Vantec EZ-Swap Mobile IDE Rack Review
Hard Drive caddy's are nothing new but as with more and more items from manufacturers lately, Vantec have added a host of useful extra's to give them the edge above the competition.
"The EZ Swap 102FD doesn't hinder the drive compared to it being directly connected to the IDE interface in the slightest, with speeds remaining the same as without the EZ Swap being used. As the graph shows, temperatures are pretty good and within specifications for such a drive."

Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Review
For some, the Audigy 2 is what the original Audigy should have been, however without trying to underestimate Creative efforts, they are bringing us today a revamped soundcard that is set to raise the bar like the original Live! did, many years ago.
"You will be happy to know that Creative has taken care of the board quality from the ground up, newer and better DACs are used to ensure 24-Bit/96-kHz/192kHz playback and among the rest of niceties the card offers you have DVD-Audio playback, full 6.1 surround sound, THX certification and the mandatory (for a Creative soundcard) EAX Advanced HD."
