PowerColor Radeon HD 5870 1GB PCS+ OC Video Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the PowerColor Radeon HD 5870 1GB PCS+ OC Video Card

It's hard enough to be a video card manufacturer that embraces both sides of the fence, let alone one that only specializes in one of the two major producers of GPUs. Companies like PowerColor, Sapphire and HIS need to really have stand out versions of popular models. The good news for these companies is that half the work is done; ATI have managed to produce a great line-up of models for us to choose from.

Now it's up to the partners to make what is a good card a great one. PowerColor have actually gone a bit crazy lately; they've got a number of really stand-out models in the series which include models from the 5600 series all the way to the 5800 series.

AMD Athlon II X2 255 Dual Core 3.1GHz Processor Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the AMD Athlon II X2 255 Dual Core 3.1GHz Processor

The AMD Athlon II X2 255 had a more than solid performance when putting through the paces today. It may not have performed as well as the Quad Core processors did, but keep in mind it is a dual core processor. When I ran the benchmarks on 1 core of each processor I was astonished to see the performance. The AMD Athlon II X2 255 was at or near the top of the list in those benchmarks. It was also able to overclock to 3.95GHz on air cooling, which is impressive for a $75 processor...

CiragoTV Platinum CMC2000 500GB Network Multimedia Player Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the CiragoTV Platinum CMC2000 500GB Network Multimedia Player

Today for review I've got another multi-media player from Cirago. The product is called the CiragoTV Platinum CMC2000 Network Multimedia Player and it does come with a hard drive, a choice of 500gb or 1TB in capacity, I got the 500gb version for review. I've looked at two other Cirago media players here on TestFreaks but this one is actually a NAS box as well which can be connected wired or wireless. The box itself uses a 3.5" hard drive inside and has connections for pretty much everything including component, composite and HDMI along with optical and coax as well. The CMC2000 even includes a card reader and two USB ports so you can view pictures or play your files from them quickly and easily.

EnhanceTech TS800 IP Review
Maximum CPU posted a review on the EnhanceTech TS800 IP

The EnhanceTech TS800 IP is an enterprise-level solution for iSCSI attached storage. Resembling a full-size ATX case, the TS800 contains three gigabit network controllers, an on-board computer and web server, a RAID controller capable of level 6 arrays, and a hot-swap backplane with room for 8 SATA drives. The novel aspect here is the use of the iSCSI standard, essentially using an existing TCP/IP network infrastructure to pass packets of data that mimic a more traditional SAS solution. Part of this process is specialized software on the client end to attach the device as a volume.

The TR4UT from Sans Digital is a strong contender in the external storage market.

A-DATA 8GB Nobility S805 USB 2.0 Flash Drive Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the A-DATA 8GB Nobility S805 USB 2.0 Flash Drive

The 8GB A-DATA Nobility S805 USB thumb drive has some nice design features that make it handy to carry around. The read speeds are commendable but how about the writes? We put the drive to the test and see if it's worthy of your economy depressed dollars.

Offered in both grey and red finishes, each wrapped in a reflective zinc alloy frame, the A-DATA Nobility S805 is a very attractive looking device. Its heft, at 25g (.88oz), is substantial for its size and certainly gives the perception that this is a well constructed and rugged piece of hardware. It comes packaged with nothing other than a warranty information brochure and is available in capacities ranging from 4GB to 16GB...

Patriot Box Office Media Player Review
TestFreaks takes a look at the Patriot Box Office Media Player

Today I've got another media player review for you, I figured why not follow the CiragoTV Platinum CMC2000 Network Media Player with the Patriot Box Office review. You could call it a tale of two media boxes, not only is this a review of the Box Office but a comparison to the new CiragoTV CMC2000 media center. The Patriot Box Office might not be able to do all of the things the CiragoTV can but it's a great product in its own right, in fact I like it better. The Box Office is a small media player that can use a 2.5" hard drive or not, it can play directly from your network or right off of a USB drive. The Box Office is also a NAS box of sorts and it even has a built-in Bitorrent client so you can use it instead of your computer for your torrents if you wish. So read on to learn more about what I think is an excellent media center, and see how it compares to the CiragoTV CMC2000 media player
