LSI Logic MegaRAID SATA 300-8X

Advantages: very good value for money, under 35p per GB
Disadvantages: need a SATA connector on motherboard and cables

...this hard drive is very inexpensive for its size, its also very quiet. if your looking for an easy to install and cheap way of storing masses of data then this is the hard drive for you. the drive is very reliable and i have yet to experience a problem with it 6 months later. it can run practically non stop as well and shows no sign of performance loss. i have left it running for around 75% of the time i have had it. you do need a SATA slot on your motherboard or a SATA controller card to use this. also you need to set up the slot you are using in the BIOS otherwise it won't recognise the drive....

Advantages: Full Speed AGP and PCI-Express 16 Graphics, Great Upgrade Path, Stable System
Disadvantages: None - As yet

...ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 - AGP and PCI-Express Graphics I have had the motherboard for 6 months now and I have been very pleased with the motherboard. The chipset used on the board is the ULi M1695. The chipset is the only one currently on the market that allows the use of both AGP and/or PCI-Express graphic cards for the AMD Socket 939 CPU's. The board gave me an upgrade path that I have fully used.

The new graphics card went into the board with no issues. The only negatives I would give to this board was the lack of a firewire port and lack of gigabit internet but as I paid £55... Read review

...Intro. • ~ • ~ • ~ • ~ • ~ • ~ • ~ This is a review of the Logic3 PRO dance mat, a better and ‘meaner’ version of the Logic3 dance mat. A dance mat is a video game controller made specifically for dance games such as Dancing Stage (UK version of Dance Dance Revolution), although they can be used with regular games. Dance games can be found for the PC, XBox, Playstation, PS2, some connect directly to the TV, and maybe some for some other games consoles, but the Logic3 Pro mat I am reviewing is for the Playstation (PSX) or Playstation 2 (PS2). I’ve only got a PSX so have used the mat on that. You can use a regular joypad/joystick with dance games but that would be no fun. You can also use the dance mat as the controller for regular games, which would probably make them quite interesting and a lot more challenging. Would be a bit... Read review
