Nvidia GTX 780
It almost feels like we have been seeing the 600 series of cards from Nvidia for a few years now. At a year and two months we are a little past due to see a new generation of cards and today we can finally take the wraps off of NVidia’s latest card, the GTX 780. Rumors have been going around for a while on this launch so let’s just jump right into it and see what it’s all about and then how it performs. One thing is for sure, this will be the start of a lot of exciting cards, and 2013 is going to be a good year!
A year later: Transformer Prime
I’m going to come clean to you guys/girls. I have had tablets for the past 2-3 years and for the first few years, I really never put them to use. I found them to be cumbersome, slow, and there just wasn’t enough reason to use them. Frankly I could do it all on my phone just as well, with a smaller screen of course. About a year ago I had a Transformer Prime come in. With Nvidia’s Tegra 3 quad core CPU I was intrigued and the optional keyboard was icing on the cake. I decided to REALLY give it a try and see what I thought. A year later I want to talk a little about my experience.
Truly Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard Model 207
When it comes to ergonomic keyboards there are only a few to pick from and, for the most part, all of those are rubber dome keyboards. Ergonomic mechanical keyboards are really limited to two different models, one being the Truly Ergonomic. Today we are going to take a look to see how it compares to everything I have tested to date. I expect an adjustment period just to its shape alone, but as a writer by trade I am very curious how it will affect me day to day. The gamer in me is just as curious on how it will perform in game as well. Let’s take a closer look.
Genius Ring Mouse 2
When it comes to pointers for the computer there are multiple solutions. Most of them come in the traditional flat on a mouse pad form, but occasionally a company comes up with an innovative way to control the pointer on our screen. Genius has developed a “ring mouse” and I have the pleasure of looking at their second version of this particular design in the Ring Mouse 2. I will look at the device’s versatility and functionality in this review and see how it stacks up not only as a pointer, but also as an alternative solution to our browsing needs.
Asus Maximus V Formula
Let’s be honest, Asus has a whole product line full of good motherboards. So much that it really takes a special motherboard to stand out from the crowd. There has been one specific board that has stuck with me for the past year and a half though, back from when I took a visit to the Asus office and they pulled it out to show me. That motherboard would be the Maximus V Formula. I’m sure you are wondering what made it stand out, especially considering all of the motherboards we have in the office, including boards like the Rampage IV. Well I only have a limited amount of space in the opening; you will have to peek inside our review to find out.
Stand-out features of RAIDMAX's new SEIRAN case include front panel controls for fan speed and internal LED brightness, unlike competing PC cases which disturb you with noisy cooling fans and light up rooms with excessively bright LEDs, SEIRAN is easy to live with.
This case combines cool design with uncompromising strength and amazing versatility, just like its namesake, the submarine-launched Aichi M6A Seiran single-engined aircraft, which even today is still recognized as one of the most innovative naval fighting aircraft ever constructed.
SEIRAN is designed to be easy to assemble and easy to upgrade. Convenient handles on both side panels make it easy to slide the panels out and back in. These handles fold away when not in use. RAIDMAX's click-lock technology makes installation or removal of disk drives remarkably simple: no tools are needed. Disk drives just slide smoothly into their bays and lock into place. SEIRAN's drive bays do away with PC assembly hassles like finding the correct screws or fumbling with dropped screws inside the case.
SEIRAN can provide strong and steady air flow to lengthen the life of your expensive PC components. There are two 120mm fans, one at the front and one at the back, for optimum cooling effect. The front panel fan control lets you easily reduce fan noise. The optional side window 120mm or 180mm LED fan not only keeps your system cool but also makes it look great with a dimmable LED in a choice of either red or blue, depending on your selected chassis color scheme.
SEIRAN's advanced cable management and protection features improve airflow and keep cables clear of fans. The specially designed cable retention ring keeps internal cables under control. The mesh expansion slots and mesh drive bay covers provide optimal cooling for your expensive disks, graphics card and other components.
SEIRAN future-proofs your PC investment with almost limitless expandability and an upgrade path for any scenario. There are 9 drive bays, all with meshed bay covers, so there is definitely enough room for 9 external expansion cards in total for serious server applications. Back panel tube outlets make it easy to upgrade the case with a water cooling system if required. Light but strong 0.5mm steel keeps your valuable PC components safe.
Even though SEIRAN is tall, thanks to its ample expansion space, specially designed feet keep it rock steady, even on carpet and other soft surfaces. The PC's power supply installs at the bottom of the case to provide enhanced stability and enhanced cooling. A full-sized PSU fan filter keeps harmful dust out of your system. The filter slips out easily for cleaning – there's no need to open the case.
Front panel audio and USB ports provide easy access for peripherals and media devices. The case has two 2.0 USB ports and one USB 3.0 port. A carrying handle on the top of the case makes it easy to move it around, making SEIRAN ideal for LAN parties and similar applications.
The new SEIRAN from RAIDMAX offers stunning design, unsurpassed ease-of-use, and amazing expandability. Once again, RAIDMAX is raising the bar in PC case design.
