Lexar JumpDrive Lightning
Published in Drives, Reviews | Written by Rhys
Nowadays everyone has a flash drive. The prices for USB drives have fallen dramatically in recent years meaning it’s now a good time to replace your old sluggish drive. But why would you want to do this? Well, with the release of Windows Vista and Ready boost (enabling you to use Flash Drives as RAM); the transfer speeds on many drives has increased so transferring your files will be quicker than ever. Also, programs can now be installed on drives, enabling you to run Email Clients, Office Tools etc all off of your USB stick. However, to do this, a vast amount of disk space is needed on your drive, but don’t fret, 4GB flash drives can now be had for around £30. Today we’ll be testing a new drive from Lexar, the 4GB JumpDrive Lightning, lets see if this drive really lives up to its name.

Noiseblocker NB-X-Swing

Computer Silencing has gotten quite serious in recent years. Low dBA Fans, Heat Pipe CPU Coolers and Sound Proofing are the main products a Silent PC would contain. However, there is one area that should probably be tackled first, this is, Hard Drive Silencing. The churning of Hard Disks is quite possibly the most annoying sound for most enthusiasts, this is why NoiseBlocker have created the ‘NB-X-Swing’ – a Dual Hard Disk Drive Noise Reducer.
Nova Winner 3
Published in Mouse Pads, Reviews | Written by Jasper
With games becoming more hectic, and requiring faster reflexes, arises the need for outstanding mouse pad surfaces to provide the level of accuracy needed to successfully dismember any enemy stupid enough to come into your line of fire. Nova was established in 1993 and has succeeded in producing outstanding mouse surfaces ever since. One such mouse mat is the Microptic Winner 3. Designed as a successor for the killer 2, offering the same quality surface in a smaller size, it is said to offer “various new innovations, developed especially for gamers”. I plan to put this to the test and see how good it can really be.
