iStar T5F-SS SATA Hard Drive Rack 07-22-2008

iStar originally catered more towards IT professionals and the like, but in recent years, they have started creating products that the average consumer can use on a daily basis. Items such as ATX computer cases, hard drive coolers and external hard drive enclosures are all items now offered by iStar. Today we will be taking a look at one of iStar's new products, the T5F-SS, a mobile hard drive rack for use with any 3.5" SATA drive.

SilverStone TS01 2.5-Inch SATA RFID External HDD Enclosure 07-18-2008

I don't know about you, but I have quite a bit of data that I wouldn't want others to have direct access to. Items such as e-mail archives and financial records could potentially be disastrous in the hands of someone with malicious intent. Those who carry around vital data in external enclosures are even more at risk, as this data is "out and about" quite often and subject to loss or theft. If you fit into either of these categories, SilverStone recently released an external 2.5" hard drive enclosure that uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology to encrypt the contents of the drive inside, rendering it useless without the RFID sensor key to unlock it.

Moneual Labs MonCaso 972 HTPC Chassis 07-16-2008

We received the silver model but a black version is also available, if that would better fit your home theater system color scheme. The 7" touchscreen immediately makes its presence known, taking up the entire center area of the front bezel. Just below the LCD screen is a spot for your optical drive. To the right, we have a bank of control buttons and a volume knob. On the left, we find a power button, HDD LED and IR sensor (more on all of these in a bit).

GELID Solutions GC-1 Thermal Compound 07-09-2008

Today we have for review one of GELID's first products ever, their thermal compound, GC-1. I’ve seen a lot of thermal compounds hit the market and pass it by, and often times it seems as though it will take something absolutely astonishing to overshadow the great name of Arctic Silver 5. Even though many pastes out there perform better, have better features (not electrically conductive, doesn’t have a burn in period, etc.) and are cheaper than Arctic Silver 5, it seems impossible to knock it from its thrown.

Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse 07-07-2008

We have hardcore gamer mice with plenty of customizable buttons and super-sensitive laser tracking, ergonomic mice that offer great comfort and ease of use, all-purpose mice that are suitable for most needs and even mobile mice, designed for use with your notebook while you are out of the office on business or maybe even on vacation. Logitech has mice that fall into every category mentioned, and today we will be taking a look at the VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks, a portable solution that promises to pack a lot of features in a very small footprint.

OCIA.net June Contest

As many of you know, we just launched a new feature on the site / forum, our Member Photo Gallery. We have several categories where you can share photos of your computer, hardware, tech toys, cars, anything you want really (within reason, of course). To help celebrate the opening of our photo gallery and stir up some excitement, we have teamed up with Tagan to give away one of their CS-Monolize Super Tower Cases!
