Ultra Aluminum Hard Drive Cooler Review
Overclockers Online posted a review on the Ultra Aluminum Hard Drive Cooler

I'll be honest to say that I was quite surprise by the results. The idle temps were nearly identical but to see a 5 degree difference in load temps really surprised me. The numbers obviously speak for themselves and Ultra's Aluminum Hard Drive Cooler with Heatpipes obviously does its job well and pretty much matches the results of the stock setup in the Cosmos.

Tuniq TX-2 Thermal Compound Review
Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the Tuniq TX-2 Thermal Compound

As far as thermal grease goes, the Tuniq TX-2 is at the top of the list as it has an advantage over its competitors. That advantage is the way it spreads out over the processor. Some thermal compounds spread out like cold butter and get all clumped up, but the Tuniq TX-2 spreads out smooth like peanut butter and doesn't clump up at all. One small ribbon of paste will spread out evenly and easily over the processor.

Ideazon Merc Stealth Gaming Keyboard Review
Bit-Tech published a review of the Ideazon Merc Stealth Gaming Keyboard

I suppose it's a little ironic that a keyboard that has been crafted to target a market so specifically should succeed at everything except the genre to which it should be most suited – but that's the reality of it.

On paper, the Merc Stealth is an excellent gaming keyboard and, with time and practice, I don't doubt that gamers could learn to use it
fluidly and masterfully. The downside though is that it / /takes time and practice at all other keyboards we've looked at use a much more
sensible layout of keys that manages to be both familiar and enhanced.
