u FSXtreme 240GB SLC SSD Review
"A big part of just about any technology game these days is versatility. We’re no longer satisfied with products that only serve one purpose or can only be used under one kind of circumstance.

Tesoro Excalibur G7NL Gaming Keyboard
Synology’s latest two-bay NAS is the DS215j. This model looks very similar to the DS214 and shares almost all of the features, except for the loss of one USB 3.0 port (you get one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0) and a reduction in processor speed. The DS214 uses a dual core 1.066GHz Marvell while the new DS215j has a dual core Marvell running at 800MHz.

ASUS Z97-Pro Gamer Review
"Should we visit Kyrat or let the Crab Rangoon get cold? In my opinion, Far Cry 4 is definitely a game worth playing, though it may be worth putting off so that hopefully some of the graphical issues can be addressed. The stuttering may be bad, but the broken shadows are just, well, broken, and break the experience to a degree. Hopefully both will ... [PCSTATS]
