Fractal Design Define R3 Case Review
Dreamware Computers posted a review on the Fractal Design Define R3 Case

Today we'll be taking a look at a case from a manufacturer new to us here at DreamWare Computers; Fractal Design. However, in the past 2 years, Fractal Design has gained a lot of recognition for their well-priced cases which provide many features reminiscent of even higher priced cases. They are based in Sweden and have gradually made themselves known internationally for their innovations. Their success began with the Define R2 case and now continues with their Define R3 case, which we will look at today. Will Fractal Design make its mark and leave a great first impression here at DreamWare Computers?

PI Manufacturing Single Desk Mount Bracket for LCD Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the PI Manufacturing Single Desk Mount Bracket for LCD

I’ve got a few monitors and I’ve been meaning to get a mount or arm for them so when I was contacted by PI Manufacturing about reviewing their products which included desk mounts I jumped right in. Today for review I’ve got a simple but very useful product that a lot of people overlook when it comes to setting up their workspaces and that’s a mounting bracket for their LCDs. The one I have today can be used for either a TV or monitor up to 17.6 lbs and extend up to 17 inches in height. It swivels all around and allows the monitor to tilt up and down as well.

Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 Vapor-X Edition Review
Neoseeker posted a review on the Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 Vapor-X Edition

Our lineup of reviews for ATI's latest mid-range wonder, the Radeon HD 6870, increases with our look at Sapphire's Vapor-X take on the card. While the card retains the reference design's core and memory clock speeds, it promises ever better overclocking through improved power and thermal efficiency through 10-phase power control, Black Diamond Chokes and of course the Vapor-X cooling design solution. See if the Sapphire Vapor-X card's reference speeds at a slightly higher price still make for great mid-range value, especially against the NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti!

GlacialTech Siberia CPU Cooler Review
iXBT Labs posted a review on the GlacialTech Siberia CPU Cooler

In GlacialTech's lineup Siberia accompanies Alaska. But while Alaska is a universal solution good for both regular users and overclockers, Siberia is a more specialized, niche product made for those who like silence and prefer HTPC enclosures.

CM Storm Spawn Optical Gaming Mouse Review
Benchmark Reviews takes a look at the CM Storm Spawn Optical Gaming Mouse

When Cooler Master made a splash into the competitive gaming market with its CM Storm subsidiary in 2008, they had the sole goal of "Arming the gaming revolution." After creating successful cases and mice, CM Storm has added yet another product to its line. The CM Storm Spawn gaming mouse is aiming at the more mainstream gaming crowd by providing great features but at a more affordable price. These features include a anti drift 3500DPI sensor, Japanese Omron micro-switches, and 32KB of onboard Sentinel-X memory all of a reasonable price of $49.99. Benchmark Reviews will look if all of these features add up to a great mouse for a reasonable price or if the CM Storm Spawn is just another generic gaming peripheral in the sea of gaming peripherals.

Noctua NH-C14 140mm CPU Cooler Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the new Noctua NH-C14 140mm CPU Cooler.

The vast majority of the high performance CPU coolers on the market are currently designed in a tower-style format but Noctua is on a mission to change that with their new NH-C14. The C14 uses a massive heatsink which comes equipped with a pair of low noise 140mm fans; a combination which is sure to appeal to a wide market. However, can it strike the delicate balance between silence cooling performance?

Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB Hard Drive Review
OCC has published a review on the Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB Hard Drive

The Seagate Barracuda Green drive with Advanced Format and Smart Align technology is a beast to be reckoned with. This drive is all about a balance of strong performance with low overhead. For just a bit more than $100 you get a massive 2TB of space (before formatting) that is quiet and consumes a low amount of power. Seagate has put a lot of time and research into this drive and it shows. I was fortunate enough to have been involved with the Barracuda Green Advanced Format drive for a while now, starting with the Alpha testing and I have watched as this technology matured into an awesome product.

ASUS GTX580 DirectCU II Review
ocaholic posted a review on the ASUS GTX580 DirectCU II video card

With their DirectCU II version ASUS shows its first high end NVIDIA graphics card with a triple slot cooler. Until today only Gainward with their GLH series (Goes Like Hell) was known for their huge triple slot coolers but now also ASUS has such a monster in its portfolio. But overworking only the cooler would have been too easy. ASUS provided this card also with their own power design which always is an indicator for good overclockability.

GIGABYTE E350N-USB3 Fusion Benched, Overclocked and Examined
TweakTown benchmarked the new GIGABYTE E350N-USB3 motherboard

I'm going to be honest here when I say that I wasn't on the Fusion bandwagon from the start. I liked the idea behind it, but I wasn't sure if we would actually ever see it eventuate, or at least eventuate to a product that we would want to own. Fusion is here, though, and it's time to decide if this is something that's going to line AMDs pockets with money, or will be a good idea that hasn't been executed well. Our first look at Fusion is going to come in the form of a retail board which will be hitting shelves soon.

The GIGABYTE E350N-USB3 is as you might've guessed a Fusion board based on the E Series of Fusion APU from AMD. They tell us that this is the "Value & Essential" series. We're going to get into all of that in just a few moments, though, as we take a look at the motherboard to see what's on offer. What we'll first do is check out the package that GIGABYTE has got going on. Once that's done we'll have a closer look at the board itself, the features it offers and get a bit more technical with what Fusion is and what AMD wants it to do.

Foxconn H55MX-S Motherboard Review
KitGuru posted a review on the Foxconn H55MX-S Motherboard

With Sandy Bridge in a state of hiatus for the next couple of months, a specific sector of our audience may decide to opt for the previous-generation platform which is now thoroughly tried and tested. These people are more likely to be building a media system which doesn’t require all the processing grunt that Sandy Bridge has to offer.

Foxconn have sent us their H55MX-S motherboard to test which features an Intel H55 chipset and adopts a compact Micro-ATX form factor. Both of these features make it ideal for a mid-size HTPC as the Intel H55 chipset features integrated graphics and the Micro-ATX form factor provides a compromise between size and features.
