    If Corsair is willing to stump up flash drives I think it's only fair that Nick gets out the family jewels and lays them on the line - literally

    I can see Chris getting more and more stressed out as these tests progress

    I would have suggested to him that he straps a pendrive to football and have his beloved Man City kick it about, but they'd miss it

    Well, I'm not too sure what Corsair are saying here...



    Perhaps they think our testing is going to be extreme?

    Maybe, after Chris' experience with that Astra Coupe, they think we'll have even more violent testing in the pipeline?

    Who knows?

    ..either that or 20 episodes of Nick & Co testing these things to destruction

    It's like brainiac for PC users except Nick doesn't bleach his teeth ( or does he? )
