STILL ANOTHER network gizmo from Biosmagazine. This time it is a Wireless Internet Security Camera, the D-Link DCS-5300G which comes under scrutiny. At £329, though, it is somewhat expensive but it is a high quality, wireless and discrete camera that works over the web.

An UFO is under review at Mikhailtech. Kidding. Actually, it is the Thermaltake Starforce Fan Review which features a dual blade fan and plenty of lights to make it ressemble Roswell's christmas tree. Is it as efficient as it is eye-catching? See for yourself.

Hexus's DV doctor brings us one heck of a review. A 3-CCD semi professional HDV camera worth £2400, the Sony HDR-FX1. This will allow UK professionals to quadruple the pixel count of the PAL system according to the review.

Digital-Daily explores the Intel D925XCV motherboard review. Based on the faster 925X Express chipset, that motherboard oozes quality but like most Intel motherboard is geared towards no-frill, brand-conscious customer, more than anything else. In contrast, the other product tested at the same website is the Epox 5EPA+ which is based on the i915P and supports DDR rather than DDR2. This board provides much more for a cheaper price like 8-channel audio, Gigabyte LAN etc. Reliable, Cheap and cheerful. Hopefully Intel will follow suit soon.

Another Epox product under review is the 9NDA3+ based on the 939-pin, nForce 3 Ultra chipset. The review, from Tweaktown, carries load of benchmarks and shows that the nForce 3 Ultra in this Epox solution still have a lot of life ahead of it.

Coming from the Far East is a review of the CMV CT-720D 17-inch LCD TFT. CMV is part of the Chi Mei group which manufactures loads of TFT panels for others like Benq or Viewsonic. The CT-320D features a 8ms response time and a 450cd brightness rating. Is it the LCD gamers have been waiting for? It retails in Singapore for around £150.

Hauppauge launched a little brother to its popular PVR-250, the aptly named, PVR-150. It has many of the characteristics of its brother without the price though. The card is reviewed at HTPCnews and provides you with information should you want to buy it. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
