If you've always wanted to have something techie and cool on your desk, and I mean more than your 32" LCD monitor, you should really consider investing in, or hinting to your spouse about investing in a digital picture frame. Digital frames (or digital photo frames) are like regular picture frames, only the picture isn't printed, it's like a little LCD panel with some special software inside that displays your digital photography inside an otherwise (seemingly) normal picture frame. |

If you're faced with difficult component sourcing issues, such as hard to find semiconductors, long lead time components, or obsolete ICs, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better e-commerce supply solution than NowComponents, a global web-based purchasing outlet.
Their full-service "one-stop" procurement website (if it's for sale they can procure it!) provides specialized support for OEMs and contract manufacturers, and their supplier quality rating system ensures the best parts at the best price - worldwide. You can't expect more from a online vendor supplier that literally stocks millions of parts (over twelve million in fact), and offers RFQ (request for quotation) bidding services for its customers. |

The Thermaltake SViking series is a good buy, with a few exceptions.
The sharp
edges were kept to a bare minimum and for the most part the metal was rolled
nice and neatly. The case offers a lot of room for optical and hard drives. The
cases airflow is designed well, but mark my words, you won't be able to take the
full speed setting for long." |

For those of us who are hardcore into flying games and simulators you're
going to want a controller with the most authentic feel you can get to add to
the overall effect. Individual joystick units with a small slider for the
throttle aren't much like a real airplane is it? Saitek has come out with what
they call their "X52 Flight Control System".
Just the name hints it's going to be
something big! How does separate joystick and throttle units with a small
display screen on the throttle sound? Oh, did I mention there's an uncountable
number of programmable buttons and illumination on some of the keys to add to
the effect? This is shaping up to be one heck of a controller, read on my
friends!

Corsair continues their watercooling line with products from Swiftech. Sure they
didn't actually manufacture it but they do make a nice bundle at a great price.
Plus you get a green bracket that Swiftech doesn't offer. |

If you are in the market to turn your computer into a handy TV with A/V
functionality and don't have the ability to use a PCI version, you really can't
go wrong with this product.
It is easy to install and setup, comes with ATI
exceptional multimedia software along with GemStar's GuidePlus which on it own
is worth over US$200 for its' subscription. The image quality is just as good as
all the TV wonder and All in Wonder videocard's that I have tested in the past. |
