USB 3.0 is here to stay folks. It leapfrogged eSATA and is reay to hold off SATA 3 for a little while at least. However, unless you want to fork out for a brand new motherboard, you’re out of luck if you want to take advantage of this new speedy platform. However one way to go is to grab yourself an add-in card like this one from Silverstone, the EC03 which also comes with a front panel 3.5″ connector.

Die Miniaturisierung in der Technikwelt schreitet unaufhaltsam voran. Wer heute noch glaubt, ein PC müsse in einem Tower stecken, der irrt gewaltig. Das beweist Zotac abermals mit der neuen ZBox Nano. Dabei handelt es sich um einen vollwertigen Mini-PC, dessen Grundfläche kaum größer ist als die einer CD-Hülle. Die verbaute AMD-Fusion-Plattform verspricht trotzdem passable Performance und kann dieses Versprechen auch halten!

Fan controllers are a peripheral that get very little praise from the enthusiast crowd. We seem to just use them and not take too much notice of the way they change our computing experience for the better. If you stop and think, it is easy to realise how important fan controllers are in daily usage scenarios, I can’t imagine anybody loving the loud noise of their fans on 100% speed 24/7.

Raidmax ist hierzulande schon seit der Jahrtausendwende als etablierter Gehäuse-Hersteller bekannt. Speziell die Modelle Scorpio, Aztec und Samurai sind vielleicht nicht namentlich, aber dafür optisch vielen Anwendern ein Begriff. Durch solche Gehäuse erwarb sich Raidmax sehr schnell einen Ruf als Gehäuse-Hersteller von farbenfrohen und verspielten Frontbereichen. Obwohl recht innovativ, waren viele Anwender noch nicht bereit für soviel Experimentierfreude. Weshalb solche Gehäuse dann auch vornehmlich im Kinderzimmer landeten.

Some of our recent enclosure reviews (SilverStone TJ08-E, Fractal Design Define Mini) have featured external USB 3.0 ports requiring a connection to a 19-pin header required by the USB 3.0 specification which poses a problem for most motherboards to date. While SilverStone was kind enough to provide an internal USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 adapter with the TJ08-E, it would be ideal to take advantage of the USB 3.0 capability. Enter SilverStone’s EC01 PCI Express card providing a 19-pin internal connector capable of supporting two USB 3.0 ports.

That is where wireless repeaters or "range extenders" come into play, they allow you to extend your wireless coverage to distances greater than your access point at home can do on it's own. Lately the trend from many consumer network manufactures is bringing to market these range extenders. Today we were able to review one of the new 802.11N range extenders from Netgear, the Netgear Universal WiFi Range Extender WN3000RP.

The idea of universal remotes is nothing new, as is the idea of interactive smartphones. What has only been done sparingly, and mainly with home theater PC (HTPC) focused consumers in mind, has been the leveraging of your smartphone with your home theater. Griffin has made a name for itself for more general consumer electronics components, but is aiming to step in our world today with the Griffin Beacon remote device, which is aimed at the more general home theater user in place of a traditional universal remote. It’s idea is simple--merge the online capabilities of your iPhone (Android coming soon) with traditional infra-red (IR) devices.
