Belkin 8-Port Network Switch |
WebMasterP
There comes a day in every news poster's life where there just is not much going on. Today is one of those days. The only information I've received that had a working link is BlargOC's review of the Belkin 8-Port Network Switch. While it's not the most exciting product ever reviewed, at least it's something.

Ice Hardware has taken a look at a DION USB Memory Drive. This unit is only 16MB so it's not a high capacity storage solution but it's going to be good portable data solution.

If you asked me to yell out the first hard drive manufacturer I could think of Samsung would not be my answer. In all actuality, it probably wouldn't even be my 3rd or 4th. Samsung just is not a company that I associate with HDDs. However, I think Samsung would like it if you and I did just that and you can start by checking out TechwareLabs' review of the Samsung SP8004H 80GB and SP4002H 40GB HDDs.

Every once in a while an article comes to my attention that fits into the category of "Hrmmmmmm". Today, Future looks has fit an article into that category with their write up A Psychological Perspective on eBay. It is actually a full five pages on this guys perspective on eBay. It might be worth a read if you are bored at the office or something. I do not think the guy has a PhD in Psychology or anything but, still, opinions are always interesting.

GlobalWin has always been one of my favorite heatsink makers and their CAK series of heatsinks has always been one of my favorites (mostly because pronouncing the acronym sounds like someone from Boston trying to say Cock). Anyway, ExtremeOverclocking.com has give the GlobalWin CAK4-86 a good looking over. Check it out.

To be honest I usually don't give a rat's ass about thermal pads. However, Tech PC has reviewed the Akasa ShinEtsu Thermal Interface Pad. I figure if they are going to bother writing a review on a thermal pad it might just be worth a look.

Thermaltake Copper Fan Grills |

Tweakers Australia have taken a look at some Thermaltake Copper Fan Grills. At first I thought this was going to be a pretty stupid product, but they're actually pretty cool. However, one would think the copper would bend easily, right?
