Does it appear to you that the hardware market is increasingly oriented towards the gaming population? The cycle for presenting new gaming products seems to have been reduced to a couple of months for some companies, and that’s the case this time around as well. Cooler Master has done their best to expand their offer of gaming products by inserting the Sirus 5.1 gaming headset into the Storm family. Aware that Cooler Master has rarely been the one to disappoint, especially with the Storm series, we’ve been more than eager to get down to testing the headset.

When you’re connecting your notebook to the already established and well-known network, everything runs smoothly. However, when you’re in need of a functional network on-the-go as quickly as possible, you may encounter numerous issues. D-Link’s DAP-1350 is one of those devices that’ll help you look upon detailed and numerous settings as a thing of the (ugly) past. With internet invading everywhere, wireless networks are a common feature of modern homes. During the past decade, networking gear was slowly finding its way towards home users, first by lowering prices all the time, then by adding the wireless networking features, and finally by improving performance, both in terms of speed (B, G and N standards) and security (WEP, then WPA and MAC filtering). When everything was optimised enough, manufacturers turned their attention to simplifying the setup process, in order to make the technology as user-friendly as possible. We can freely say that D-Link has always been one of the leading companies in this respect.

Cooler Master. Enclosures, coolers, fans, even PSUs. All of these, segments where they set new standards, one might say. However, about two years ago, they bit well into another major market segment - gaming mice. They went in very offensively, with the intention of presenting the Cooler Master Storm series to the widest gaming audience, particularly the Sentinel model, the heir to which we’re now reviewing. At first sight, one might ask - so where are the advancements? But let’s have a more thorough look...

In order to create a good SOHO wireless network environment, one always has to provide reliable equipment. In order to avoid the regret of not having chosen equipment more wisely when first setting up the network (unlike some of us), make sure you look comprehensively at the current market situation. If you don’t have a personal contact that would provide adequate advice, cruise the internet a little and take a look at what others are recommending. It’s likely in both cases that you’ll end up in the default product gamma of a large manufacturer, but at times, you may be surprised by the quality of the solutions offered by other familiar names in the IT field. This is one such occasion, and we’ve had the chance to thoroughly examine two of ASUS’ wireless solutions, namely DSL-N10 (modem/router) and a dual-band router RT-N56U.

Cooler Master has entered the gaming mice market last year, perhaps in a shy way, but definitely unexpectedly. After a very successful debut model, they've decided to stick to the route, and a year later, we've got the successor, named Inferno. At first glance, it seems that all troubles that plagued the first iteration (if any) have been rectified, giving us a seemingly fantastic mouse.
