Today we are going to take a look at one of the latest wireless routers from Netgear – the R6300. This offers the latest in dual-band wireless technology, supporting the 802.11ac specification. This should offer significantly better throughput than a 802.11n network, theoretically up to around 1,300 MB/s. We are very interested to see how the Netgear R6300 fares in our tests.

In the UK there are a growing number of system integrators to chose from when buying a new PC and with such a competitive market, it is not the easiest of tasks to decide who to buy your new system from. Whilst many people do opt to go for the bigger, more well known names such as PC Specialist, Overclockers UK and Scan, there are a whole host of smaller companies out there who strive to offer high quality systems and customer service alike.
For many people, including myself UK Gaming Computers are a company that until now I’ve never heard of. Formed in 2009, the Essex based integrator that have been building custom systems like no other in their thousands, offering unique paint jobs, modifications and even bespoke system builds on a per-client basis. As well as building systems, UKGC also offer an extended line of services which include laser panel cutting, airbrushing and even wrapping your system in caron fibre.
The companies main focus is on quality over quantity and this is how they have managed to build up a rapport for some of the best individual systems in the UK market. Up to this point UK Gaming Computers have never had one of their systems reviewed, so I will say that I am a little privileged to be the first person to take a proper look at one of their systems and give my thoughts back on it. The system that has been sent across to me is UKGC’s latest creation and also their new flagship mini-PC and goes my the name “Minos” – meaning the ‘Son on Zeus. As well as being a flagship system, the case has also been covered in a new prototype paint finish, which adds another style to the extensive selection of finishes that are already on offer.
The Minos starts from £1,629.99 inc VAT and can be purchased here, however the system that we have has had a couple of additions made to it and as a result is a little more expensive.

Over the past few years, The SSD Review has enjoyed a fairly smooth ride with little to complain about. It wasn’t until our readership explosion that we realized how important backups were. There is nothing worse than a site crash, other than a site crash which also contains a Forum of course. The sudden loss of days, weeks, months and even years’ worth of data cannot arguably be equal to that of valuable Forum members who hate seeing their threads gone. It happened.

Do you want a four-bay NAS without spending an arm and a leg? Do you need to be able to access it through the internet? Are you looking for some features such as DLNA but don't need the extensive (and expensive) array of features from QNAP and Synology? Then the D-Link DNS-345 ShareCenter Quattro is not a bad choice. It has a sturdy case, and is equipped with a display with a number of features. You do have to accept some peculiarities of this brand, such as how to configure the network ports and sharing folders. Since you can find it for as low as £199, for that kind of money this is a decent quality NAS.
