After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain.  I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain.  If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration. 

Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

  • SilverStone Sugo SG04 Case Review

    Published: Monday, December 29, 2008 - Cases SilverStone Sugo SG04 Case Review

    The smaller form factor has often been overlooked by many motherboard makers because it yielded a low return on investment but as we see the hardware segment evolve we will begin to see more case designs to support the new platform. In a way the SUGO SG04 will be the benchmark for all to follow.

    Published: Sunday, December 7, 2008 - Motherboards DFI LanParty Jr 790GX Motherboard Review

    In this review we will be looking at the new MicroATX motherboard from DFI called the LanParty Jr 790GX-M2RS. This motherboard is a perfect blend between the enthusiast power we have come to expect from DFI and the practicality found in the smaller MicroATX hardware offerings.

  • Silverstone FP35 Bay Card Reader Review

    Published: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 - Storage Silverstone FP35 Bay Card Reader Review

    This card reader is feature rich in that it has something that not many other card readers have, 12v/5v output for external storage along with the many other features, it is easy to use because there are no drivers, and it comes with a very clear and effective instruction guide, it is very fast, and is not too expensive, though most card readers can be had for $10+ cheaper. This is a stellar product.

  • Sunbeamtech Core-Contact Freezer Heatsink Review

    Published: Monday, October 27, 2008 - Cooling Sunbeamtech Core-Contact Freezer Heatsink Review

    Sunbeamtech has given us an opportunity to see the evolution in action with the Core-Contact Freezer heatsink. This new design removes the plate that separates the heat pipes from the processor so now the heat pipes have direct contact with the processor. Is this a more effective way to cool these new multi-core processors? We will be testing this to find out.

  • Thermaltake V9 Case Review

    Published: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - Cases Thermaltake V9 Case Review

    Working with the Thermaltake V9 has been an experience in getting used to a smaller case again. The size is just right for a budget minded person. It will allow for a Full ATX motherboard with lots of room for a taller heatsink. Then factor in the ability to use a SLI or Crossfire setup and knowing you are covered in the cooling area.

    Published: Sunday, October 12, 2008 - Storage QNAP TS-509 Pro Turbo NAS Review

    When it comes to a cool feature packed Network Attached Storage device you'll be hard pressed to find anything more versatile than the TS-509 Pro Turbo NAS. It comes with a whole laundry list of features specific to the task of serving up files but also for serving up other things like web applications, multimedia content, dynamic database content and even downloading files over BitTorrent.
