopus you might think it has eight connections, but it doesn't only four.. go figure...

Zalman HD160XT Plus HTPC chassis Review
Bit-Tech published a review of the Zalman HD160XT Plus HTPC chassis

While its looks are clearly designed by the gods themselves, it's not followed through into some of the core design aspects -- obviously someone made a list of every feature they could think of and someone else drew a kick ass looking case -- then the two were pressed together between someone's palms, hoping to get the ultimate PC case. It hasn't happened here with the Zalman HD160XT Plus -- it needs to be seamless and work without issue but it just isn't as we continually had to find ways around problems.

It does a lot of good things and it will look a perfect complement to any home theatre setup -- I know because I've used the original Zalman HD160 as an HTPC case for the past six months, but I wouldn't ever consider upgrading, it's just not worth over twice the price. And while I love the full colour display with the huge potential it brings over a standard VFD -- it's just not as easy to use and customise as I'd like.

By now, several years down the line since its first HTPC cases, we'd expect Zalman would have worked on not only its design but the package as a whole and for £400 we'd expect nothing less than perfection. Unfortunately this isn't the case.

Packard Bell takes VIA's reference NanoBook design and retails a sub-1kg notebook for £350. Any good?

Steelseries Ikari Optical Gaming Mouse Review
Tweaknews.net posted a review on the Steelseries Ikari Optical Gaming Mouse

With the exception of the size and the overly bright indicator LEDs, this is a very sound product. To spice up the pot a bit more, the price is also very reasonable for a high quality optical mouse. If you are used to large mice and want more of the same then don't hesitate to give the Ikari a look. It is a very solid and comfortable mouse to use, and a sheer joy to game with.
