SonicGear i-Steroid 1

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. ...

 

Samsung T220

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. ...

ImageOne could say that AMD finally got bored with dragging its offer and decided to finally do some decent work with the new models. Here we have a completely new card, destined to impress both the press and the market. The market situation seems to get better and better as far as end-users are concerned. When we first received the GeForce 8600 and Radeon HD 2600 cards, the basic criticism was drawn to the 128-bit bus, which we thought was too narrow and made a distinction between the mid-range and upper-range cards too obvious. The gap was simply too great. If we take a look at the situation one month ago, we can see that the difference in price between the 8600GTS and the 8800GTS (320 MB model), for example, was an entire 90€.

 

The 7 series (or its X1000 counterpart) didn't seem to have these price range problems, with models appearing on occasion which would fill in the gaps. This time, the market situation remained unchanged for nearly a year. Well, for all those who were waiting for the optimal model, it's time to rejoice.
