Read moreStraight from the "Now why didn’t I think of that department" Coolermaster brings us a small form factor case with a twist… They say, "big things come in small packages."

Read moreThe slow year continues for Blu-ray releases. If you feel like something gruesome, Saw VI continues the seemingly neverending storyline. Surrogates with Bruce Willis didn’t get much attention in the theaters, and for a reason, I wasn’t that impressed but there were some nice action sequences.
