SteelSeries Kinzu Optical Gaming Mouse Review
Vortez.co.uk posted SteelSeries Kinzu Optical Gaming Mouse Review

These days your typical gaming mouse would have up to 8 buttons, have a weight system and enable you to customize the colours in just a few clicks. Such a sophisticated device can only mean one thing, gaming mice have certainly progressed in the last couple of years. Recent trends have been to design gaming mice to be funky, modern and feature bursting, and as such you would expect to pay the price.

Today we have an attempt from SteelSeries to break out of this trend and offer a gaming mouse with a 'minimalist' approach. Behold, the Kinzu. The Kinzu could quite easily be mistaken for a standard optical mouse, sure enough it has just 3 buttons and a scrolling wheel. There isn't anything special from its visual appearance either, but then this is the concept behind this mouse. It's quite clear, the Kinzu is for the oldschool gamer that doesn't need numerous buttons to play the games they love.

Gigabyte Geforce GTX 260 Super OverClock Video Card Review
Madshrimps posted Gigabyte Geforce GTX 260 Super OverClock Video Card Review

We have seen many factory-overclocked cards from different vendors, but most of these cards just push the GPU/MEM clocks using reference design hardware. Once in a while, a cards pop up like this Gigabyte SOC card which deviates from the group and packs a whole lot more punch then what other vendors can offer.

DFI LANParty DK 790X-M2RS Motherboard Review
iXBT Labs takes a look at the DFI LANParty DK 790X-M2RS Motherboard

This motherboard produces mixed impressions. On the one hand, we have found out that modern products from DFI, including the mid-end DK series, still offer high technical quality. On the other hand, if the company decided to cater for overclockers, they should have done it properly.

Ultra X4 750-Watt Modular Power Supply Review
Bona Fide Reviews posted a review on the Ultra X4 750-Watt Modular Power Supply

So today for review I've got a power supply, but not just any, it's the new X4 750Watt from Ultra. The X4 is a fully modular power supply that makes things much easier when it comes to keeping your case nice and tidy. The X4 also features many cables with enough connections for most any type of setup you've got. One of the great features about this PSU is that despite the rather large voltage it's still a physically small power supply that should fit in most any case.

ATI Radeon HD5830: The Promiscuous GFX card from AMD
eTeknix.com posted a review on the ATI Radeon HD5830: The Promiscuous GFX card from AMD

AMD within the past year has released graphics cards in which not only compete with Nvidia’s price scheme but also obliterate Nvidia’s high end gaming graphics cards. So it is with no surprise that AMD continues to clear a path for the budget conscience user. AMD within the past year have proven themselves very successful with their 4000 series, as well as their 5000 series, which leads the market in performance to this day.

OCZ Black Edition DDR3 Memory Kit OCZ3BE1600C8LV4GK Review
Benchmark Reviews has released a new article on the OCZ Black Edition DDR3 Memory Kit OCZ3BE1600C8LV4GK

There is no shortage of DDR3 memory in the marketplace these days, and it's priced lower than DDR2 in many cases. As always though, the choices to be made when selecting RAM for a system can be confusing. There are a lot of kits currently available that are "optimized" for Intel i5 and i7 systems, and now OCZ has released two new low voltage kits that are designed to complement the AMD Black Edition series of CPUs. Both sets of DIMMs are specified at 1600 MHz; one at CL7 timings, and the other at CL8. They are both rated to run these speeds at 1.65v. In this article Benchmark Reviews will examine how a dual-channel kit of CL8 modules, optimized for an AMD 790FX platform, performs at a variety of speeds and timings.

GeIL 8GB DDR3-1600 Black Dragon Review
PureOverclock has published a review of the GeIL 8GB DDR3-1600 Black Dragon memory modules

These GeIL 8GB DDR3-1600 Black Dragon memory modules look very unique from what we normally see, sporting no fancy heatspreaders, and instead going with a different approach: black PCB, gold printing, and red LEDs make these Black Dragons quite refreshing in a sea of clichd products that want us to believe that sleek metal casings somehow better performance and can justify the high price tags that accompany such things.

Lian-Li PC-8N Aluminum Case Review
TestSeek posted a review on the Lian-Li PC-8N aluminum case

All in all, Lian Li PC-8N is a high quality medium range box which offers great materials, low weight and an excellent finish. It has some good details like the anti-vibration system for the hard disks; the fans and their anti dust filters and grids but I can help wishing it had a decent cable management system and that the installation was tool free. If it had those two features it would be a practically perfect case. Still the case is quite spacious and the fans are quiet which lifts the overall score somewhat.

The Lian Li PC-8N is not a cheap case; it goes for around 100 bucks at Newegg. The main reason for its rather high price tag is of course the aluminum and if you want a case in this material you will have to put up this much cash...
