Thought our BlizzCon 2011 coverage was done? Well, guess again! Today, we conclude our coverage from Anaheim by featuring the hardware vendors who were present. We look at ASUS's X79 LGA 2011 Gaming Rig, LG's 3D desktop monitor that turns everything into 3D, SteelSeries' Diablo III Gaming Headsets and much, much more.

Are you a dedicated collector in need of a safe place to store your data? Or perhaps you have a company that needs to safely store large amounts of data in an easily accessible manner? Then Synology could have the perfect solution for you with its DS2411+, a NAS for 12 hard drives at an average price of around £1145.
£1145 is not pocket change of course, but if you think about it this amounts to less than £100 per bay, which puts the price inbetween the DS212j and the DS212. If you need the storage space now or in the near future, then the DS2411+ is not a bad solution based on the price. Provided of course that you have £1145 to spend.

For the last five years we've banged the NAS drum for their DLNA capabilities. Today we look at DLNA from the other end of the spectrum.

Many people who enjoy watching movies but don't really know much about technology have recently turned towards Blu-Ray players not only because of their very affordable price tags but also due to extreme simplicity, just drop the disk into the tray/slot, press play and that's it. I also used to do that, starting almost 14 years ago when i bought my first Philips DVD player and then with the EP35 HD-DVD player by Toshiba which although quite impressive and aggressively priced it eventually lost to the Blu-Ray format by SONY (it's worth checking out that story if you are not familiar with it). However during the last 5 years or so with the introduction of standalone hardware media players it became quite obvious that the next generation/future format would not be based on optical drives but in standalone media file formats capable of reproducing FullHD content like the extremely popular matroska video format (.MKV extension). RaidSonic has been manufacturing such media players for quite some time and their latest Icy Box IB-MP3011PLUS is more than enough to remind us of that.

As a simple NAS device allowing you to connect up to four USB hard drives to your network, the Seagate DockStar shines. Toss in the capability of using the PogoPlug online service, and the DockStar becomes even more valuable for the average consumer. It is extremely easy to setup and configure, and anybody that can follow simple instructions should be able to use it.

Arctic Cooling’s MX-3 thermal paste is currently one of the best on the market and is favoured by many enthusiasts as it performs very well and is non-conductive. In fact, KitGuru uses MX-3 to test most of the CPU coolers that pass through our labs.

Today we are taking a look at MSI’s AG2712A Gaming All-In-One PC. Hoping to change everyone’s perception of all-in-one systems, the AG2712A boasts an Intel Core i7-3630QM, AMD Radeon HD 8970M and two 128GB Plextor SSDs in a Raid 0 configuration. On top of that there is also optional touch screen functionality, a TV tuner card and a HDMI in port to connect a console.

We were duly impressed by the Brother MFC-J4510DW. It performs really well in many aspects. It looks good, has more than enough features and has a very nice control panel. The connectors are sufficient, and the presence of Wi-Fi Direct enables you to connect your mobile device to the printer without a router. The print quality is generally high. Especially photos look really great for a device that's sold as MFC and not as photo printer.

The Flip camera with its mini size and its capability to upload videos to the Internet rewrote the book on camcorders. Now big manufacturers are working not only to create a Flip-like video camera, but to up the ante with additional features. JVC is one of the first into the pocket camcorder fray. Their Picsio GC-FM1 is smaller than the Flip and has some new features. So we decided to take a look.
