We seen this router is capable of achieving near wire speeds on both LAN to WAN and WAN to LAN routing throughput. It's also capable of up to 300,000 simultaneous sessions which is great for users running intensive P2P applications. VPN performance is fairly good for an embedded device. Average performance on file sharing but we feel that two USB ports may not be enough if users would want to connect more devices. Wireless throughput are within the reasonable range. Though better performance could be achieved when used together with the up coming Asus USB-66N wireless adaptor. The three removable antennas allows for easy upgrades. more

This board was definitely the top performer; it is well-built and adds some features the rest don't have. While it is the most expensive it also packs in two extra USB 3.0 and two extra SATA6GB/s ports. It is full size ATX and does support CrossFireX, something the rest of our boards do not support. It has the famous ASUS 8-Phase Digital PWM, running a strong 8 phase VRM. There is one thing that makes this board stand out, and its UEFI. The UEFI is just great, there were no bugs, it looks great, and the overclocking settings are endless. more

With twin GF110 GPUs, the Mars II offers up the power of two proper GeForce GTX580 cards in SLI mode within a single PCB. This card has 1024 CUDA cores, 3GB of GDDR5 memory, and dual 384-bit memory buses. The Mars II also boasts of GPU/shader clock speeds at 782MHz/1564MHz, surpassing a standard-clocked GeForce GTX580 and definitely a lot speedier than each of the GPUs on a factory GeForce GTX 590 design.

With a price tag of US$52, the CineVibe is by no means expensive, as it provides reasonably good sound so long as you aren't looking for audiophile-class performance. Granted, the tight fit could loosen with more use, but we'd recommend that the CineVibe be used pretty much only for gaming, unless bass-heavy tunes happen to be your thing.

This is not the cheapest X79 board by any means, but is one of the most polished and offers great value for money. As long as you're not into extreme overclocking - this is the X79 board to buy if you want great expansion capabilities and long-term computing stability. If you are purchasing such a system today, don't forget to pair it with the much cheaper and almost equally performing 3930K instead of the morbidly expensive 3960X, and spend the extra $$$ on better GPUs and cooling. more

The best motherboard brand in the region is ASUS. Long-time stalwarts MSI and Gigabyte remain in 2nd and 3rd place, without a clear favourite across the region.

The O!Play Mini Plus is a compact HD media player that plays just about all your media content without fuss (provided you stick to wired connectivity). The player is easy to use (with the exception of text input) and plays most popular video formats. It plays full HD 1080p videos stunningly and supports Dolby TrueHD surround sound too. While it doesn't allow for an internal hard drive, it has no lack of other amenities, such as two USB ports (one of which doubles up as an eSATA port) and a multi-card reader.
