Cooler Master CoolDrive 6

Advantages: Looks really nice, cools the hard drive by few degrees, easy to use
Disadvantages: None really

...as you wish. The Cool Drive claims to offer an airflow of 9.21CFM, which isn't great but it is only a small fan which is being used to cool the hard-drive. Upon putting my hand up to the grill protecting the fan it's really hard to feel the air being drawn in, such is the power of the fan. Yet it does still manage to reduce the hard-drive temperature, which is what it's meant to be doing anyway. It also claims to be no louder then 29dBA, which is hard to judge, but it is really really quiet in operation so it's probably about right. This particular model - the Cool Drive 4, produced by well known manufacturers Cooler Master, is a combination of two previous models which they had released. One had the ability to store a hard drive and cool it down, with the small internal fan provided - the CoolDrive. The other - Aerogate II was a panel... Read review

Advantages: Modular so there's no mess with cables, made by CoolerMaster
Disadvantages: The sheathing around the cables can make them hard to handle

...I purchased this PSU when I got the rest of my new system to build because I know Cooler Master have a good reputation when it comes to power supplies and computer cases, and I must say that I made a good choice in doing this, as I have had no problems with it since it was installed. When I received the power supply with the rest of the bits it came in a large box with all the various power cables which can be plugged into it. I have to say that although I've never actually bought a power supply before, the way this one was presented was actually really nice. I mean I know it's just a black box that gives your computer the power it needs but the way the box came open and the way everything came packaged made it seem as though Cooler Master really have thought about everything when designed this product. At first it seemed a bit... Read review

Advantages: Covers those nasty beige facias
Disadvantages: stuck on with tape, slightly awkward to fit

...After getting a new case when upgrading my pc I wanted it to look smart and tidy so there was something to show for my effort and money. This was slightly spoiled by the prominent beige CD and CD-RW drives I had and the floppy drive. A 'silver' floppy drive was easily found and not expensive to replace my old one. However to replace a CD-RW/DVD combo and CD-Rom drive would have been very expensive in comparison just so they didn't stand out. That was when I first noticed these. At around £6 each they were much cheaper than replacing the drives and provided the same benefits. Actually being made of aluminium also makes them more silver and less grey than the silver effect plastics you can get with some drives. The only slight problem with these is fitting them. You are supplied with extra strong double sided tape that has been cut... Read review
