OLED Technology by 4D Systems
Getting a nice and easy to use screen to a project can be a bit tricky as it usually involves complex fiddling with libraries etc. But don't worry, here's a nice solution to this problem: OLED displays from 4D Systems!
Steelseries World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse
Every game and game type has their own requirements for the hardware. For FPS games it may be the accuracy and tracking, for MMORPGs, macros have become important. Steelseries has approached the WoW crowd with a new mouse - The World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse.

How to get started with microcontrollers - Part 2
This is the second part of the microcontroller tutorial series. This time we'll control some motors, fade some leds, interface with a computer and more.
Gainward 295 GTX
After losing the performance crown, Nvidia pulled some aces to take back the title. The newer GT200b core made it possible for Nvidia to regain the crown in the same way as which it lost it, placing two GPUs onto the same card.
Antec Fusion Remote Max
Like the Sonata Elite, also the Fusion Remote Max is an updated version of a case we've already reviewed on Metku.net once before. While the Sonata Elite still followed the footprints of its predecessors, the Fusion Max goes a bit further and the internal layout is redone to take full-size ATX motherboards.
Project: Subwoofer
I have a pair of Genelec 8030 speakers. They are good but bass reaches only 55 hz. Music sounds great but movies lack a bit of depth. This subwoofer project is based on 10" subwoofer driver made by Norwegian Seas and Hypex subwoofer amplifier.
Antec Sonata Elite
Sonata has gone through some cosmetical changes before. Let us see if the update this time is just skin-deep or has Antec made some larger changes to their very popular case.
Swiftech H2O-220 Apex Ultima Plus
The kit that arrived to our test this time is Swiftech H2O-220 Apex Ultima Plus. It's the top-spec kit from Swiftech and comes with some of the company's latest components.

Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings Review (PSP) - OCModShop Since we have already published an official review of IJatSoK for the Wii (read it here), I decided to publish my thoughts on the PSP version of the game. I’m glad to see a lot more Indiana Jones around, because there was such a drought of content between the third and fourth movies. I’ll just chalk this up as poor judgement on George Lucas’ part… since he hasn’t had a 5 out of 5 hit since the original Star Wars movie (Empire and Jedi were actually directed by David Cronenberg).
NVIDIA Issues An Open-Source Driver Update - Phoronix NVIDIA's Aaron Plattner has just announced the release of the xf86-video-nv 2.1.14 driver, but does it have anything in store? Not really. The NVIDIA open-source X.Org driver update brings support for a couple of new ASICs, fixed mode-setting for some NVIDIA GPUs, and other fixes, but nothing too exciting.....
Thermaltake Element G Case Review - Hardware Secrets The new Element G is a high-quality steel mid-tower case from Thermaltake bringing interesting features such color-changing fans. Let's take a look on this new case.
Nyko Charge Station for Wii Review - OCModShop Most other game manufacturers have discovered that rechargable controllers is the way to go. The Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 have rechargable gamepads. Even Nintendo's own DS has a built-in rechargable battery. With everyone getting on the "green" bandwagon, it doesn't make sense to suck up a set of AA batteries every 15-20 hours. Nyko is again, at our rescue, and delivers not only rechargable batteries for the Nintendo Wii's Wiimotes, but supplies an attractive stand as well. Here's the marketing spiel from the Nykettes:
Sparkle GeForce GTX 275 Video Card Review - Legit Reviews Sparkle may not be the first manufacturer that comes to mind if you're considering a new video card from Team Green, but the company is hoping its GeForce GTX 275 series can score it some mindshare in the sub-$250 segment. It's been a few months since the first wave of GTX 275 and ATI 4890 cards hit the market, and more mature drivers may shed a different light on relative performance.
Maximo iM-590 iMetal Earphones - TechPowerUp Relatively unknown Maximo recently released their iM-590 earphones. Based on a 9 mm driver and boosting a metal exterior these earphones will undoubtedly turn some heads. The price of just $59 certainly will.
Apple iPhone SMS Vulnerability Provides Root Access Remotely - Tech Fragments During a presentation at the SyScan conference in Singapore, Charlie Miller, a renown security expert and winner of the Pwn2Own hacker contest, unveiled a disturbing vulnerability in the iPhone. The vulnerability would allow him to inject SMS messages into the iPhone and then have the recipient of the message automatically run malicious code on the phone.The worst part of the vulnerability is that the owner of the phone would run the code without any kind of warning that such code is being ran on the phone. The malicious code could contain a payload that would make your phone join a DDOS attack or botnet on a web site or address. It could also contain code that would present the attacker with your precise location, live on a map as well as take pictures or turn on the audio recorder to snoop in on what you were talking about.
CoolIT Domino A.L.C Water-Cooling Kit - Tech-Reviews.co.uk For true CPU cooling performance and silence, air cooling is not thought to be the solution. You need water cooling. It seems a scary concept – cooling your processor with water – which is why many enthusiasts steer clear of the idea. Moreover, it can be costly with an average kit easily topping the £100 mark.
