With support for long graphics cards, tower coolers, and even watercooling radiators, Prodigy offers unparalleled flexibility in a compact Mini-ITX form factor.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>&quot;The wave of enthusiast class mini-ITX motherboards is upon us, and with Prodigy, users finally have a case to match,&quot; </b>says BitFenix Product Manager David Jarlestedt. <b>&quot;No longer will users have to choose between compact size and blazing performance.

These handles, coated in our <b>SofTouch™ Surface Treatment</b>, are not only a convenient way to carry Prodigy, but are also an extra level of shock protection during transport. <b>Two SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports</b> are provided on the outside for fast file transfers, while the <b>brushed aluminum BitFenix logo</b> on the front ties the entire design together. Available in <b>Midnight Black or Arctic White</b>, Prodigy is not just a PC case, but a work of art.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br> </div><a href="http://www.virtual-hideout.com/2012/05/bitfenix-introduces-prodigy-first.html#more">Continue Reading ...</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1861398549216211011-8474952066566293803?l=www.virtual-hideout.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Virtual-hideout-PcHardwareMobileTechnologyNewsReviews/~4/9LZju35QAvg" height="1" width="1"/>David McCabehttps://profiles.google.com/110935884954276630442noreply@blogger.com0http://www.virtual-hideout.com/2012/05/bitfenix-introduces-prodigy-first.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861398549216211011.post-38092276658464299002012-05-24T14:14:00.000-04:002012-05-24T14:14:44.131-04:002012-05-24T14:14:44.131-04:00 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/jYs4kGhsHcs7YddItKfsfx_H-mA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/jYs4kGhsHcs7YddItKfsfx_H-mA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/jYs4kGhsHcs7YddItKfsfx_H-mA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/jYs4kGhsHcs7YddItKfsfx_H-mA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WRTxe0XkX0w/T7558RC7B-I/AAAAAAAAG68/wGJf4Zw6C8A/s1600/Sharkoon+Nightwriter_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WRTxe0XkX0w/T7558RC7B-I/AAAAAAAAG68/wGJf4Zw6C8A/s320/Sharkoon+Nightwriter_02.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="MsoPlainText"> Sharkoon releases its CeBIT introduced Nightwriter gaming keyboard into the market.

Afterwards, when the user opens the application, and disarms the phone using a unique gesture, a screen with all captured intruders will be presented. For each intruder the user will see when and where it occurred, and the pictures of the intruder. Taping on one of the intruders pictures will present a screen with the intruder&#39;s photo gallery (up to 5 pictures) and information about the event.</span></div> <div class="MsoPlainText"> <br></div> <div class="MsoPlainText"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br> </div><a href="http://www.virtual-hideout.com/2012/05/who-touched-my-phone-for-iphone.html#more">Continue Reading ...</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1861398549216211011-3454705880827656416?l=www.virtual-hideout.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Virtual-hideout-PcHardwareMobileTechnologyNewsReviews/~4/__vKq3UIfCU" height="1" width="1"/>David McCabehttps://profiles.google.com/110935884954276630442noreply@blogger.com0http://www.virtual-hideout.com/2012/05/who-touched-my-phone-for-iphone.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861398549216211011.post-63039011751215578162012-05-21T13:18:00.001-04:002012-05-21T13:18:23.129-04:002012-05-21T13:18:23.129-04:00 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/i0XVNz81AIBBkc0qj_L-bpLWfI4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/i0XVNz81AIBBkc0qj_L-bpLWfI4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/i0XVNz81AIBBkc0qj_L-bpLWfI4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/i0XVNz81AIBBkc0qj_L-bpLWfI4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4XMyqGkv8II/T7p2eNtmvmI/AAAAAAAAG6Q/_pc5JwQcdxs/s1600/Thrio310_frontopen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4XMyqGkv8II/T7p2eNtmvmI/AAAAAAAAG6Q/_pc5JwQcdxs/s320/Thrio310_frontopen.jpg" width="223"></a></div> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>The Nexus Thrio 310 case</b> is your choice for a silent computer.

That new compact CPU cooler is the GeminII M4 – a GeminII series cooler. </span></span><br> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="text-align: -webkit-left;"></span><br> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-left;"></span><b style="text-align: -webkit-left;">Redesigning Compact CPU Coolers</b></span><br> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="text-align: -webkit-left;"></span><br> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-left;">Redefining cooling performance for space restricted environments, GeminII M4 is engineered to maximize cooling with its minimal CPU contact gaps and four extremely efficient direct contact heat pipes that provide excellent heat dissipation. Standing at a mere 59mm / 2.3in tall, it is uniquely suited to thrive in the small spaces afforded to CPU coolers in HTPCs and other slim systems. This small size is accomplished by developing a new smaller 120mm fan that is only 15mm thick as opposed to ones that are traditionally 25mm. This newly developed fan not only provides the benefit of a 10mm shorter height, it maintains high airflow - providing up to 58.4CFM when set on high speed. </span></span><br> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="text-align: -webkit-left;"></span><br> <span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: -webkit-left;"></span><br> <a href="http://www.virtual-hideout.com/2012/05/cooler-master-announces-geminii-m4-cpu.html#more">Continue Reading ...</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1861398549216211011-7041622990147631196?l=www.virtual-hideout.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Virtual-hideout-PcHardwareMobileTechnologyNewsReviews/~4/KkwEwIBETEM" height="1" width="1"/>David McCabehttps://profiles.google.com/110935884954276630442noreply@blogger.com0http://www.virtual-hideout.com/2012/05/cooler-master-announces-geminii-m4-cpu.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861398549216211011.post-34209761496005694672012-05-14T20:09:00.001-04:002012-05-14T20:09:32.401-04:002012-05-14T20:09:32.401-04:00 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/AAQzgu4kIjK-nG3bCPCkEVt1rOQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/AAQzgu4kIjK-nG3bCPCkEVt1rOQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/AAQzgu4kIjK-nG3bCPCkEVt1rOQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/AAQzgu4kIjK-nG3bCPCkEVt1rOQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><br> <center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ba7k1R9Aues" width="640"></iframe></center><center><br></center> <center style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">NZXT constantly pursues innovative ways</span></strong><span style="font-family: inherit;"> to manufacture the best cases possible in the market.

In addition to the pre-installed front fan in both models, two 120 mm fans can be mounted on the side panel plus an 80 or 120 mm fan in the backside and a 120 or 140 mm fan in the tower?s lid. </span></div> <a href="http://www.virtual-hideout.com/2012/05/sharkoon-reissues-nightfall-and-rebel9.html#more">Continue Reading ...</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1861398549216211011-7308817350818772955?l=www.virtual-hideout.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Virtual-hideout-PcHardwareMobileTechnologyNewsReviews/~4/5GgN9E3K1jU" height="1" width="1"/>David McCabehttps://profiles.google.com/110935884954276630442noreply@blogger.com0http://www.virtual-hideout.com/2012/05/sharkoon-reissues-nightfall-and-rebel9.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861398549216211011.post-26691891245400213792012-05-07T15:23:00.000-04:002012-05-07T15:23:52.932-04:002012-05-07T15:23:52.932-04:00 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/z4jzxt1MDGCBHO1t5C2NX53RI-E/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/z4jzxt1MDGCBHO1t5C2NX53RI-E/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/z4jzxt1MDGCBHO1t5C2NX53RI-E/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/z4jzxt1MDGCBHO1t5C2NX53RI-E/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PjpAMxmKAY0/T6ggGXDSQ_I/AAAAAAAABmI/WZFGCG1Jbcg/s1600/xbox360_deal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="262" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PjpAMxmKAY0/T6ggGXDSQ_I/AAAAAAAABmI/WZFGCG1Jbcg/s640/xbox360_deal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> Microsoft just popped the cork on the once rumored $99 Xbox 360 Kinect bundle. However the expected catch is intact, you have to sign up for a 2yr Xbox Live contract which is currently $14.99/month. That's $360 extra over the course of 2yrs, but if you were thinking about signing up anyway, it's not a bad deal at all.<br /> <br /> You can get in on the action <a href="http://content.microsoftstore.com/store/xblive2yr-offer/" target="_blank">right here</a> and/or view all the details of the offer <a href="http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Legal/xbox-live-contract-terms" target="_blank">right here</a>.<br /> <br /> *<b style="color: #848589; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px;">Xbox 360 4GB Console with Kinect, now $99.00 with a minimum two year monthly subscription to Xbox LIVE Gold of $14.99 per month. &nbsp;(Taxes and fees additional.)</b><br /> <b style="color: #848589; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px;"><br /></b><br /> <span style="color: #848589; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px;"><b><br /></b></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1861398549216211011-2669189124540021379?l=www.virtual-hideout.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Virtual-hideout-PcHardwareMobileTechnologyNewsReviews/~4/6LxVDdPSGZA" height="1" width="1"/>David McCabehttps://profiles.google.com/110935884954276630442noreply@blogger.com0http://www.virtual-hideout.com/2012/05/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-4gb-kinect.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861398549216211011.post-8238977560429540102012-05-07T14:54:00.002-04:002012-05-07T14:54:49.061-04:002012-05-07T14:54:49.061-04:00 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/MrTUt4j5ApyFLXmxCq84EUANQXg/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/MrTUt4j5ApyFLXmxCq84EUANQXg/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/MrTUt4j5ApyFLXmxCq84EUANQXg/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/MrTUt4j5ApyFLXmxCq84EUANQXg/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aodJuB2UKoE/TpYUX2WVZNI/AAAAAAAABJE/WZm5YfLh1nI/s1600/overview_hero.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="166" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aodJuB2UKoE/TpYUX2WVZNI/AAAAAAAABJE/WZm5YfLh1nI/s640/overview_hero.png" width="640" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Apple today released<b> iOS 5.1.1</b> which includes the improvements and bug fixes, including:</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div> <ul> <li>Improves reliability of using HDR option for photos taken using the Lock Screen shortcut</li> <li>Addresses bugs that could prevent the new iPad from switching between 2G and 3G networks</li> <li>Fixes bugs that affected AirPlay video playback in some circumstances</li> <li>Improved reliability for syncing Safari bookmarks and Reading List</li> <li>Fixes an issue where "Unable to purchase" alert could be displayed after successful purchase</li> </ul> <div> So, if you haven't plugged in your iPhone to a computer lately because you've been living up the PC-Free lifestyle, you should make your way to your local iTunes terminal to get the latest <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/ios/" target="_blank">iOS</a> update.
