CoolerMaster CM690 is the master!

Advantages: Cheap, well ventilated, screw-less design
Disadvantages: None for me.

...When upgrading my computer and installed the new parts in my old case, this proved to be a bit of a silly idea as the temperatures it was running at was too high. Having largely spent out on the upgrade i wanted a fairly cheap case. The CoolerMaster CM690 looked like it was to fit the bill perfectly, its was fairly cheap approx £55, it did NOT come with power supply, which for me wasn't a problem as I'd just bought a new CoolerMaster Real Power M620 620W PSU. To start with this case looks very good and feels light when empty. It also feels sturdy and well balanced on my desk and on carpet, although a carpet with too high a pile on it could interfere with the PSU exhaust and the mounting for another fan. The front and top of the case is basically a big grille which obviously helps with letting the hot air escape. Access is...

Canon EOS 30D

Advantages: Multi-featured
Disadvantages: None

...This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great little device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need.

Glide on over, to the M30

Advantages: cheaper end of the market, technically good, looks smart.
Disadvantages: dont get it wet!

... Foehn & Hirsch M30 glide MP5 player Yes yo are hearing me right! This, like a load of other players out their, claims to be some kind of weird and wonderful, new technology! I, for one, had never previously heard of MP5. Suddenly, they are all over the place. Ebay is full of the. But what are they? well the truth of the matter is that they are an MP3/MP4 player. Nothing new, or exciting. The claims are that an MP5 player can play file without the need for conversion. Forgive me if I am wrong, but have good MP4 players not been doing this for what seems like centuries? It seems to me, that this is nothing more than an advertising gimmick. Something primarily used to try and make the unbranded players look more competitive, in todays saturated media player market. So, before you think of buying any player, please ignore...

Olympus E-30. Still not up there with the big boys?

Advantages: Fold out LCD screen, Image Stabilization, Zuiko lens quality, Picture quality, Flash options
Disadvantages: Noise in low light, Too many buttons, Badly laid out, Too many gimmicks

...The E-30 is Olympus's own stepping-stone between the so-called "prosumer" models (what an awful word) and the E-3 professional SLR, being loosely comparable with the likes of the Canon EOS 50D, the Nikon D90 and the Sony Alpha A-350. It shares a lot of the E-3's features and has even overtaken the E-3 in terms of resolution, offering 12mp compared with the E-3's 10. Unfortunately - or fortunately, depending on your opinion - some of its features are things that serious photographers don't really want on their cameras and definitely push the E-30 towards the hobby photographers rather than the professionals. The E-30 doesn't share the E-3's weatherproof casing, in fact it is built from a plastic/fibre-glass composite material, which helps to keep the weight down and, surprisingly to me, doesn't make it feel cheap. It does look...

Kenwood CM651 - coffee maker

Advantages: great tasting coffee at a drinkable temperature
Disadvantages: looks quirky (but maybe you like that)

...Our last coffee machine (Tefal) had been part of our family for nine years - until he sadly died due to being put too close to a rather hot microwave and melted. We spent a very long time searching for a replacement product and finally decided upon the Kenwood CM651. While scouring the market we discovered many different coffee machines which were adorned with various spangaly extras such as timers and "aroma switches" but to be honest - all we wanted was a decent cup of COFFEE! THe Kenwood CM651 has a fairly basic design (which is exactly what we wanted - less to go wrong) Water is poured into the back reservoir which is easily accessable. We use the glass jug for this and discovered that it pours really cleanly without any dribbles! The Kenwoods capacity is 13 cups which is rather generous amount for such a petite design...

13 going on 30 - a fairly predictable romcom

Advantages: Good cast, easy to watch
Disadvantages: Not very imaginative and the actors are underused

...WHAT IS IT: 13 Going on 30 is a romantic comedy starring Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo. 13 year old Jenna Rink has a practical joke played on her by the most popular girl in school, Lucy 'Tom Tom' Wyman, which leads Jenna to wish that she was 'Thirty, Flirty and Thriving' - a headline on her favourite magazine, Poise. As she rocks back and forth in her closet she bumps the shelf upon which is the 'dream house' her friend Matty has made for her birthday. The magical wishing dust Matty sprinkled on the dream house falls on Jenna and she wakes up to find herself 30 years old, an editor for Poise with a beautiful apartment and a very attractive if somewhat dim trophy boyfriend. As she tries to work out how she got to this point, she comes to realise that she is not the person she would like to be; she has become estranged from her parents...

Coloursport 30-Day Mascara

Advantages: LASTS FOR A WHILE
Disadvantages: STILL NEED TO USE MASACRA

...Coloursport 30-Day Mascara After having my lashes professionally tined at my local salon last year and paying an extortionate price of around £15 for the one treatment I went on the hunt for a DIY solution and it wasn?t long before I stumbled across this Coloursport 30 day mascara on the shelves in Boots. For a price of around £6 I bought this 30 day mascara a few months ago and t be honest I am fairly pleased with the results. I would say that it can actually last longer than the specified 30 days but would need a top up around that time if not a week or so later. I bought the black colour but it is also available in a shade of brown for those with lighter features but I find the black gives the best results. The packet contains several items, which include the developer, the black cream, a mixing plastic tray...

Pioneer DEH-30 MP

Advantages: Good sound quality, loads of features
Disadvantages: Chrome effect peels from around volume control

...Pioneer DEH-30 MP I bought this car stereo around 2 years ago for my car as I wanted something that sounded better than the standard stereo. I bought mine from Motor-mania for around £150.LCD blue screen and reads out what ever it is playing at the time. I think it has really good quality sound even when the volume is on high. It plays any CDs including MP3 and even ones that are slightly scratched play just as well on this CD player. Features MP3/WMA Playback with ID3 Tag CD-R/CD-RW Compatible Aux Input 3 Band parametric equalizer Selectable loudness feature Dual Pre-outs It also has traffic announcement features, preset channel memory and auto/manual frequency search.

TORO 40CM ELECTRIC RECYCLER MOWER 21072

Advantages: Recycles grass clippings, cuts all grass lengths
Disadvantages: Not good for tight spaces, no roller

...Toro Electric Recycler Mower (40cm rotary £229) 21072, 1400 watt electric induction motor Ideal for small/medium sized lawns. It's that time of year again, the grass is growing, the sap is rising, out comes the trusty old mower - "oh****", perhaps its not so trusty after all. Down at the garden centre staff are busy dusting down the machinery and gemming up on the mower manuals to see who can make the best sales. Believe me, ( I have worked in these places) they're not interested in sending you home with a mower best suiting your needs. At the end of the day its sales figures that matter. After being let down by my trusty old flymo last year, I did a little research and brought home a Toro Electric Recycler (40cm, rotary) Mower. I am very pleased with it. It does a quick, quality, no frills (stripes) job and I'm quite...
