Everyone has troubles with the personal computer hardware from time to time and troubles appear, according to the world wide famous Murphy laws, when we are standing low on budget. When this happens we all can get really angry but I can assure you that these days you do not have any reasons for doing that because of the apparition of the cheap computer hardware on the market. This future scene business is on a never-ending expansion and that is exactly why the producers who manufacture various computer parts have to do their best to continue selling their goods as quick as possible and keeping the money maker job on the right tracks. So considering this situation, the only clever thing to do is to make offers that are reasonable along the whole market.

This way you could find cheap computer hardware by just taking a walk in your neighborhood or, if you are not in the mood for promenade and if you feel cozy and warm sitting in a chair in front of your desk, you should think about surfing the internet on various profiled web pages for offers that may suits your desires and your budget.

When you sign up for searching cheap computer hardware on the Internet, the most important thing you need to do is not to search only on a single web page. Try not to stop on the first virtual shop that you may find interesting in prices or offers and proceed in your search until you find the best there is on the market. If you stick on the first product that meets your requirements you will never know what offers may other manufacturer put on the sales and so you may lose a good opportunity to make some savings regarding your money.

If you seek for cheap computer hardware, make sure you tip the scales well. You should always have in mind that cheap hardware does not mean poor quality hardware. Do not get ripped off by every person who tells you that his product is the best, the fastest and the newest on the market. Maybe you don't need those kinds of components and for sure you do not want to lose all your money on something you eventually do not even know why you buy it.

Another advice for you is to search on the Internet for the product you decide to purchase. Look sharp for anything that you consider may help you into choosing the product you want. If the product presents a lack of specifications, search them on a different web page. A good idea is to consult a forum. There you may find people like you or who are willing to help you in your eventual dilemmas. Read their advices and their problems with the products you may want to purchase.

So if you want to upgrade your personal computer and you do not have the money to buy something new and pricy, consider cheap computer hardware. You'll find plenty on the mighty Internet.

Microsoft SideWinder X8 Gaming Mouse

Published by Bogdan Alex, on September 11th, 2008, in the categories: News
Microsoft has officially reveled their BlueTrack Mouse Technology and, along with it, a new lineup of mice. We already knew about the laptop mice, but we were left guessing whether Microsoft would integrate the new tech into gaming mice right away or they’d have to tweak it and release something later. The answer came quickly, in the form of the new SideWinder X8 gaming mouse.


It’s been debated over and over that wireless mice aren’t that precise as wired ones, but Microsoft wants to settle this once and for all. The SideWinder X8 mouse offers wireless freedom with wired performance with the aid of a 2.4GHz wireless connection that is built for lag-free play. In order to achieve this, SideWinder X8 relies on the innovative play-and-charge system that ensures a nonstop gaming experience — up to 30 hours of active gaming on a single charge — with no need to stop the game to change batteries. The new BlueTrack system enables users to switch from 250 all the way up to 4,000 dpi.


“When conducting our research, we found room for improving on the wireless experience for gamers, especially as it related to perceived delay or lag time of response. The SideWinder X8 Mouse will put those wireless gaming mouse fears to rest,” said Bill Jukes, product marketing manager for Microsoft Hardware. “We designed this mouse to perform to the highest gaming standards — with near-zero latency, uninterrupted gameplay and the world’s most advanced tracking with BlueTrack Technology.”

According to the press release, BlueTrack is world’s most advanced tracking technology, offering image processing capabilities of 13,000 frames per second, 75G maximum acceleration and 120 inches per second maximum speed. All the standard and customization features found in the previous SideWinder mice have been retained.

Unfortunately, the new mouse will only be available worldwide starting February 2009. The X8 will retail for $99.95 and you can go ahead and pre-order it from Amazon.

New Mouse Sensor from Microsoft

Published by Bogdan Alex, on August 30th, 2008, in the categories: News
Microsoft has been teasing us lately with an ad that boldly encourages us to “say Goodbye to Laser.” Not laser sabers, guns, Blu-rays or terahertz beams. No, Microsoft is ready to launch a new type of mouse sensors next month and claims that those laser sensors currently considered the best have nothing on their new technology. The new mouse will officially be launched on September 9.

Since Microsoft is not that good at keeping secrets and most of the time we get to catch a glimpse of their soon-to be-launched products way before the official announcement, Engadget went ahead and came up with some pics and additional info on the new mouse technology. Engadget found something on that German Amazon site, which seems to be allowed to post pictures and info sooner than official sources. It seems that Microsoft preps a new Explorer Mini Mouse for notebooks with "Blue Track" technology.

Apparently, the technology doesn’t use any fancy optics, just a blue LED in combination with a wide-angle lens. Rumor has it that this new combination will alow mice to provide smoother reactions on even more surfaces. The Blue Track stuff should be extended to all the other mice, including the gaming-grade ones.

So LEDs are making a comeback. I was expecting something more sophisticated, but I guess Microsoft knows better and we’ll get to see just how well this new technology performs in the weeks to come.

Creative X-Fi Go!

Published by Bogdan Alex, on August 26th, 2008, in the categories: News
The audio card market is clearly dominated by Creative, but this supremacy doesn’t always seem to prove beneficial to end-users. Sure, there still are Realtek, Terratec and M-Audio, which target specific groups like professional musicians or budget users. However, multimedia and game support has been with Creative ever since Aureal died. Creative seems pretty happy with X-Fi and, because there’s no real threat coming from other companies, no new technologies got previewed as of lately, except for some diversified products based on X-Fi. The latest addition to the X-Fi lineup is the X-Fi Go!

The product is quite ambiguous to say in the least. It integrates 1GB of flash memory which Creative says is meant to be using for storing save games, game profiles and just about anything else. Fudzilla reports that Creative managed to squeeze support for Alchemy, to make it backwards compatible with older games, plus the newer CMSS-3D and EAX Advanced HD. The USB dongle has a headphone and mic connector and it includes all the drivers you need. I’m trying to figure out the actual use for such a device. Maybe it’s meant for people who want quality sounds on their office PCs.

X-Fi Go! Is set to cost S$79, but it will be available only in Singapore for the time being.

Zotac Nitro

Published by Bogdan Alex, on August 25th, 2008, in the categories: News
Zotac is known for overclocked video cards (mostly NVIDIA-based) and, although the company is relatively new to the market, it seems it’s selling pretty well. To mark this achievement, Zotac now aims to diversify its product array. So, instead of presenting yet another oc-ed card at the Games Convention this year, Zotac came with a sort of innovative device designed for overclockers.

According to Fudzilla, the Nitro overclocking device allows gamers to overclock their cards in real time, without having to use the infamous al-tab key combination and leave their games. The overclocking procedure is dead simple: you just press one of three keys located at the front of the device. Those three buttons will allow you to overclock the GPU, memory and even the shaders clock.

Zotac Nitro can also act as a hardware monitor, showing the current clocks of the card, its temperature and the fan speed. The product showed at GC ’08 was not finalized. The final version could also include a customizable display screen at the bottom part of the LCD screen.

Apparently, Nitro will be released in October and will work with Zotac’s cards, possibly with other NVIDIA-powered cards. At first, the device is going to sold separately, but Zotac says they could later bundle it with premium graphics packages. Nitro is set to be available for $99.
