Today we are taking a quick look at their YP-K3 player, a 2GB flash-based offering, which is also available in 4GB. I'm not normally one to oogle over a simple MP3 player, but the K3 seems to have done everything right in terms of styling. It's glossy black all over with silver trim. Made even better, the player includes a 160x128 OLED 1.8" screen with a blue color scheme.
Today we will be taking a look at a powerful unit from their newest line, named X3. Ultra has taken all of the best features from their previous models and packed them in the X3. On paper, this power supply looks to have everything a hardcore enthusiast could want, and more. But, will it be able to deliver on those promises?
The case comes packed in to a light colored box with all the features and specifications printed on it on multiple lanuguages. Inside the box the case it self is held in place with shaped foam-pieces and wrapped into white cloth. This is a good way of preventing fingerprints which the gloss black finish otherwise would get already during the unpacking.
On the front are various LEDs which clearly show the status and activity of the device. There are LEDs for USB, SATA, eSATA, LAN and power. Besides that there is on an/off button and a copy button which is used for backups, more on that later. One of the three USB ports is on the front, this should make it easy to connect USB sticks.
Officially Intel P35 chipset supports DDR2 memories up to DDR2-800 and DDR3 memories up to DDR3-1066. However, just like it happens with Intel P965 chipset, P35 unofficially supports DDR2-1066 and we could set our DDR2-1066 memories to run at 1,066 MHz without any problem. On this motherboard sockets 1 and 3 are blue and 2 and 4 are black, so to enable dual channel feature just install your memory modules on sockets with the same color. This motherboard supports up to 8 GB of RAM.
As far as exteriors go, this one is smooth and sleek with clean lines. The front bezel is broken down into 3 sections and is covered in a black Piano finish. The upper section has a door covering the external bays and switches. The door swings open 225°, which makes it user friendly for people who have the tower on the right side of the desk. Section two on the bezel is the front panel I/O connections, the lower section has openings for the front air intake, and behind this area is a removable air filter.
Bass is achieved like many headsets of this type through the use of an external battery container which provides power for the enhanced bass functionality. What makes the Genius headset different is the option to use a USB port to provide the power instead of using up an endless supply of batteries or having to recharge batteries often. The optional included plug assures you that you will always be getting the best added bass possible.
One possible solution to the flash drive dilemma hit our labs last week in the form of Corsair's new Flash Padlock, which is a PIN-protected USB flash drive. Intrigued? So were we, which is why we are bringing you this article today. Before you can access the data on this drive, you have to enter a personal identification number, or PIN. It sounds like a clever solution, but does it work? Join us as we seek to answer that question and to see if the Flash Padlock makes it a little easier to live with with data.
This is clearly a budget power supply that's intended for affordable builds. This is certainly not a bad thing since many people are looking for a quality, well priced power supply. Let's face it, not everyone can afford a top of the line power supply. The OCZ StealthXStream 600W Power Supply will definitely fit most budgets. What gets me is the noisy 120mm fan. After all this power supply is named StealthXStream and has OCZ PowerWhisper Technology…
One of the positives things about the QcK is that its cloth surface feels more comfortable than a hard plastic surface. The build quality of this pad is definitely better than all other cloth mousepads I've used in the past but the QcK just isn't as durable as a mousepad made out of aluminum or plastic. A cloth mousepad gets dirty easily and spilling one of your beverages over it won't do it any good either.
