REVIEW: Mionix Naos 3200 by David |
Date: 18 May 2012 |
|
Reviewers thoughts
The Mionix Naos 3200 mouse at £38 represents pretty good value for money, although there were some things I felt could have been improved. The mouse has a solid design and build and I really like its sleek black looks. It feels very soft and is comfortable to hold for long periods of gaming due to its rubber moulding. The mouse is quite light and although it doesn’t feature any weight management system, I had no… |

Reviewers thoughts
The Tt eSPORTS Shock One headset is a well made and well designed headset, it’s packaging is more than adequate and it comes nicely presented. It also has a host of features that include Virtual surround sound, a noise cancelling mic, interchangeable ear-pads and a smart, well thought out control box. Add to this its ability to be folded for transport and its own velvet carry bag, you can see… |

So finally, you have made it to the final thoughts or you have just skipped to the conclusion and missed out on a whole wealth of information!?

The keyboard came well packaged in a nice box and I really liked the overall design and build of the keyboard… |

REVIEW: MSI GTX 680 TWIN FROZR (OC Edition) by James |
Date: 8 May 2012 |
|
Reviewers thoughts
The MSI GTX 680 TWIN FROZR (OC Edition) is the first new Nvidia Kepler based card that we have seen here at pcGameware, and its put in a rather impressive showing. This card is not based on the reference design and comes with the now common MSI Twin Frozr heatsink, this is a smart affair as it doesn’t rely on massive fans or heatsinks to do its job, a job it does well. |
REVIEW: Plantronics Gamecom 780 by David |
Date: 4 May 2012 |
|
Reviewers thoughts
Overall, I think the Plantronics Gamecom 780 headset represents really good value for money considering it also features 7.1 virtual surround sound. The packaging was sufficiently well designed with its black and orange look and the ability to see the headset from the outset via its clear window was nice. The headset was easy to install and there were no issues with the required software… |

REVIEW: Corsair H100 by James |
Date: 1 May 2012 |
|
Reviewers thoughts
The Corsair H100 has performed flawlessly throughout testing and I have witnessed the lowest temp recorded in the 4.8GHz test! Just take a look at those temperatures and let them speak for themselves. It would appear that Corsair has a real winner on their hands here; we have a well designed and constructed closed loop liquid cooler, that’s… |
REVIEW: Corsair Carbide 400R by Mark |
Date: 25 April 2012 |
|
Reviewers thoughts
The Corsair Carbide 400R Mid Tower Case is a solid well made case with good overall cooling and expansion capacity. The position of the front fan light switch, above the cases reset switch; and the flimsy separator bar between the motherboards backing plate aperture and its top expansion slot are the only minor flaws I could find in the cases construction. |
REVIEW: Thermaltake Level 10 GT by James |
Date: 19 April 2012 |
|
Reviewers thoughts
Impressed, very impressed I am (hold on I sound like Yoda!); the Thermaltake Level 10 GT impresses on all fronts, of course the styling may not be to everyone’s taste, but there is real function behind its bold design and I for one really like it. I like it as it’s not afraid of being different it’s not like all of the other cases out there, it’s something, well, special. |
