I bought this as a refurb from Tigerdirect here for $229. When I saw this deal I had to jump on it. I reviewed the Asus 1000HE Netbook back in February 2009 and was instantly in love with it. There were a few annoyances that hopefully have been resolved with this current model. The 1000HE cost $385 at the time, but this newer 1001P was only $229! The battery upgrade is what primarily caught my eye. Asus claims it gets 11 hours! The older Netbook boasted a 9.5hr battery and finished the review at 7 hours and 50 minutes, so I'm looking forward to how well this unit scores.

Are you tired of spending your hard earned cash on ink for your inkjet just so you can label your CDs and DVDs, or equally tired of paying a premium for Lightscribe discs? What about trying to read what you, or someone else for that matter, scribbled on a freshly burned disc with a Sharpie™? Good news, there's an app for that, and it comes bundled with LiteOn's new iHAS524 LabelTag optical drive.
If you do a Google Search for Labeltag, you will see that this has been in the rumor mill for quite some time. Was it worth the wait? Check the jump to find out.

I purchased two Android Tablets for this round up. They are both 7 inches (16:9 800x400) and weigh less than 12 ounces. They have 2GB hard drives of which 900MB is taken up by the Android OS (Version 1.6). There doesn't seems to be any sellers through normal channels, so I bought both of these units on eBay for about $130 each. Read more...

A few years ago the Full Tower form factor was the go to size for those enthusiast who wished to cram the most into their PC, then something happened and we saw a move toward more small, efficient PCs. The large PC case trend has returned, mainly due to the fact that component size has increased, component numbers have increased, and cooling solutions have grown larger, all of which require a full tower case. Today I take a look at one of those full tower cases.

Anyone who has had their notebook's power supply die on them knows the hassle of ordering a new one from the manufacturer. The alternative to buying an OEM unit is to buy a universal notebook adapter. This is usually less of a hassle and will most likely save you a few bucks. Today Cooler Master released its award winning USNA 95 Slim Notebook Power Supply. I have had the a testing sample on my bench for the last week and would like to share my thoughts on it with you.

Once again, we are pleased to bring you a review on a Thermaltake product. This time, it's the V5 Black Edition mid-tower case sitting as the unwitting victim on my test bench. With a nice low unit cost, and a well balanced spec-sheet, the case is already looking making some impressive noises. All that remains is to throw a system in her and see if she delivers where it counts... Read on...

The folks at Enermax have decided to put a little fire in your system with the new Volcanus midsized tower case. Whether you like it subtle or bold, they have a Volcanus that is guaranteed to add a bit of Hot Rodder style to your case. The Volcanus semi gloss black exterior comes adorned with a subdued set of gloss black flames, but this case is not all show and no go. It's got plenty of airflow, so the performance matches its snazzy exterior.

Continuing my RAM review series, I take a look at a low cost high performance DDR3 dual channel kit that is strenuously tested at the factory to provide you with a more stable system and lower temperatures. Oh and did I mention it can easily be overclocked to 2000MHz? ...more...

Just a few years ago water cooling your PC was a dangerous and very expensive undertaking for the average PC enthusiasts. It required a lot of part sourcing, and modifications to components that were never meant to cool a PC. Today there exist more than a few ready-made kits from a number of manufacturers. In the early days these kits gained a reputation for being of poor quality, having low efficiency, and were prone to fail. Fast forward to 2010 and things have made a major turnaround. Today I am going to take a look at one of the ready-made kits.

Ok, we like different. That's why we're here. We like things that are not like what the neighbors have. Most of us make the things we have different on our own, that's what modding is, but sometimes we just want to be able to buy something off the shelf that's a little off the norm. When it comes to computer cases, the designers at In-Win Development are pretty reliable in that respect. We've already looked at the Ironclad and the F430 cases, as well as the 'Na hard drive enclosure. Today I was given the opportunity to poke and prod at their latest case, the Dragon Slayer...more...
