Vertical mouse debuts

TAKE THE SLI plunge with Virtual Hideout. The reviewer introduces us for the nth time to SLI, its relative advantages and disadvantages and its impact on games. It's actually a small two page article worth reading if you're new to SLI and/or Crossfire - although the latter is not mentioned.

Meanwhile Digitalgrabber tests the Linksys WRT54GP2A-AT which is a Wireless Router and a VOiP Adapter. Now that's a cool thing to play with and if you add in the full duplex four port switch and the fact that Linksys produces top notch product, you end up with an A-list model. The problem is that that product is specifically designed to work with a proprietary service provider. Performance is excellent, degrading nicely.

Vertical mice do not only refer to rodents with the ability to slide on walls, they also point to some input devices like the Evoluent Vertical Mouse 2, as reviewed by Extremetech. It is a five button mouse and a 1200dpi resolution. Whether you like it or not is something of a personal judgement but it is apparently healthier and makes you less prone to RSI.

A True Review checks the AiZen FlyBy Bluetooth Headset. It comes with a USB charger cable - which is a nice idea. No ear clip required - which apparently improves comfort by quite a bit and its technology apparently eliminates all background noise. At 19g and with a talk time of 10 hours, it should be good enough for most tasks. Now that's a good combination for value for money.

Bigbruin shows what it takes to become a semi legend. The Thermaltake Mozart HTPC casing might have the name of one of the renowned composer of all times but can it pull out a trick to make it a legend on its own? Well read to know more. It has a LC display, an aluminium front panel design, ATX compatibility, all sorts of ports and seven expansion slots. Basically, it is a glorified desktop casing with a stylish look and lots of space inside.

Last but not least, Think computers checks a portable colour scanner, the Planon RC800. This is something rather unique to get a portable scanner these days. The Docupen as it is called can scan a ful page width in as little as four seconds. It can store hundreds of pages thanks to a 256MB maximum capacity and interfaces with your computer using USB port. The quality of the scans were excellent and the only complaint was about the relative flimsiness of the product. µ
