ShockWave SU-201 Review @ OCC

"The ShockWave SU-201s were less than impressive and a letdown. The sound quality was only marginally better than what comes with my laptop, and they require power provided by the USB port while a second TRS connection is needed for the audio. The layout of speakers is also disappointing due to the location of the volume control dial. As the volume is increased on the SU-201s, distortion takes over and whatever you are listening to becomes nothing more than a muddy mess."

NZXT Sentry LXE Touch-Screen Fan Controller @ Techgage.com

Although NZXT produces a wide-range of products, its fan controllers have become one of the highlights of its line-ups. The reasons are threefold: features, performance and price. We were left quite impressed with earlier Sentry models, and we can say that NZXT has done it once again with its Sentry LXE.

Repairing a Broken GRUB 2 Boot-Loader on Ubuntu @ Techgage

There's no question that GRUB 2 brought on numerous improvements over earlier versions, but it also introduced a small downside... a relative overhaul to how things are done. There are no more menu.1st (or similar) files that keep a simple configuration, nor are all of the commands the exact same at the command-line. You might have been an expert with GRUB 0.x, but you'll still face a small learning-curve with GRUB 2.
