Gateway DX4320-45
|
 “The Gateway DX4320-45 exists as a middle child between the "lower end" small form factor (SFF) SX series, and the high-end gaming-oriented FX series. Like a stereotypical middle child, it's way too easy to look at this desktops shortcomings in comparison to its siblings, and that's the problem.”

Mionix Propus 380
|
|
“We're looking at a new gaming surface / mousepad from Mionix, the Propus 380. It sports a very interesting designs, as it has characteristics of both a speed mat and a control mat. Normally we've seen hybrid gaming surfaces to be rather disappointing, so let's take a closer look at the Propus 380 and see if it can succeed where others have failed.”

In Win Buc Computer Case Review
|
|
"With good cooling performance from three included fans and an innovative front panel design, In Win's BUC chassis is an interesting mid-tower chassis that also includes several innovative features and a blacked-out interior and rear panel. The fit and finish of the BUC is very good, but the relatively thin metal used and the breakout design of the bay covers require some extra care when doing an install."

Sapphire EDGE-HD Mini PC Review
|
|
"The second I pulled the EDGE-HD out of the package I fell in love with it. The small stature which comes in at 19.3cm tall, 14.8cm in length and a skinny 2.2cm in width makes for an extremely tiny PC that comes in at only 530 grams. Based around the Intel Atom D510 CPU which comes in at 1.66GHz, you find yourself feeling a little dirty looking at a Sapphire product that houses a 512MB NVIDIA ION 2 setup inside.
On the RAM front we've got 2GB of DDR2 and storage comes in the form of a 2.5" 250GB SATA hard drive. Connection to your network comes in the form of both 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and 802.11 b/g/n wireless. Inside the package there's not a lot, but at the same time there's everything you'll need. We've got a stand, manual and power connector, while cable wise we've got a HDMI cable and HDMI to DVI convertor. We've also got a little Sapphire USB Pen Drive which carries with it the goodies you'll need once you're up and running."

“The HP Mini 210-2180 is a netbook that comes in many stylish colors, has a larger-than-average keyboard and has huge battery life. While the internal specifications aren't the latest and greatest, it will still provide average computing performance for the average user.”

SilverStone Precision PS05 Computer Case Review
|
|
In the past few weeks here at APH Networks, there has been quite a few articles on SilverStone products. Many users who have followed along would have noticed we had gone through two separate articles on SilverStone products alone over the past month or so. Today, we are finally on our the last of our trio, and plan to go out with a bang. (Not literally. We're not blowing anything up.) We chose the biggest object to review out of the three, just to give it the incremental quality -- or at least quantity -- vibe. SilverStone is well known for their excellence in the computing field, with products ranging from fans such as the SilverStone Air Penetrator SST-AP121-L, power supplies such as the SilverStone Strider Gold ST75F-G 750W, as well as cases such as the Precision PS05 we are reviewing today. Just imagine how many articles we could go through in a year. Anywho, for our final part of the SilverStone trio of articles, we chose to end it off with a case. The SilverStone Precision PS05 is the newest revision of the Precision series. Although it is the value line for SilverStone, even the value series promises "thoughtful details from high-end chassis designs", according to the manufacturer. That is one bold statement to make for such a product in its intended market, but we trust SilverStone knows what they are talking about, since they are known for making excellent stuff in this area. So let us dive right into this review, and see how well this case implements "details from high-end chassis designs".

Sapphire Edge-HD Mini PC Review
|
|
"On our test bench is a product from Sapphire which contains a NVIDIA GPU... yes, NVIDIA. The Edge-HD is a small ATOM/ION system which Sapphire say could be the smallest PC in the world. We will be putting it though a number of real world tests which include Blu-Ray playback, GPU media encoding and power use to find out whether it meets the needs of the average consumer."

Dell Inspiron One 2305
|
|
“The Dell Inspiron One 2305 (Blu-ray) is a solid all-in-one media desktop PC, but it lacks the applications to make it a worthwhile touch-screen computer. It does have a touch screen, Blu-ray, and competitive performance numbers, which makes it certainly a viable alternative—especially if you're looking for a primary media-center PC.”

Sapphire Edge Mini PC
|
|
"I truly believe that Sapphire has found a sweet spot for media pc's. The Edge Mini PC really impressed me with it's design, performance and feature set. All my life computers have been getting smaller and smaller; but all of that didn't prepare me for the Edge. An enclosure the size of a paperback book containing a more-than-capable media PC was somewhat alien to me. Despite its tiny proportions, the design really catches your eye. Sleek curves and the wavy stand ensure it will fit in with any entertainment center. Connectivity, however, was sort of a mixed-bag. Though you're supplied with 4 USB 2.0 ports, HDMI and built in Wireless-N the lack of a camera card reader was quite surprising."

Sapphire Edge-HD Mini PC
|
|
“Housing an entire system in what is the smallest package we've ever seen, the Sapphire Edge-HD Mini PC appears to be a very capable little machine for consumers on a tight budget that don't have need of the cost or horsepower of a full-sized desktop system. But does smaller mean less, or do good things really come in small packages? Let's find out.”

Innergie mCube Review
|
|
Innergie is a company that specialises in consumer power products. Innergie
claims that their mCube Mini is the world's smallest auto and travel plane
power adapter. In addition to its small size, this DC/DC power adapter is
able to charge laptops requiring up to 65W at 15-21V. As such, it should be
able to power most consumer-grade laptops, with the exception of certain
gaming laptops that might require more than 95W of power. Not only is the
mCube Mini small, it has a sleek white design and it comes bundled with a
dozen notebook tips to support almost all laptops.

HP Pavilion P6710F
|
|
“Though in many ways identical to its predecessor, the Pavilion p6610f, the introduces two significant changes that help keep this model relevant for 2011. First, HP has bumped up the capacity of its hard drive a full third, from 750GB to 1TB. Perhaps even more significantly, it also costs less—whereas the previous machine cost about $530, you can get one of these for only about $480.“
