Aten Laptop USB KVM Switch CS661 Review
TestFreaks.com posted a review on the Aten Laptop USB KVM Switch CS661

When we think of KVMs we think of a switch of some kind that allows one to control several computers with just one keyboard and mouse, but there are other kinds as well. Aten has sent me over what they are calling a Laptop USB KVM Switch, what is does it allow you to take over another computer via a USB connection, essentially creating a remote desktop session via USB. When active, the main or local computer takes over the controls of the remote computer and you see it's desktop on the lock computer. In the name is 'laptop', but it can be used to connect any PCs together this way. The switch also has a USB port in it to allow sharing of a printer or other device as well, along with a built in GUI and file sharing as well. There's no software to install, everything is self contained, and it even includes a convenient carrying case.

Thermaltake Max ORB EX Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Thermaltake Max ORB EX

Not too many people can remember the days when we didn’t have too many options for cooling a CPU. I can personally recall using many zip ties to fasten a higher speed fan on top of an OEM Intel or AMD cooler and then manipulating dip-switches and jumpers on the motherboard to bump up the FSB and voltages for a friendly 5% overclock. It didn’t take too long for several companies to get a clue, and before you knew it you had several coolers to choose from. One of those originators came to be known simply as the TT ORB. It was a low-profile, low-noise cooler that was easy to mount and use on a socket 370 CPU, and provided decent enough cooling for overclocking. It was an inexpensive pioneering achievement, to say in the least, and Thermaltake really started making a name for themselves due to their innovative philosophy.
