Advantages: Looks really nice, cools the hard drive by few degrees, easy to use
Disadvantages: None really

...In the world of pc modding and enthusiasts, there is a lot of choice and variety out there for people wishing to have the most powerful, stylish and unique computers. The market seems bigger then ever for PC modifications and such, with the gaining popularity of overclocking* (adjusting the processor* chip for example, so that it runs faster then recommended) meaning there is an increase in demand for better fans and cooling-accessories. The Cool Drive 4 is an enclosure for hard-drives, with a fan fitted inside it to keep cool the drive, and to reduce noise vibrations which the hard-drive would usually emit. It also has a feature of being able to monitor various over system temperatures, the processor*, graphics card*, PC case, and of course the hard drive. It does this thanks to 4 temperature probes, which you can place around... Read review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: none

...If you are looking for an ultra quiet, stable and very efficient processor cooling system that's the one for you. Installation At first have to admit that I have good computers knowledge but it was first time ever in my life to install cooler. Thus instruction was extremely helpful for me. Everything in there has been clearly marked and shown. When switched on computer, did not want to work. Forgot to connect it  Newer mind. Silly mistake but when have done it and started my computer up was not sure if it is working. Simply could not hear anything. When checked - was on and doing great job. I was impressed. Silence Arctic Ultra Silent fan is moving on high quality Ceramic bearing. Trust me or not, had many computers in my life and in my hands but this cooler is seriously well made and designed. Thanks... Read review

Advantages: Quieter, cooler, better looks, more stable PC, better for overclocking
Disadvantages: May be tricky to install for begginers, large so you need biggish case

...then proccesor temperature.. this is why the fan draws in the cool air at the front, that should have been drawn in from the outside of your case by a fan. There are many interesting features of this cooler such as the way the fan is attached, using rubber mountings so that vibration is next to impossible. The air is drawn in from the side of fans, which means it also benifits components around the CPU. All in all this HSF is about as close to perfect as you can get, and once installed will make your PC run cooler and look cooler, be more stable, sound much quieter and even run faster if you choose to overclock your system using this.

Advantages: Cheap, does the job
Disadvantages: Short battery life, Touch pad, Windows Vista

...E-System 4213 Laptop These laptops are made for the PC World/Currys/Dixons group. They are the 'cheap and cheerful' which will suite the average user to word process, surf the web, watch DVDs and play games. It won't suite the high end game player. It comes with 1Gb of memory, an 80gb Hard drive, and a DVD writer, which cost me £299. Nowadays you should be able to get one cheaper. The battery life is a bit short, being about 75 minutes. I found the touch pad a bit sensitive to use, so I bought a small cheap optical mouse from PCW for less than a £5 which was fine. I also bought a plug in USB freeview tuner, with a standard coaxe socket. The little aerial that came with it didn't seem to pick up anything, unless you are near the transmitter. I carry a short length of coaxe cable with me when I am travelling, so that if I am... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, Effective, Lightweight.
Disadvantages: No manual speed control, Size could be a problem on some boards.

...I recently upgraded my CPU to a retail version AMD 64, that comes with the standard cooler and fan. I found it to be very noisy and decided I needed a quieter CPU cooler. After looking at various options, and not having lots to spend, I decided on the Arctic Cooling Silencer 64 Ultra TC that retails at under £10.00. This heatsink is suitable for socket 754/939/940 AMD Athlon CPU's, BUT is 15mm wider than the standard heatsink, so make sure there is room on your motherboard before ordering one. The box that the it comes in also contains a motherboard retention module, a tube of Artic cooling MX-1 High performance thermal compound, a case sticker and a small sheet of notes, that is printed in English and German. The fitting instructions are printed on the back of the box. The cooler. The heatsink itself is made of aluminum... Read review

Advantages: Sense Of Proffesionalism, Very Smooth, Great Grip and Control
Disadvantages: Not Very Portable, As State Of The Art it comes at a high price

...The Saitek X52 Pro Flight Control System is state of the art in flight control systems. As a frequent user of flight simulator the saitek X52 has made my flying even more enjoyable with the control smoothness and joystick re-centereing. In total the amount of different switches is 30, however as there are three mode settings you can have up to 90 button configurations. Installation is quick and simple, and runs as soon as connected via USB. In total with both the throttle and joystick there are 7 axis instead of the usual 3/4 on older joysticks. The metal material on both the throttle and joystick gives a sense of proffesionalism and the rubberised surface on the throttle and joystick handle give a good firm grip. I would recommend this to anyone who has a serious interest in flight simulation both civil and combat. Even though it... Read review
