Philips amBX gamers kit review
by Hilbert Hagedoorn
10/12/2008
Try to imagine playing a game with physical wind blowing on your face, the room illuminates depending on the game play monitor color tone and your desk starts to rumble in explosions. Philips made it possible with a new technology called amBX and here and now we are going to review it for you. Could this be the next big thing in the gaming experience ?
Eagle Consus I-Series SATA to USB review
by Hilbert Hagedoorn
9/5/2008
Here in the EU, decent external storage solution here costs like 60 maybe even 80 EUR easily. Which is over a hundred USD. So when the company Eagle contacted me and asked if I wanted to look at some of their devices the first thing I did was look at their pricing ... and I was shocked (in a good manner).
OnAir USB HDTV-GT
by Brann Mitchell
2/25/2008
OnAir Solution's USB HDTV-GT is a moderately priced, but full-featured HDTV adapter for your PC. It doesn't have the couch potato appeal that a real TV has, but this probably works better than your TV. With the GT you'll be able to record or pause your shows at up to 1080i resolutions, pulling from cable (QAM, unencrypted) or over the air. It will even do analog, while it lasts. Best reception of OTA signals does take a little fiddling with the antenna, but just a nudge can make all the difference. Highly recommended.
AlphaCool External 240x128 Display

Today we are testing this cute External LCD-Display with the colossal 240x128 Pixel dimensions. Now that by itself is cool, but the software controlling the unit is where the magic happens. You can display pretty much any system info, yet it goes way beyond that. RivaTuner is supported, Fraps, Mainboard Monitor (MBM), SpeedFan and it does not stop there.
3D Galaxy II & Blue Eye Water cooling review
by Hilbert Hagedoorn
10/27/2006
As you guys know by now water-cooling is one of the most efficient ways of cooling down a CPU. And it's not just efficient, it's usually very quiet to the ears and it can look fantastic in a system. What we'll be testing today is a water-cooling kit called 3D Galaxy II (GH-WIU02) and additionally to that kit something called the Blue Eye, which is water block for graphics cards that you can buy optionally with this kit.
Alphacool Ready2Go Stacker (Passive)
by Hilbert Hagedoorn
10/16/2006
Alphacool can deliver pre-fitted and modified PC Cases with water-cooling (prefilled and leak tested) installed. Today Guru of 3D will test the Coolermaster Stacker Silver with preinstalled water-cooling from their Ready2Go series of products.
Pretty much install your components and you are good to go. The beauty of this beast is the fact that it is passive water-cooling, the only thing connected to the power circuit is an inaudible pump. That means this system just does not make any noise, at least not that we can hear.
Icy Dock MB559US-1S review
by Ian
10/14/2006
Ok lets kick off this review of the ICY DOCK MB559US-1S external storage drive rack by saying wow! This little baby is a lot more than just a fun toy, it's a powerful tool with a thousand and one uses. Now there have been a lot of reviews on external data storage devices so I am hoping to put a new spin on this product.
Asetek VapoChill LS review (sub-zero cooling)
by Hilbert Hagedoorn
7/19/2006
To go way beyond a normal overclock .. you need to cool that CPU below zero degrees C and that's where the Asetek LS comes in. It's the most expensive and noisiest cooling solution around. It's difficult to install as you'll need to mod your case, you'll have to do crazy stuff with your CPU ... but the result really is simple, you can cool down the processor with a -54 Degrees C cooling block on that AMD heatspreader and that my friends is such a fun experience you won't believe it.
Matrox TripleHead2Go Surround Gaming
by Hilbert Hagedoorn
4/12/2006
The Triplehead2go basically is a small breakout box that takes the analog signal from your graphics cards towards the little box, which on it's end redistributes three analog monitor signals towards your three screens. The cool factor is intense .. I just played Age of Empires III for example in a resolution of 3840x1024.
Scythe Ninja Plus CPU Cooler
by George Panayiotou
4/7/2006
An old chinese wisemen once told me that a problem that plagues today's computers is the heat produced by the CPU. A little while ago when enthusiasts were on the lookout for a high performance cooler, they had to compromise, and that compromise was to be found in the noise department. Performance and silence didn't belong in the same sentence. If people wanted performance, they usually needed to buy a cooler that would either create a mini cyclone in their case, and most probably, sound like a jet airplane getting ready to take off.
