For those holding on to an aging HDTV or projector which lacks HDMI support, there are few options in a world where component (YPbPr) output is slowly being stripped away. In fact, until recently there were only two, the HDFURY II and HDFURY III; but with the lower model starting at $180, neither is a perfect option for the thrifty. Fortunately, there is now another solution provided by a company best known for their high quality HDMI cables; the MonoPrice HDMI to Component & R/L Stereo Audio Converter (MYCH01 / Product ID: 8125). With an asking price of $39.92, it is natural to expect some compromise; after all we often get what we pay for.

BlizzCon 2011 has wrapped up in Anaheim California and its safe to say that this year, unlike BlizzCon 2010, Blizzard had plenty to talk about. With a big announcement on the next World of Warcraft expansion, lots of talk about the next StarCraft 2 expansion and the finishing touches being put on Diablo 3.

Die Boxee Box von D-Link ist ein besonders interessanter Versuch, den Markt für Mediaplayer und Set-Top-Geräte mit einem einzigartigen Konzept zu erobern. Im Gegensatz zu vielen andere Geräten von der Konkurrenz stimmt bei der Boxee Box das Gesamtkonzept in Bezug auf Marketing und Markenidentität ganz genau. Der Käufer erhält kein langweiliges, hochtechnisches Spielzeug, sondern ein Lifestyle-Produkt.

The Mini Letter ML55 H61 PC from Viako comes with a modern and clean chassis design, made completely from aluminum and the ventilation is assured by a 40mm fan preinstalled on one of the sides. The product contains the high performance dual core from Intel, i3 2100 which can handle anything we'll throw at it besides gaming. The power consumption vs performance is great and the ML55 also features WiFi or Bluetooth capabilities to enhance the connectivity options.

Vor kurzem erst stellten wir euch mit der FC9 eine leistungsstarke Lüftersteuerung von Lamptron vor. Lamptron bietet jedoch eine Vielzahl solcher Steuerungen an, welche alle ihre Vor- und Nachteile besitzen. Bei der FC5 V2 handelt es sich um eine 4-Kanal-Lüftersteuerung, welche nicht nur die Steuerung von vier Geräten ermöglicht, sondern auch Temperaturen und Drehzahlen auslesen und diese auf einem Display ausgeben kann. Etwas "schwächer" fallen die einzelnen Kanäle aus und so kann die FC5 V2 "nur" 30 Watt je Kanal regeln, aber auch dies sollte für alle gängigen Anwendungsgebiete ausreichen. Wie sich die Lamptron FC5 V2 im Review schlägt, zeigen die folgenden Seiten.

There haven’t been very many products in the market that has truly fired me up and got me as excited as the MC001-BD. Many companies have tried to make HTPC that are compact and quiet but I usually find that I can do better for less. The MC001-BD is probably the first where I wouldn’t be able to do that. With over ten years experience in system cooling they were able to engineer an Entertainment Center that was both compact and passively cooled.

We have reviewed a number of media players in the past, from the Boxee Box to the Dune HD Smart H1 unit. The decision on which player is right for your home is never simple, given the wide array of options available to consumers and depending on their price points and needs. We hope our Media Player Comparison Guide has helped in the past and today the Pivos AIOS HD Media Center is up for an in-depth review to see how it performs. The AIOS HD Media Center is the new-found company’s only product offering, and like others, it aims to replace your need for a full, home theater PC (HTPC) with its affordable, smaller package.

Asus has shown us another solid product with the DRW-24B3LT. This well-rounded drive can write to a recordable DVD at up to 24x and testing showed that it's not only fast, it can also produce consistently reliable discs. The inclusion of a white faceplate is a nice touch, and the software bundle is useful for many types of CD/DVD projects.

One other small concern we have here is that this system is not cheap with the dock and two bulbs (one would be pointless) and then the user must also provide outlets for the bulbs to work correctly. We have all come to take things being ready to go out of the box for granted. And when it actually came to installing this system in an older house, it's very difficult. We know for a fact that many houses in Australia still use the old bayonet light fittings, so this is not really a good idea. You can just plug a normal speaker system in within a minute or two and have it up and running anywhere you want.
In terms of how it all sounded, things were a little bit mixed. We thought that for vocal material everything sounded quite good with reasonable clarity to the sound and enough volume to get things going. The mid-range frequencies were reasonably well defined as well, but probably just behind the high-end due to the size of the speaker driver used.
