Samsung PX2370 LED Monitor Review
Tweaknews posted a review on the Samsung PX2370 LED Monitor

The Samsung SyncMaster PX2370 LED Monitor is definitely small step up from the BX2350 in terms of styling, brightness and contrast. The mystery is that at this given time, they are technically the same price which means there are less people selling the BX2350 and thus, less competition, or Samsung is putting the PX2370 out in higher volumes which will lower the price as well.[/quote6

Arctic Power C1 Mobile Solar Battery and Arctic Sound S111 Portable Speakers Review
MEGATech Reviews posted a review on the Arctic Power C1 Mobile Solar Battery and Arctic Sound S111 Portable Speakers

Yes, sadly, summer has drawn to a close, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't keep the music going. Especially when it comes to notebook computers, the built-in speakers can leave a lot to be desired. Also, what do you do if you want to share your iPod-fueled tunes on the go? One of the more affordable and compelling solutions is to combine the Arctic Sound 2.0 S111 portable speakers for laptops with the Arctic C1 Mobile USB charger with solar panel. In effect, you have a solar powered stereo on the go.

Hardware Canucks posted HD 6870 & HD 6850 vs. GTX 460 1GB: An Overclocking Study.

Razer Lachesis V2 5600 dpi Laser Gaming Mouse Review
Benchmark Review posted a review on the Razer Lachesis V2 5600 dpi Laser Gaming Mouse

Razer debuted the original Lachesis 4000 dpi gaming mouse back in 2007. For its day, the Lachesis was one of the most sensitive mice you could buy, although by today's standards that 4000 dpi mark isn't such a big deal. Razer have updated the Lachesis V2 gaming mouse with a new design and new sensor, the 3.5G laser sensor in this new version supports up to 5600 dpi and the Lachesis has customizable lighting for both the wheel and the logo, which can be set to individual colors dependant on your preference. The Lachesis gaming mouse also features nine programmable buttons with 1000Hz ultrapolling for a 1ms response time. Benchmark Reviews will now put the Razer Lachesis V2 5600 dpi gaming mouse through its paces and report back with our findings for you.

Seagate Constellation ES 2TB 7200 RPM Hard Drive Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the Seagate Constellation ES 2TB 7200 RPM Hard Drive

The Seagate Constellation ES 2TB hard drive was designed to be the best of breed mechanical drive. Seagate Constellation ES 2TB drives are enterprise grade, having a high level of reliability and low power usage. In my professional experience I have found the phrase "enterprise grade" to mean "god tier", and enterprise grade options can cost 1000% more than desktop grade. At $269.99 the Seagate Constellation ES 2TB drives look like a real value. The real question is how much is your data worth?

OCZ Revo 120GB Review
PureOverclock posted a review of the OCZ Revo 120GB PCI-E SSD.

We're looking at another SandForce SSD, but this one is very special as it's essentially two drives in one that feature a RAID 0 configuration. The name of this juggernaut is the OCZ Revo. Think a SandForce SSD is fast? Wait until you see what happens in a single card RAID 0 setup.

MSI N460GTX Hawk Review
OCC has published a review on the MSI N460GTX Hawk

Installing an older version of Afterburner allowed the card to work with NVIDIA's voltage specifications which allowed the core voltage to be increased to almost 1.24v as measured under load. This had the effect of bumping the stable clock speeds on the core from a maximum of 922MHz to 955MHz, a pretty substantial increase for a small voltage bump. If the added voltage options were still available in Afterburner's latest editions, the 1GHz clock speed goals may have had a better chance of being realized.

Arctic Cooling Arctic M551 Gaming Mouse Review
Bigbruin.com has published a review on the Arctic Cooling Arctic M551 Gaming Mouse

The Arctic Cooling Arctic M551 gaming mouse glided over my desk like it was on ice, and I really enjoyed the feeling and shape of the mouse as it fit in my hand. The buttons were all very easily accessible, and at no time did I feel like they were out of place. After I played with the DPI settings and got used to how fast and accurate it made the pointer, I really enjoyed using it.

BitFenix Survivor Review

BitFenix have certainly been busy this last year. Since their inception just 6 months ago they have endeavoured to bring to the community style and functionality. Just 6 months on and they are already launching another fully fledged gaming chassis.

Mionix Naos 3200 Gaming Mouse Review
Top Review Shop posted a review on the Mionix Naos 3200 Gaming Mouse

The Naos 3200 shares a lot of similarities to its big brother, the Naos 5000, but sacrifices a few features in lieu of a friendlier price tag. Our chief complaint with the Naos 5000 was its lofty price tag, so the Naos 3200 sounds like it could hit the sweet spot in terms of value. Read on for our take of this latest gaming mouse from Mionix.

HIS Radeon HD 6870 Turbo 1 GB Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the HIS Radeon HD 6870 Turbo 1 GB graphics card

The HIS Radeon HD 6870 Turbo is a factory overclocked variant of the HD 6870 that builds heavily on the AMD reference design. This means that PCB, components and cooler are unchanged from the original AMD card - which is a good thing. The increased clock speeds give the card a 4% performance advantage.

ASRock ION3D (152B with Bluray) Review featuring Cyberlink
KitGuru posted a review on the ASRock ION3D

Defining a ‘media PC’ is a difficult proposition, everyone has a different view on what makes a perfect HTPC computer. Some users will aim for high performance components in a large chassis while others will opt for the smallest possible physical footprint with virtual silence.

Today’s review of the ASRock ION3D computer falls firmly into the latter category as it features a low power Intel Atom D525 processor with nVidia graphics.[/quote6

Lian Li PC-V354 Review
XSReviews have a new review of the Lian Li PC-V354

Rosewill Armor Mid Tower PC Case Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Rosewill Armor Mid Tower PC Case

Do you want your next computer to stand out from the crowd? The ARMOR ATX Mid Tower case from Rosewill could do the trick. Sporting an all black color scheme inside and out, a total of six fans and literally a surface that is 80% mesh, The Rosewill Armor was built with cooling in mind. Read on to see if this could be the case for you.

The Rosewill Armor is a very nice case, in my opinion. I honestly thought a case that's 80% mesh might be a tad flimsy, but that wasn't the story here. It was pretty sturdy and the craftsmanship is top quality, too. While a case of this size may not house the biggest and baddest hardware, it can house a good amount of products out there. It's got a great look with some great features that will put it up against the likes of the Cooler Master HAF 922...
