Review Roundup – December 12th, 2008
Icrontic.com has a review up of the Chill Pill speakers – come on.. you gotta love these speakers. With a name like that – how could you possibly go wrong right? In all seriousness – you have to love these speakers simply because of the size!! Here’s what they thought of the Chill Pill speakers:
“In sum, Small Dog’s Chill Pill speakers fit the bill: they’re small, self-powered, self-contained, portable speakers with surprisingly good sound. These perfect stocking stuffers for the traveling techie run about $40 and arrive with a one-year warranty.”
Looking for a solid state drive for your desktop PC? How about one that connects via a PCIe slot? That’s right TweakTown takes a look at the Fusion-io ioDrive – a PCIe expansion card that offers 80GB of solid state storage space. Here’s what they think of it.
“The Fusion-io ioDrive is the fastest storage solution available on the market today. When compared to other types of enterprise storage, the price becomes invisible. “
LegitReviews has a review of the MSI Radeon HD4830 Video Card here on their website. Here’s their verdict:
“MSI comes through again with a well designed graphics card to fill a hard fought spot in the battle for your gaming dollars. With an excellent showing in Call of Duty 4 and Crysis Warhead, the Radeon HD4830 from MSI is definitely worth taking a look at.”
I didn’t realize NZXT entered the mice market but apparently they did. Two sites are out with reviews of their first mouse – the NZXT Avatar Gaming Mouse. First up is Big Bruin’s review of the Gaming Mouse.Here’s their verdict:
“This may be NZXT’s first foray into gaming mice, but they have produced a solid initial offering. The Avatar seems to mix elements from other popular gaming mice with a bit of NZXT’s own innovation to create a recommendable product.”
The second review comes from ThinkComputers.org. Here’s what they think of the mouse:
“Overall the NZXT Avatar mouse is a pretty good mouse for NZXT’s first attempt at one. “
TweakNews has a review out for the Thermaltake Soprano Aluminum Keyboard. Here’s a snippet from their review:
“The Soprano is a great keyboard for general internet surfing, email and occasional document preparation. If a larger, classier version of a laptop keyboard sounds appealing to you, then it will be a welcome addition to your home office setup for years to come”
Hard drives running too hot? Check out Overclockers Online review of the Vizo Orbiter Hard Drive Cooler here on their website. This funky looking cooler screws to the bottom of your internal hard drive and attempts to lower temps by improving the airflow around the drive. But does it work?
“All things considered, the Vizo Orbiter is a well-designed, useful, and effective hard drive cooler. It is quiet and works well but there are a couple of things that could be improved.”
