Rimage Producer III 8100N

Advantages: Great design - a cool looking controller
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...This limited edition Halo 3 controller has two different version available - the first being this spartan one (which i own) or there is also a covenant one available. THis is very much similar to a normal wireless controller with all the same buttons and triggers, except that it has a much smoother surface. However the main difference is that it has some very cool artwork on it, made by Todd McFarlane. This shows images of master chief standing alone on one side and a warthog (the vehicle) on the other side. The art is of very high quality and will not come off - i have owned mine for six months and it is still in very good condition. The back of the controller is just black and this is quite unique from the standard white controller. Another advantage of buying this controller is that you get a cool little figurine of master chief... Read review

Advantages: Reliable, high quality outputs
Disadvantages: 30 seconds per badge, a little noisy

...--Background-- We have used Magicard badge printers for approximately 5 years now to produce ID badges for staff and students alike. We started off with a couple of the original white RIo printers and upgraded to the Rio 2 model 3 years ago. Since then we have bought 7 of these devices for our various campuses and print out on average 10, 000 cards per year.

They come extremely well packed with thick polystyrene padding. As well as the printer, you get the mains lead, a parellel cable AND a USB cable, a drivers CD which also contains the user manual in... Read review

Advantages: Picture, Portability, Inputs
Disadvantages: It can get very hot but most projectors do.

...I have had this projector since August 2008 and have had no problems at all. It runs very well and produces vibrant HD pictures at 720p. It accepts a range of different multimedia inputs so it is very much suited for a home cinema, inputs include, hdmi, vga, s-video, composite video, and component video. Also looking at the bulb prices they are also fairly reasonable at around £100. This projector is very portable, and so it is recommended to buy a carry case for it, for protection and also for the ease of transportation. I have used this projector along with a hdmi upscalling dvd player but also a blu-ray player, and I have to say that the pictures produced using either of these is outstanding. I bought this projector at a time when prices were reasonable but they shortly went up although this projector is not as widely available... Read review
