Eagle I-Series 3.5" JBOD Enclosure Review
DreamWare Computers posted a review on the Eagle I-Series 3.5" JBOD Enclosure

Eagle Tech is a fairly new name around here still. The only review I've done in the past for them was of the L-Series 2.5" SATA drive enclosure - a relativly simple yet stylish enclosure. Although they have a handful of 2.5" enclosures in their product lineup, the large majority of their drive enclosures are of the 3.5" variety. Today, the I-Series has arrived for review. It's a dual 3.5" SATA drive enclosure with JBOD (the ability to combine the capacity of the two drives into one large drive).

AMD Phenom II X4 940: Compared to Phenom X4 9950 BE and Intel Core 2 Q9550
InsideHW.com has reviewed AMD Phenom II X4 940 and compared its performances with performances of AMD Phenom X4 9950 BE and Intel Core 2 Q9550.

In last few years it looked like AMD lost its bearings in CPU market. No one expected that company, that is in constant transition, financial problems and without complete product portfolio, can produce interesting, equivalent and concurrent product. Phenom CPUs with K10 micro architecture didn't claim speed crown from Intel, but they were significant step forward compared to "worn out" K8 cores. We must be aware of the fact that every processor is result of compromise between investments and goals. Probably K10 would be better product if it had larger L2 and L3 cache memory, with better and larger Branch Target Buffers, with different cache policies that are favoring intensive operations with cache memory, but in that case Phenom, that was manufactured in 65nm process, wouldn't give adequate results.

Antec Skeleton Review
Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the Antec Skeleton case

When it comes to your computer case, the choices seem to be endless, however when you boil it down most of them are an enclosed rectangle box. Antec has taken a different approach with their latest case, the Skeleton. They have broken out of the 'box' in more ways than one with this latest case.

Nexus FLC-3000 Universal CPU Cooler Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Nexus FLC-3000 Universal CPU Cooler

Nexus has sent us a couple of coolers in this category of compact cooling solutions before, namely the Nexus XiR 3500 copper and the XiR 2300 aluminum coolers. Nexus is based off the concept that there is a real need to lower the ambient noise of a PC to make it more enjoyable to be around. This philosophy stands to serve them well as more users are putting HTPC’s in rooms where noise just isn’t wanted, let alone the idea of giving the ears of everyday users a break.

Here we have the Nexus FLC-3000 universal cooler. The idea behind the FLC-3000 is not a totally new idea, really an adaptation of their previous design. This time Nexus has taken the XiR 2300 and changed a few things around to address some issues. They have set the bend of the heat pipes closer to the base and used shorter heat pipes. This doesn’t allow the cooler to lie over completely as the previous ones did. What it does do is a two-fold benefit in theory. For one, it gets the fan closer to the base holding the SkiveTEK:registered: heat sink which should improve its cooling ability. And the angle in which the cooler sits allows for a directional breeze to flow across the motherboard to help cool vital components.
