TrustedReviews have a feature about adjusting your colour photos to create
great looking black and white versions.

Although colour photography is far more popular these days, there’s still something very attractive about nice black and white print. However you've probably noticed that if you simply set your camera to black & white, or convert a colour image to greyscale (removing the colour information) using your image editing software, the resulting image looks very flat and uninteresting.

TrustedReviews looked at the Logitech MX610 Left-Hand Cordless Mouse

The mouse is a pretty good looking device with a silver, grey, and black finish and most excitingly for the left handed user, has lots of sexy curves, something that we’ve previously been starved of when it comes to mouse action. There are seven buttons on its surface, which all fall neatly under the reach of the index finger.

bit-tech.net posted an AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Review

Yesterday morning, AMD announced what is probably its final member of the K8 family. The Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is AMD's first socket AM2 processor to break through the 3GHz barrier. In the wake of AMD's latest round of price cuts, the X2 6000+ has an attractive price, but does that make it a good buy?

Bigbruin.com has posted a new review on the CyberHome 6-Speaker Surround Sound Headphone System

The CyberHome 6-Speaker Surround Sound Headphone System offers some what of a mixed bag. They are very affordable, look good, sound great, and are the most comfortable headphones I have ever had the pleasure of wearing. Despite the positive points, the headphones seem to suffer from a lack of quality.

techPowerUp posted a review on the Xigmatek AIO S80DP

Xigmatek is a new company churning out computer cooling components. We took a look at one of their heatsinks not so long ago, and now, we have their S80 on our testbed. This is not a normal HSF by any means - it is a fusion of both air and water cooling, using dual 80 mm radiators and a 72 l/hr pump to cool your CPU. How does such an interesting concept perform? Can watercooling packed into such a small form factor be any better than standard air cooling?

Neoseeker has published a review of the Intel E4300 budget Core2Duo chip

If you go by "stock" speed vs. maximum stable overclock, the Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 is THE BEST overclock I've ever achieved - A true 100% overclock. Running a 1.8GHz chip at 3.6GHz pleases me to no end. And remember, this is a 100% stable result with the system running over 20-30hrs as we continuosly run benchmark after benchmark on it.

Available for as little as $100 this speaker set is very appealing to anyone who wants sound to kick a little harder than when it eeks out of their earbuds. But the question that must be answered is, how much bang do you really get for your buck?

The Infinite boasts a removal 2.5 inch hard drive enclosure.

TechHounds taking a look at how well the GeForce 7900GS and Radeon X1950 Pro scale when paired with a very overclockable processor like the Core 2 Duo E6300.

From the results, it would seem ATI - ahem sorry, AMD - have the better part overall. We found the Radeon X1950 Pro can still push frame rates further, in reality closer to the GeForce 7950GT. No wonder AMD is sweeping off the mainstream market.
