Review - Antec Veris A/V Cooler
I love it when a large box arrives at the door, and I know its another cool product to review, the latest one I received was the Antec Veris A/V Cooler.
If you have a lot of HiFi or AV Equipment, then you probably know how hot it can get, when it is all stacked on top of each other.
The Antec Veris A/V Cooler is designed to sit in between your HiFi or Home Cinema components and keep everything nice and cool.
I have to admit it looks pretty good in between my HiFi set up, the top is made from aluminum so it looks pretty stylish, it is also thin and lightweight, measuring about 1.8 inches tall.
As you can see from the photos, there are two large fans underneath the unit, which are surprisingly quiet. These large fans draw the heat from the unit sitting on top of the Veris and direct the hot air out of the back of the unit.
There are two settings for the fans low and high, on the low setting the fans run at around 1200 rpm and you can hardly hear anything, on the higher setting the fans run at around 1600rpm, the sound on this setting is slightly more noticeable but not noticeable enough to distract you from you HiFi.
Overall the Antec Veris A/V cooler is a good solution to keep your expensive HiFi or Home Entertainment kit nice and cool and for the retail price of $89.99 its pretty reasonable.

Review - Swann USB 2.0 DVR Guardian
I love it when I get gadgets in the post to review, last week I received the Swann USB 2.0 DVR Guardian.
The USB 2.0 DVR Guardian is a video capture device that hooks up to your PC or laptop, it has four composite video inputs, which allows you to run up to four different cameras at once, ideal if you want to protect your home without shelling out a lot of cash.
It comes with software which manages the unit and the cameras, and the software is pretty good with a lot of features which lets you adjust the settings like brightness and contrast on each individual camera, you can also watch all four cameras simultaneously.
You can choose where you want your video to be recorded so if you have a NAS attached to your PC you can save it there. The coolest thing about the DVR Guardian is the motion detection feature which can be set up on one for all of the cameras, you can also set up a recording schedule of when you want the cameras to record.
The best feature on the DVR Guardian has to be the remote function, all you need to do is check a few setting on teh software and your PC is an instant video streaming server. I tried this feature out and checked it from work and I have to admit it is pretty impressive, I was able to log in from the Internet and see what was going on around my home via the live feed and you can also watch recorded footage as well, this could be a particularly useful feature if you travel abroad a lot and want to keep an eye on things.
Overall the Swann USB 2.0 DVR Guardian is a great solution to home security, and at £89.99 you cant really go wrong, add a few cameras and you have yourself a cheap but very extensive home surveillance setup.

LED Shower Light
Here’s a fun gadget to brighten up your mornings, the LED shower light.
The LED Shower Light is a brilliant idea. It installs to a standard shower pipe in mere minutes. When you turn the shower on, the water powers a turbine and the LED Shower Light…well, lights up! Blue let’s you know the water is chilly. When the water warms up to 89° F (32° C), the light changes to red. Now you can step in and not freeze your giblets off. And you don’t even need to turn on the light now, because your whole shower glows.
The LED shower light is available to buy online for $39.99 from Think Geek.

Review - LG GGW-H20L Blu-ray rewriter
I thought it was about time to upgrade the optical drive in my PC to a Blu-ray one, so after a little research and a bit of reading I ordered myself an LG GGW-H20L Blu-ray rewriter.
In the box came the Blu-ray drive, which also features a HD DVD-Rom so you can play back you HD Dvd’s as well, a SATA cable, and a software disk which features PowerDVD, Power Producer, Power2Go with Lightscribe, BD adviser and Power Backup, not a bad set of software.
I have to admit, overall I am quite impressed with this drive, after a few tests burning a few DVD’s and CD’s it performed really well, and it is great for playing back Blu-Ray movies.
The price isn’t too bad either, the cheapest I could find online was just under £165 delivered.
