Mitsubishi DV172 
By blank blank, Staff Writers | 00:00 Dec 8, 2003 | Comment Now 
Innovation in technology is a grand thing. Without it, we'd all be stuck with blurry TFT monitors that totally sucked when gaming. Not any more. Thanks to the release of 16ms ...
 
VideoLogic ZXR-550 5.1 speaker system 
By Simon Peppercorn | 00:00 Dec 8, 2003 | Comment Now 
The new ZXR-550 is a direct upgrade, promising 'improved usability' and 'enhanced surround audio'.
 
Pinnacle PCTV Deluxe 
By blank blank, Staff Writers | 00:00 Dec 8, 2003 | Comment Now 
'PCTV' is a catchy name for Pinnacle's new TV tuner, but 'Deluxe' makes us a wee bit wary.
 
Iomega HDD 80GB USB 2.0 external hard drive 
By blank blank, Staff Writers | 00:00 Dec 8, 2003 | Comment Now 
As any file swapping fanatic will know, any hard drive can be a portable hard drive.
 
Monsoon Player 9 Audio System 
By blank blank, Staff Writers | 00:00 Dec 8, 2003 | Comment Now 
You gotta love the blurb on packaging: ‘A Truly Immersive Sound Adventure’. We were nervous just opening the box.
 
Apacer Audio Steno 
By blank blank, Staff Writers | 00:00 Dec 8, 2003 | Comment Now 
The Apacer Audio Steno is one such product, which packs the functionality of an MP3 player, USB memory stick and voice recorder into one tampon-shaped and sized package.
 
Hitachi CML174SXW 
By blank blank, Staff Writers | 00:00 Dec 8, 2003 | Comment Now 
The Hitachi CML174SXW is the first of this new breed of TFTs, and we’ve got to say that we loved it.
 
Thrustmaster 5.1 sound system 
By blank blank, Staff Writers | 00:00 Dec 8, 2003 | Comment Now 
This new offering from Guillemot appears under the Thrustmaster banner, and is aimed specifically at the console gamers and home cinema buffs.
 
Antec LANBOY 
By blank blank, Staff Writers | 00:00 Dec 8, 2003 | Comment Now 
Not quite so popular that the TV networks are going to scrap the cricket in favour of broadcasting the latest State of Origin Counter-Strike finals, but it’s fashionable enough ...
 
Thermaltake Xaser III V1000C 
By blank blank, Staff Writers | 00:00 Dec 8, 2003 | Comment Now 
Without doubt this is the heaviest bloody PC case we've ever strained our fifth vertebrae attempting to lift.
 
PALSONIC TFTV-151 
By Darren Ellis, Bennett Ring | 00:00 Dec 5, 2003 | Comment Now 
Primarily designed as a TFT television, the TFTV-151 offers incredible performance, but has a fairly heavy price tag preceding it. Coming first, or equal first in every one of ...
 
iRiver iFP-195TC 
By Logan Booker | 00:00 Dec 5, 2003 | Comment Now 
Walkmans. That guy at the bus stop hasn’t really contracted some nerve disease. No vigilante brain signals have hijacked his appendages, making them flapping about merrily. ...
 
JNC SSF-200 
By Logan Booker | 00:00 Dec 5, 2003 | Comment Now 
Perhaps the best characteristic of an MP3 player (when compared to Discmans and Walkmans) is its lack of moving parts. When there is less to fiddle with, there’s less to break ...
 
Apacer Disc Steno 
By Simon Peppercorn | 00:00 Dec 5, 2003 | Comment Now 
Ah. . . the price of portability. Gadgety, yet practical portable things can generally be a tad expensive, as is the case with the Disc Steno from Apacer.
 
Antec Sonata 
By Bennett Ring | 00:00 Dec 5, 2003 | Comment Now 
We’ve seen PC cases evolve rapidly over the last couple of years, from boring beige hunks of steel, to Aluminium wind tunnels, and now to tiny shoeboxes. Something we haven’t ...
 
HauppaugeTV-PVR-350 
By Vanghan Smith | 00:00 Dec 5, 2003 | Comment Now 
Hauppauge sounds like a scary rubber latex USB device, spawned from the evil heart of online sex-toy shopping hell.
 
X'S-DRIVE II VP2060 
By Bennett Ring | 00:00 Dec 5, 2003 | Comment Now 
The X’S-DRIVE II VP2060 is the latest plastic enclosure waiting to swallow a 2.5in laptop hard drive, helping to keep you fully filed up.
 
APPLE iPOD 
 
Accent HT100G 
By John Gillooly | 00:00 Dec 3, 2003 | Comment Now 
After an almost wholesale abandoning of the desktop form factor over the past few years it’s strange that it has returned, with slight tweakage and a new role. This new ...
 
Jazz JS9938 5.1 speaker system 
By Simon Peppercorn | 00:00 Dec 3, 2003 | Comment Now 
The Jazz JS9938 comes in an ‘A’ and ‘B’ series. For this review, we looked at the A series. The only difference is the external appearance, and if you check out the Sato ...
 
VideoLogic ZXR-750 7.1 speaker system 
By Simon Peppercorn | 00:00 Dec 3, 2003 | Comment Now 
The ZXR-750 is the latest from VideoLogic’s range of surround speaker systems. This isn’t a significant upgrade from the ZXR-500 and ZXR-550 systems -- after all they do ...
 
KISS DVD Player DP-450 
By John Gillooly | 00:00 Dec 3, 2003 | Comment Now 
Thanks to the boom in broadband there’s been an equally huge explosion in the amount of sharing of home movies on the Net, so much so most people have a few gigs of memory ...
 
Mambo X P353SD 
By John Gillooly | 00:00 Dec 3, 2003 | Comment Now 
You can pick up a 64MB MP3 player for fairly cheap these days. You can then down sample your MP3s so you can fit more than a handful onto the player and listen to the alright, ...
 
Polyview  CMV 1515 TFT 
By John Gillooly | 00:00 Dec 3, 2003 | Comment Now 
Generally, TFT monitors have been renowned to be disgustingly expensive flat items that display a nasty blur, most of which also have low colour depth and are ridiculously over ...
 
Mustek DV3000 
By blank blank, Staff Writers | 00:00 Dec 3, 2003 | Comment Now 
If you’re in the market for a digital camcorder you could probably only afford a tube of thermal paste with the change left over from a few grand.
 
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro 
By Simon Peppercorn | 00:00 Dec 2, 2003 | Comment Now 
Creative's Audigy series is unrivalled. With each new iteration, Creative adds a little more goodness to an already tantilising package.
 
CREATIVE i-Trigue L3500 
By Simon Peppercorn | 00:00 Dec 2, 2003 | Comment Now 
We rave about their gear so much, we must sound like a bunch of Creative fan boys. But they continuously surprise us with new releases so we can't help but gush.
 
KLIPSCH - Promedia GMX A-2.1 
By Simon Peppercorn | 00:00 Dec 2, 2003 | Comment Now 
The question here, is 'how loud is loud enough?' Surely these speakers from the Kilpsch Promedia series, would answer that question. The package screams 'bad ass', from the ...
 
Antec Minuet 
By Nathan Davis | 00:00 Dec 2, 2003 | Comment Now 
Also a slow type of dance, 'Minuet' is derived from Old French, meaning 'small and dainty'. To us that's just a blatant misspelling of 'minute'.
 
 
By Nathan Davis | 00:00 Dec 2, 2003 | Comment Now 
Sony has gone ahead and made a very sexy Walkman -- the titanium bodied Network Walkman NWMS70D. When seated in its dock, it appears as a light phaser from Star Wars ready to ...
