Graphics, Mini-PCs & a BlueTooth Gadget

by Marco Chiappetta — Thursday, April 22, 2004, 04:31 PM EDT

A few more newsworthy items hit the inbox this afternoon, so I figured I'd take a break from laying out pages and taking pictures to serve up another dose of the good stuff...

BlueTake BT009M Bluetooth USB 2.0 Pen Drive Review @ Modtown:

"The BlueTake BT009M Bluetooth USB 2.0 Pen Drive is a great all-in-one product, finished in a cool blue plastic shell. It brings together two very useful and two very mobile technologies together, making it ideal for the travelling business or home user and their laptop..."

Primecooler Hypercool II+ reviewed @ Hi-TechReviews.com:

"Its design is similar to the Zalman 7000 series heat sink but in my opinion it had been improved upon. Yes, that's a bold statement - but what if your motherboard doesn't have the four mounting holes to install the heat sink, which the Zalman requires? With the Primecooler Hypercool II+ that's not even a concern anymore."

Shuttle SS56L reviewed @ Dan's Data:

"Shuttle SS56L Limited Edition is a Small Form Factor box with everything that opens and shuts. Well, with _two_ things that open and shut, anyway..."

Fujitsu MHT2060AH SATA, HighPoint RocketRAID 1640 and RAID 5 @ LostCircuits:

"Hard disc space is becoming cheaper and cheaper, at the same time, drive capacity increases. Likewise, we are living in the era of the XPC, that is, small form factors are taking over and with them comes the additional restriction in space, meaning that room to fit two HDDs is already an exception. On the other hand, HDDs are just undergoing the transition form the standard 3.5" form factor to the smaller 2.5" drive size, hitherto only found within notebooks. Notebood drives are notedly slow, but who says that the restrictions are in the form factor?"

Point of View GeForce FX 5900XT Review @ Hexus:

"We thought we would inform you about our latest article. We have done a review of the News Clip: "With Point of View's card coming in at £130, along with the stylish presentation and good bundle that includes the excellent Call of Duty, it's hard not to recommend it. Your only initial problem will be with finding a stockist to sell you one, as Point of View find their feet in the U.K. Other Euro-zone buyers will have a much easier time of it."

That's going to do it for now, folks. If anything else interesting comes in, I'll be sure to give you all an update! Peace.

Marco Chiappetta

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
