Hardware Roundup for Nov. 30

If your notebook computer needs an upgrade in the hard drive dept., then you will want to head to Viper Lair and check out the review of the Seagate 100GB 7200RPM, which should prove plenty of storage. It’s somewhat pricy, but it will prove to be fast enough for your needs and give you lots of room to play in. Maximum CPU is taking a look at the Bluetake set that we reviewed on Monday, and they ended up with some similar conclusions. If your sound is not up to par, then you may consider the Logitech Z-5450 that Tech Zone is looking at. They are a tad pricy, but provides quite a boom.
