I thought so too. But the vantec ones are quiet and efective... I think I'm gonna buy a Sondigo Sirocco, not very cheap but my room is flooded with cables so I guess It wouldn't be bad to have such a device :)

Then you need at least a dual core cpu to get full frame rates, and some 3rd party software such as dvbsource. I would personally never by a kworld product though due to slow download of drivers and poor support.
I found this week's lineup to be a bit poor. I know it's not really up to you @ BTHQ, nonetheless.
A bit dissapointing, we were used to better things !
The only really promising thing of the desk this week is the Sondigo Sound Bridge and the others, such as the Jet Art video card cooler are good products but not the best and not inovative, why get this when you can get an Artic Cooler... And the Kworld DVB-T is just another mini tuner and they have never been that good and it does'nt shine...
hiya, that charger type device that runs on 4x AAs looks promising. Is there an easy way to get one of those to the UK? this would be ace for my iPod and PSP.
One thing I noticed that I think you should have mentioned was in the picture of the Soundbridge.
The little american plug thing (like a short wire extender) is a gread idea, as it moves the big power brick off the socket, leaving room for other plugs. Tis a bit odd that it was included with an english plug, but a nice idea.
I like that iPod Nano charger (would be nice for my 22 hour flight to australia next week) but it doesn't work with the 80% of Nanos that have cases on them. It would be more effective if it wasn't so "encasing" around the iPod.
Would be nice to see some actual numbers from the GPU coolers, like how they compare to the AC stuff. The soundbridge looks perfect for me, I need exactly what it provides. I'm definately looking into that one.

Whats going on?
It's not a full review, it's an "on our desk."
Basically, this is all the little stuff that doesn't warrant a full review...each of us gets a little bit of random clutter for things that we were never intending to do a review on, but sometimes they're a little bit unusual and warrant at least a little mention. We're throwing this one out there for you because it's tiny and it works, to let you know it's out there...there's not much else to say!
