Link to article (Overclockersclub.com)


Have you ever been on the road taking tons of pictures of a particularly beautiful landscape, when your memory card runs out of space and you dont have a spare? The Cirago Smart Mobile Storage could be just the solution to this
problem. A 7-in-1 card reader is bundled with a hard drive and a battery, to allow you to copy all the data from your flash based card and put it onto the internal hard drive - a clever solution to a problem that hasn't been very well explored. Will this hard drive enclosure / card reader be able to keep up with other external enclosures, while adding some extra functionality? Let's find out.

Review: C4 NGen

Link to article (Overclockersclub.com)

The C4 NGen series of mouse pads integrates an old concept with a new design idea. The old concept is that of Teflon, the slick surface which almost everyone is familiar with, while the new design idea is, of course, applying Teflon to the mouse pad. Three separate items were sent for this review. The C4 NGen, a traditional mouse pad with the Teflon surface and a thin foam backing, as well as the C4 NGen04, which is just the Teflon surface with a non-slip coating on the back. The final product that was sent was a set of 30 "3/4 inch discs" that are also Teflon, which provide a Teflon-on-Teflon connection between the mouse and the mouse pad itself. Will this novel concept skid its way to the top of the pack? Or will it slide down to the bottom?

People like lots of things on a stick. Ice cream, hot dogs, and...fans? Thats Antec's hope with its product, the Spotcool. This little device has a small fan on the end of a bendy stick that can screw onto several different places inside your computer. The Spotcool can then be directed to point at most components in your case to help provide some extra cooling.
