rockdirect Xtreme Ti review
Reviews FeaturesThe base of the Xtreme Ti resembles a hovercraft -- four fans keep this beast from burning up when you're blasting away at enemy troops. All this generated heat needs to be dissipated by the fans, which are noisy but appear effective.

Apple MacBook Pro (2008 Edition, 15-in, 2.5GHz) review
Reviews The MacBook Pro remains the only laptop we can think of with a FireWire 800 jack -- along with the more common FireWire 400 -- useful for digital video fans, but we still think adding a simple SD card slot would be a huge plus for the Pro -- and...

Etymotic hf2 sound-isolating earphones review
Reviews Before our problem occurred, we definitely felt that bass response might not be powerful enough for fans of dance and electronic music. They're not great for drum 'n' bass fans and they don't work with some popular devices.

Alienware Aurora 7500 SLI review
Reviews To deal with this, there's a large power supply (480W) and two fans (80 and 120mm) that draw heat out of the machine. The larger of these two fans is mounted flush with the rear of the 7500 and evacuates air through a large perforated vent that...

Expert Technologies Fusion Multi Media PC review
Reviews But any advantage gained by the fanless motherboard is lost by the almost bizarre decision to include five cooling fans inside the case. One sits behind the power button at the front of the PC, another in the power supply, and two smaller...

Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 review
Reviews Intel has caught flak in the past for providing fan makers with inadequate TDP ratings, which resulted in overly noisy fans for the Pentium D chips that had to spin exceedingly fast to cool the chips properly.

Canon PowerShot S3 IS review
Reviews We're not big fans of electronic viewfinders, and the S3's didn't convince us otherwise. But the Canon PowerShot S3 IS's combination of features, performance and relatively compact design certainly gives superzoom fans a compelling alternative.

Zepto Nox A15 review
Reviews We're big fans of its matte black finish and curved edges, and even bigger fans of its performance and customisability. It's a big outfit, though. This Danish laptop-maker has grown since 2002 to become the self-proclaimed largest local...

Vita Audio R4 review
Reviews The R4 is a fine example of what can be built for radio-loving, CD-hoarding iPod-fans, but it's definitely best aimed at light rock, classical, country, folk, acoustic, pop and dance fans most of all.

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.4GHz) review
Reviews It's also the only laptop we can think of with a FireWire 800 jack (along with the more common FireWire 400), useful for digital video fans. We're still not fans of Apple's nearly obligatory extended warranty upsell.

HP Media Smart Server review
Reviews The bright lights are very distracting, and the internal cooling fans are far too noisy. It's let down slightly by its price and the incessant hum of the cooling fans, but if you're partially deaf or don't mind an extra soundtrack in your house...

OQO model 2 review
Reviews The cooling fans are usually active, except when the device is idling, but it never gets too hot. Our only gripe here is that the fans can get quite loud when running highly complex tasks. The OQO model 2 aims to capitalise on the apparent demand...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W5 review
Reviews Decent image quality, a versatile burst mode and convenient AA battery power make this Sony suitable for photo fans who want a pocketable camera with a useful set of mostly automatic features. A junior version of the 7-megapixel DSC-W7, the 5...

Sharp LC37RD2E review
Reviews We aren't fans of the built-in speakers on LCD and plasma televisions, but the speakers on the LC37RD2E were good enough for general use. The Sharp LC37RD2E is an example of this year's improvements, sporting 100Hz technology to make movies look...
