AXLE GeForce GTX 468 Ace 1 GB Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the AXLE GeForce GTX 468 Ace 1 GB

AXLE's GeForce GTX 460 ACE is the first GTX 460 to come with a triple slot cooling solution, by Arctic Cooling in this case. The card also comes pre-overclocked out of the box which results in a healthy performance boost over the reference design.

Samsung EX1 10-Megapixel Digital Camera Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Samsung EX1 10-Megapixel Digital Camera

When people think of manufacturers who make compact digital cameras, few will probably think of Samsung. Though recently, it seems Samsung has been building more photographic equipment, and been doing a great job of it too. The latest compact digital camera from Samsung to reach the market is the EX1. With its compact metal body, an impressive F1.8-2.4 optical zoom lens capable of 24mm at the wide-angle and an articulated screen, it looks like Samsung is serious about their cameras. There are many features of the Samsung EX1 that was unexpected but highly desirable, the impressive F1.8 aperture capability, their high quality OLED articulated rear display and the ability to capture images in RAW (an uncompressed/lossless file format).

ATI Eyefinity Active DisplayPort Adapter Review
Neoseeker posted a review on the ATI Eyefinity Active DisplayPort Adapter

Interested in Eyefinity but turned off by all the hoops you have to jump through just to get all your monitors hooked up to one ATI card? ATI-oops should we say AMD now- might have a potential solution in the form of a brand new DisplayPort dongle adapter that allows you to directly connect DisplayPort supporting cards to standard DVI monitors through the the cards' DisplayPort/Mini-DisplayPort connectors. It's $100 cheaper than the current DisplayPort adapters, and we investigate to see if that translates into value for potential Eyefinity setups.[/quote6

Genius MaxFire Pandora-Pro USB Mini Gamepad Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Genius MaxFire Pandora-Pro USB Mini Gamepad

Sometimes I find that playing games with a keyboard just does not cut it. Games that require quick action such as platform games or puzzle games don't always work as well using a computer keyboard. Game pads feel much more natural when you are trying to defeat your opponent in a fighting game, or get to the next grueling level on a fast paced puzzle game. There are a variety of game pads, and Benchmark Reviews has tested many of these game pads over the years. Genius has provided Benchmark Reviews the Mini USB Maxfire Pandora Pro. This is a type of game pad that is often overlooked in this segment, a small and portable game pad. With features such as the ability to fold into a small package and turbo buttons, the Pandora Pro promises features from the larger types of game pads, but in a might more portable package. Read the full article on Benchmark Reviews to see if they can deliver.

How Hard Drive Encryption Works
Computing on Demand posted an article: How Hard Drive Encryption Works

It seems that the world is going crazy; everyone wants everyone else's information. Some companies are going to great lengths to protect their data. Laptops have gone missing or stolen with tons of important data on them, copy machines have latent images on the hard drives that can contain vital or important private information on them. So what can be done about all this? Some companies, including my own, have started encrypting hard drives. This is nothing new as types of encryption have been around for thousands of years (ever watch an Indiana Jones movie?), but it seems as soon as something makes the news, the purchasing departments or C level staff finally listens to IT.

Corsair H70 Review
OCC has published a review on the Corsair H70

The good news is that the Corsair H70 is a hell of an improvement over the H50. This is not just a re-skin with a larger radiator. The whole assembly has been rethought in partnership with Asetek to deliver cooling performance on par with and better than most of the high-end after market cooling solutions available today. You get a larger radiator for more cooling "capacity", you get not one but two fans for use in a push-pull configuration and a new pump/waterblock assembly that combine to get within striking distance of the NH-D14.

PowerColor Power Jack Review
PureOverclock posted a review on the PowerColor Power Jack

The PowerColor Power Jack is an interesting little product. The concept is simple: help support heavy graphics cards, especially those with aftermarket heatsinks or water blocks. It's designed not unlike a miniature version of a car jack, except that this lightweight device helps to support heavy graphics cards rather than car engines.

Cooler Master USNA 95: A Powerful and Small Notebook Charger
InsideHW.com has reviewed Cooler Master USNA 95 mobile power supply unit

It was in November last year when we presented SNA 95, the predecessor of the device we’re reviewing today that got fairly good reviews at the time. We first spotted its inheritor at CES in Las Vegas, but the version we saw back then was still in its early development stages, whereas the CEBIT one was already close to the final version, almost identical to the one we have in front of ourselves, and the one that we have had to wait for a bit longer than expected. The heir got an additional character, the letter U, so it’s now called USNA (Ultra Slim Notebook Adapter), but it’s also lost quite a lot - in weight, in dimensions and the handy canal for winding cables…

ARCTIC K381 Multimedia Keyboard Review
Vortez.co.uk posted a review on the ARCTIC K381 Multimedia Keyboard

On June 22nd 2010, ARCTIC entered the input device market with three different products: two mice and a keyboard. The keyboard was named the ARCTIC K381 and it sports a few interesting features.

In addition to its multimedia and office keys, the ARCTIC K381 has an ultra-slim design. The keyboard's thickness ranges from 12 to 20 mm, which is a fraction of the thickness of typical keyboards. Its low-profile keys allow for a very short travel distance that should enhance comfort and typing speed.

Not only it is thin, the keyboard's frame is kept to a minimum in order to make the ARCTIC K381 space efficient. For anyone looking to use desk space wisely, such as students with their textbook-cluttered desks, the ARCTIC K381 keyboard will no doubt be interesting. In the following review, it will be examined whether or not this keyboard is right for you.
