- Intel Bobble Head Pen Holder - The Coolest Swag Ever
E3Intel Bobble Head Pen Holder - The Coolest Swag EverWe ask the Intel Bunny Man bobble head what he thinks of AMD's latest Phenom II processors, and we also get his take on the Intel "Extreme" series of processors. We think you will find him to be an unbiased and reliable source of information - Acer Aspire Revo Ion Atom 330 Nettop Unboxing & First Look
E6Acer Aspire Revo Ion Atom 330 Nettop Unboxing & First LookGot my hands on the brand new Acer Aspire Revo. There are finally in stock after so many months of hype about the "upcoming" Ion platform from nVidia. It's finally here! I haven't done any testing with it yet, but - MSI P55-CD53 P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard Unboxing
E8MSI P55-CD53 P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard UnboxingI've got the whole MSI P55 family with me now. I'm excited to bring your my unboxing of what I think could be one of the hottest P55 motherboards at launch. MSI is targeting a very aggressive price point with this board, but they're including some killer features like OC Genie and DrMOS. - MSI P55-GD80 P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard Unboxing
E9MSI P55-GD80 P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard UnboxingThe last in this series of MSI P55 motherboard unboxing videos (for now...). Stay tuned for more motherboard previews from other vendors as supplies start to trickle in leading up to the launch of the P55 platform. - Lian Li PC-Q07B mITX aluminum PC Case Unboxing
E10Lian Li PC-Q07B mITX aluminum PC Case UnboxingWell our Lian Li shipment was delayed by the typhoon, but it's finally here! I'm really excited to show off their latest creation. Cool features of this case include support for 1x5.25" drive, 1x3.5" drive, and a standard ATX power supply - Picquic Screwdriver Dash 7, Multique, and Teeny Turner Hands On
E11Picquic Screwdriver Dash 7, Multique, and Teeny Turner Hands OnI have a quick look at some "Made Right in Canada" Picquic screwdrivers: The Dash 7, Multique, and Teeny Turner. They feature a unique bit load system and rugged construction. - Gigabyte P55M-UD4 P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard Unboxing
E12Gigabyte P55M-UD4 P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard UnboxingHere's the full version of the video I meant to upload last night. I never meant to put up an incomplete video. We cover the accessories and layout of an exciting new P55 motherboard coming from Gigabyte the P55M-UD4. It's the first board we've seen with SLI and Crossfire in a mATX form factor on this new platform. - Gigabyte P55-UD6 P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard Unboxing
E13Gigabyte P55-UD6 P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard UnboxingThe cream of the cream for Gigabyte P55 motherboard lineup: The P55-UD6. It features 24 phase power, SLI and Crossfire, and pretty much everything else you could want on a premium board. This is our first video filmed in Taiwan (snicker). I hope you enjoy it. - Gigabyte P55M-UD2 P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard Unboxing
E14Gigabyte P55M-UD2 P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard UnboxingIt's my pleasure to present Gigabyte entry level P55 motherboard. It's a mATX solution that doesn't have some of the higher end features like sophisticated VRM cooling and SLI/Crossfire, but you can still expect excellent performance out of this small package. - Gigabyte P55-UD5 P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard Unboxing
E15Gigabyte P55-UD5 P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard UnboxingThis step-down board from the uber-premium UD6 that we already looked at is mostly the same in terms of feature set. The biggest differences between the UD5 and the UD6 lie in the subtle details and the inclusion of a 12 phase power design versus a 24 phase power design. - Corsair 8GB 1600MHz C9 DDR3 Dual Channel Memory Kit
E16Corsair 8GB 1600MHz C9 DDR3 Dual Channel Memory KitWent down to the warehouse and grabbed a set of Corsair 8GB dual channel "i5" RAM so I thought I'd show you all the packaging it comes in. It lacks the traditional Corsair clamshell on account of it being a 4 DIMM kit. I suspect if these kits take off in popularity we will see more of them in the future, and a proper package. We also have a look at Corsair's hot new heatspreader. - Sans Digital TR4M-B eSATA 4 Bay Hard Drive Enclosure
E18Sans Digital TR4M-B eSATA 4 Bay Hard Drive EnclosurePart two of our "building an external RAID enclosure for the Cameraman" project involves finding a suitable enclosure. I realize I'm a little late with this update, but I'm happy to say our latest NCIX Tech Tips video was actually edited on the RAID 10 array in this enclosure and the Cameraman is very impressed with the speed - Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB Dual Processor SATA Hard Drive Unboxing
E19Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB Dual Processor SATA Hard Drive UnboxingYeah. It's a hard drive. What are YOU gonna do? Actually we only unboxed this hard drive because we need four of them for Cameraman's new video editing eSATA enclosure. - Noctua NH-U12P SE2 Core i5/i7 CPU Heatpipe Cooler Unboxing
E20Noctua NH-U12P SE2 Core i5/i7 CPU Heatpipe Cooler UnboxingSince i5 is just around the corner, many of the heatsink manufacturers have been shipping compatible units for quite a while. We open up the NH-U12P SE2 (Special Edition TWO!!!) to find out what's so special about it - Corsair Dominator GT Core i5 P55 Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Unboxing
E27Corsair Dominator GT Core i5 P55 Dual Channel DDR3 Memory UnboxingI'm unboxing more RAM. I actually thought this stuff was blue on top (didn't bother to look online) and I wanted to put it in the demo system I'm doing for our soon-to-be-open Aberdeen store, but when I unboxed it I found out it was red. Boo. - ASUS Maximus III Formula P55 SLI LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard Unboxing
E29ASUS Maximus III Formula P55 SLI LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard UnboxingToday we take the ASUS Maximus III Formula P55 motherboard for a quick spin. I'm really impressed by the look and features of this board, but the price you pay for it is quite high. - Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 CPU Heatsink Cooler Unboxing
E31Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 CPU Heatsink Cooler UnboxingToday we unbox the successor to the supremely popular Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. This "rev2" model brings a new mounting clip system to the table along with support for LGA116. - ASUS P7P55D P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard Unboxing
E34ASUS P7P55D P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard UnboxingSo this is the "somewhat high end" but "still no support for SLI" motherboard from ASUS's P55 line up. It's basically a somewhat upgraded version of the "LE" board or a somewhat downgraded version of the "Pro" board. However you want to look at it. - ASUS P7P55D EVO P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard Unboxing
E35ASUS P7P55D EVO P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard UnboxingThe Evo version of ASUS' P7P55D lineup fits into kinda a weird niche. It's for users who don't want to pay for the high end "Deluxe" board, but a few features beyond what's already offered on the "Pro" level board. Personally if I was on a budget I'd be looking at the Pro board because it includes SLI support, and this one doesn't seem to have much in terms of benefits over it. - ASUS P7P55D Deluxe P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard Unboxing
E36ASUS P7P55D Deluxe P55 LGA1156 Core i5 Motherboard UnboxingThe "Deluxe" level board has all the bells and whistles without the wicked colour scheme of the Maximus III Formula. Overall I think I'd go for the Maximus III Formula if I was spending this much on an ASUS P55 board. - Steelseries 4HD Gaming Mouse Pad & XAI Laser Gaming Mouse Unboxing
E37Steelseries 4HD Gaming Mouse Pad & XAI Laser Gaming Mouse UnboxingGot these in the mail today and thought I'd give you all a quick look at them. This is the brand new XAI laser gaming mouse from Steelseries and one of their new gaming surfaces, the 4HD. Spent some time using them tonight and while I really like the tracking on the XAI, the ergonomics are just not up to par with the Ikari Laser (my current favourite). The 4HD doesn't do anything for me (cloth user), but the medium-rough surface user in the house really likes it so far. - AuzenTech X-FI Hometheater HD Sound Card Unboxing
E49AuzenTech X-FI Hometheater HD Sound Card UnboxingToday I unbox a very unique product. This card has support for DTS-HD and TRUE-HD so you can actually experience lossless Blu-Ray audio with this sound card!! Also it features an X-fi chip, so it's great for gaming. - WD TV Live HD Network Media Player from Western Digital Unboxing
E55WD TV Live HD Network Media Player from Western Digital UnboxingI'm very excited to bring you the WDTV Live. These things arrived in our warehouse minutes ago, so I grabbed one of my co-workers and we threw together a quick video to show you this cool new product. - Kodak EasyShare M1093 IS Digital Camera Unboxing
E56Kodak EasyShare M1093 IS Digital Camera UnboxingStill in search of a camera that takes good quality video indoors and can focus up close without too much hassle. One of my co-workers says this one has a pretty good video mode, so I figured I'd give it a shot. - Radeon HD 5750 1GB ATI Video Card XFX Unboxing
E59Radeon HD 5750 1GB ATI Video Card XFX UnboxingFinally I've released my last unboxing of the Radeon 5000 series. The Radeon 5750 is the entry level DirectX 11 part from ATI at this time, and it delivers a lot of the features of its more expensive brothers at a fraction of the price. - Patriot Box Office Media Player Unboxing
E60Patriot Box Office Media Player UnboxingYet another media player that sits next to your TV and streams files over the network and/or from an internal/external hard drive. Yes that sounds complicated, but actually they're quite simple to use and very inexpensive compared to using computers for everything. - Corsair Dream PC Showcase
E63Corsair Dream PC ShowcaseCorsair's big thing right now is about using their components as the basis for your new PC. This Windows 7, DirectX 11, Core i7 gaming PC that we built for them to take to tradeshows is a great example of their new philosophy of choosing reputable parts to build your own "brand name" PC. - Microsoft Wireless Xbox 360 PC Game Controller Unboxing
E68Microsoft Wireless Xbox 360 PC Game Controller UnboxingSo this video was shot with the Lifecam Cinema WebCam from Microsoft. I bought this thing for Batman: AA, but I ended up finishing the game with the Mouse/Keyboard before it came in stock, so oh well... - G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 RAM Unboxing
E75G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 RAM UnboxingRAM isn't always the most interesting thing in the world to some people, but these Ripjaws series DIMMs have been lighting some fires lately both in the record books and in people's homes (not literally in people's homes... I mean they can buy this awesome RAM and take it home...) - Windows 7 Downgrade Tutorial
E76Windows 7 Downgrade TutorialContrary to all of the other information I was able to find (on official documents AND on the internet) you are NOT supposed to install Windows XP first, then request a downgrade from the product activation center. You are supposed to call Microsoft Customer Service at 1-800-936-5700 and request a downgrade BEFORE you install Windows XP. - Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ Network Media Player Unboxing
E77Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ Network Media Player UnboxingYet another network media player! It seems like everyone wants to get into this market. Check it, yo. One of the unique features that this Seagate unit has going for it is a dock for their 2.5" external hard drive enclosures. - OCZ Special Ops DDR3 RAM Dual Channel Kit Unboxing
E82OCZ Special Ops DDR3 RAM Dual Channel Kit UnboxingGot this sample today and normally I wouldn't have bothered to unbox a product that we don't even carry at NCIX, but it seems like this product would go really well with the Sabertooth 55i motherboard that I unboxed the other night. - Western Digital WD Green 1TB Energy Efficient SATA Hard Drive Unboxing
E83Western Digital WD Green 1TB Energy Efficient SATA Hard Drive UnboxingI had to go to our Langley store and buy a hard drive today. One of the drives in my Windows Home Server died and needs to be replaced. I chose the WD Green because of its "green" power saving characteristics, but if you don't want to read this blurb, you could always just watch the video to find that out :P - OCZ Vertex SSD 60GB Solid State Drive Unboxing
E84OCZ Vertex SSD 60GB Solid State Drive UnboxingToday I'm unboxing the OCZ Vertex. I actually already have one of these that I'm very happy with (it's a 120GB), but I bought it before I started doing unboxing videos, so I didn't have one that was still sealed to unbox for you all. This 60GB is destined for my media PC when I move into my new house, but I'm jumping the gun a little bit on unwrapping it :p - Frozen Q PC Mods Liquid Fusion T-Virus Water Cooling Reservoir Unboxing
E86Frozen Q PC Mods Liquid Fusion T-Virus Water Cooling Reservoir UnboxingToday I'll be unboxing something that interests me, and very few other people, but you will have to indulge me because I've not been feeling well enough to go into the warehouse and get other stuff out. This came to me in the mail. - Zowie Gear Hammer Gaming Headset and G-TF Cloth Mouse Pad Unboxing
E87Zowie Gear Hammer Gaming Headset and G-TF Cloth Mouse Pad UnboxingToday I have a couple of unique products from a relatively new company in the "gaming gear" market. The headphones have SURPRISINGLY good sound isolation (they are "closed" headphones) and equally surprising sound quality compared to similarly priced gaming products, but the build quality leaves a bit to be desired. The mouse pad isn't my favourite, but I don't really like fast mouse pads, so that could be the problem. - A quick look at a build I'm working on including the T-Virus Reservoir
E88A quick look at a build I'm working on including the T-Virus ReservoirJust a quick video I threw together. As with every build I do, it's a work in progress, and one of the big things it needs is LIGHTS, but I've got the reservoir running now and it looks HAWT! - Silverstone Strider 1500W Fully Modular Power Supply First Look & Unboxing
E90Silverstone Strider 1500W Fully Modular Power Supply First Look & UnboxingThis power supply has intrigued me since I first heard about it. It's a 1500W fully modular unit with an 80+ Silver rating. Basically by the time you actually maxxed out a PC connected to this thing, you wouldn't be able to plug your monitor and PC speakers into the same wall outlet!! - Corsair TX750 Power Supply First Look & Unboxing
E92Corsair TX750 Power Supply First Look & UnboxingThe reason for all the power supply unboxings lately is that I'm planning an episode of NCIX Tech Tips where basically I explain the benefits of non-modular vs modular power supplies. This one is to be my example of an excellent non-modular power supply. - Razer Mako 2.1 Gaming Speaker System First Look & Unboxing
E93Razer Mako 2.1 Gaming Speaker System First Look & UnboxingYet another unboxing of something I've spent my own hard-earned money on. I'm very impressed with these things so far. They aren't outstanding from a "loudness" point of view, but the stereo effect is excellent and very hard to lose even if you move around the room. - Thermaltake BlacX Black Widow USB to SATA Hard Drive Dock First Look & Unboxing
E94Thermaltake BlacX Black Widow USB to SATA Hard Drive Dock First Look & UnboxingHaving a look at a neat & unique product today. The BlacX allows you to use hard drives basically like you would normally use floppy disks! - Steelseries Siberia V2 PC Gaming Headset First Look & Unboxing
E95Steelseries Siberia V2 PC Gaming Headset First Look & UnboxingThis is a product I've been quite excited to see for a while. The original Siberia was very well regarded and it looks like Steelseries has made some very compelling improvements to this product. Hopefully I will have a chance to listen to them soon and give my impressions. - Imogen Studio Mister Robot-O Head Tracking Webcam Unboxing & First Look
E96Imogen Studio Mister Robot-O Head Tracking Webcam Unboxing & First LookThis is a pretty cool product that we're looking at bringing in at some point in the future (potentially). The killer apps are automatic head tracking and it comes bundled with an application that allows you to monitor your webcam remotely from another PC or even your iPhone (over 3G!!) - ATI Radeon HD 5970 Video Card Installation in Corsair Obsidian 800D
E98ATI Radeon HD 5970 Video Card Installation in Corsair Obsidian 800DHere I take a look at the 5970 in terms of what kind of gargantuan case you're going to need to install this crazy thing. I'm using the Corsair 800D, but I suppose there might be a couple more cases out there that will support it. Seriously though, this thing is HUGE. Even gamer-oriented cases like the Antec 900 won't fit it without modifications. - Imogen Studio Mister Robot-O & Seedonk Application iPhone Webcam Monitoring
E99Imogen Studio Mister Robot-O & Seedonk Application iPhone Webcam MonitoringThis thing is actually pretty cool. It's motion-sensing and it tracks your face to make sure that the webcam is always looking at you. You can also use the included Seedonk application to monitor your webcam from another computer or even an iPhone! - Steelseries WoW Mouse Unboxing & Comparison with Razer Naga MMO Mouse
E100Steelseries WoW Mouse Unboxing & Comparison with Razer Naga MMO MouseHere I do an unboxing and short comparison of the WoW Mouse from Steelseries against its most direct competition, the Razer Naga. The Naga has an advantage in terms of ergonomics and number of buttons, but the WoW mouse has the upper hand in terms of software integration and buttom layout (if you don't want all buttons in the same place) - Puretrak Talent Ultra Thick Cloth Mouse Pad Unboxing & First Look
E101Puretrak Talent Ultra Thick Cloth Mouse Pad Unboxing & First LookOverall I'd say I'm impressed with the product. Tracking is flawless with my Ikari Laser and with my G9 even at very low CPI/DPI settings. My one criticism is that the surface is a little bit too fast for me compared to the QCK I'm using now. Not enough friction. That should be GREAT for people who are trying to make the transition from a hard smooth surface to cloth though! - Steelseries 5H V2 USB Gaming Headset Unboxing & First Look
E102Steelseries 5H V2 USB Gaming Headset Unboxing & First LookI'm demoing a product that I've actually been using for a while (without the USB dongle, which works great and didn't even need me to download drivers btw) and I have to say that besides maybe the Siberia V2, the 5H V2 is the most comfortable headset out there for gaming. Yeah the performance isn't that great for music, but since most people don't listen to music for 5+ hours in a row, and many people game for that long, comfort is FAR more important than sound quality for a gaming headset. - Intel Turbo Boost Explanation & Windows Gadget
E103Intel Turbo Boost Explanation & Windows GadgetToday I explain what Intel Turbo Boost technology does for you, but mostly I'm just showing the cool little gadget that they've created which monitors how much your CPU is overclocking itself at any given time. - G.Skill Eco Series DDR3 Dual Channel RAM Memory Unboxing & First Look
E104G.Skill Eco Series DDR3 Dual Channel RAM Memory Unboxing & First LookHaving a look at a pretty unique product today. Everyone in the RAM industry is pushing for faster and faster speeds, but G.Skill seems to be the only one doing that while driving the power consumption DOWN! - Gigabyte X58A-UD7 Core i7 X58 SLI Motherboard Unboxing & First Look
E105Gigabyte X58A-UD7 Core i7 X58 SLI Motherboard Unboxing & First LookForgot to write a description for this. I didn't actually mean to make it public, but YouTube fails. I wanted to fix the black borders before making it visible to everyone. I guess it's out there now so I might as well leave it. - Noctua NH-D14 140mm Tower Heatpipe Cooler Unboxing & First Look
E106Noctua NH-D14 140mm Tower Heatpipe Cooler Unboxing & First LookHaving a quick look at the heatpipe cooler that's dominating the charts right now. Still getting the hang of my new high def camera, but image quality seems better than the last one. - Gigabyte P55A-UD4P Core i5 P55 SLI Motherboard Unboxing & First Look
E107Gigabyte P55A-UD4P Core i5 P55 SLI Motherboard Unboxing & First LookUSB 3.0 and SATA3 or SATA 6.0Gb/s are the big features on this new generation of boards coming out right now. Check out one of the best "bang for the buck" boards out there from Gigabyte. - Snow Ramp Wipe Out My Little Brother Hits Our Ramp on the Wagon
E108Snow Ramp Wipe Out My Little Brother Hits Our Ramp on the WagonSorry for the random video but this was too funny not to share. Was at my parents' place for a family photo and we decided to test our snow ramp by removing the middle of the ramp and launching my brother at it in a wagon. - Noctua NH-C12P SE14 140mm Fan Heatpipe CPU Heatsink Unboxing & First Look
E110Noctua NH-C12P SE14 140mm Fan Heatpipe CPU Heatsink Unboxing & First LookHaving a look at Noctua's brand new CPU cooler. Well, it's not really brand new, but the fan sitting on top of it is quite new. Basically this new cooler is the old NH-C12P, but now it's got a 140mm fan!! - Logitech G110 Gaming Keyboard First Look & Unboxing
E111Logitech G110 Gaming Keyboard First Look & UnboxingIt's been a while since Logitech has been releasing new products so actively. It seems like the G15 gen2 and G9 were on the market forever without a refresh and now suddenly we have TWO new keyboards (G19 and G110) as well as a new mouse (G500) with hopefully more to come! - Gigabyte P55A-UD4P P55 Core i5 SLI motherboard Unboxing & First Look
E112Gigabyte P55A-UD4P P55 Core i5 SLI motherboard Unboxing & First LookToday I have a look at another member of Gigabyte's P55 lineup. The P55A-UD4P. Like its big brother it features SLI, USB 3, and SATA 6Gb/s, but in a more economical package. - Gigabyte P55A-UD3 P55 Core i5 LGA1156 Motherboard Unboxing & First Look
E113Gigabyte P55A-UD3 P55 Core i5 LGA1156 Motherboard Unboxing & First LookHaving a look at the entry level board from Gigabyte's new P55A line up. No SLI and less robust power delivery are a couple of features missing on this board when compared against its big brother the UD4P. - Primochill Typhoon III Water Cooling Reservoir and Pump Top Unboxing & First Look
E114Primochill Typhoon III Water Cooling Reservoir and Pump Top Unboxing & First LookAnother completely self-indulgent unboxing of water cooling stuff! The Typhoon III is a very unique reservoir, so you should check this out whether you care about water cooling or not. Also I edited a video for the first time. - Razer Lycosa Mirror Gaming Keyboard Unboxing & First Look
E115Razer Lycosa Mirror Gaming Keyboard Unboxing & First LookToday I have a look at a pretty cool special edition of the Razer Lycosa keyboard. It features quiet keys, a very standard (read: good) layout and some other key gaming related features. - Microsoft Sidewinder X8 Cordless Gaming Mouse Unboxing & First Look
E116Microsoft Sidewinder X8 Cordless Gaming Mouse Unboxing & First LookI've been interested in seeing this mouse since I first heard of it. It boasts excellent wireless 2.4GHz performance, along with a host of other gaming related features. - A Quick Warning About the Dangers of Static Electricity & Computer Hardware
E118A Quick Warning About the Dangers of Static Electricity & Computer HardwareIt struck me today that static electricity can be a real problem, and many users may not know the proper procedure for discharging any built up static electricity from their bodies so I got all charged up and made a video about it. - Logitech G13 Gaming Keypad or Keyboard Unboxing & First Look
E120Logitech G13 Gaming Keypad or Keyboard Unboxing & First LookThis is a product that was a long time coming. A replacement for the traditional keyboard we've been using for gaming since the days of Wolfenstein (yeah I know there was stuff before that, but that's as far back as I go). Belkin tried, and their product is well-regarded, but it's about time one of the big boys took a shot at this one. - ASUS P7P55D-E Pro P55 Core i5 LGA1156 Motherboard Unboxing & First Look
E121ASUS P7P55D-E Pro P55 Core i5 LGA1156 Motherboard Unboxing & First LookI've finally gotten around to taking a quick look at one of ASUS' new P55 boards with USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0Gb/s. Basically not a whole lot has been updated except for those two MAJOR updates to the spec of this board. You can save yourself the trouble of watching if you already know what a USB 3.0 or SATA 6.0Gb/s port looks like. - Steelseries 4H PC Gaming Headset Unboxing & First Look
E122Steelseries 4H PC Gaming Headset Unboxing & First LookToday I take a quick look at the Steelseries 4H headset. This is one of the more basic products in their lineup, but besides the "features" like detachable ear pieces, it's not very much unlike the 5H V2, but at a very competitive price. - Steelseries 5L Gaming Mouse Pad Unboxing & First Look
E123Steelseries 5L Gaming Mouse Pad Unboxing & First LookThis mouse pad actually really impressed me. I've been using it for a few days as of uploading this video and it's definitely a worthy replacement for my trusty QCK . Bravo Steelseries. It's a little bit faster than what I'm used to, but the comfort that I love from cloth is still there! - Edifier e3300 Lifestyle 2.1 Speaker System Unboxing & First Look feat. Esther!
E124Edifier e3300 Lifestyle 2.1 Speaker System Unboxing & First Look feat. Esther!This is my Christmas present for Esther this year, so I thought it's only appropriate to demand not only that she allow me to unbox it on YouTube, but also that she make an appearance for her adoring Facebook fans. - Netgear GS608 Gigabit Green 8 Port Desktop Switch Unboxing & First Look
E125Netgear GS608 Gigabit Green 8 Port Desktop Switch Unboxing & First LookToday I have a quick look at a great switch that I'm already using at home. I had such good results with mine (bought it some time ago) I thought I'd better do a quick video about it. Very reliable and inexpensive little switch :) - ASUS O!Play Air Network 1080p Wireless HD Media Player Unboxing & First Look
E126ASUS O!Play Air Network 1080p Wireless HD Media Player Unboxing & First LookThe most obvious improvements made over the original O!Play are the wireless networking functionality as well as the built in card reader. Overall I would expect the O!Play Air to be very successful simply based on how popular the original O!Play was. - Razer Abyssus Optical Gaming Mouse Unboxing & First Look
E127Razer Abyssus Optical Gaming Mouse Unboxing & First LookThe Abyssus is one of a couple of new Razer mice that I will be unboxing. It's an ambidextrous mouse with a focus on "no-nonsense" performance oriented design without frills & gimmicks. - BlueAnt S1 Visor Mounted Handsfree Bluetooth Car Kit Unboxing & First Look
E128BlueAnt S1 Visor Mounted Handsfree Bluetooth Car Kit Unboxing & First LookToday I have a quick look at the BlueAnt S1, which is a very popular handsfree car kit right now. With the laws changing here in Vancouver about driving with a cell phone, these are becoming very popular very fast. - ASUS Crosshair III Formula AM3 DDR3 790FX Crossfire Motherboard Unboxing & First Look
E130ASUS Crosshair III Formula AM3 DDR3 790FX Crossfire Motherboard Unboxing & First LookToday I'm having a quick look at the Crosshair III Formula, which is arguably the most "premium" AM3 board out there since it's the top of the range "Republic of Gamers" board from ASUS. - Corsair Flash Voyager USB Thumb Drive Unboxing & First Look
E131Corsair Flash Voyager USB Thumb Drive Unboxing & First LookToday I do a quick unboxing of the Corsair Flash Voyager USB thumb drive. It falls somewhere in the middle of the pack in terms of read and write speeds, but the main marketing bullet point is that it's extremely rugged and durable. Obviously it's not quite as indestructible as the Survivor but it still holds its own. - Noctua NH-P14 FLX 140mm Silent Computer Cooling Fan Unboxing & First Look
E133Noctua NH-P14 FLX 140mm Silent Computer Cooling Fan Unboxing & First LookThis fan is silent AND deadly. It's a 140mm fan that fits into a 120mm mounting spot. That means that you get to spin at even lower RPM than traditional 120mm fans, move a ton of air, and you don't have to get a new case that supports 140mm fans! - Razer Imperator High Performance Ergonomic Laser Gaming Mouse Unboxing & First Look
E134Razer Imperator High Performance Ergonomic Laser Gaming Mouse Unboxing & First LookToday I have a look at a bit of an unusual product from Razer. Normally they go for more of a claw-grip style of mouse with an ambidextrous design, but we're seeing a bit more of a deviation from that tried and true formula with products like the Mamba and now the Imperator. This is a palm style, right handed ergonomic mouse that feels very comfortable even when compared to the Ikari Laser (imo the king of ergo mice) - ASUS Crosslink File & Drive Sharing USB Cable Unboxing & First Look
E135ASUS Crosslink File & Drive Sharing USB Cable Unboxing & First LookThis product comes along at kinda a weird time given that it works based on the USB 2.0 standard rather than the newer, faster, better USB 3.0 standard, but that doesn't make it any less interesting. I've always found it very frustrating that you can't simply plug your laptop into your desktop via USB and just drag and drop files between them, but now you can! You can also share an optical drive which could be a HUGE boon for netbook users who only use an optical drive to install software once in a blue moon. - Gigabyte 790FXTA-UD5 Premium AM3 Crossfire DDR3 Motherboard Unboxing & First Look
E136Gigabyte 790FXTA-UD5 Premium AM3 Crossfire DDR3 Motherboard Unboxing & First LookHere it is! As requested, I've finally started unboxing some of the new AMD boards that feature USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s. This is Gigabyte's flagship AM3 board right now and it comes with all of the bells and whistles. Sorry the video is a bit long, but there's a lot to cover. - ASUS P7P55D-E Deluxe P55 Core i5 Motherboard Unboxing & First Look
