The first 1TB or terabyte hard drives were just about ready to hit the market roughly two years ago. And in those two years since, there really hasn't been much development in the way of expanding those capacities any further. Oh sure, more manufacturers have released 1TB drives, and prices have surely fallen steadily, but there are only a handful of drives larger than 1TB. I'm not sure if we've hit a watershed as far as demand for increased capacity goes, or whether the apparent lack of progress indicates a technological hurdle when it comes to going bigger. Perhaps it's a bit of both.

OCZ Behemoth mouse Review
I’ve been accused of having a peripheral fetish, and I’m proud — well, not ashamed, at least — to admit it. From keyboards and mice to headphones and webcams, I tend to experiment a lot and have plenty of backups. Naturally, I jumped at the chance to do another peripheral review for Icrontic, and OCZ has sent us the Behemoth to evaluate. Read on to see our impressions and whether or not it’s worth your dollars.

Arctic RC Memory Cooler Review
RAM module heatspreaders are pretty common place with most quality memory. Heatspreaders allow the memory to reach higher clock speeds and voltages by dissipating the extra heat created by the memory. To reach even higher overclocks, the memory may need to be actively cooled or something like the Arctic Cooling Arctic RC heatspreaders.
Arctic Cooling uses a radical long fin design which allows greater heat dissipation and provides improved airflow around the spreader. According to Arctic Cooling, these heatspreaders allow temperature drops of 34% from conventional heatspreaders.

Display 2009 : 37 and 46” Full HD Multitouch TVs
Far from being new, these 37 and 46” Full HD Multitouch TVs are still pretty impressive to see in action and to play with… Granted a bit sluggish with Google earth, I really hope to see more and more LCDs or TVs capable like these ones

Gateway MD7826u 15.6" Notebook Review
Late last month, Gateway released three brand-new notebook series, all of which have the goal of delivering a quality product for less than $1,000 USD. The MC is their multi-media specific series, which features a large 16" display with edge-to-edge glass, in addition to illuminated buttons on the keyboard. There's also the UC, which happens to be the company's first-ever 13.3" offering. Coming in at 5.2 pounds, the company hopes that given the $799.99 USD SRP, users who love small, yet powerful notebooks, will give it a look.

Galaxy GeForce GTX 285 2GB Tri-Fan Graphics Card Review
It's good to see that not long after the launch of a new high-end product a company has come out and mixed it up a bit. While it's not uncommon for us to see higher end ATI cards make this transition quickly, it seems that NVIDIA partners tend to take longer or sometimes not even bother at all.
Of course, it doesn't help with the obscure PCB design on some of their cards like the GTX 295; fingers crossed that the rumors of a new single PCB dual GPU card is true.

OCZ Vertex 120GB v1.10 MLC SSD Review
When it comes to solid state drives we here at Legit Reviews have been pretty tough critics of them as for the past several years they were clearly not ready for mainstream use. Back in 2006 a 128GB SSD would cost you over $1500, the performance wasn't that great and the failure rate was higher than your typical hard drive. Late last year SSDs were finally starting to look good since the prices came down, but the performance and ease of use was still not where it needed to be. When Intel came out with their SSD series, Legit Reviews was the first publication to point out that performance decreased with typical use. Every controller used in SSDs has pros and cons, but very few companies have released a number of different controllers.

Sharkoon X-Tatic Digital 5.1 Headphones Review
Over the years I have watched 5.1 grow from a new and unfamiliar technology to something now found in most modern homes. Of course, when the technology first came out it was quite expensive and the performance was not fantastic. But now, we are seeing full 5.1 systems selling for under a $100 and every sound card also now offering at least 5.1 channel onboard audio.
