Read more...To kickstart our series on rackmounted units, in which we will review NAS servers from Synology and Promise, as well as UPS systems and a server case from Antec, we have to start with the basics: a cabinet is to house all these. We looked around and the people from 4Cabling were gracious enough to give us the best one in store, a huge 100 kilo beast from Universal Data Solutions. This is a 25RU cabinet which means that you can house 25 rack units of gear. Most equipment like servers or switches take up just one rack unit. A server case might take up four and a UPS about the same. So, what are our impressions of this massive cabinet?

Bluelounge Refresh
Bluelounge has been a generous supporter of DigitalReviews.net.  When I received their new catalogue I put my hand up for their new Refresh charging station and they were quick to send us a review unit.

SPAC - aXbo
Given the choice what would be your ideal way of waking up to face a new day?  For me it would be a gentle wake up curled up next to my wife, my body rhythm tells me that I have put sufficient deposit into my sleep bank.  I jumped at the chance to review the aXbo Sleep Phase Alarm Clock, billed as the revolutionary waking system to waking gently at the right moment when you’re already almost awake.

With thanks to aXbo for supplying the review unit and their patience, let's see just how the aXbo performs.

Read more...Here's an announcement for the high-end of town but undoubtedly with a trickle-down effect for small and medium businesses.
These new XS series servers from Synology will deliver highly scalable storage capacity and performance with the most competitive cost/capacity ratio. The XS models are virtualization ready and powered by Synology DiskStation Manager 3.1.
As soon as one is available we will review it, following our write-up of the Synology RS810+ with the RX410 expansion rack in the coming weeks.

We have not seen any reviews yet on the latest mid-range Samsung Smart TVs and certainly not on the 2011 models here in Australia so we are happy to present you with an in-depth report on the Samsung 6600, which is the top model in the Series 6 range. This Internet connected Smart TV landed on our test bench courtesy of Samsung Australia and Albany Retravision, our local electronics superstore.
If you are looking to upgrade your TV and haven't done so in the last few years you'll be amazed at not only the superlative quality of the viewing experience but also the interconnectivity of these so-called Smart TVs.

Let's have a good look at the Samsung 6600 as representative of this new generation.

EFO iPazzPort
The third generation EFO USB RF Wireless Keyboard landed on my review desk a little while back.  To be honest, when I first received the unit I was not entirely sure what to make of it or where I may conceivably use it.  The potential of this device did finally dawn on me once I started playing with it.

Akasa Duodock
In my opinion, one of the most essential gadgets I can have at home and at work at the present time is a hard disk dock.  I have a motley collection of hard drives of various capacity and sizes in the graveyard box courtesy of system upgrades.  With the new Akasa DuoDock 2S USB 3.0 Docking Station, our friends at Brando kindly sent an unit for the DigitalReviews treatment.

Dyson DC35
While the mundane household chore of vacuuming will always be, well.. mundane, it took on a slightly more digital nature of late as we got around to reviewing the Dyson Digital Slim DC35 Handstick.

With plenty of carpet, tiles or wooden flooring - and one ever clumsy reviewer - testing the DC35 would prove to be as interesting as it was handy.

Read on read our DC35 review - and please do try to appreciate our deft avoidance of an almost limitless supply of double entendres.
