Nearly everyone who owns a laptop carries it outside the house or office at some point, and you really can't subject it to all the slings and arrows of this world. You need some sort of protection for your portable computer, but you may not want to lug around a full-fledged laptop bag or case. Some people like to keep things really minimalized and slim, else what's the point to buying these ultra-thin (and ultra-expensive) laptops?

After using the LG Flatron W2340VG 23-inch widescreen LCD monitor for a few weeks, the first word to come to my mind is impressive. Out of the box, the monitor is bright and the colors are deep and rich. Add the glossy and sleek design to all of that, and this monitor would make a perfect addition to anyone's computer desk.

Today for review I’ve got another product from our friends over at Geeks.com, this is one though that I was kind of excited about getting, sort of. I was more excited about getting it to stop arguments in my home, my kids fight all the time over things and anything to can stop that would be very nice. The product is a portable DVD player from Sylvania, model number SDVD8732, but it has one unique difference, it includes two 7” LCD screens so you can play the same movie on both screens. It includes straps to mount to car headrests so you can use it while traveling and it has a five hour battery.

Sunbeamtech have been around for as long as I can remember, however due to their limited product range, they often don’t get the recognition they deserve. This latest fan controller will hopefully continue their high-quality, high-value reputation. Personally I own a Scythe Kaze Master, so I know what a quality fan-controller should do

I am a big fan of airsoft. I not only have my own collection of guns, but I have a slew of upgrades attached to my equipment as well. To be honest, I would go as far arguing airsoft is much more fun and realistic than paintball; and hence, why I have invested so much time and money into such an expensive hobby. And as an airsoft enthusiast, I not only play the sport itself, but am also into many types of first-person shooter games, whether it is on my computer or on my Playstation 3 (This includes shooting up zombies with my colleague Jeremy during office hours, haha). And of course, as obvious as it may seem, camouflage is a very important aspect in the world of airsoft in being able to protect yourself from easily spotted by the enemy. Being a more defensive player myself, I tend to hide and sneak around while playing on the field, and usually, this includes fortified bunkers and protected shelters. Speaking of bunkers, recently, I so happened to have stumbled across a product that quite intrigued me. Until that point in time, I had never thought that such a military theme could be implemented so nicely in the world of computers, other than the fact that shooter games are available for play. When I first saw the NZXT Bunker on the manufacturer's website, I immediately thought to myself that this is a must-have accessory, especially for computer enthusiasts like yours truly. The name itself already provides me with a good idea that it will provide some physical security to my peripherals, whatever it may be designed for. Further investigation tells me that it protects your USB cables and flash drives from being easily taken, especially when you are at LAN parties. Without further delay, let's read on to see what I have found out about the NZXT Bunker!

Recently, I wrote an op-ed piece here titled "The Fast Enough Computer". I argued that for gamers, low- to mid-range components provided the most bang for the buck and could readily play most modern games. The metric I used was "30 frames per second at 1680x1050". In this follow-up, I build a system based on the components I thought would be adequate and test the result with several modern games.

Stylish and router are two words that would not normally be put together in a sentence without a negative term preceding them somehow, but the tables are turning now as we look at the latest offering from ASUS. Today, Benchmark Reviews brings you the ASUS RT-N56U Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router. As you will see in the images that follow, the ASUS RT-N56U certainly has an air of class about it and is different in that way from 99% of routers on offer today. The RT-N56U has five built in antennae to allow simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals to run at up to 300Mb/s concurrently, this allows you to stream HD content to your media devices (5GHz) while you enjoy uninterrupted wireless internet (2.4GHz). On the box ASUS claim that the RT-N56U allows for true Gigabit WAN to LAN throughput (900Mb/s) but as with most claims this doesn't always come true, our testing threw out some good numbers but nowhere near ASUS' claims. The ASUS RT-N56U has two b! uilt in USB 2.0 ports that allow you to share printers and USB storage over LAN and WAN, and it also allows you to download to your USB connected storage device while your PC is turned off.
