NZXT Tempest Evo Review
XSReviews has written a review of the NZXT Tempest Evo gaming case

To conclude our trio of NZXT enclosure reviews, we bring you the Tempest EVO. As with so many of NZXT's cases, the product has undergone some sort of evolution whereby the original design has been adjusted or altered to improve its functionality leading to the addition of the EVO part of the name.

How has the chassis been changed though and is it for the better? Let's get stuck in and find out.

Asus G73Jh-A1 Gaming Notebook Review
BURNED iN posted Asus G73Jh-A1 Gaming Notebook Review

We realize we're not the first website to post a review of the Asus G73Jh-A1 gaming notebook -- though we were one of the first to get our hands on this unit (heh, we said "unit") -- but even if you've read several other evaluations of this model already, let us encourage you to click through the following pages anyway. Why? Dude, we like the hits. But other than the obvious, after a couple of months of extensive testing and real-world usage, we have a firm grip on where this laptop stands among its peers, and at least one quirky troubleshooting tip that we wouldn't have run into had we cranked out a review after a few days of testing (Steam users take note, this tip applies to you).

OCZ Technology Enyo 128GB Portable USB 3.0 SSD Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the OCZ Technology Enyo 128GB Portable USB 3.0 SSD

The OCZ Enyo USB 3.0 Portable Solid State Drive (SSD) features all the performance and durability advantages of an internal SSD, but in a slim portable USB 3.0 external storage solution for on-the-go power users. With up to 260MB/s read and 200MB/s write capabilities, the OCZ Enyo is unlike any portable USB 3.0 device you have ever used before.

The OCZ Enyo 128GB USB 3.0 portable SSD is certainly unlike any portable USB 3.0 drive that we have ever used before. The drive is insanely fast, incredibly lightweight and has a great minimalistic appearance to it. If you have a PC that has USB 3.0 or are about to upgrade, you need a device like the OCZ Enyo to take advantage of the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 header on your PC. With the OCZ Enyo 128GB SSD you get fast, portable and robust USB 3.0 derived SSD that can easily fit in the front pocket of your jeans as it is no thicker than current mobile phones...

Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Samsung Galaxy S

The latest addition the Samsung Galaxy S line is here on Verizon wireless and it’s called the Fascinate. This phone is worthy addition to the ever expanding Android line up that Verizon has going over there. I’ve gotten my hands on all of their Android phones so far and you’re going to have some tough decisions to make when it comes to choosing one surely. I own the Galaxy S Captivate for AT&T so I also included a bit of a comparison as well in here because I wanted to see what the differences might be between the two phones. The Fascinate though is a great phone, the interface is quick and responsive and has some of tweaks by Verizon, but that’s to be expected. The 1ghz processor does a great job of handling anything you can throw at it, never once did I run across any problem with the phone slowing down or lagging even when I had many apps running. So read on to learn more about the Fascinate…

techPowerUp posted a review on the PowerColor HD 5750 Low Profile 1 GB

PowerColor's HD 5750 Low Profile is the first HD 5700 Series low-profile card on the market. This seems to be a godsend for compact media PC systems that can also handle the latest games at decent resolution and settings. We take this card for a spin to see if it can hold its promise.

Alienware Orion Messenger Laptop Bag Review
KitGuru posted a review on the Alienware Orion Messenger Laptop Bag

When we were at Insomnia 40 last weekend we came across the Alienbags stand, who were displaying a selection of Alienware-branded laptop bags. Well we managed to talk them into letting us have a sample of the Orion Messenger bag from their stand for review.

As we mentioned in our Insomnia 40 article, Alienbags aren't actually produced by Alienware (or Dell) themselves and are actually produced by Mobile Edge, the same company that brought us the 13 and 17 Macbook sleeves that we reviewed recently under license.
