Microsoft & Logitech stuff - Sidewinder, Reclusa etc

At Fuwell, we spotted some interesting Microsoft Products. first up on the line is the Reclusa keyboard, a joint project with Razer, just like the Habu!

Next up on the line is the Microsoft Sidewinder Mouse. The Sidewinder branding was originally used for Microsoft's line of gamepads, which is pretty evident why the Sidewinder Mouse is the latest gaming HID in the Microsoft Gaming hardware series. With customizable weights (just like the Logitech G5 :P ), a LCD display and 2000dpi capabilities incorporated, you might just want to take a look at this mouse for your next HID replacement!

The Wireless Presenter 8000 is a mouse that many PMEBs might want to take a look at; compact enough as a portable mouse and double up as a great tool for presentations.

Microsoft's latest webcam, the LifeCam VX700.

The Logitech G9 mouse with a shell!

At Chamoxa, we spooted the Wireless Laser Mouse 8000, the bigger brother of the Presenter 8000. This comes with a built in Lithium-Ion battery and charges with a snap on dock as seen in the picture below the mouse. Nifty I'd say!

 


Power Supplies & Processors @ Bell Electronics!

Next up, we spotted some budget processors on the loose at Bell Electronics. First up is the LE 1150 Energy Efficient Processor by AMD.

2GHz, 256KB at 45watts. Suggsested Retail Pricing is unknown at the moment but we should be looking at a maximum of SGD$60 for this, tempting eh?

Next up, the Celeron 420 based on the Conroe-L core.

Single Core, 512KB cache which essentially means that this processor is the single core brother of the Pentium DC 2140 Processor. Selling for SGD$8X.

At the same time, it seems that Coolermaster has updated their Extreme Series of PSUs with new iterations, presenting the eXtreme Power Plus 460W and 390W power supplies! I've heard briefly from some sources that the power supplies are OEMed by Acbel, but don't take my word for it! Budget power supplies at a cheap price, so do not expect the power supplies to be sleeved and whats not.

390W ratings

460W ratings


Graphics Cards, Heatsinks and Cases

Cheap 7600GS AGP card available at Chamoxa 6th floor for just SGD$139! Backed by the ASUS 3 years warranty!

Gigabyte 3D Marks Aluminum casing spotted at Bell, at a hefty price tag of SGD$229.

The Coolermaster Hyper 212 heatsink that we reviewed a month back is now available at Fuwell Technologies 5th Floor! Excellent heatsink at this price point!

Next up, we spotted the Sapphire HD 2900 Pro at Cybermind!

Looks just about the same as the HD 2900XT, with the same 512MB of GDDR3 memory, the only differences that we can see is the crippled 256-bit memory bus and clocks at 1600MHz.


Mobile Processors, AOpen Mini PC Duo, Solid State Drives & Storage stuff

We Spotted the revised version of the AOpen miniPC Duo at Storage Studio! Based on the latest GM965 mobile chipset, this tiny monster will be able to accept the latest Merom Socket P processors!

Now, we spotted some pretty normal looking 2.5" hard drives at Storage Studio..... and we flipped them over...

OMGWTFBBQ, FLASH SSD DRIVES!!!!!

32GB renditions available solely at Storage Studio Singapore, 4th Floor, Sim Lim Square.


Linksys NAS Promo & Mainboards - Nvidia Based Intel boards

Linksys Dual SATA Slots NAS going for SGD$199 at Chamoxa.

Nvidia Mainboards at Cybermind! Hey, since when did Nvidia release their own mainboards?
