TrustedReviews looked at the Sony CyberShot DSC-W70

As befits its mid-range status, the W70 is a fairly unremarkable looking camera. It has a functional but not unattractive aluminium body with nice brushed finish and chrome trim, and the usual selection of external controls. Measuring 88.9 x 57.1 x 22.9mm it is slim and compact, and weighing in at 127g empty or 157g ready to shoot it is nice and light, but in neither case exceptionally so. Build quality is excellent, and although the aluminium body doesn’t feel as solid as the steel shell of a Canon IXUS or Casio Exilim, it is still sturdy enough to be carried around in a coat pocket.

Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the Antec EarthWatts 500W

Chalk another one up for Antec! The EarthWatts 500W is an excellent power supply unit which combines efficiency, performance, and is almost inaudible despite the single 80mm fan. This power supply was able hold its ground even under absolutely treacherous conditions.

Modders-Inc has a new review online on the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones

One of the main issues a person will find with an MP3 / iPodR player is the cord that always finds a way to get caught on something. With the latest headphone from Logitech that is no longer an issue. The Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones allow you to have even more flexibility with a range of up to 33 feet and battery life that lasts up to 6 hours.

BIOS Magazine posted a review on the Rock Pegasus 665 laptop

UK-based Rock is consistently first to market with cutting-edge laptops at competitive prices, but its systems somehow fail to get us excited. The Pegasus 665 is no different. The 15.4-inch system is extremely versatile, offering Intel Core 2 Duo processing for playing games, watching movies or getting your work done on the move, up to 2GB DDR2 memory, and nVidia 3D graphics chipset. So what's the problem? Well, it's just so boring.

techPowerUp posted a review on the A-DATA My Flash PD7 1 GB

A-DATA's My Flash PD7 USB Drive is certified for use with Microsoft Windows Vista ReadyBoost. In our testing this drive takes the performance crown with a sustained read transfer rate of 34 MB/s, far more than any other USB drive we tested so far. Access times are very important for ReadyBoost. Here the PD7 can shine too, only 0.6 ms is a new record as well.

I4U posted an Intel QX6700 Core 2 Quad Extreme Edition CPU Review

Today we are going to have a look at the top of the line CPU offering from Intel, the QX6700 Core 2 Quad Extreme Edition. This CPU is the fastest desktop CPU Intel or AMD has built to date and lives up to the Extreme Edition Moniker very well. Not only is the QX6700 fast right out of the box but it also has good overclocking potential if you are so inclined. Read on to see how well the Intel QX6700 Core 2 Quad Extreme Edition performs.

Virtual-Hideout has posted a review on the Sapphire Ultimate X1650PRO 256MB Graphics Card

The Sapphire Ultimate X1650PRO is a very stable and solid card to say the least. Although it didn't play F.E.A.R. smoothly at the game's maximum settings, it did play it fine at lower settings. The other games played fairly well, and I feel that this card would work out better in a HTPC setup rather than a gaming rig.

GideonTech.com has posted a review on the VIZO Voyager HDD Cooler

The noise level of the fans, however, is negligible, and can't be heard over the other fans in the Thermaltake Mozart TX case used for testing. Importantly for modders, this cooler looks good and fits in most cases, a definite positive.

HotHardware.com posted a new article where they evaluate the features and performance of MSI's NX8800GTX-T2D768E GeForce 8800 GTX.

The GeForce 8800 GTX is definitely the top performing card on the market right now, and MSI's offering is a great example. Overall, nothing else can touch the 8800 GTX at the moment, especially when you look at its performance versus other single-GPU solutions.

FrostyTech reviewed the Alpha Novatech PRE9060M92P Socket 775 Heatsink

When Alpha Novatech produce a new heatsink model the company tends to only produce one or two variations to get it right. On the other hand, companies like Thermaltake produce dozens of heatsinks for each new CPU platform, and six months down the road there is always an entirely new collection of thermal solutions to choose from.... Did you ever wonder why it takes a high end heatsink manufacturer a handful of thermal solutions to cover an entire processor series, and other brands dozens and dozens? In this review, Frostytech will be testing out the Alpha Novatech PRE9060M92P heatsink; a large socket 775 solution ideally suited for Intel Pentium D, Core 2 Duo/Quad processors.

We have finally completed a follow-up review of the MSI NX8800GTX. In addition to reviewing the graphics card in a single GPU configuration, we also pair it up with a second GeForce 8800 GTX to form a mixed vendor SLI configuration. The review is packed with single GPU and SLI benchmarks at resolutions of 1920x1200 and 2560x1600 with various levels of antialiasing in F.E.A.R., Far Cry, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, Half-Life 2 Episode One, and Dark Messiah, which is new to our list of benchmarks. Gameplay performance is tested in Quake 4 as well as a couple of new titles that include Gothic 3 and Neverwinter Nights 2. Throughout the review are plenty of high resolution screenshots for your viewing pleasure, a plethora of interactive image quality comparisons and video clips that demonstrate our walkthrough's in Dark Messiah, Gothic 3, and Neverwinter Nights 2.

Seopher posted a picture heavy review of PCLinuxOS 2007 Beta2

As I covered yesterday, PCLinuxOS 2007 Beta2 has been released to the public and I've had a chance to play with it and I think it's fair to make the conclusion that this is a distro worth keeping an eye on. I apologise now for the inclusion of VMWare in the screenshots.

MadPenguin.org posted a comparison review between PC-BSD vs. Linux Distributions

If you haven't heard of PC-BSD by now, then you must be living in a box. PC-BSD is perhaps the best thing to come to the desktop BSD world in a very long time. But unfortunately, it looks as if this fantastic distribution is following the rest of the pack and will be trying to locate funds by competing with Linux for business customers. Why should this matter? Check this out...

OSWeekly.com posted an article on Linux and tax software

There is no question about it, Linux and tax software have not been the best fit over the years. As expected, the usual excuses were being used: there are not enough Linux users to warrant a Linux version, or if people want, there is always the online options made readily available to those who chose not to.

Elite Bastards put up a Foxconn FV-N88SMBD2-ONOC (GeForce 8800 GTS OC) video card review

On launch day, we took a look at Foxconn's GeForce 8800 GTX part to usher in the DirectX 10 and unified shading era, and it is Foxconn we turn to once more to get our first taste of a factory overclocked G80 board. The FV-N88SMBD2-ONOC may be a mouthful to say, but it is really simply those last two letters that catches our eye - OC. A GeForce 8800 GTS board clocked at GTX speeds sounds like a pretty mouth-watering proposition from where I'm sitting, so let's move straight on to take a look at this intruiging prospect.

TrustedReviews looked at the Samsung SGH-X830

The Samsung SGH-X830 looks more like a portable music player than a phone – it is tall, thin and undersized for a mobile – the dimensions are 84 x 30 x 19.9mm. It weighs 72g, which is less than any mobile I can remember seeing and supports MP3, ACC, ACC+, e-AAC+, WMA file formats.

Pro-Clockers checked out the Aerocool Zero Flexi Tower

The Aerocool Zero Flexi Tower is slightly bigger than a mid-sized case and smaller than a full-sized unit as well, and while it fills the middle-ground in terms of size, it does have the potential to store all your internal components. Most of all, the Zero provides some very serious cooling. Why we say this? Take a look at the article.

BIOS Magazine posted a review on the Steganos Security Suite 2007

Steganos Security Suite 2007 is a very comprehensive data protection suite, and it works really well. The downside is that there are a lot of similar (data erasers, password protectors and encryption) applications available as freeware and shareware. The obvious benefits of Steganos Security Suite 2007 is that you have all these useful features rolled into one intuitive package, backed up by Steganos' support channels. If you handle home or small-business finances, or if you develop intellectual property worth stealing, then this thorough software is your ticket to peace of mind.

Madshrimps posted a review on the OCZ DDR2 PC2-9200 FlexXLC

The last few months have been rather turbulent in memory land. Several new modules have been introduced to the market, some of which are quite revolutionary. Of course, OCZ could not fall behind, and has introduced a new top end memory module with a totally new design, and we spent some quality time with it, can it beat our reigning overclocking champ?
