Asus ROG OC Station – On The Fly Overclocking For Gamers

by Jay Garrett on May 25, 2009

rog-oc-stationASUS and the Republic of Gamers have done something pretty neat again – remember the XG Station?

Now they’re doing what they can to bump up its gaming cred a few notches with its Republic of Gamers (ROG) OC Station.

The bay-mounted overclock assistant lets you tweak parameters on the fly – even in the middle of a game and without having to dive into the BIOS.

It comes equipped with a 3 inch LCD display so that you can keep tabs on things or, apparently, showing your pictures in a slideshow.

Now comes the downsides really and I’m not just talking bout ca$h.

You’re also gonna have to give up two 5.25-inch bays to install this chunk of tech.

It also looks like it only works with ROG motherboards…..bit niche then.

Worse thing is – no news on release date or cost.

Sega Megadrive Console Returns To Shops in a ‘Blaze’ of Glory

by Jay Garrett on March 13, 2009

Remember the name?

It’s those folks that shoved a Sega Mega Drive into a handheld with 20 games built-in for £30.

Now the very same company is releasing a slim profile home console to plug into your TV in that old skool Megadrive stylee.

It will have 15 games built-in including Altered Beast, Golden Axe and Sonic & Knuckles as well as keeping a cartridge slot – so if you want to buy old Sega Mega Drive games off eBay, or have kept some in the back of your cupboard you can breathe life back into them.

The Blaze Sega Mega Drive is even multi-region – this means that you’ll be able to play a Japanese-only cult classic, you can geek out to your hearts content :)

The Blaze Sega Mega Drive console comes with two control pads and will be available starting  April 24th for £40 from HMV
