HP Laserjet 3015 MFD @ TrustedReviews

"One area that is beyond question however, is the 3015’s user friendliness. Setup is a breeze with the walk through software driver and HTML based viewer from which you can monitor the printer’s status, set up device alerts, log events and edit the quality and destination of your scans. And like the SCX-4216F you can write and edit your own fax phonebook and set up quick dial numbers from your PC which are stored directly to the device’s onboard memory."

Designtechnica reviews the Gateway FMC-901X Media Center PC

"The FMC-901X is a great system for those wanting to try something new. Gateway was the first to incorporate a computer into the home theater with the introduction of their Destination series systems, and the FMC-901X shows how well this genre has evolved. The FMC-901X is a very powerful system capable of playing the best video games, editing home movies and watching television. The system design is clean and attractive and should look good in most home theater setups. Gateway can still improve upon the FMC-901X by adding quieter cooling, integrating WiFi and adding more internal expansion. But as far as Media Center PC’s go in the mainstream computer market, the Gateway FMC-901X is a serious contender."

Driverheaven Review: Mystify Mamba / Boomslang 2100 / Icemat 2

"I enjoyed this review a lot and put both the mice through their paces in a variety of games — Unreal 2004, Painkiller, Warcraft III and Farcry, all combinations of mice and mats worked great, with some having a little more success than others. The shapes of these mice will have the most impact on your choice of purchase, the mamba better suited to smaller hands, while the boomslang is for those of you like myself who need something substantial to grip while playing. I never thought id say this but the ball/optical debate has very little to do in the purchasing of one of these mice, the boomslang is so well engineered and balanced you forget its not an optical mouse and performs up there with the best of them."

Elonex eXentia Media Center PC @ BIOS

"With Windows XP Media Center Edition, Microsoft is attempting to evolvethe home computer into a digital media hub, allowing you to watch,pause, or control live and recorded TV, listen to music, viewslideshows, and watch DVD movies, all through a single integratedinterface. Remote-control access also means you don´t even have to leaveyour seat. Designed for the living room, Elonex´s eXentia Media CenterPC is one of the best examples of a Media Center PC we´ve seen — butit´s not without its faults. Most noticeable is its relatively poorscreen and lack of surround sound, which are subtle reminders that thesystem is actually a PC rather than an A/V centre. These points aside,eXentia Media Center PC is impressively fast and boasts a good range ofconnectivity options, including 802.11g Wi-Fi, so it´s definitely wortha closer look if you´re after a Media Center PC."

Legion Hardware — (EPoX 8KDA3+)

"Unfortunately, the 8KDA3+ was slightly weaker than the K8NSNXP in some tests, though the margins were insignificant. At worst the 8KDA3+ was always just a few frames behind the K8NSNXP, which should not cause any concern."
