MSI Radeon HD 6870 1GB HAWK Overclocked Video Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the MSI Radeon HD 6870 1GB HAWK Overclocked Video Card

The HAWK series is one of my favorite, and that's mainly because it sits towards the top of the chart when it comes to what you can do with a card. At the bottom of the stack you've got your reference card. From there we introduce an overclock and over that you can start to look at custom cooling. Once you get out of that area, you're into cards like the HAWK and Lightning which utilize custom PCBs. That introduces the ability to gain an even higher overclock than other models, and when combined with MSIs own overclocking software, Afterburner, we can really reach for the skies.

Unlike the Lightning series, though, the HAWK series name is more aimed around the midrange market with one of our most recent favorites being the GTX 470 HAWK. With the release of the GTX 560 Ti, though, a lot of pressure has been applied to the mid-range AMD models and today we intend to find out what the HD 6870 HAWK can bring to the party. Before we look at the performance, though, we'll quickly look at the package and then the card itself. Once that's done we'll look at the default specifications along with what we overclocked the card to. After that the fun stuff begins and we pit the model up against a number of others to see what kind of performance we're able to achieve.

Lian Li PC-V2120 Review
Ocaholic posted a review on the Lian Li PC-V2120

Lian Li is well known for their high qualitiy aluminium comptuer cases but despite this the PC-V2120 is something special. It almost doesn't matter to which other case you compare this one to the PC-V2120 has almost no competition. Therefore we're really curious what's awaiting with this excellent looking case.

Wireless Graphics card - KFA2 GTX 460 WDHI Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the KFA2 GTX 460 WDHI wireless graphics card

One innovative product that dropped like a bomb into the market a couple of weeks ago is the KFA2/Galaxy GeForce GTX 460 WHDI with the card transmitting a wireless signal to your HDTV. An idea that originates from Intel actually, as they also have WHDI solutions these days.

But think about it, a graphics card with no monitor connectors attached to it, yet when you look at the HDTV you see your desktop in 1920x1080P perfectly clear and fine, ... all transmitted through the air. The concept surely is miraculous and even weirder, it works surprisingly well !

OCZ RevoDrive X2 PCIe Solid State Drive Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the OCZ RevoDrive X2 PCIe Solid State Drive

The RevoDrive X2 is essentially an original RevoDrive with a daughter card piggybacked on top. This daughter card adds two additional SandForce controllers and room for more memory chips, bringing the total controller count to four. A RAID0 configuration manages the four controllers and memory chips, resulting in what OCZ proclaims is a blazing fast PCIe SSD solution. We were pretty impressed with the original RevoDrive and can only wonder if the follow-up product is equally as impressive.

ASUS ENGTX560 Ti DCII TOP Video Card Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the ASUS ENGTX560 Ti DCII TOP Video Card

It's hard to believe the last time I used a Titanium NVIDIA GPU was in 2002. The GeForce GTX 560 Ti is the new boom in the "mid-end" sector. It replaces the highly overclock-able GTX 460 video card and adds extra MHz and cores increasing 20-40% performance in many games. As it could be expected, brands like ASUS, GIGABYTE or MSI will pair this GPU with a special heatsink-cooler and increase factory frequencies to sell it at a higher price. Benchmark Reviews tests the ASUS ENGTX560 Ti DCII TOP. DCII means this card now comes with an improved version of the Direct CU cooler, now with 2 fans and adding dissipation area. They also tag this product as TOP because it sports a 900MHz GPU core instead of the 822MHz from the reference design and 1050MHz instead of 1000MHz from stock. Aside from that, ASUS also bundles their very own overclocking/monitoring software to modify frequency and voltage values and add some extra performance for free. Let's have a look at the ASUS ENGTX560 Ti and check if it can be a good contender against the competition, including the highly acclaimed GeForce GTX 460.

Zotac IONITX-P-E Integrated Motherboard Review
OCC has published a review on the Zotac IONITX-P-E Integrated Motherboard

As far as the CPU is concerned, I was only able to squeeze a bit extra bringing up the cores to 1.35GHz each. While not a crazy overclock, any extra speed that is free is definitely a bonus. Since this processor has a locked multiplier I started by pushing up the voltage a bit and raising the FSB until i hit my wall of 225MHz which with a six times multiplier, yielded the 1350MHz overall clock speed.

Thermaltake Armor A30 Micro-ATX Gaming Case Review
HiTech Legion has posted a review on the Thermaltake Armor A30 Micro-ATX Gaming Case

The Thermaltake Armor A30 gaming case is essentially an updated version of a Lanbox case. The Thermaltake Armor A30 gaming case can fit either a micro-ATX or mini-ITX motherboard. Since the A30 is part of the Armor case series, it takes on the "scalene" aesthetic of its siblings. The Thermaltake A30 has a USB 3.0 front panel port as well as support for high-end video cards like the AMD HD5970 which measures 13-inches in length.

Our phones have become indispensible, they’re a huge part of our lives, they go with us everywhere, and they’ve become much more than just phones.
