Wireless laser laptop mouse dissected

CPU3D reports on the Crucial Ballistix DDR2 PC8000 1GB kit. Supporting a FSB of up to 500MHz, it is equipped with memory sinks and although the price is not cheap,it will not deter potential buyers looking for maximum speed. The reviewer paired it with a Pentium D 805 which was able to run at 4.0GHz. They get a commendable 92% in the review.

The Logitech V540 wireless laser notebook mouse is checked at Techage. To my knowledge it is the first time that the wireless technology and the laser technology are combined in the laptop segment. It has a tiny receiver - which lodges behind the mouse itself - and the price is quite affordable at $50. Unfortunately, you still have to trust batteries rather than a more elegant integrated battery solution.

Proclockers tests the NZXT Apollo case which has been briefly covered in this column a few times in the past months. The casing is made up of steel, has two 120mm and support for technology like Firewire, Intel HD and sports a door and a killer look. It is tool less and has a price under $70 which is great. After the Lexa, the Apollo is yet another great casing from NZXT.

Trusted reviews reports on the Sapphire Liquid Cooled Radeon X1900 XTX toxic video card. The package of the card is absolutely sublime and is matched only by the price of the video card itself. This card itself is overclocked at 675MHz/1.6GHz with component output, composite and S-Video VIVO and a few more accessories. The cooler is manufactured by Thermaltake and costs £45 by itself, the card surprisingly is Crossfire compatible.

UK outfit Hexus checks the MSI K9N SLI Platinum motherboard featuring the mid range nForce 570 SLI. The board is not the best out there but if you have around £100 to invest on an AM2 board, this could well prove to be a very good purchase indeed. Enthusiasts, Overclockers and tweakers though would be better served by a more expensive motherboard.

Biosmagazine pays tribute to the LG KG800, otherwise known for some reason as the Chocolate phone. Whether you can eat it is something the reviewer did not test. But if you are in for chic, sleek and stylish, then you could not have fallen for something better. Still, you will pay a premium for something that does not support email, produces average music and most critically, has a poor battery life. µ
