Just very recently I've build a media PC for my house. With all the pictures and videos of my family I just had to make a massive storage media PC. Parts were easy to get so why not? The only part I forgot was the keyboard. Unfortunately we don't have Kinect type interface just yet so an old fashioned wireless keyboard should do. Everywhere I looked I saw a full size keyboards and nothing small and miniature. Today we are going to take a look at a miniature size wireless keyboard which is designed exactly for media centers and easy access. A big thanks goes to Arctic for providing us with this review unit. Arctic doesn't like to use naming convention for their products so today product code name is K481. Let's spend some time and see what features K481 has.
Portal 2 is the sequal to Valve's unexpected 2007 hit Portal. The first portal was originally only available through a Half-Life 2 bundle - but the game got so much attention that it was eventually released as a standalone product in 2008.
Portal 2 is a first person puzzle-platform game and was released April of 2011 for the PS3, Xbox 360, PC and MAC.
The game is formatted like a first person shooter - however your only weapon - or better yet tool - is a gun the creates portals. It has two triggers - one that shoots out at blue portal and one that shoots out a yellow. If you go through the blue portal you will come out the yellow. A very simple concept that is turned complicated. The game is primarily a single player game but co-op is available through Valve's Network.

There is something about computer cases that attract pretty much everyone. Just the other day I was working on one machine and some one came up to me and asked me what was the case and who made it. Without a doubt a right computer case will turn heads but do we really need it to be "special"? You bet! There is nothing like having a great case at lan parties believe me I know. Once some one sees that special something in the design or construction, they would gather and every one becomes your best friend. Heh yup that's how it is.

Let's take some time and look at every aspect of Cosmos II in detail so we can have a better understanding on what we are dealing with here.

So what makes this hard drive different from all the rest? How about industry first 1TB per disk technology. Seagate was the first to design and implement this technology which in result lowers the cost of manufacturing and ownership of hard drives. Let's take a look at Barracuda Desktop Hard Drive as I am sure it will impress us.
