TEAC value for money Review ofTeac PowerMax 1000 PC multimedia home theatre speaker systemby

Advantages: Dolby surround sound system Disadvantages: none
...what value for money £100 in 2001 and for a Dolby 5.1 system that was a bargain. The powered sub-woofer amp unit also has 5 surround settings including theatre offering 3 different inputs. supplied with cables to run all the speakers via a clip system, also supplied was a remote control - for volume, input, surround mode etc.
The 1000 watts is enough to fill any room with quality surround sound. You can change the volume of the central speaker and the front and rear channels, allowing you to get the balance right for any seating position. I used this setup to my PC and watched movies from DVD which sounded superb, and CD music playback was exceptional. In its day a superb system and fantastic value for money....

Advantages: Size, Build Quality, Disadvantages: Slightly expensive for a case, no fans included
...******************Intro*****************************
You know that when you move house something is going to go wrong, on this occasion everything looked great until I went to switch the hub of my life on, POP! There went the powersupply, motherboard and processor! Oh Joy!
Anyway my planned PC project was moved forward a few months.
I spent all of Christmas and some part of the New Year researching the components and selecting the best mix. As I was changing my motherboard and powersupply I needed a new case the Akasa Mirage-62 looked like a really good choice even though the price was a little high. I paid around £100 for this case from www.scan.co.uk
If you want a cheaper alternative the Akasa Eclipse-62 is around £20 cheaper and basically the same case but with a different front bezel styling. This review is relevant...

Advantages: Neat, Cool LED Mini USB Cable supplied Disadvantages: Horrible Manual, Price
...(provided). I like way is designed. There is a button on the top that releases a tray where the HDD is fixed. Even though the button is fiddly to press (ie not embossed) but I supposed this is done to prevent pressing it by mistake. It also comes with two cables. A PC modder friendly silver miniUSB cable with flashing blue LEDs and also a small USB to 5V powersupply in case the USB doesn't deliver enough power. On my HDD it does but apparently there are others that need that cable. Now apart from the fact that the cable is about 5 inches long and impossible to plug it on your PC and have the HDD on the desk according to the manual (for what I understood anyway) this might not even work and you would need an indoor AC/DC adapter.
The interface is USB 2.0 and the transfer rates are good but there is a small problem. Plugging it onto a USB 1.1...
