Wish your hard drive could become an external hard drive? ICY BOX

Advantages: Easy to use, install and transfer data.
Disadvantages: Don't take all the screws out at once otherwise it falls apart.

...For those of you that don't know, an ICY BOX is a case that you put an internal hardrive in and it becomes an external harddrive. I ordered mine from amazon after my computer burnt out and no other computer that I had would read my sata harddrives, in desperation I ordered an ICY BOX off the internet with next day delivery. It arrived in the post the next day, in the box there was the aluminium ICY BOX case, a stand, screws (various), power adaptor, CD, Manual, USB cable (B-A Type)(Connects with practically all computers), a double ended sata cable and a Sata component that can be put in the back of a PC to plug a sata cable into. It was very easy to put my harddrive in, I simply unscrewed the screws on each corner and slided my hardrive onto the board inside. I then screwed the top back on, flipped it over then put 4 screws in...

A Box with No End ...

Advantages: Lennard Pearce as Grandad, & Classic Episodes
Disadvantages: Not all the Best & Special Episodes, No Extras

...? --------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- The First Series 1 to 7 Box Set is stuffed with over 50 different episodes listed below. The great thing about this Box Set is that there is no particular order you must follow. There is a vast range of story lines for you to follow which do not overlap with episodes. You could start in reverse order and I guarantee unlike other programmes, you will fully understand from scene to scene without having a specific order to follow. This will allow you and others to view episodes individually at your own choice and leisure. Here you have an almost complete package of Classic British Comedy for both teenagers and adults. The only thing missing is that it does not feature each & every episode ever made for BBC Television. But the Box Set is a great introduction to those who have unfortunately not as of yet discovered 'Only Fools & Horses' as...

Boxing News

Advantages: Quality, Easy To read, Likable
Disadvantages: Short, Price, Formulaic

...If Ring magazine is the world champion of boxing magazine it's big European rival is British based Boxing News that is now celebrating it's 100th year in production. It's currently a weekly magazine (though it's a registered paper) priced at £2.80 and released on a Friday ever week. Although the history of how it's become what it is, is an interesting story that saw one of my personal hero's Harry Mullan become it's editor for quite some time before his very untimely death, this review will stick to what the magazine currently is. It's currently almost full of regular features, like most magazines and it's opening article titled ?Fighting Talk? is written by current editor Claude Abrams and although not always a fan of his views an opinions it's often a well written piece to open the magazine. It's almost certainly based on just...

A game for those who think outside the box!

Advantages: Gameplay, Duration, Puzzles, Storyline
Disadvantages: Graphics, Length of Cut-scenes

...Professor Layton and Pandora's Box is an excellent game utilizing the Nintendo DS's features to their full extent. Although I only briefly played the prequel to this game, "Professor Layton and the Curious Village" my initial thoughts on both game gave me a verdict that this game had greater complexity and although the storyline did at points relate back to the previous game, gave a starting point for new gamers who didn't own/use the previous title. The game is obviously, if you have seen trailers or know the genre, a puzzle game, as you hear this you would probably immediately assume a few things that would have been compromised in, these being the graphics and storyline. Firstly, the graphics aren't the best you will have ever seen in a game, however it doesn't rely on graphics so this is why the quality lacks slightly. Secondly is...

SKY HD Box

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...rewind up to 5 minutes or so even if you havent paused it. So If you miss a goal or somthing funny you can simply re live the moment. HD: I am disapointed in the number of channels you are able to recive considering you can get the likes of ITV HD in free sat but not sky. The other point is you can only use 1080i not 1080p Falts: Every now and again the box will just power down and you cant turn it back on for about 3 minutes. I have two SKY HD boxes and they both do it but in fairness it dosen't happen that offten. Unused features: The sky HD box comes with an RJ45 network socket and an e SATA port. I don't even need to say how many possibilities this gives the SKY box but saidly its not useable. I think thats about all I have to say about the SKY box for now but over all I would give it an adverage rating. If it had delivered...

  God In A Box

Advantages: Can almost take over from your PC
Disadvantages: power brick, noise

...minimum) • Standard definition and high-definition video output is supported Well pretty much what the steve's at Microsoft have done is shrunk an extremely high end PC into a box that can fit neatly into any existing set up. Each piece of hardware just about is custom made for the Xbox which is where it differs from the Playstation 3 but that's another story. It is essentially a customised IBM Power PC which boasts an unbelievable 3 x 3.2GHz all three offering 2 hard ware threads, which to compare for you, my PC has just one 2.4GHz processor, so lets say its around 5 times more powerful than the average PC & its strictly dedicated to gaming and media while the ATI graphics processor can produce a massiv 500 million triangles per second. I could go on, recounting the 360's supposed 16 gigasamples-per-second fill rate using 4X...

An Icy Cathedral

Advantages: Interesting place of worship
Disadvantages: Gets busy

...The Arctic cathedral in Tromsø stood out amongst the smaller houses surrounding it and was visible long before we approached the bridge to cross over to the mainland. The unusual shape representing the shape of a Sami (the people who tend the reindeer) tent and the iciness of a glacier was built in 1965 on a site that was originally a bunker, being close to Russia they were prepared. The huge white walls form an A shape and there are windows at both ends of the building. The walls are 11 pieces of concrete covered with Aluminium, which represent the 11 apostles left after the betrayal of Christ. Between the wall sections is glass which lets light into the church, supplying much of the inside light in the church, especially during the midnight sun season. With the mountain behind covered in trees it stood out well, but when the snow...

The Orange Box (xbox 360)

Advantages: 5 fantastic games in one
Disadvantages: none so far

...This review is for the xbox 360 version of the game. I'd never played any of the Half-Life games before this one, so I only knew the titles by reputation. But what a reputation. With 5 games included in the package, The Orange Box promises a lot but I'm pleased to say that it delivers it all...and more. Half-Life 2 picks up where the original Half-Life left off (so I'm told) and after a little bit of a slow start, soon puts you right in the thick of the action. I guess it helps to have played Half-Life before, but the controls are simple enough and well-mapped to the xbox 360 pad so even newcomers to the series will soon feel at home. The graphics are excellent, especially the exterior environments, with stunning water effects being one of the highlights. The sound is pretty impressive too, voices and other sounds fade when your...

Review of The Orange Box

A giant of a box with 201 bricks

Advantages: really good collection of bricks
Disadvantages: none

...Duplo are fantastic bricks I recently bought a box for my great niece it is her 1st birthday. Ok I know she will not be ready to play with these bricks yet but it was a case of I wanted to buy something she would grow into rather than something she had already got. Duplo bricks are suitable for 2 to 5 year olds. This box 5588 is a massive green box tub containing 201 pieces. The box is a strong plastic makes a fantastic storage container for the bricks. *Duplo bricks They are made by Lego a Danish firm. They were first made in 1969 after the popular Lego bricks which were first made in the 1930s. The firm had its roots in making wooden items including toys. The name Lego was introduced in 1934 an adaptation of the words that mean play well in Danish or an adaptation of the Latin to put together. By the 1950?s the bricks which...

Boxing... sport or barbarism

Advantages: builds confidence, respect and stamina
Disadvantages: deaths

...Boxing? barbaric or sport??? I tend to go with the latter as I enjoy the sport very much. Personally, I started boxing at school many years ago, (god I feel old), it taught me discipline, balance and most importantly respect? it also kept me fit and improved my hand-eye co-ordination. As my interest in participation grew I joined a local gym at the age of 16 and, over my time, sparred with many opponents, (including a very famous Irishman who became world famous), my liking for the sport growing as my skills improved? Then my career choice helped me continue in the respect I had acquired for this sport, contending in many amateur fights during my military life, (losing more than I care to remember? but some of them blokes are built like brick sh$t houses)? But, unfortunately for me, a combination of injuries, (not caused by...
