Nikon Coolpix L22 Review
TechReviewSource.com posted a review on the Nikon Coolpix L22

The Nikon Coolpix L22 is a 12-megapixel compact and portable digital camera that offers decent photo quality, a large 3-inch LCD and a solid design. However, the only average lens quality and lack of more control holds this wallet-friendly camera back from perfection.

MUKii TransImp TIP-330U3-BK USB 3.0 Drive Enclosure Review
Bigbruin.com posted a review on the MUKii TransImp TIP-330U3-BK USB 3.0 Drive Enclosure

The MUKii TransImp TIP-330U3-BK USB 3.0 drive enclosure is easy to use and simplifies the task of turning any 3.5" SATA drive into a portable device. As with other USB 3.0 devices, it is fully backwards compatible to USB 2.0; so even if you have this enclosure before you have USB 3.0 in your computer, it will still function just fine with your current USB 2.0 connections.

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 11 Review
Business Computing World published a review of the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 11

There is no doubting that the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 11 is an attractive machine both in terms of looks and price. It is light and portable and its battery life is conducive to working outside the office. However, the reflective nature of the screen may prove a challenge for some people and the somewhat cramped keyboard might make it difficult for larger hands to work comfortably. You will need to go to the top of the range to get the better processor and RAM configuration, and even then you will need to be able to survive without an optical drive-or factor an external one into the budget. There is no fingerprint reader and this, in the end, could be the deal breaker for many corporate users.

Gigabyte X58-USB3 Intel X58 Motherboard Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Gigabyte X58-USB3 Intel X58 Motherboard

With the release of the Sandy Bridge processors and Intel’s P67 chipset you may think that X58 systems are done with, but they are really not. If you are a hardcore gamer or PC enthusiast who wants to get the most out of their CPU the X58 platform is still your best bet. It is also the only platform to support triple channel memory and Intel’s Core i7 processors. The thing that holds many people back from getting a X58 system is the price of the components. Well Gigabyte knows this and has released the X58-USB3 board that is a lower-priced board that still has all the great features you want with an X58 setup. Let’s take a look…

Auzen X-Meridian 7.1 2G soundcard Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the Auzen X-Meridian 7.1 2G soundcard

With a name like X-Meridian 2G, the guys at Auzentech have a tough act to follow, is the design up to the task? Today in the Guru3D Audio Lab we have a brand new Auzentech X-Meridian 7.1 2G, so let's get to it and see if Auzentech can release a new version of a legendary audio card.

The original X-Meridian marked a dramatic shift in the market and peoples understanding of these devices. Since the XM was focused on sound and component quality, new users started taking notice of what was actually on their cards instead of just what features they offered.

SilverStone Strider Gold 750W Power Supply Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the SilverStone Strider Gold 750W Power Supply

When Jakob visited SilverStone at CES 2011 earlier this month, they had on display their latest series of Strider Gold power supplies, and we are happy to have for review today the 750W model. The 750W Strider Gold has many of the same specifications as the 750W Strider Plus (Silver) such as a 750W continuous rating at 40°C, all modular cables, single +12V rail, 19dBA 135mm variable speed fan, 2200uF capacitors on the PCI-E cables and all the same protection features. How the 750W Strider Gold differs from the 750W Strider Plus, aside from the name, is primarily in its greater efficiency.

Lian Li PC-V354 Review
ocaholic posted a review on the Lian Li PC-V354

With the PC-V354 Lian Li has a m-ATX case in it's portfolio which should offer a lot of space for hardware for such a compact enclosure. Especially regarding the hard drives Lian Li seems to have made its homework. Of course, like with all Lian Li cases the timeless design alone would be reason enough to wirte an entire review.

Thermaltake Frio OCK CPU Cooler Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Thermaltake Frio OCK CPU Cooler

Anyone who has gone looking for a CPU cooler knows there are a ton of choices on the market. In most instances, you the buyer, have some prerequisites to the purchase of any cooler. Things like noise level, appearance, and fit are top of the list in most instances. On the flip side of things, there are a bunch of guys who don't really care what it looks like, or if it will fit in a case, as likely they are using some sort of test bench. What matters most to these users is performance and if they can set new records with the use of a newly released air cooler.

I know there are plenty of users out there who outright doubt the name Thermaltake, and at first glance will render this cooler a farce based on the name of the manufacturer, and always refer to old issues that this company has long since dealt with. In recent months Thermaltake has dropped quite a few quality products on the market, and just to stay in air cooling terms, the Frio and Jing coolers did very well in both overclocking capabilities and low noise level cooling, respectively. For those naysayers and those who already know that Thermaltake has a good hold in the market with impressive offerings, may just have to pick up their chins from your desk after reading this review.

XFX Pro Series Core Edition Power Supplies Review
OCC has published a review on the XFX Pro Series Core Edition Power Supplies

The XFX Pro Series Core Edition power supplies performed very well across the range. The DC voltage load regulation was excellent from 20% to 100% DC loading and in combination with very low AC ripple/noise levels means excellent DC quality on all rails on all three power supplies. The 3V3 and 5V0 rails dipped a little lower than I would have liked but they still remained well within the limits set down by the ATX12V V2.2 specification and won't prove to be a problem when the biggest dip below ideal rail voltage was only 0.09V.

ASUS GeForce GTX 570 Direct CU II Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the ASUS GeForce GTX 570 Direct CU II

ASUS is expanding their triple-slot cooler graphics card lineup. Their GeForce GTX 570 Direct CU II offers amazingly low noise levels as well as low operating temperatures in both idle and 3D. ASUS has also increased to clock speeds out of the box, even though the increase is only minimal. But with a price increase of just $10 there is not much to complain about.

Inno3D GTX570 1.25GB Review
Vortez posted a review on the Inno3D GTX570 1.25GB

The GTX570 appears to be an amalgamation of several graphics cards in one on first impressions. Firstly, it features the tweaked GF110 core found in the GTX580. Like the GTX480, it has one stream multiprocessor disabled for a total of 480 CUDA cores and 60 texture units. And lastly, it sports the same memory bus and memory/ROP count of the GTX470, the latter feature being intrinsically to the memory. To compensate for the cut down core, the clock speeds have been increased to 732MHz on the core and 3800MHz on the memory. It is officially destined to be the spiritual successor to the GTX470, fitting in the same power envelope but from a performance standpoint, it is equivalent to the GTX480 without the drawbacks.

Kingston DT Ultimate 3.0 32GB Review
XSReviews have reviewed the Kingston DT Ultimate 3.0 32GB pen drive

Kingston have long been known for producing high quality memory products, from laptop/desktop memory to flash drives and SSDs. What we have today falls into the flash drive category. It's a 32GB USB 3.0 version of the DataTraveler series, the DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0. Available in 16, 32 and 64GB versions and boasting some pretty quick read/write speeds it certainly looks impressive but how does it really do? Let's take a look.

Gateway DX4320-45 Review
TechReviewSource.com posted a review on the Gateway DX4320-45

The Gateway DX4320-45 exists as a middle child between the "lower end" small form factor (SFF) SX series, and the high-end gaming-oriented FX series. Like a stereotypical middle child, it's way too easy to look at this desktops shortcomings in comparison to its siblings, and that's the problem.

Cooler Master Storm Spawn: The Red-Black Fury
InsideHW.com has reviewed Cooler Master Storm Spawn mouse

As evident from the title, Cooler Master’s Storm Spawn comes in a combination of red and black colour. The scroll wheel and all buttons are matted black; according to Cooler Master, Omron microswitches were used to manufacture these, which guarantees at least five million clicks - a mind-boggling piece of information, sufficient on its own to make you want to buy this mouse. The rest of the mouse’s upper body is coloured glossy red, which really has an effect on the overall visual impact…
