FSP Hydro G 850W Power Supply Review

When you think of car dealers and car salesmen, you usually do not have the best image in mind. I have been in the market for a car, and recently I had to deal with them. During one of my encounters, I worked with three different people at a certain dealership, which I will not name directly. What I will say is it is a Chevrolet dealer off Blackfoot Trail in SE Calgary, Alberta. If you really do not know, they rhyme with the word 'thaw', and start with the letter S. My time with them was quite a frustrating one, and while I ended up buying a car from them, I can honestly say they did not shake the image of an underhanded car salesman in my mind. Not only did they nickel and dime me from every side possible, while three times pressuring me to buy extended warranty, but at the end of the day, they did not honor the verbal agreements they said in the beginning. I will probably chalk this up to inexperience in dealing with these people, and the fact this could be a one-off issue. However, I think really what bugged me was the lack of honesty or consistency in their speech. They would practically do anything to get the sale, only to go back on the things they say. Their lack of integrity made me trust them less, and I will never go back to them, whether for service or for another purchase. However, consistency is not only important in your dealings with people, but also in electronics. Consistency, or what we call reliability, is quite important with components like power supplies. This is the heart of the computer, and there needs to be reliable performance to run the rest of your components safely and well. Today's FSP Hydro G 850W is up for inspection, and I have to wonder, is this another great PSU, or is this a lemon of a unit? Read on to find out!

Hands-on review: Samsung Galaxy S7 Active

"What's the best nearly waterproof, dustproof and shatterproof phone you can buy? Asking for a friend." I hear this question all of the time, and it's now easier to answer with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active.The S7 Active is a rugged Android phone that takes everything we loved about the Samsung Galaxy S7 and wraps it into a much tougher package that's easier to grip and harder to break, just like last year's Samsung Galaxy S6 Active.Yes, there's extra heft to this AT&T-exclusive phone, and you won't find the bezel-free curved screen of the Galaxy S7 Edge to marvel at. But Samsung uses the increased thickness to its advantage in other ways.

Vodafone Smart Platinum 7 Phone Review

In July 2015, Vodafone turned the mobile phone market upside down by releasing the Smart Ultra 6. It offered medium-to-high end hardware at a budget price of just £125. Now Vodafone are trying to do the same thing with their new flagship, the Smart Platinum 7. Rather than being marketed as a budget phone, though, the Platinum 7 targets users after a premium handset, but at a lesser price of £300.
