Reviews
Independent write-ups after weeks of end-user experiences and testing.
You may often find indispensible advice here and a no-nonsense attitude to evaluating the products.
We don’t go for the bits-and-bytes approach but aim to address the core factor: value-for-money for the average end-user.

| XForce VMK10-250 Varex Muffler |
Is this the answer to keeping the neighbours and wife happy? A variable muffler system that is controlled from the driver's seat? And will it be enough to calm the Beast?
Well the big package arrived and we find inside not one, but two VMK10-250 Varex mufflers courtesy of www.xforce.com.au. Read on for first impressions and information on installation.

| Australian Classic Wire Wheels |
Courtesy of www.acww.com.au, we received a set of four dazzling spoked wheels to test the quality and to trial them on our E Type Jaguar over an extended period.
When they were unboxed and coupled with the spinners, they looked tremendous so we were understandably excited.
For a closer look, read on!

| Casio Exilim EX-H10 |
First Impressions One of the most successful product ranges in the point and shoot category has to be the Casio Exilim. We've done a few reviews in the past few years but it's been a while since the last one, which we still use on occasion.
But when they announced the EX -- H10 some months ago we knew we had to get one in on our desk. It seems perfect on all fronts: 12.1 megapixels, 10 x zoom, wide-angle and a long battery life. And that's just for starters, so let's hop to it and give it a decent shake (no worries there: it also has an anti-shake feature!)

| Popcorn Hour C-200 |
Since early 2008 we've been keenly interested in Syabas's Popcorn Hour units. Shortly after our review of the ground breaking
A-100, we took a look at the refined
A-110 along with its somewhat confused sibling, the
B-110.
With the new Popcorn Hour C-200 however, Syabas is looking to change the media streaming game forever.

| Trinvo Talking Translator - 12 Languages, 750 Phrases, 2500 Word Dictionary, Currency Converter.jpg |
The little unit I just received from www.oo.com.au is just the shot if you are visiting a foreign country and don’t know the native language well. I threw some batteries in and ran it through its numerous functions. You can see some of the translator’s capabilities within the product description and I can report that what it does, it does well. For its size, the Trinvo translator is pleasantly surprising.

| Telefunken Platinum Telf50 DVD/VCR Recorder Combo |
After rummaging around in the dungeon in order to find 10 mini VHS camera video tapes of our wedding and reception taken in 2001, I elected to transfer the video from this virtually obsolete medium to DVD. Risking being in the dog house forever if I botched the job, I unpacked the unit provided by
www.oo.com.au and started to connect it to a TV.
This is a 6 Head PAL/NTSC with playback HI FI & Hi speed rewind product.

| Axus FiT RAID Chassis |
From time to time DigitalReviews is approached to review products because of our reputation for unbiased, no holds barred reviews. I have to admit that I never heard of Axus in my travels, but they have kindly provided two of their FiT RAID Series chassis for our reviewing pleasure. Axus is a Taiwanese company that appears to specialise in storage - large amounts of it at 16 or 24 bays with fibre channel or SCSI interfaces. The Fit Series is their new foray into the lower end of the market and we will be reviewing the FiT 300E and the FiT 500E.
So how do these stack up?
