PC Modding Malaysia posted a Biostar Sigma Gate V7603GS21 GeForce 7600GS Review

Biostar's budget friendly EGate V7603GS21 graphics card packs a powerful punch for your money. Again, to keep the costs low, the package bundle just comes with the bare minimum for those who prefer not to pay for any extras. The included V-Ranger overclocking utility is a revolutionary way of overclocking graphics cards. And surely, this little beast can overclock! With the V-Ranger utility, we managed 702 MHz on the core, 75% faster than stock, and that was done with the stock cooler. Armed with GDDR3, this graphics card is virtually a 7600GT in disguise. Actually, it blows a 7600GT when overclocked :wink: The GPU does get a little toasty when overclocked and overvolted, so we believe it may be a good idea to give it a better cooler.

Tech ARP posted a Vizo Luxon 3.5" USB & SATA External HDD Enclosure Review

There are so many external hard drive enclosures in the market, but what sets the Vizo Luxon apart from the others is the fact that it supports direct SATA connectivity in addition to the usual USB cable.

TheTechLounge.com posted a review on the Samsung SyncMaster 225BW 22" Widescreen LCD

Samsung has an outstanding history of producing great LCD monitors. Today we look at the Samsung SyncMaster 225BW 22" Widescreen LCD display. Its 22" size is an upgrade from the 20" widescreens that have dominated the market for the past two years. And what a welcome upgrade it is. The unit sports an MSRP of $500, however I couldn’t find any store that is actually selling it for that price. The usual price is between $380 and $400 (plus any applicable shipping and tax); although at the time I checked (December 26th) prices were cut further because of the after Christmas sales.

Overclockers Online has posted a review on the Crucial Ballistix 2x1GB PC2-5300

As I mentioned in the opening, this was our first experience with a kit of memory from Crucial here at Overclockers Online and I don't think we could have had better modules to look at. I had big expectations from this memory after I saw that the IC's they used were the famous D9GMH and those lofty expectations were surpassed in all aspects of overclocking.

Viper Lair posted an Apevia ATX-IB680W-BL Iceberg PSU review

A PSU is still one of those things that many people don't put a lot of thought into when in reality it should be one of the components you put the most thought into. Would you build a performance car with "no name" brand, or inferior quality parts? The Apevia Iceberg we tested was well within spec and didn't have any wild fluctuations that would lead me to believe there are any problems with the unit.

XYZ Computing has a new article out on the Microsoft Habu Laser Gaming Mouse

Microsoft realized that its Intellimouse Explorer despite being a general use mouse had a strong following amongst gamers. The company capitalized on this with the release of the Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 where they changed the color to black (a must for gamers), improved a few of the features, and took the mouse back to the old school design of the previous Intellimouse models. With this mouse Microsoft was trying to get the attention of gamers, maybe not rocking their world, but letting them know that Microsoft had a product built for them. The next mouse ended up being the Habu. This is notable because Microsoft teamed up with Razer to make the mouse. It's all little strange, but if you combine Razer's design with Microsoft's size, it seems like you would have a good chance at a successful product. If nothing else this mouse is an exercise in teamwork and a look at what happens when two very different parties join forces.

Futurelooks posted a review on the FOXCONN GeForce 7950GT 512MB GDDR3 Video Card

With the sea of massive dual slot graphics cards out there, one would think that high performance graphics cards had to have monster heatsinks as a pre-requisite. However, FOXCONN has shown us that this is definitely not the case. The slim profile of this 7950GT based video card shows that it can be done on a diet.

TrustedReviews have looked at the HP Photosmart Pro B9180

This is a big printer, but has a solid, professional feel. Large areas of plastic in A3+ printers often feel flimsy, but not here. It has a functional design – boxy, but with a curved front edge. The main paper tray, which can be used for any paper from 15 x 10cm to A3+ paper, extends, so you only need to open it up when using larger sizes. The cover telescopes out, too.
