Buffalo girl meets clever antenna

Hardwarezone takes a hard look at the Nikon D2X Digital SLR. It is the top-of-the-range camera from Nikon and is the first Nikon camera to go beyond the eight digit barrier. It even comes with a wireless transmitter and an extrended range antenna, a very bright idea indeed.

PSUs are often regarded as the least important item in your PC. But it should be no more. Tomshardware lines up one and a half dozen power supply units from a dozen manufacturers to determine which one is the best on 37 pages - some are known names and some lesser known like Zippy or NorthQ.

At Xtremeresources, PSU's are also on the stage with the review of the BeQuiet Black Line BQT P5-470WS1.3, arguably, a most boring name for a PSU. This power supply is geared towards P4/Athlon series and comes covered with a three year warranty. Xtremeresources apparently fancy these a lot.

The ECS KN1 Extreme returns under our limelights this time, at Xbitlabs. Ilya Gavrichenkov acknowledges that ECS has done a fantastic job in bringing top notch performance - a nForce4 Ultra - at an affordable price - $120. The ECS Kn1 extreme might have some defaults like obsolete onboard controllers and noisy fans but these cannot hiide the attractivity of this motherboard.

Biosmagazine brings us the Buffalo Linkstation Network storage centre. In a nutshell, a wireless network attached device which means that you can access storage without cables. The days of a wireless hard disk are not that far. Elsewhere on the website, they are also reviewing the Imation Disk Stakka CD/DVD storage system which allows you to stock up to 500 discs. At £1 per disc for storage only, it is seems to be quite expensive. In comparison, a 500 DVD plastic case costs only £10 and a 250GB hard disk, only £70.

British based ITreviews have a look at the Fuji Finepix F440 digital camera which boosts a 3.4x optical zoom lens and a 2-inch LCd display enbodied in a 150g, cigarette-boxed sized camera. No sample pictures though of this camera. You'd probably find them elsewhere.

HKEPC takes a deep breath and plunges into the world of RIALTO, ATI's AGP solution to its high end worries. It tests three cards from Colourful, a X700XT, a X800XL and a X800 card. Benchmarks and some saucy chip pictures are on display there.
