Hardware Roundup for March 30

Tech Report is taking a look at the brand new board from ABIT, the AN8 32X. It turns out to be a great board, but there are better offerings out there for extreme overclocker’s. It’s also odd that there is only a single lan port! Hardware Review takes a look at a great keyboard/mouse combo for your HTPC or even your standard PC. The keypad can split off of the keyboard, and the kit includes an MX1000. It was good enough to get a 95% score on their scale. For a high-end ATI round-up, check out Firing Squad. They are taking a look at cards from five different companies, including ASUS, MSI, PowerColor and Sapphire. Check it out to see who came out on top.
