With the growing demand of faster and more accessible internet, new technologies such as fiber optics are being introduced. It's only natural that companies like TRENDnet are coming up with innovative and easier ways to allow you to use this technology in your home. TRENDnet has recently introduced the TPL-303E2K 200Mbps Powerline AV adapter kit for specifically this reason. The TRENDnet TPL-303E2K uses the existing wiring in your home or office to provide a secure, high-speed network. By connecting one adapter to your router and the other to the ethernet port on your computer, you're able to easily give internet access to that computer just like it was plugged directly into the router. With support for up to 8 adapters, a network with many devices is able to be created. Within this article, Benchmark Reviews tests and benchmarks the TRENDnet 200Mbps Powerline AV Adapter kit TPL-303E2K.

"The Icy Dock Screw-less 2.5" SATA HDD USB 3.0 Portable Enclosure is a newer incarnation into the enclosure market. The Icy Dock 2.5" SATA enclosure veers away from the standard look of the average USB 3.0 enclosure. There are smooth lines and a luxury look. Definitely an enclosure that doesn't disappoint the eyes. Icy Dock took their popular eSATA and USB 2.0 model screw-less 2.5" enclosures and gave them a USB 3.0 makeover. The aluminimum body and vents allow for good heat dissipation and the USB 3.0 interface allows for maximum speed."

If you have a notebook computer of any size, you’ll want to have an appropriate notebook cooler to accompany it. Catering to the smaller end of the market is the suitably named ZM-NC1500 mini from Zalman. It’s one of the more compact laptop cooling stands on the market and that’s because it’s meant for more compact laptops. That makes sense. So let’s check it out and see if it really does (or doesn’t).

"When I was a kid, I wanted to play all these coin operated games but my parents didn't let me. From there on since I've
wanted to build an arcade gaming cabinet. Now that I have the technical skills and financian means, why not?!"

AMD has not been able to keep up with Intel lately which has caused them to lose out on parts of the market. Today we are looking at a X6 CPU from AMD, which they have named 1090T. Will this new six core CPU be able to compete with the faster Intel CPU?, lets take a look.

The XPC Barebone SH55J2 is another interesting product from Shuttle in which we can install any Socket 1156 CPU, with or without integrated graphics, add a single or dual slot video card, turning it into a gaming system or a nice Media Center for our living room.

The ASUS Cine5 has quite a few things going for it. First and foremost, it's footprint is significantly smaller than a traditional 5.1 speaker system so you don't need to plan out where you are going to fit all the pieces. If you are using it at your desk it should fit nicely right under your widescreen LCD monitor, and the sleek style will have it looking right at home at the same time.

A so called product ID or OPN description is on each AMD Phenom, Phenom II and Athlon II CPU,
but the product ID is not really easy to understand without studying several datasheets.
On the new AMD Phenom product ID guide v1.1 simply select the description of your processor
over the drop-down fields or type it directly into the new OPN field.
Then you will see the technical data and processor description below in the virtual CPU.
The service is of course free available over the web and it is also possible to control
this interactive guide directly with OPN data over online shops, forums, or web pages.

"This little performance preview is not all about the technologies and the intricacies of the game but a quick test to see what kind of performance you can expect to get with some of today's hardware from both camps. At this point, if you want eye candy and performance, you go with NVIDIA. Add in a separate card for PhysX and you see an increase in frame rate performance up to 1920x1200 on a G92 or lower end GT 200 based variant. You can get an idea of how performance measures up but as a demo, things will likely change and receive small tweaks to get the most from the game."

This past weekend, Gigabyte held its third GO OC NA final in Industry, California, and put fourteen of the best overclockers together in the same room and let them loose on Intel's Core i7-980X processor and Kingston's HyperX memory.

NZXT took the wraps off its newest Crafted Series case last month and, when it becomes available this September, the NZXT Phantom promises to the be an enthusiast favorite. With room for seven fans, a fully integrated fan controller, and an enthusiast-inspired design, it's easy to see why expectations of this case are high. Benchmark Reviews has been provided with an early sample and, hoping it will live up to the hype, we take an in-depth look at the Phantom Full Tower Case (PHAN-001BK) and deliver a verdict on this latest offering from NZXT.

While it is incredibly easy to use, the ATEN VM0404H is definitely
not for your average Joe.  However, for anyone who is an entertainment
enthusiast, it would definitely be something to consider.  While I really
wish ATEN polished off the front a bit more for those who don't have a rack
to hide the unit in and will be relying on the IR remote, function over
fashion is apparent and the ATEN VM0404H does exactly what it is meant to
do.  There's no fuss and with a little bit of cable management, you'll have
one networked entertainment system.

"Titan has decided to take a 'why fix what’s not broken' approach when creating the Fenrir EVO. Instead creating a new cooler from scratch, the EVO uses the same basic principles that made the Fenrir great, while adding a slick new color scheme and upgraded fan."

The idea of running multiple monitors for gaming has been a fantasy for games since gaming first came out. In the PC gaming world it has taken a long time to realize the full potential of the GPU and the limitation put on them from a single monitor setup. The amount of pixel pushing power in today's GPU has been screaming for a multi-display setup.
