Corsair Flash Voyager GT 8GB
The demand for ultra-mobile storage and the quick development of flash memory during the past few years has led to the high popularity that USB flash drives enjoy today. Flash drives are rarely supplied from companies who manufacture mechanical drives; they are usually built by RAM manufacturers since they are basically flash memory without any moving parts. Perhaps the most reputable RAM manufacturer, Corsair, is no exception as they are one of the first RAM manufacturers which offered USB flash drives and one of the few which designs their drives to be extremely tolerant to abuse. Today we will take a look at their latest, largest and fastest USB 2.0 flash drive, the 8GB Voyager GT.

Apevia X-QPack 2 Review
"The front bezel houses two 5¼" drive bays and one 3½" opening, next to which is the LCD temperature display. Immediately below this is the spring-loaded steel carry handle. It retracts into the case when not in use but can easily be pulled out when you need to carry the X-QPack 2 to your next gig. Standard USB, Firewire and mic/headphone audio ports adorn the front next to power and HDD activity LED's. Power and reset buttons finish off the front panel features along with two mesh pieces on either side for ventilation."

BenQ FP241VW 24" LCD
"So it has bold styling, all kinds of connections, picture in picture, USB hub and so on, but how is it at gaming? Well, I played FEAR, Call of Duty 2, STALKER, Cellfactor Revolution at 1920x1200 and was literally blown away. It was by far the best LCD experience I've had on any display so far. 24 inches of LCD in front of your face when gaming needs to experience to be appreciated! There was no visible ghosting which is mandatory for any serious gamer. With a 6ms grey-to-grey response I expected nothing less."
