Lian Li Mini Q PC-V354 MicroATX Case Review
TechSpot posted a review on the Lian Li Mini Q PC-V354 MicroATX Case

Today we are looking at a pintsized HTPC/desktop case that, despite its size, can accommodate some impressive gaming hardware. The Lian Li Mini Q PC-V354 is a bit of an all-rounder, suitable for both compact gaming rigs and home theater PCs.

Although the MicroATX form factor has been around for over a decade, gaming systems utilizing this format have only recently become commonplace because there was little gaming oriented MicroATX hardware. Now that said hardware is available from companies including Asus and DFI, one problem remains: what should you put it in? Many compact cases can't house graphics cards longer than the motherboard, and that limits card lengths to 23-24cm, eliminating most flagship ATI and Nvidia products. Multi-GPU setups are
generally off the table, too.

Putting an end to such restrictions, Lian Li has developed a case to complement new high-end mATX motherboards. Called the Mini Q PC-V354, the company says this little guy supports graphics cards as long as 35cm, making even the mighty Radeon HD 5970 a possibility. In fact, the Mini Q PC-V354 can supposedly house two enthusiast GPUs, which is amazing given the case itself is just 42cm long.

Samsung HW-C450 2.1 Channel Audio Bar Home Theatre System Review
Futurelooks checked out the Samsung HW-C450 2.1 Channel Audio Bar Home Theatre System

Whenever people start thinking about their home theater setups, they usually think of the television first. Sure, visuals mean a lot and that's why it's worthwhile to invest in a good HDTV to go along with your Blu-ray player and wall mount kit, but what about audio? Sound is just as important as the picture and, let's face it, the speakers built into TVs these days leave a lot to be desired.

Qpad 5k Review
XSReviews have a new review of the Qpad 5k gaming mouse

Most companies that produce mouse mats tend to dip into other peripheral fields; the obvious one being the world of gaming rodents; QPad are one such firm. Today I'm taking a look at a new mouse from them known as the 5k which features a high DPI (though they term it CPI), a good polling rate and low USB response time. Let's see how it compares to some of the more established names on the market.

OCZ PC3-17000 Flex EX 12GB Review
OCC has published a review on the OCZ PC3-17000 Flex EX 12GB

At right around 2200Mhz, the memory controller on my poor tetest-bed Core i7 920 just would not give me any more clock speed and would start dropping channels. By lowering the clock speed, I was able to tighten up the sub-timings to get the modules to run at Cas 8 at just over 2000MHz and Cas 7 at just over 1900MHz, if you choose to run this set at a lower speeds. But then again this is a kit meant to run at 2133MHz, so you will want to get what you pay for and use them at the rated speed.

Zotac H55ITX-C-E Mini-ITX WiFi Motherboard Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Zotac H55ITX-C-E Mini-ITX WiFi Motherboard

Zotac International was the first brand to launch a Mini-ITX H55 based motherboard back in January 2010. Other brands such as ECS Elitegroup and GIGABYTE followed the trend by launching their own Mini-ITX products, and they seem to be selling well. Here at Benchmark Reviews, we've already admitted our secret affair with HTPCs, and this time, we're testing the latest H55 ITX product available: the Zotac H55-ITX-C-E. This mini-board comes with USB 3.0 support and 6 S-ATA ports against 4 ports included in the competition. Zotac's the only brand to include not one, but two WiFi Antennas and a better PCB layout. Benchmark Reviews tests the Zotac H55ITX-C-E Mini ITX Motherboard to check performance, functionality and overclocking capabilities within this newer version.

The Arctic Cooling Accelero XTREME is back as the "Accelero XTREME Plus", which adds supports for many more mid-range and high-end graphics cards from AMD/ATI and NVIDIA.

Kingston SSDNow V+ 128GB SSD Review
Vortez.co.uk posted Kingston SSDNow V+ 128GB SSD Review

With prices slowly dropping on SSDs, never has there been a better time to invest in a rapid storage device for your windows boot drive. Being lower in capacity compared to the traditional hard drive has meant that many abstain from investing in 30-60GB for their boot drive which is understandable. But since 100GB+ is now available at a much more affordable price, there is a keen attraction to making the move.

Incorporating the Toshiba internals (SNVP325-S2) this drive is the 2nd generation supporting TRIM . So there is no need to flash firmware to get TRIM support, it comes as standard on this 128GB unit I am reviewing today. The V+ series boasts some speedy performance gains over the original V series of SSD using MLC NAND Flash and a claim of 1,000,000 hours MTBF (mean time before failure) which translates to 114 years just in case you wanted to try and out live the Guinness World record holder.

Actinic Enterprise 10 Review
Business Computing World published a review of Actinic Enterprise 10

It's not cheap, that's for certain, but if you're looking to run a large online store the budget is likely to be a lot larger anyway and it's not extortionate. Neither is it the only solution around, with both commercial and open source alternatives able to rival what Actinic can do. It is, however, a well proven and popular product with a thriving user community plus plenty of support both from Actinic itself and third parties, making it a good choice for buyers looking for a scalable, British-based e-commerce solution.
