I was curious to see just how much fun these things can be. I’ve seen them on thinkgeek, woot, and in numerous catalogues before and have always been curious. After putting it through a comprehensive characterization process, I think it might be on my Christmas list! Continue reading

SilenX Ixtrema IXC-120HA2 Pro Series Heatpipe CPU Cooler Review @ Tweaknews

The Zowie Gear Mousepad presents itself as a cloth mousepad that has caught up with the times. It’s waterproof, durable, large in size, and will present the hardwearing feel of cloth once more.
