Bigbruin.com's 6th Birthday Party:

Bigbruin.com turns six years old on April 01, 2009 (this is not an April fools joke). This will be the first in a series of give aways here, and to kick things off the prize up for grabs is a 2048MB Sapphire Radeon HD4850X2 video card that has been updated with a hard to find BIOS for extreme noise reduction.  In order to enter you must be a member of the Bigbruin.com forum and contribute 20 posts between March 30, 2009 and April 30, 2009...  [link]

Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB Hard Drive
Review Image Years ago I never imagined I would “need” a terabyte of storage. Fast forward to today with the explosion of digital media and it is easy to justify such a need. Once you do acquire such a large drive you may worry about reliability, as 1TB of data is a lot to lose. Today we will test the Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB hard drive in terms of speed, reliability, and value. [link]

HornetTek Hover 3.5 Inch SATA USB Enclosure
Review Image The HornetTek Hover 3.5" SATA USB enclosure is a great choice for someone that is looking to increase hard drive space. The active cooling should help to extend the life of your hard drive, and the enclosure itself feels robust enough to survive being placed in a bag and carried from one location to the next. [link]

Argosy HV675 MediaPlay HDMI Media Player
Review Image The design is rather simple but sophisticated, with no indication up front as to what this little box might be used for. Couple this with the fact that all of the connections are hidden out back and that it makes zero noise, you can enjoy your media without being aware of the source (no fan noise, no gaudy lights, etc).
