The QNAP NMP-1000 network multimedia player is a home networked appliance for playing the videos, photos, and music from either the internal SATA hard drive or other PCs or NAS devices on your home network. The player can be seamlessly integrated with your TV and stereo system for playing your digital collections in the living room or anywhere at home.
My first exposure to DLNA devices was lacking. It was the clunky standard that everyone “supported” in their own way, but no one really did well enough to call “working”. Fortunately it has slowly evolved on both the device and software layers to the place we are today, where DLNA is actually useful for many things like control and media playback on our TVs and mobile devices. The standard still requires some growth (mostly around synchronized playback) to take over the whole home audio space, but where that is not a requirement audio Digital Media Renderers (DMR) like the $132.60 ARCTIC Audio Relay we will review today can provide an excellent solution to single point music distribution within the home.
Now that you know a little more about all of the parts that are going into Lunchbox 3, today we are going to go over how well the installation went and then put it all to the test in a few benchmarks. This is where we can finally see how the part choices work out and talk about any regrets I might have with them. Of course I’m most excited to see how it all performs. Then this coming weekend I can finally put it to good use at a LAN.
Today we are looking at the latest Zotac Zbox Nano AD10 system, a diminutive, low cost computer, ideal for duties as a general workhorse system and for high definition media playback.
Following up on our Thermal Compound Roundup - August 2011 review, we are adding five more thermal compounds to our roundup, for a total of 40 different models from Akasa, Antec, Arctic Cooling, Arctic Silver, Biostar, Cooler Master, Coolink, Deepcool, Dow Corning, Enermax, Evercool, Gelid, Glacialstars, Nexus, Noctua, Prolimatech, Scythe, Shi-Etsu, Spire, Rosewill, Thermalright, Thermaltake, TIM Consultants, Titan, Tuniq, Xigmatek, and Zalman. In this review, we will determine if certain products are superior to others. We will also try another "alternative" thermal compound to see if it works.
Examining The SSD Industry - Researching The Controller or Processor is our third submission of several which examines the SSD industry from the ground up and provides some thought provoking ideals through the mind of Wayne Eisenberg, former VP of Worldwide Sales at SMART Modular. Within the series, topics will explore such things as the benefit of proprietary NAND in SSDs, the importance of the controller, firmware, warranties, as well as the changing face of the SSD arena as we see it. All reports are the thoughts and opinions of Wayne himself, a man who many would agree is probably one of the most versed in the industry, and has kindly agreed to open up the forum to discussion and questions by way of article comments.
We added five new thermal compounds to our previous roundup, for a total of 30 different thermal compounds from major brands. We also tried another "alternative" compound: toothpaste.
Building on the success of the RT-N56 Dual Band WiFi router, ASUS has been hard at work trying to create the next 'next-best' wireless router. Today, Benchmark Reviews brings you the ASUS RT-N66U Dual Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router. As you will see in the images that follow, the ASUS RT-N66U certainly looks the part and is different in that way from 99% of routers on offer today. The RT-N66U has three high power external antenna to allow simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals to run at up to 450Mb/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-N66U has "Leading giga-level throughput over 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-N66U has two built in USB 2.0 ports that allow you to share printers and USB st! orage over LAN and WAN, and also allows you to share a 3G/4G internet connection.
Verizon's Nokia Twist 7705 with its square design is a very different-looking cell phone. From its twist-to-open functionality to the circular light that changes color for different types of calls and messages, it also has distinctive features. In fact, it is so unique that we were impelled to take a closer look.
