NZXT Sentry 2 Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the NZXT Sentry 2.

Since the dawn of the computer era started, the need of fans has become as necessary to use as the heat sinks we use to cool our computer components. As chassis become bigger they are able to handle a larger amount of fans. The need to limit the amount of noise the fans produce has become a top priority for most of us computer users.

Fan controllers are a perfect candidate for us users to help limit the amount of noise these fans make by adjusting the amount of voltage to each fan we hook up therefore dropping the amount of noise that the fans make. Fan controllers also gives us another ability of organizing all of our fan wires in a more organized manner increasing overall air flow in the chassis, at the same time tiding up the interior of our chassis.

NZXT has come up with a rather unique fan controller that not only controls five fans, but also allows us to monitor up to five component temperatures. The Sentry 2 fan controller is a touch sensitive fan controller that allows us to manually adjust the fan speed or allows the fan controller to control the fans automatically in conjunction with the temperature probes.

QNAP TS-239 Pro Turbo NAS Review
PC Review have a new review of the QNAP TS-239 Pro Turbo NAS

The QNAP TS-239 Pro is a next generation model based on the Intel Atom platform which includes even more features suited to an office environment (such as iSCSI). This NAS includes two drive bays (providing up to 4TB storage) and the unit size has been reduced substantially to a mere 214x175x115mm.

This little NAS includes a 1.6Ghz atom CPU, 1GB DDRII memory and two gigabit LAN ports which is much more powerful than many competing devices. Not only does this improve the performance of some elements (such as the PHP/MySQL server), but it ensures that a larger number of clients can use the NAS without performance degradation. Similar to other QNAP variants there are 12 primary functions which the NAS unit can perform.

Astone Media Gear AP-100 1080p Media Player Video Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Astone Media Gear AP-100 1080p Media Player Video

Astone sent us over one of their Media Gear AP-100 Full HD 1080p USB and Network Media Player samples for video review. Astone is claiming this to be one of the cheapest HD media players on the market in Australia at $199 AUD (or about $167 USD at the time of writing) including an 802.11n USB wireless dongle. It supports a vast range of audio and video formats for the price and shows plenty of potential on paper.

In a lengthy video review, we fully put the HD media player unit through its paces and see if it’s a hit or miss product.

Asus M4A79T Deluxe Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Asus M4A79T Deluxe.

Previously I reviewed one of MSI's latest 790FX-GD70 and I considerd it to be hands down, one of the best AM3 boards I have used. Some time has past now and my collection has grown a bit more and today we get to toy with the Asus M4A79T Deluxe. It seems like we are getting rehahes of the tired 790FX chipset but with each board their seems to be more and more improvements. Even though we patiently await the newer AMD chipsets ahead it's always nice to see a new board in the pile.

The question though, is what kind of minor tweaks will Asus bring with their M4A79T Deluxe? Lets continue to find out if it take the crown over MSI's steep competition.
