Whenever the subject of vacuum tube amplifiers is brought up, it is most likely that someone is discussing expensive hi-fi audio equipment. SonicGear brought this category of amplifiers to the computer world. Their i-Steroid 2.1 system represents a unique attempt at integrating “old-fashioned” vacuum tubes into the cold electronics and high-tech world. The name itself is obviously an allusion to iPod players and that becomes even more obvious by taking a glance at the device itself.

Very often short descriptions in manufacturer manuals for displays are: exceptional design and excellent performances which is the case with Samsung T220. If some monitor looks nice we can see that by ourselves when we take it out from the packaging, but when it comes to other manufacturer’s promise (about performances) we need to check them by ourselves for its authenticity. Samsung T220 satisfied the first half of its description from the moment we put it on the table.

This point-and-shoot camera gives impression of reliability and well built product. Canon IXUS 80 IS has all standard and expected functions without unnecessary “fancy” stuff that some manufacturers implement with intention to attract customers. Canon intended this model for users who desire modern, reliable and quality photo camera without any unusual functions (with limited usability). ...
SanDisk, as one of mayor flash memory manufacturers, naturally has big USB flash drive portfolio. It’s very hard to stand out, when there is a huge amount of different USB flash drive models from different manufacturers on the market. Generally speaking, you can only recognize a specific type only by its different USB casing. Design of casing is something that all manufacturers pay attention to attract more customers. On the other hand, in the eyes of final user a big plus is always bigger capacity and speed of data transfers.

This time we’ve compared two CPUs: Core2Quad Q9300 (this is the bottom model of current lineup) and Core2Extreme QX9650 (the top model of current lineup). We have experimented with QX9650, bringing down its multiplier so we got whole palette of Core2Quad processors from Q9x50 generation. To make evaluation of performances we have included in test even Core2Extreme QX6850 which is the top model Quad CPU from previous generation (65nm).

Cooling solutions 
Summer is ongoing, hot days are not good for your pet, so you prepared your processor, but cooler on graphics card is experience gradual fan failure. Irritating buzzing begins, and temperature of graphics card is increasing every day. It starts to annoy you, because only opening on the lateral side of the casing helps, yet buzzing gets even worse. Stubborn buzzing can be solved after all, and the answer lies in Batman. 
Do you frequently experience that after using notebook for long period of time, it seriously heats, due to simple reason its air flow is on the lower side? Of course, given it is insufficiently distant, there is no enough air, and its temperature constantly rises. Cooler Master has solution – NotePal W1, widescreen notebook cooler! 
Overclocking of graphics card is often limited by inadequate cooling solution provided by manufacturer and there is no other way but to look for DIY solution. Cooler Master's newest graphics card cooler, CoolVivia Pro, has 3 heatpipes for providing optimal cooling and it is clearly aimed at enthusiasts. However, is it better than Zalman’s VF900-CU? 
Every single one of you, prepared or not, will soon have to come to terms with the fact that the conventional cooling of the CPU needs to be replaced by a better, more efficient one, or simply stick with the default clock of your CPU, thus maybe even question the stability of the aforementioned in the upcoming hot summer days. In order to help you to find best solution, we tested 9 CPU coolers, courtesy of 5 different manufacturers. Lets cool down our CPUs! 
From the very beginning of heat pipe technology utility on desktop computers, the biggest “profiteers” were processors. No matter if CPU or GPU are cooled (or anything else) heat pipe always had an advantage comparing to classic cooling manner. The glorious story of CoolerMaster (at least when we talk about heat pipe) has begun with the representation of Hyper6 model. 
It is hardly unlikely that there is any hardware enthusiast who has not heard of company named Zalman. This South-Korean leader in the field of thermal solutions for various chips built its reputation mainly by producing coolers for processors. Over the course of time, palette of their products expanded. As the market got pounded by tide of increasingly hot graphics accelerators, Zalman saw his chance for expansion.
