Value for money Digital Processing Powerhouse

Wed, 27 Sep 2006 21:02:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jaymend - I decided to get this system after the sub on my old Logitech Z560 started rattling. The Z560 have served me well for almost 4 years so I thought replacing it with another Logitech is probably the logical move. The Package You get a lot from...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jaymend - Overview: The main reason I got a Slingbox was to be able to stream video from my Scientific Atlanta STB cable box, located in my family/media room, to any of the PCs I have at home. I am a news and sports junkie but I also spend a lot of time...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jaymend - Wireless Simplified First of all, let me start by mentioning that I am using a 2 year old Linksys BEFW11S4 version 2, 802.11b wireless router. This is running the latest 1.45.10 firmware revision which was released April 15, 2004 to fix newly...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jaymend - Intro A couple of months ago I promised my son an MP3 player if he improved his grades in school which is what he did. So for a couple of weeks I set out evaluating various players mostly reading reviews on the web. I already bought my other kid...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jaymend - Intro I decided to build a new PC dedicated to Linux and to playing Games on XP a couple of weeks back. I know Linux can be tricky to install on certain hardware as I have Linux running on another PC with an Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard and it...

TV with Split Personality! (See Important Updates at bottom)

Sun, 28 Dec 2003 15:23:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jaymend - Split Personality The reason I came up with this title is that I found out that the Samsung HLN567W not only makes for a great wide screen TV but also as a giant PC monitor! Yes a real PC monitor hooked up to a PC video card's RGB/VGA (15 pin)...

Shuttle SN 41G2 (SN41G2) PC Desktop: Small is beautiful

Sat, 11 Oct 2003 23:38:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jaymend - Okay, I admit I had my doubts when I first saw the original Shuttle at a retail store about 2 years ago. Sure it looks cute but can it play with the big boys? At that time I didn't think so but I followed the Shuttle's steady progress since then. About a...

Sun, 10 Nov 2002 01:24:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jaymend - Time was when PC cases came in just one color: beige. People then barely gave a second thought to the case that houses a PC's components. Today however, it seems that people are becoming more aware (obsessed even) with what case a PC uses. To some,...

Quality PC case on the cheap.

Sun, 13 Oct 2002 01:51:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jaymend - This mini tower case is relatively inexpensive but its construction is superb. I specially like the fully removable hard drive cage which can accommodate 3 hard disks. To release the cage from the chassis, all you have to do is to slide back the lever on...

Great game for those with the hardware to run it.

Sat, 5 Oct 2002 20:50:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jaymend - I suspect this game will probably be not as popular as other great games like Half Life, Return To Castle Wolfenstein, and even Medal of Honor, despite being better than any of them IMHO. Why? Because of this game's hefty system requirements as well as...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jaymend - Visual Studio .NET is so big that I would just structure my review so I touch on what in my opinion are its greatest features based on my experience of using it since Dec 01 up to the present (Aug 02). I have been using this tool since Release Candidate...

High quality at reasonable price.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jaymend - I ride a bike to commute to work 2 to 3 times a week and to maintain fitness on weekends. I probably do around 200-250 km in my bike every week from Spring to Fall so I need a pretty solid bike. When I bought the Allez A1 Sport, I was planning to ride...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jaymend - My old Altec Lansing 3 piece set gave up the ghost last December after a prolonged session with Return To Castle Wolfenstein. I needed a replacement immediately so off I went to my favorite computer retailer. I was actually looking to buy the Cambrige...

Sat, 17 Mar 2001 13:49:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jaymend - I have always preferred external storage/backup devices to internal ones. I have an external Zip drive attached to my PC and prior to the HP 8230e, I had an HP 7200e external CD-RW. I have a couple of reasons for my preference for external devices:
