X-540

Advantages: Great price,great sound quality, matrix button gives great 5.1
Disadvantages: Lots of wires!, Remote on quite a short wire

...Logitech X-540 Surround Sound. I ordered ths off amazon for 49.99, it was sent by courier (Home Delivery Network Ltd) and arrived within 2 days of ordering. Very easy to set up and great price for full 5.1 surround sound. Took 10 mins to hook it up to my Xbox and is amazing while playing Gears of war :D... First thing you notice is the weight contained in the small box the Speakers come in,its about 1ft square and contains 1 Bass and 5 satellite speakers, each individually packed in plastic bags. The bass unit is quite bulky and for optimal quality should be placed on the floor, but if you dont have much room, (like me) then you can put it it behind your TV or something... The base is the main part of the speaker set up, on the back are about 8 jacks for you to plug in the seperate speakers and inputs. Each is colour coded so its...

Review of CTX S521A

Advantages: Sharp clear picture, no dead pixels
Disadvantages: Driver trouble with video card

...gain. there?s even a DOS mode option where you have to change if its in text or graphics. Automatically configures itself the right display rotating itself is necessary and changing the H and V position. the monitor is flicker free and runs ok at 75HZ However there are no drivers with the monitor so I thought it would be already in windows XP, I was wrong. without getting the drivers colors are limited to 16 and a display picture of 800X600, as you can guess it doesn?t look very good. you can download the drivers off the internet or wing CTX to send you one first class. I would seriously recommend this monitor to someone that is looking for a cheap well made 15" TFT....

Logitech X-230

Advantages: clear sound, very low noise
Disadvantages: remote control would be nice

...An easy, plug'n'play sound system in cute-looking body with great performance. I was looking for new speakers for my laptop but then I decided I wanted more than just speakers and started searching through the lists of 2.1 and 5.1 sound systems. Originally I was about to buy a 5.1, but I realized such a set wouldn't be smart for a laptop which I wanna carry around and have it now on my desk, then on my bed, then on the floor etc, for which a 5.1 felt too much of cables and mass. I'm happy about my decision since the Logitech X-230 has proven to live up to the expectations based on what they promise, the sound is clear, full and I find it great for both music, games or movies. The subwoofer bass is strong and full, perfectly satisfying for almost cinema movie experience. You can hear hardly any noise and the volume range is wide enough...

American History X

Advantages: Edward Norton; Dialogue; Tension; Story
Disadvantages: Propaganda

..."We're so hung up on this notion that we have some obligation to help the struggling black man, you know. Cut him some slack until he can overcome these historical injustices. It's crap. I mean, Christ, Lincoln freed the slaves, like, what? 130 years ago. How long does it take to get your act together?" --Derek Vinyard Edward Norton is one of those rare contemporary actors that you know whatever movie he's going to be in it's going to be good. American History X is by no means an exception, with Norton phenomenal in his performance as an ex-neo-Nazi attempting to prevent his brother from pursuing the path he did. Edward Furlong (Terminator 2) plays the young skinhead Danny Vinyard, criticised by his teacher (Avery Brooks) for turning in a paper on Mein Kampf. The black teacher then instructs Danny to create a report...

X-530

Advantages: Price/quality, look
Disadvantages: sensitive to interference

..., Most people aim at good quality sound in PC's. Often good sound card is not enough and better speakers must be bought. That means spending more money for good stuff, or less for cheaper brand. Not necessarily when considering Logitech X-530 5.1 speakers. First some esential tech data: Total pow RMS : 70 Watts Total peak pow: 140 watts Cable lenght: center:160cm front: 140cm/180cm rear: 450cm Installation is as simple as possible and described weel in manual. Very attractive design gives it professional look. Whole set is assembled with high quality components both inside and outside. Unfortunately there are too many cables and subwoofer looks like attatched to big spiderweb, however are quite thick and strong. Center, front, and subwoofer speakers cables are quite short; even for desktop use lenght is...

American History X

Advantages: Great plot, superb characters and a theme that needed to be discussed
Disadvantages: violent

...Well my next review again is another film that was made during the 90's. Gosh they really don't make films like they use to. I must admit ive only seen this film twice once in high school and once with my friends, and both times the film just gives you a sense of shock. The film im going to review is the 1998, critically acclaimed "American History X", directed by Tony Kaye and Edward Norton and Edward Furlong. Ok two quick recaps here, Edward Furlong is the guy who was John Connor in Terminator 2, however just a wee bit more older in this film, but he still looks the same. We then have Edward Norton; you might recognise him from his earlier work in Primal Fear and The People vs. Larry Flynt I must admit this review will talk about some cruel and in some cases sadistic scenes, and for that I apologise if it causes any offence...

X-Citing

Advantages: Great Acting, Fit men, Loads Of Action, Special Effects
Disadvantages: Got to wait for the next one

...So far I have really enjoyed the X Men films and so I couldn't wait to watch the latest offering from the X Men stable. I trotted off to my local cinema as soon as I had the opportunity and here is my review I have tried really hard not to give too much away so as not to spoil the film for anybody who hasn't yet seen it. X Men For those of you who are not familiar with the X men movies, Origins: Wolverine is the 4th movie in the series. X Men was originally a comic book by Marvel that has ben adapted into cartoon and movie format. The X Men are basically humans who have mutated. Not all the mutations are obvious some mutations are not visable. Unlike the first three movies X Men Origins: Wolverine, goes back into one of the character's pasts, in this case Wolverine, so we can see how he came to be and what shapes him. Wolverine...

The joy of X?

Advantages: Great feel-good dance pop
Disadvantages: too short

...After putting her career on hold to battle breast cancer Kylie has certainly made up for lost time as she continues her quest for world domination. There was the re-scheduled tour, a children's book 2 perfumes and another one set for next year, not to mention modelling swimwear for H&M and the Kylie exhibition (now in Glasgow) and a return to acting in Doctor Who. After celebrating 20 years in music her 10th studio album is probably her most hotly anticipated and comes four years after "Body Language" Most Kylie fans will already have heard the "kylie X Pre album" which was put on torrent sites months ago (and is still widely available) from apparently stolen master tapes and the biggest shock are the tracks which are missing particularly the Scissor Sisters "White Diamond" (only available as a slow ballad if you get the album...

Review of X (+DVD) - Kylie Minogue

X Pect the Unexpected !

Advantages: Not that Bad
Disadvantages: Not that good either.

...The Man From Planet X. This movie starts with, some good special effects, of a planet spotted drifting through our system and it is going to come close to the Earth. The Planet named planet X, (how imaginative!) will be studied by many around the globe including Professor Elliot who sets up a small observatory in the remote moors of a Scottish island. He along with daughter Enid and Dr Mears, a former student and love interest of the profs daughter are soon joined by the obligatory Newspaper reporter that always seemed to be in these movies. They soon get a visit from a spaceship from planet X and the alien occupant of the spaceship. He appears at first friendly and benign but does he have ulterior motives? He breaths by means of a tank of his own X atmosphere. He has his own gold fish bowl helmet...

Lexmark X4650

Advantages: wi-fi printing, exellent scanning features
Disadvantages: ink prices

...The Lexmark X4650 is a superb all in one printer. Setting it up was easy and connecting it to my wireless network was no hassle. The included CD basically is a step by step guide in to setting the product up and makes for a no-fuss setup. Scanning is excellent as when scanning documents, the included software recognizes text and you can edit your document. Also copying is simple, just pop the paper above the scanner and watch it print out. The photo printing options are limited to a few options such as either; print all, print last photo taken, date range (per month) or photo number. Another thing that may let the printer down is ink cartridge prices as these can become pricey. Never the less this printer is worth buying and has many extra features and is really handy being wireless. Just to add, the printer does come with colour...
