Bigbruin.com posted a review on the NZXT Cryo LX Notebook Cooler

This Cryo LX definitely takes inspiration from some of NZXT's cases, and incorporates quality materials and a well thought out design into a cooler capable of handling 17" (and even 19") notebook computers. Constructed mostly of thick Aluminum, and sporting three 120mm fans, this isn't just an oversized version of the typical notebook cooler.

Nesteq ECS7001 PSU Review
DriverHeaven posted a review on the Nesteq ECS7001 PSU

Today we will take a look at the ECS7001, a powerful 700W PSU featuring a patented cable connecting system. It may look like yet another modular PSU but unlike all other modular PSUs you don't have to connect each cable directly to the unit; you can connect each cable right where another cable ends. Interesting? We think so.

MSI P35 Platinum Combo Motherboard Review
Viper Lair posted a review on the MSI P35 Platinum Combo Motherboard

Overclocking the old fashioned way was actually very easy, despite the E6750's 333MHz FSB. With little effort, we were able to reach 490Mhz on air. Granted, we've had to increase the voltages to the max for CPU and chipset, but this was impressive considering we were using air cooling. I was able to squeeze an extra 4MHz out of the Gigabyte board, but given in the past I've had some issues with overclocking MSI boards, I was quite pleased with the results.

Shuttle's XPC SP35P2 Pro SFF barebones system Review
The Tech Report posted a review on Shuttle's XPC SP35P2 Pro SFF barebones system

Intel's P35 Express has reigned as the enthusiast chipset of choice for Core 2 processors since its introduction last May, and for good reason. The P35 delivers a fantastic combination of performance, features, and overclocking potential with a low enough price tag to allow for a wide range of affordable motherboards. But what if you desire a system smaller than your average mid tower or even Micro ATX enclosure?

Then you'll probably be eyeing something like Shuttle's XPC SP35P2 Pro. Built on a small form factor P2 chassis that Shuttle has been tweaking for years, the SP35P2 packs a P35 chipset, four DIMM slots, two hard drive bays, and support for double-wide graphics cards into an enclosure not much larger than a shoebox. There's even an integrated fingerprint reader, and in defiance of the system's proportions, ample options for overclocking.

On features and specifications alone, the SP35P2 is easily the most interesting small form factor system for PC enthusiasts—not that there are many to choose from these days. The question, then, is how the SP35P2 stacks up against its full-sized ATX counterparts. Read on to see what, if anything, Shuttle has compromised to bring the P35 Express to market in a small form factor system.

ASUS Triton 75 CPU Cooler Review
TweakTown posted a review on the ASUS Triton 75 CPU Cooler

As mentioned before the Triton 75 is a passive cooler. ASUS includes all of the hardware needed to attach a 120mm fan to the cooler. Assuming that most users will be adding a fan we are going to test the Triton 75 with a 120mm fan.

The Triton 75 is a four heatpipe cooler with a copper base and uses aluminum fins to dissipate heat. As you will soon see the cooler is designed to pass air from above and push it down to the motherboard.

Swiftech has been around since 1994 and is perhaps best known for their thermoelectric and liquid cooling solutions that first gained popularity in late 2000 / early 2001. Recently I had the opportunity to test out one of their latest water-cooling kits, the H2O-220 Compact. I know some of you are probably thinking, "oh no, not a water-cooling kit...

Ideazon Merc Stealth Illuminated Gaming Keyboard Review
OCC has published a new review of the Ideazon Merc Stealth Illuminated Gaming Keyboard

We will start from the far left. The Ideazon Merc Stealth Illuminated Gaming Keyboard's main selling point is the keypad used specifically for
gaming, designed for ease of reach, and use of key buttons, while playing your favorite PC games. The design is also for comfort purposes because playing games for hours with a standard layout can be hard on your wrist and forearms. Above the keypad are your media buttons, volume, and media player options like play, pause, stop, skip forward and back. There are also key features like the brightness and color of your keyboard LEDs, as well as the z and I, II, III buttons for opening your control panel and three banks of profiles.

BFGTech GeForce 8800 GTS OC 512MB Review
bit-tech published a review of the BFGTech GeForce 8800 GTS OC 512MB

We couldn't talk about the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB without mentioning the alternatives---such as the GeForce 8800 GT and GeForce 8800 GTX---that are tentatively priced either side of the card we're looking at here today. Ultimately, the choice on whether you need to spend £150, £200 or £250 will depend on your requirements.

1680x1050 seems to be the optimal resolution for the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB, but performance doesn't tail off too much at 1920x1200; therefore, if you're gaming on a higher-resolution screen, we'd recommend plumping for a GeForce 8800 GTX or Radeon HD 3870 X2. However, if you've got a 1280x1024 screen you should probably save the cash and opt for a GeForce 8800 GT. It's also worth mentioning that the GeForce 8800 GT is a pretty capable card at 1680x1050 as well -- although it's not as competent as the 8800 GTS 512MB, where it's around 15 percent slower on average.

You're probably wondering why I've not mentioned the alternatives from ATI yet -- that's because there really isn't any alternative at this price point. The newly-released Radeon HD 3870 X2 typically retails for around £270 (inc. VAT)---some £65 more than the BFGTech GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB. And at the other end of the scale, the Radeon HD 3870 is available for around £130 (inc. VAT) -- that's about £65 less than the cheapest 8800 GTS 512MB and it's in a different performance class.

So, BFGTech's GeForce 8800 GTS OC 512MB appears to have hit a price point that can't be matched by anything other than stock-clocked GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB cards and as such it earns a recommendation from us. However, it's important to make sure that it's going to be connected to a 1680x1050 or 1920x1200 display, as that will show the card in its best possible light. You can get away with running the BFGTech GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB on higher or lower resolution screens, but the benefits of the card aren't going to be quite so profound.

Adata S701 2GB Sport Flash Drive Review
Ninjalane has posted their review of the super tiny flash drive from Adata called the S701 Sport.

The drive features a zinc alloy metal shell and textured skin. The shell is formed to be light weight and extremely strong, part of the strength comes from the apparently seamless design and the fact it's made from metal instead of plastic.
