NZXT is a manufacturer of computer components that is most likely best known for their innovative computer cases. We have reviewed a handful of them here at Bigbruin.com, and they never fail to impress.
While cases may be their bread and butter, they do offer a variety of other items, including power supplies, mice, coolers, and fan controllers. This review is going to take a look at something they call the Sentry LX; a serious fan controller that occupies two 5.25 inch drive bays while providing control and feedback for up to five fan speeds and temperatures in a computer case.

Kindle 2 gets the Colorware treatment, prepares to burn some retinas
We know that the only reason you're holding out on buying a Kindle 2 is your aversion to that sterile plastic shell. Well, you're in luck, aesthete... 'cos the folks at Colorware will happily sell you a model that lives out loud for a song (and $599, baseline). Or you can send in your own e-reader, in which case a cool $199 will get you the paint job you deserve. It will be 2-3 weeks before you get your device back in your hot hands, but when you do you'll be ready to read The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby in pop art style. Hit that read link to get started.

Monitor Audio Airstream 10 WiFi radio gets the hands on treatment
While Monitor Audio's new Airstream 10 WiFi / DAB radio unfortunately isn't a radio inspired by a vintage Airstream trailer, it is nonetheless pretty eye catching in its own right, and fairly full featured as far as WiFi radios go. Apparently, the radio can either be stood upright or placed on its side, and it'll let you listen to some standard FM or DAB radio, or hop onto a network via WiFi or Ethernet to either stream some tunes off your Mac or PC or tune into some internet radio stations. What's more, while Stuff.tv is apparently reserving final judgment for its full review, it does say that the sound quality doesn't disappoint, and it packs the usual 3.5mm jack to round out its options. Still no word on a DAB-less version for these parts, sadly, but those in the UK should be able to pick this one up starting in June.

Lenovo gets official with mildly refreshed IdeaPad S10-2 netbook
Lenovo's S10 has walked a long, rough road. First it battled months of delays, then hordes of anxious owners began weeping rivers due to incessant fan noise. Lenovo already made a few attempts to better its cute-as-a-button netbook, but now it's ditching the little-by-little approach entirely and introducing a 'Part II' version. The understandably titled S10-2, which we spotted via a handy user manual just last week, is officially official, and while it's still rocking the same basic specs (1.6GHz Atom N270, 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, WiFi, 1.3 megapixel camera, etc.), there have been a few appreciated tweaks made. There's a new cover design, a larger keyboard, a bigger trackpad and a model with integrated 3G that'll run just $50 more than the standard $349.99 flavors; too bad Lenovo didn't take this opportunity to dish out an entirely new IdeaPad with a CPU that's marginally robust.

Lian Li XB-01 Review
The consoles versus PC wars have been ongoing for longer than most fan boys can remember, but one of the arguments that has almost always been in the PC camp's favour is that their gaming platform of choice can be upgraded however you want. Sure consoles can be modded or tweaked, but it normally takes someone who really knows what they're doing to accomplish either of these feats. Now however, this argument has been turned somewhat on it's head, with Lian Li releasing a custom case for the Xbox 360; and it looks nothing like the original.
Features
- Manufactured by Lian Li
- Reduces the noise of the Xbox 360
- Brushed black aluminium finish
- Supplied with installation instruction
Novatech Ion Fusion - Atom 330 PC Review
As well as being the first to make nVidia's 3D Vision kit available in the UK, Novatech was also one of the first, after Asus, to offer a selection of nettop systems. Here we take a look at its latest, the Ion Fusion.
Sadly, though the name might imply otherwise, Novatech's Atom desktops are not based around nVidia's revolutionary Ion platform, which incorporates significantly better graphics than the current alternatives. Instead, these Ions use the good old Intel D945GCLF2D motherboard, based on the less tongue-twisting 945GC Express Chipset. Coincidence or not, it's a less than ideal situation to have a system with a name that infers one thing but delivers another. At least you all now know what you're getting.
