WD My Passport Slim 1TB Portable Hard Drive Review

When we took a look at WD’s My Passport Ultra last month, we gave props to its slim form-factor. Little did we realize, WD was set to launch the “Slim” model mere weeks later, whittling the drive down to a bit under half an inch. That’s not the only thing the Slim…..

Tt eSPORTS CRONOS Gaming Headset Review

Gaming peripherals tend to be one-note wonders: They’re good for gaming, but disappointing in most other tasks. Thermaltake apparently isn’t content to be painted with this particular brush, as its CRONOS taught this reviewer to never underestimate a product ever again. The gaming peripherals market space is a warzone. It seems like…..

Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 Mid-Tower Chassis Review

Fractal’s original Arc Midi chassis impressed us enough to become the base of our CPU cooler testing rig, so when we heard that a sequel to it was released, we couldn’t wait to check it out. With its beefy feature-set, semi modular design, support for up to a 240mm radiator and a…..

GIGABYTE Z87X-UD3H Motherboard Review

At its $160 price-point, GIGABYTE’s Z87X-UD3H brings a fair bit to the table. It offers a plethora of SATA and USB ports, for starters, even going as far as to include two internal USB 3.0 headers. Past that, it has a solid layout, and perhaps best of all, features one of the…..

Synology DS213+ NAS Server Review

A great thing about the NAS market is that competition is huge, and in our minds, Synology has done a fantastic job of making sure that this competition has been keeping on its toes. Each one of the company’s NASes we’ve tested to date have impressed, and fortunately, the DS213+ isn’t about…..

CM Storm Pulse-R Aluminum Gaming Headset Review

Killer looks? Check. Detachable microphone? Check. Detachable cable? Check. Bling? Check! Customizable ear cup panels? Check. On the surface, CM’s Storm Pulse-R gaming headset ticks all of the right boxes as a LAN-ready, eSports-oriented stereo headset. But what is it like to live and play with? Let’s put them on and find…..

The latest version of Acronis’ popular backup and recovery suite, True Image, has just been released, and once again, we’re taking a look at what’s new.

Saints Row IV Review: You Don’t Want to Miss a Thing

In a market chock-full of serious games, a series like Saints Row is a refreshing one. It’s far from serious, poking and prodding you until you finally give up and start laughing, while taking in all of the eye-candy. When The Third came out, it appeased current fans and developed a lot…..

Logitech Zone Touch Mouse T400 Review

Logitech’s Zone Touch T400 may look weird for the lack of some features you expect in a modern mouse – a scroll wheel, thumb buttons – and it might be easy to dismiss since it doesn’t boast a premium-level price point. But its revolutionary feature – a touch zone that takes the…..

Diamond UE3000 USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Review

Diamond’s UE3000 is one of the simplest products we’ve ever taken a look at, but it’s also one that could prove to be a life-saver if the network card in your desktop or notebook decides to die without notice. It also happens to be extremely reliable, causing us to forget we’re even…..

DuckTales Remastered Review

Uncle Scrooge is back, and he’s just as we remembered him from his NES days. With gorgeous visuals and immersive audio, DuckTales Remastered looks and feels like a modern game, but manages to pack one heck of a nostalgic punch at the same time. And at $15, it’s nostalgia done cheap. As…..

Quick-Gage: COUGAR Dual-X LED Fans (140 & 120mm) Review

Are you a fan of cooling efficiency, bling, and especially the two combined? If so, COUGAR’s CFD Dual-X LED fans are worth checking out. Ideally spec’d as fans to line the interior of your chassis, only part of the CFD series’ goal is to keep things cool. The other half is to…..

Steam Cards: How Do They Work?

When Valve introduced its trading cards mechanic on Steam this past May, I wasn’t sure what to expect, or sure if anyone would care. After the recent summer sale wrapped-up, though, I realized that you should never underestimate Valve. For better or for worse, trading cards are intriguing, so we’re taking a…..

Seagate NAS HDD 4TB Review

The arena for NAS-targeted hard drives has just welcomed a second combatant: Seagate’s “NAS HDD”. Like WD’s Red series, NAS HDD is designed to work well with RAID controllers, has improved vibration-reduction, and additional power profiles. Unlike WD’s Red, NAS HDD has a 4TB model. Let’s see how that one stands up.…..

Civilization V: Brave New World Review

Firaxis impressed us last summer when it released the excellent Gods & Kings expansion pack for Civilization V, so leading up to the launch of Brave New World, the game’s second expansion, expectations were sky-high. Did the company deliver yet again? Let’s find out, and get cultured in the process. When Firaxis…..

CM Storm QuickFire XT Mechanical Keyboard Review

When Cooler Master introduced its QuickFire Rapid last year, it seemed like it was a near-perfect mech. The only thing that let it down in some people’s eyes was the lack of a numpad, but now, a couple of years later, the company has addressed that with its latest offering, the QuickFire…..
