When you use a picoPSU in a case with space for a full ATX power supply unit (PSU) two questions can’t help but come up: how to plug the giant gap in the back, and where to mount the external plug. In the past I’ve just cut the back off a broken standard PSU and drilled a hole. While certainly […]
Read moreThermaltake has been making cases for a while, but usually they’re on the flashier, gamer side of things. This offering has a nice look. Notice the red on the front, which I actually don’t mind all that much, but it might not fit in with your specific environment. The Thermaltake Element Q mini-ITX case was made for space-limited conditions, such […]
Read moreWe covered HDGuru’s review of this same BDP-93 Blu-ray player before, but it’s always good to get multiple perspectives. In Oppo’s case however, the results are usually the same–they just keep making phenomenal products. And at $500, it’s a bit more than average players but the quality is without a doubt top notch. The key to the high performance is […]

I had very high expectations for Liam Neeson in Unknown and was extremely disappointed–not to say the movie is bad, but it’s pretty similar to some of his recent films which were better. Speaking of disappointment, Cedar Rapids, featuring Ed Helms (from THe Office and Hangover) stars in this […]

In our first look at ArcSoft’s TotalMedia Theatre 5 (TMT5), we found the updated version a huge step forward; however, there were a few outstanding issues we highlighted that were stopping TMT5 from attaining feature parity with stand-alone players and media streamers available on the market. Since that time, CyberLink has responded with an updated revision of their popular PowerDVD […]

Read moreSome good movies to choose from, Battle:Los Angeles NOT being one of them. My goodness that movie was awful, even if you like sci-fi it was just such a poorly made film I found myself begging for it to be over. Boondock Saints gets a new release, not exactly sure what’s new that wasn’t in the first Blu-ray but if […]
