Maximum CPU has posted its review of the Kingston 1GB U3 DataTraveler.

USB flash drives have been around for quite some time now. However, up until recently, there really wasn't an easy way to install software to your flash drive so it was truly portable. Many programs require registry keys to work correctly or store their info in variety of different locations. This is were the Kingston U3 DataTraveler comes in, which features U3 technology. U3 technology allows anyone to easily install many different programs to their flash drive without worrying if the program will work when they plug the flash drive into a different computer. U3 compatible programs include Firefox, Thunderbird, Trillian, Gaim, OpenOffice, and many others.

Virtual-Hideout posted a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-500 MCE Review

With all that being said, I would feel confident in anyone using the WinTV-PVR-500 MCE who wants to build a HTPC system, or for the user who may have a dual monitor setup and wants to have live TV on the second monitor. The ease of setup and use through MCE also makes getting the WinTV-PVR-500 MCE a plus.

TheTechLounge posted a review on the Linksys iPhone CIT300 Dual-Mode Skype Phone

The product we'll be taking a look at today is the iPhone CIT300 from Linksys. This isn't just your simple everyday cordless phone though, because not only does it support your typical landline connection, but it's also compatible with Skype. If you're not familiar with Skype, it's simply a Voice Over IP (VoIP) service that allows you to talk to other Skype users on the computer for free. The catch is that you both need to be at your computer in order to talk, using a microphone and speaker/headphone combination or a headset of some sort. While it's great that you can make free PC-to-PC "calls" in this fashion, the obvious downside is that you're tethered to your computer for the duration of the conversation. With the CIT300 cordless phone however, this is not the case since you can use it to access your Skype contacts and converse with them as if you were still seated at your computer. There's a lot more to the CIT300 and Skype, but before I get ahead of myself too much, let's take a closer look at the unit itself.

OCIA.net takes a look at the Logitech Harmony 720 Universal Remote in their latest review.

Simple and easy to understand commands make programming the unit a breeze. For those users who require more complex commands, you have the ability to adjust even the smallest factors such as delay time between macro commands. Logitech has an extensive database that should cover most any brand and model of equipment that you may own. The Harmony 720 can accommodate up to 12 different devices (far more than the average user would have).

XtremeComputing posted a Sharkoon - Silent Storm 700W quad 12v PSU Review

To really test the Silent Storm 120 I ran some demanding programs on all parts of the system. The CPU was clocked up to 3.0GHz. 3dMark 05 was used to stress the GPU while Prime95 was used on both cores to stress them and the memory. At the same time a DVD was written to from the hard disk to stress the file system.

Tweaknews.net posted a review on the Saitek Eclipse II Illuminated Keyboard

The main feature of this keyboard is the customizable illumination. Although it won't really help you when doing your daily work, it does help when gaming in a dark environment such as at a LAN gaming event. The lighting does help surprisingly well in those situations and you won't be hunting for keys you cannot see anymore.
