The MB664US-1SB provides a tool-free method of installing a hard drive in an enclosure, and is packed with both eSATA and USB ports. Second, "The Hybrid" adds both an eSATA and a 12 volt power connection to a PCI slot. Easy external storage, here I come.
Cyber Snipa offers a variety of gaming peripherals, and we previous looked at their
Sonar 5.1 USB Headset. They also sent us their Stinger mouse, which features a 3200 dpi laser engine, nine buttons, and internal memory. Will the mouse make a difference in gaming, or just be a flop?
Thermaltake has always been one of my favorite case manufacturers for their quality and creative designs. The M9 is yet another example of one Thermaltake's fantastic chassis, featuring nine 5.25" drive bays, tool-free drive and add-on installation, and dual 120mm fans. Will it stand up to the Thermaltake's claims of excellent ventilation and silent operation?
Scythe came to the U.S. in 2004 after being founded in Japan in 2002. Scythe set out to develop a super powerful yet super quiet CPU cooler. Scythe recently sent us the Katana II CPU cooler, which carries on the ideas of their initial venture. The Katana II features a 100mm fan, three heatpipes, and a vertical design. I'm going to put it to the test.
Hitachi was the first company to release a one terabyte hard drive, and they've sent us

8.5ms seek time, and 7,200RPM rotational speed.
