Hardware Roundup for Jan. 5

CES is now in full swing, so we should be seeing many reports as the days pass. Already some websites are posting information of what’s new, so be sure to scour through them. In reviews today though, including a fan controller over at Bjorn3D. It looks like it can do it’s job well, but despite being a fan controller… there is not much controlling to be had. Also in the modding dept. is the Matrix MX610 LED display. With this, you can display system temperatures, fan speeds or anything else you can think of. If you are looking for a killer mousepad to support your gaming habits, you may also want to check out Got Frag today for their roundup.
