Networking goes 360 with Netgear

We've photographed the latest Netgear range in our 360 photobooth. Give our products a spin to see all the inputs and outputs.

Check out the Netgear 2200M Modem Router Mobile Broadband Edition. This clever piece of tech is a full featured Wireless-N router with Integrated ADSL2+ Modem and a failover or backup option to connect to a 3G+ Mobile Broadband network in case of DSL outage. Internet traffic will be temporarily routed via the secondary Mobile Broadband Internet access. When normal service is restored to your primary ADSL line, all traffic is switched back. A bit brilliant really :)

Backing up and moving data has never been so simple and clean.

The WD My Passport comes in a massive 2TB configuration and is running on USB 3.0. Expect superfast transfer rates to and from the drive.

Worried about who can access your drive? WD has included password protection on their Passport Drives. This ensures no one other than the people you share your password with can view your precious data.

The drive also has a continuous backup feature. WD’s automatic, continuous backup software works quietly in the background to help protect your data using minimal PC resources. Whenever you add or change a file, it’s instantly backed up.

Are you finding a wireless connection is letting you down when you're gaming, whether by range or instability? A powerline adaptor could be answer!

These handy gadgets provide a direct line from your modem, through your houses internal power lines to your device. There are many options out there, and the Netcomm NP203 Powerline is the best one I have seen, here's why:

I use the TP-Link Powerline Adapter Starter Kit myself to bring the internet from my wireless modem upstairs directly to the consoles in the lounge. When I'm playing first person shooters I've found the wireless connection was getting me.. well.. unfairly pwned.

BitFenix Prodigy M release date and more...

Computers

Add a comment By Andy

The tech heads at BitFenix have been working on something incredible!

They have taken the already amazingly popular BitFenix Prodigy and given rig modders even more customisation options!

The same size case can now swallow a Micro-ATX Motherboard!!!

This will allow modders to run Dual Graphics Configurations in their pocket rockets.

There has also been a revamp on how the system can be cooled. Bottom to top or top to bottom air flow is now a breeze (teehee) to configure. And in addition to this, there are now even more options for hard drive mounting.

Our photo monkeys have been busy playing with our 3D imaging setup. Come and have a squiz at some of the latest components in nearly as many angles as you would get to see in a physical store.

Here are a few graphics cards that we gave a spin, the GTX 760 from EVGA. Now watch us get creative with the stabilising of this GTX 660 from Asus with Direct CUII cooling.

Shopping for a new cooler? Have a look at one of the largest air coolers we have had a play with in a long while, the Cooler Master V8. Or if air isn't your thing, check out this Dual Radiator offering from Cooler Master.

Our new line up of Custom Lenovo Laptops have just arrived!

We had our friends at Lenovo help us with three custom configurations that would meet the demands of our busy business customers including the added power of 2GB dedicated Nvidia graphics and a few other cool little tweaks :)

Take a closer look at this i5 Lenovo Thinkpad Edge and you'll find 2GB Nvidia graphics, a touch screen, Windows 7 and 8 options along with super fast gigabit ethernet connection and little things like Bluetooth.

Need even more power? Check out our i7 Edge with added power from an i7 Quad Core 3632QM backed up with the same 2GB Nivida graphics with additional HDD space and RAM.

We know you are busy so we've included two essential accessories with each (you choose which). Let us know in the comments below if there is something else you would like to see as a bundle option.

Our already outstanding Baboon Gorilla Rig is being rewarded with a “little” upgrade thanks to our friends at Asus!
