Buffalo TeraStation WSS Review
Business Computing World published a review of Buffalo's TeraStation WSS

The TeraStation is far from being the cheapest way to add up to 4TB of storage space to a network, but it's built for business with business features. As a result it's a solid NAS for dedicated file and print server duties. Based on Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 Express Edition, it integrates effortlessly with existing Windows infrastructures and supports heterogeneous file serving as well as backup and replication of stored data. The TeraStation WSS is also a good solution for consolidating multiple file servers into a single solution that enables cost reduction and policy-based management of storage resources. The only real criticisms are price and build quality.

ATI Radeon HD 5500 Series GDDR5 Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the ATI Radeon HD 5500 Series GDDR5

A few weeks back, AMD quietly released a couple of new graphics cards in the Radeon HD 5500 series. For a while there, starting with the Radeon HD 5870 in late September of last year, it seemed like AMD was releasing a new series of graphics cards aimed at different price points, practically every few weeks. Things slowed down a bit once the company had a complete top-to-bottom line-up of DX11 and Eyefinity capable cards from prices ranging from about $49 to $600, but obviously AMD wasn't quite done beefing up the Radeon HD 5000 series.

The recently released Radeon HD 5500 series cards differed from their predecessors in only one meaningful way-they were equipped with GDDR5 memory. The original 5500 series cards sported GDDR3 or GDDR2 memory. The move to GDDR5 allowed AMD to crank the memory clock speed up a bit, which would have a positive impact on overall performance...

BitFenix Colossus Full Tower PC Case Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the BitFenix Colossus Full Tower PC Case

Today we look at the first offering from a new company named BitFenix. Today we will be looking at their flagship case called Colossus. So join us as we look at what BitFenix is offering up to the enthusiast community and if their case can live up to the big name of Colossus.

Being a pre-production first offering from a new company, I was impressed with the Colossus and BitFenix. The Colossus's design and build is nice, solid, and laid out well. I really like the SofTouch coating; it has a very different look and feel to it. Normally LED lighting is not my thing, but the Colossus has an interesting look to it, almost TRON like. The ability to shut the lighting off is a massive plus as sometimes you just don't want extra light in a room, and the Colossus will light up a small room...

Canon PIXMA MG8120 Photo All-in-One Inkjet Printer Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Canon PIXMA MG8120 Photo All-in-One Inkjet Printer

So here we are again with another printer from Canon for review. Last week I had the MG6120 All-in-one, today I have the MG8120 All-in-one photo printer. There’s some slight differences between them like the 8120 is physically taller, it has a larger LCD display and it has the ability to scan negatives and print pictures from them. There’s also a price difference of about $100 between them, but other than that there’s not much more different, both printers offer a very good choice, both are easy to use and both produce excellent results.

Sharkoon X-Tatic Digital Review
OCC has published a review on the Sharkoon X-Tatic Digital

The minor issues I encountered were with the inline control pod and the power connections. During use I found the digital volume control on the control pod to be slightly clunky. The power connections simply got in the way and I was limited by the distance between the SCU and the headphones, because both were run from the same power adapter. A better solution would have been to run the power through the multi-pin headphone connector, allowing for the use of the full length of the headphone cable.

Cooler Master USNA95 Ultra Slim Notebook Power Adapter Review
OCC has published a review on the Cooler Master USNA95 Ultra Slim Notebook Power Adapter

Overall, it was a pleasure having only one charger with me. It lightened my everyday load and made charging my devices more efficient than ever. At an MSRP price of $79.95 this power adapter beats the price points for the tremendously over priced OEM replacements and adds more functionality to it as well. For the price, I gave the adapter a rating of 8 because while it is well worth the price, there are other competing adapters in the $50 to $60 range.

PureOverclock published a review of the Mushkin Callisto Deluxe 120GB solid state drive.

Today we're looking at another SandForce SSD, the Mushkin Callisto Deluxe 120GB. The Callisto Deluxe looks to offer the same killer performance as its competitors, but more importantly it comes with an extremely impressive price tag at only $269. Frankly, we're shocked at such an amazing value.

SilenX EFZ-80HA2 Low Profile Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted SilenX EFZ-80HA2 Low Profile Heatsink Review

Equipped with an 80mm 'SilenX Effizio Series Quiet Fan', the SilenX EFZ-80HA2 heatsink makes for one compact little cooler, a heatsink small enough to use in a Media PC or compact computer enclosure. The heatsink is all but tiny compared to many of today's tower heatsinks, which is good because there aren't that many small CPU coolers to choose from anymore. Most remarkably though, the EFZ-80HA2 uses only two 6mm diameter copper heatpipes!
