We had our first chance taking a look at a Samsung monitor larger than 19 inches.  Today, we will be reviewing the Samsung 204B LCD Monitor, a whopping 20 inch LCD monitor.  In this review, we will examine the overall design and features of the monitor; we will also discuss the benefits of having a larger LCD monitor compared with a slightly smaller LCD monitor or even the person still stuck in the CRT monitor realm.

With today's latest games having bigger and better graphics, it reminds us of how important the graphics card is as a component in our systems.  If you wish to play the latest and greatest graphic intensive games with quality, then it might be necessary for you to consider upgrading your graphics card.  Today, we will be reviewing the PowerColor X1800 GTO graphics card.  The X1800 is part of Canadian company ATI's latest graphics cards series.  The GTO label means that this graphics card has been designed for value in mind so that it is affordable, while still providing performance of the X1800 series.

Waking up is an ordeal and a challenge for most people. Being woken up before your body is ready can be a real trauma, particularly when using alarm clocks.  There must be a better way…

My choice?  A soft kiss on the forehead from my wife or a gentle reminder from the aXbo Sleep Phase Alarm Clock. Well, that's not really a choice, eh, but the aXbo has the advantage of knowing when it is the best time for my body to wake up.

This is how it works.

Choosing the right motherboard is vital for the ultimate gaming machine.  The motherboard is the core piece of hardware which sets the standard of the computer's potential.  The most important components of the motherboard are its qualities and features.  ECS has provided us with the motherboard, the KN1 SLI Extreme, supporting AMD's Socket 939 Athlon 64 CPUs.  This board is packed with features for the hardcore user, but does it have the performance and reliability to match?  This can easily be determined by benchmarking it in a variety of tests to see if this motherboard is well worth its money.

To give you an idea of where this product stands relative to ATI's current line of next generation graphics chips, it begins at the entry-level with the X1300.  At the midrange, is the X1600 series.  The X1800 and X1900 series is where we progress to the higher to highest end graphics chips on the market.  The X1300 is an entry-level graphics card which incorporates the latest Shader Model 3.0 technology to allow you to play the latest games.  At this level, it is a matter of the kind of performance and features is offered at the budget price.
