Driverheaven posted a review on the HIS 4870 IceQ4+ TURBO Graphics Card

We recently looked at the HIS HD4850 IceQ 4 TurboX and it earned our highly coveted Heavenly Gold Award. Hopefully the 4870 were looking at today can offer the same value and performance package for its class.

FSP Group Booster X5 450 Watt Dedicated Videocard Power Supply Review
Tweaknews posted a review on the FSP Group Booster X5 450 Watt Dedicated Videocard Power Supply

I can definitely see the niche that this product sets out to fill, and it does a good job of filling it. Available from the FSP website for less than $80 US, this is a great value for the enthusiast needing more graphics power but unable or unwilling to spring for a new power supply.

Lian Li's PC-888 chassis Review
bit-tech published a review of Lian Li's PC-888 chassis

For those of us with our sanity intact though, it’s not enough. In fact, even if the PC-888 was the coolest and easiest case to use in the world it probably still wouldn’t be enough. Paying over £400 for a case is just nuts, even when you discount the fact that it’s outperformed and under featured in comparison to other premium cases like the awesome Cooler Master ATCS 840.

While we appreciate the exclusivity involved in its ownership there’s few or none of the benefits you’d expect from a high cost exclusive purchase. Stay in a five-star hotel and you’ll get five-star service. Buy a Lamborghini and you’ll get a super car arguably worthy of the price tag. Buy the PC-888 and you’ll get a decent chassis that, underneath the unique design and blue aluminium, is no better than a much more affordable case.

TestFreaks posted a review on the Cavalry CAXE37500 500GB USB 2.0/eSATA 3.5" External HDD

Geeks.com carries many external hard drives, and most are the same with a standard hard drive inside of them and they'll all perform as you might expect. Today I've got a Cavalry branded 500GB USB 2.0 and eSATA External hard drive from them, this drive though is a bit different, it features a Western Digital Green SATA hard drive inside of it allowing the enclosure to be fanless, quiet, cool and use less power. So read on to learn more,

SansDigital MobileStor MS2UTN+ RAID Enclosure Review
OCModShop posted a review on the SansDigital MobileStor MS2UTN+ RAID Enclosure

Sometimes setting up a RAID array can be a pain in the butt. For one, professional RAID cards can be expensive. Two, many "easy RAID" features of motherboards are closed solutions. Three: cheaper solutions may not be reliable, and often require offline rebuilds when something goes wrong.. What if you want to have the redundancy protection or s
peed of RAID, but in an external modular box that doesn't mess with your system's current configuration?

SansDigital presents the industry with their MobileStor solutions, which are external hard drive enclosures with a built-in RAID controller. This solution allows you to instantly create several RAID arrays. Since the enclosure is its own little island, you can take your RAID array with you on place it on any computer.

PC World Advent AIO-100 Review
ITreviewed posted a review on the PC World Advent AIO-100

The computer world has seen a big rise in the demand for all-in-one units, thanks largely to the stellar efforts of ASUS, Dell, and HP. Gone are the days of chunky grey boxes sitting under desks in the home office. And now with the Advent AIO-100 we are really tapping in to the fact that more and more people want to use their PCs in their kitchen, living rooms and bedrooms. The Advent AIO-100 is a million miles away from being the perfect computer, but it could be just the ticket for someone on a very tight budget that's looking for a multi-functional and easy-to-use PC. Combining the popular, budget-friendly specifications of netbooks with the screen size of a desktop all wrapped up in one neat transportable package, the Advent AIO-100 is a reasonable effort. As long as you don't expect cutting-edge design or performance you shouldn't be disappointed. If it was our money, we'd look more closely at ASUS' Eee Top range.

VR-Zone checks out the GTX 285, a slightly higher clocked version of the GTX 280. Just how much difference can a dieshrink make to this 1.4 billion transistor monster of a GPU?

ASUS EAH4870 Matrix 512MB Video Card Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the ASUS EAH4870 Matrix 512MB Video Card

The ASUS Radeon HD 4870 Matrix 512MB Video Card is not your average ATI Radeon HD 4870 as it has a four pipe heat sink that is cooled by two cooling fans. This custom cooler not only lowers noise levels it drops temperatures and allows the card to be overclocked right out of the box.

Hiper Osiris Black Mid Tower Case Review
EXTREME Overclocking has just posted a review on the Hiper Osiris Black Mid Tower Case.

Computer chassis manufacturers are always working to perfect their designs and make each case in their line-up just a little better than the previous model. Recently we reviewed the Hiper Anubis, this was Hiper's rookie case. They have since released the Hiper Osiris which can be called an evolution of the Anubis design, and today we will see how it fairs.

Canon EOS 50D Digital SLR Camera Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the Canon EOS 50D Digital SLR Camera

We're launching a brand new Cameras / Gadgets channel on HotHardware today, and with it we have a full evaluation of the Canon EOS 50D Digital SLR Camera. Whether you're an amateur photographer or someone who's more serious about photography, a D-SLR can provide a lot of benefits over a simple point and shoot camera. With a D-SLR, you'll get faster shooting speeds, better optics (and therefore a better quality picture), the ability to change lenses for ultimate flexibility, and much, much more.

Like many products, there are entry-level D-SLRs, professional-grade D-SLRs, and plenty of models in between. Canon's 50D blurs the line between amateur and professional D-SLR cameras. This camera strikes a good balance with its price and feature set. With this camera, you'll get a lot of features you wouldn't find on entry-level models, but you won't pay professional-grade prices, either. Users who are just making the jump to a D-SLR, for example will appreciate the 50D's Live View mode, which lets you use the D-SLR's LCD to frame an image, similar to the way you would frame an image using a point and shoot camera. For more advanced shooters, the 50D also has full manual controls to give you ultimate control over your photographs. Come on by the site and check it out...

Brando's QTV Digital Photo Frame is unlike anything else on the market. The amazingly cute gizmo is designed to look like a 1960s TV set, along with replica antenna and huge controls buttons. The QTV Digital Photo Frame is not only a digital photo frame, but also a FM radio, MP3 and AVI video viewer.

Bigbruin.com has posted a review on the Thecus N4100PRO 4-Bay Network Attached Storage System

Thecus has focused their business on network attached storage devices, and they definitely know what they are doing. The N4100PRO is well built, attractively styled, fairly easy to configure, and installing drives is simple. Testing shows that it is capable of respectable data transfer rates that easily outshine a less powerful NAS device.

Sunbeamtech Core Contact Freezer CPU Cooler Review
Futurelooks has posted a review on the Sunbeamtech Core Contact Freezer CPU Cooler

Since the dawn of the era of performance computing and overclocking, cooling manufacturers have been exploring every avenue to keep a CPU cool using air. Those that were around should remember the Alpha P125, and since then there’s been a whole host of cooling options released. We’ve seen more fins, different materials, weird shapes, and just simply huge coolers. Sunbeamtech took a look at all these elaborate mechanisms, and then looked in their own barn at what they had wrought, and decided to do something simple that should cool very effectively.

Gigabyte Energy Efficient GA-EP45-DQ6 Motherboard Review
PC Stats posted a review on the Gigabyte Energy Efficient GA-EP45-DQ6 Motherboard

Any gamer on the market for a Crossfire capable motherboard will be
pleased with Gigabyte's EP45-DQ6 motherboard and its pair of 2nd generation PCI Express x16 slots. With only one PCI Express x16 videocard installed, there are 16 PCI-e lanes dedicated to it, but under Crossfire both videocards will run in x8/x8 mode. Alongside are two PCI Express x4 slots for high bandwidth peripherals, which while physically shorter than a full size PCI express x16 slots are open at the end so full-size PCI Express x16 videocards can be installed.

Hardware Canucks has posted a review of the Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme 1366 RT CPU cooler

In fact, unlike previous generations of the Ultra-120, the new Ultra-120 eXtreme 1366 RT is fully equipped with a fan and ready for action right out of the box. We will be testing the performance of this "new-old" heat sink on a well equipped Intel i7 965 Extreme processor. The goal of this review will be to see what gains can be had by the Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme 1366 RT over the stock Intel i7 cooler and which fan configuration is the ideal for our test setup.

Akasa Nero 1366 Review
PureOverclock posted a review of the Akasa Nero Socket 1366 CPU heatsink.

There are several companies now issuing Socket 1366 brackets that will allow current coolers to be used on the new Core i7 processors, but with a 40% larger surface area on the new chips, these behemoths output an enormous amount of heat, and we're not entirely convinced the old coolers will be sufficient. Today we're testing the Akasa Nero on the Core i7 Socket 1366, the first of several Core i7 coolers we'll be examining to test cooling performance on the new CPUs.
