The packaging bundle is not anything to boast about as it does not even bundle a manual nor a carry case which are absolute necessities. But you can find the software manual on the hard disk.The outer surface is shiny glossy black but develops fingerprints and scratches easily.

Sony Cybershot DSC-T200

Sony Cybershot DSC-T200Digital cameras have been getting better and better over the past few years. I remember a couple of years ago getting my first digital camera.

The Sony Cybershot DSC-T200 is a very sleek camera. It features a large 3.5″ LCD screen, 8.1MP imaging, a Carl Zeiss 5x optical zoom lens, and special features like Face Detection and Smile Shutter mode. It definitely fits a lot in considering its small size.

Cooler Master Stacker 830

Cooling Master Stacker 830On of the biggest decisions when it comes to making your own computer is deciding which case is right for you. There are so many choices to make that it can be a daunting task: should you have a full-tower, a mid-tower, a case with a clear side, and so on and so forth. Hopefully this review will make that decision just a little easier.

When it comes to computer cases Cooler Master is near the top. They produce great products that look cool and perform well. For this review I’m going to look at the Cooler Master Stacker 830. The 830, in my opinion, is one of the greatest computer cases ever made. It provides excellent cooling (five 120mm fans), cool led lights and enough room to store anything you’ve ever wanted in your computer (you could probably fit your energy drinks).

The great thing about this case is that Cooler Master includes a 1000W power supply so you can run those extra graphics cards or the multiple hard drives.

Here are a few of the technical specifications for the Stacker 830:

  • Street Price: around $300
  • 5 120mm case fans
  • 250mm(W) x 536mm(H) x 638mm(D)
  • Supports E-ATX, ATX, m-ATX, BTX, m-BTX
  • nine 5.25″ drives and four 3.5″
  • Real Power Pro 1000W PSU
