Transcend JetFlash USB 2.0 Drive Review @ OCIA

"The JetFlash comes with everything you need to get started. The nice neck strap to choke the folks trying to steal your JetFlash, or to hang the unit around your neck so you don´t lose it; whichever you choose. A USB extension cord is provided as well. The standard user manual, product overview, and warranty card has also been supplied. You get a driver CD to install the JetFlash. This CD is only used for Windows 98, 98SE and below. Every other version recognizes it automatically. Then, of course, the JetFlash itself."

HWZ Review: Pentax Optio S4

"We give the Pentax Optio S4 a thumbs up for the flexibility it provides with all its features. Beginners might be blown away by all these special functions and may be able to accept the image quality the camera offers. But advance beginners and beyond should not be sidetracked by these features and keep in mind the fundamental purpose of having a camera, which is to take good photos."

GlobalWIN Silent Stream @ TrustedReviews

"Because the Silent Stream arrives pre-assembled and pre-filled, the easiest option is to mount the radiator/fan assembly inside your case. However, this impacts on performance as the warm air inside your case is being used to cool the water in the radiator. The manual also suggests that you break out the tin snips and cut away the fan grills so as to eliminate any possible restrictions to airflow."
