Armed Assault (PC)
This (re)volution happened back in 2001 and today the game has a huge following. But even though Bohemia did an exemplary job with OFP, some aspects of the game left fans crying for more. Over the years the insane amount of mods available made most of the complaints moot, but the announcement of OFP2 still made a lot of people ecstatic. After years without a single word from Bohemia, fans started to get worried and after Bohemia lost the rights to the franchise things looked very grim. Luckily Bohemia didn’t intend to go down without a fight and the result of their strong will is Armed Assault.

Corsair Flash Voyager GT – Fastest USB pen drive in the world?
"Not only have the devices themselves got a lot smaller and faster, but these days there is a lot of extra functionality – such as encryption or the ability to run applications from your memory key – and you can even get ruggedized drives for those of us that have a habit of dropping things. With Windows Vista a new use for USB flash drives was introduced – ReadyBoost – and we are going to put the Flash Voyager GT to the test in that to see if it makes a difference. We will also be measuring the drive's performance in real world file copy tests and using HD Tech and comparing it against two other drives, the previous-generation Flash Voyager, and the SanDisk Cruzer Micro. So let us move on to the results and see if the Corsair Flash Voyager GT lives up to expectations."

Noctua NF-S12 and NF-R8 fans review
Case fans come in lots of sizes and varieties. Today I'm taking a look at two case fans from Noctua. While some fans are designed to be as flashy as possible, these fans from Noctua were engineered to be as quiet as possible. Some of you may already be familiar with Noctua, they recently launched a couple of very successful silent processor coolers but they also have case fans and chipset coolers. Noctua is an European company, they have their headquarters in Austria and they work closely together with the Austrian Institute of Heat Transmission and Fan Technology (Österreichisches Institut für Wärmeübertragung und Ventilatorentechnik, ÖIWV) to develop high-end sound-optimised cooling products.

CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD 1500VA 900W UPS Review
"Most of us never really think about the power quality our systems are fed. We use simple power strips or surge protectors, and generally never give the issue another thought.. That is, until you have a power surge or blackout, and lose that important article or term paper you've been working on for the past 12 hours. However, power outages and surges are not the only concern facing computer users, as poor power sources (low quality wiring, old homes, etc) can also create problems with fluctuations, which can damage you hardware or corrupt your data."

USB Drives For Ready Boost
"Last time we visited Super Talent they showed us some ?special? USB drives for Ready Boost, Windows Vista caching mechanism that at least in theory improves the PC performance. So what is special about them as any USB drive or memory card can be used for Ready Boost? What is different about them is the fact that instead of using the standard 4-pin USB connector, they use the 10-pin motherboard header connector and thus are targeted to be installed inside the PC (and not outside), directly on the motherboard."

Plustek OpticSlim M12 Portable Color Scanner Review
"In the past, scanners were big, bulky, and heavy. Having a flatbed scanner at your workstation meant that a significant portion of your desk would be taken up by it. Once, I hung a shelf over my desk to be used as a perch for my scanner. The problem was somewhat eliminated at the workstation by the "all in one" printer/scanner, since more space is taken up by a printer, but forget traveling with it. Today, I will be looking at Plustek's OpticSlim M12 sheetfed color scanner, one of several scanners in PlusTek's lineup. We'll see what kind of quality we can get from a scanner that will easily fit in a briefcase or backpack."
