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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
