Eizo Foris FS2331

So I thought that it's time for some tech reviews instead of the typical games. I have an idea I want to do and that is to play through a game while I update throughout the entire game.

But the tech of the day is the LCD HD screen Eizo Foris FS2331, Eizo is a well-known company that manufacturers screens for offices. They are pretty new to this type of screens, but this screen is really good for the price it got. I bought it for around 200€ I think it was less but that doesn't matter, the screen is 23" HD screen with plenty of features but the screen also lacks some things.

The good thing with the screen is the way you adjust the screen, you get a remote with the screen and with this remote you adjust everything. You can have different users for different types of usage of the screen, I think this unlocks many features since I use this screen for my ps3 too because this screen is made for gaming while my TV is not made for gaming. It got a headphone jack and it got a couple of HDMI jacks (2 of them to be precise) and one DVI. Thanks to the headphone jack I can use the HDMI audio from my ps3 and use my stereo with line in from the screen. The speakers on the screen is really worthless it's like playing something inside of a can, but thanks to the headphone jack you can use other speakers with line in.

Some negative things is the lack of making the screen change the angle you can only tilt some degrees up and down. You can not make the screen go up or down which I do not find annoying since my other screens have been exactly the same. The lack of USB hub inside the screen is also lacking but since my pc case got USB ports on the front I can easily use it that way. But if they added some ergonomics and the USB ports on the screen it would be more optimal.

But I have not noticed anything bad with this screen in games or while viewing pictures so it's really good screen for the price tag it got. I will post a review on my speakers, keyboard, mouse and headset tomorrow. Perhaps not all of them at the same time.

But this is a really good screen and I am really happy that I bought this instead of all the other screens I have been checking out.

Kingdom Hearts

So I just happened to stumble upon some remixes from Dearly Beloved which is the song that they use in the menu of Kingdom Hearts. I realized that they should have done the Kingdom Hearts series for the PC or made a newer retail version to the PS3 since this is the best game some have ever created probably.

So if you haven't played this game series you should take some of your time to play this game 'cause it's just a brilliant game.

Pretty Lights

Since one of my favourite interests is to ride snowboard I thought that I would give some good music that I listen to while playing. I really enjoy the old electronic groups like Daft Punk, faithless, fatboy slim and so on.

Pretty Lights is an electronic artist sure he got many more genres that he uses. I really enjoy his music and you know what it's free too. If you want some new music to listen to while playing games I really recommend his music.

Renegade X: Black Dawn

So this is a free game so far it's supposed to be a tactical first person shooter with both singleplayer and multiplayer. The game is made with the unreal engine so it looks kinda sweet, I only played for like 30 minutes but the idea is really cool and if you want something to do on your spare time I would recommend this.

The game starts with you infiltrating a island, infiltrating is probably the wrong word you are doing a frontal assault rather on an island. It's really good looking for being a free to play game, everything looks good except the enemy soldiers but hey what did you expect? It's a free to play game, but one game I want closed beta access to is Warface and I hope that I get it soon because it looks really sweet.

Tune Up Your Computer

Razer's Game Booster is a program that closes unnecessary usage of RAM and CPU which could make your computer perform a little bit better in games. This have worked for me for example on assault in Counter Strike Global Offensive I have a much more stable frames per second (FPS) than I had before using Game Booster.

So if you want to try it out! here is the link: Game Booster

Playstaion 4

So this last week they announced Playstation 4 which is really cool I have been longing to see this announcement. I do not support any of the consoles just for your information I do not like the fan war that exists. All the consoles got both pros and cons the reason why I have chosen to go with the playstation is 'cause I have been playing playstation since they released the first one. I even got the first one right next to me now, but the hardware that Sony chose to put in to the playstation 4 is something I wont go into detail since it's a lot of different things. It's like the playstation 3 only that it's upgraded with new and better hardware. I think that they have reached some sort of peak now though, I do not know how much you can get from the consoles before they start tearing fps or starts to lagg. Battlefield 3 is really good looking on the consoles but you can experience some lagg in it.

Something I really want to see again is the function to play older games on the playstation since you couldn't play Playstation 2 games in the playstation 3. They have not released so much about the components or the actual style that the playstation 4 will have. They have released a full prototype of the ps4 controller though, nothing new there the same old playstation controller with some tweaks. Picture below:

The controller will get a touch pad which is really cool and there will be some sort of a camera thing that will see the controllers movements or something like that. I didn't really catch up on that, but something I really think will be annoying is the "share" button. If you play and you press that button my mistake you will probably get something in the middle of the screen. Hopefully they will have it so you press it down for 3 seconds before anything happens. Overall I really like the new controller, even though it isn't so new.

The console that waits the longest before release will probably have the better hardware and is better optimized. Just look at when xbox360 got released and the red ring of death existed, microsoft lost so much money on this. Playstation 3 were really expensive at the release but is now at the same price of the xbox360 and sony offers you free online gametime. I like both consoles I do not despise anyone of them. The annoying thing with xbox360 it sounds like a jet plane motor when you start it but I enjoy playing both consoles and the graphics are so similar so I do not even know why they have the lens of truth youtube user. This channel just makes all the fan boys go rampage on each others, when someone asks me something like "what console to pick" I always tell them to get the console the friends you want to play with got. If you want the exclusive games then buy both consoles, but since it's worthless to play alone I always tell them to pick the console your friends are using.

This is a fan page made by some fan boys that really likes playstation 4 but they got much information here: Playstaion fan page   The Official sony ps4 website: Playstation 4 Sony

Like I said before I do not support any console more than the other.

Corsair Carbide Series 200R

So this a pc-case for normal computer use it's not a server case, it's a cool and good one for the ones on a budget. It's really easy to install all the hardware in the chassis, lot of room and you can pull the cables on the back of the chassis so they it looks better inside. It also supports watercooling and it's really nice looking.

The first impression that I got from this is that you can easily screw the hardware to place and it's really easy to keep it clean from dust inside. There is a lot of room for you cables which is always good if you want to pull the cables behind the hardware you need long cables from your power supply. You also get two USB 3.0 on the front of the chassis and there is also microphone and headphone jacks in the front. Got a seperate SSD holder and there is room for four 3.5 HDD so you get a lot of room in this box which is really good and all the hardware is really easy to put to place.

You get two fans with this chassi one in the rear and one in the front, I assume this is good I have no clue actually. There are foor places on the chassis that supports external fans so the pc-case is not isolated at all. I have not noticed this produces more sound than my last chassis but I think it's a lot quiter.

This is a cheap and really good pc-case I would recommend it to everyone who are looking for a new case for their computer components.

Sorry for the english, I have not been writing anything in english for a while but will start making reviews again now! Both games and computer related products.
