Coolink GFXChilla VGA Cooler Review
DragonSteelMods.com posted Coolink GFXChilla VGA Cooler Review

Up on the block today is the GFXChilla VGA Cooler from Coolink and I've tested it with my ATI X1800GTO video card and with my two Nvidia 8600GTS video cards as well. I've got comparison results with the GFXChilla going up against names like Thermalright, Arctic Cooling, Aerocool and of course the stock coolers. One thing cool (pun intended) about the GFXChilla is that it is small and able to be used with my Nvidia cards in SLI. From my testing I've found that the GFXChiila is virtually silent and performs extremely well, especially if you consider just how small it is.

New IE8 beta 1 tantalizes, rough edges and all
Ars Technica posted a review on IE8 Beta 1

To coincide with the first day of MIX08, the first beta of Internet Explorer 8 has been released. The big feature is, of course, better standards compliance, and to this IE8 adds a few small bells and whistles. This release is aimed squarely at developers so that they can get a head start on preparing their pages for the new browser; a later beta will be more suitable for a wide audience.

ECS GeForce 9600GT Accelero 512MB Review
TweakTown posted a review on the ECS GeForce 9600GT Accelero 512MB

As the 9600GT cards continue to roll on in, we see lots of variants trying to stand out from the pack. The latest card to rock up in the labs is an offering from ECS that carries with it an Accelero S2 made by Artic Cooling.

We’ve compared the ECS 9600GT against the Galaxy 9600GT which is slightly lower on the core and a fair bit lower on the shader clock. The Galaxy memory clock does come in a little higher though.

techPowerUp posted a review on the Powercolor HD 3650 Xtreme 512 MB video card

AMD's new HD 3650 is basically an improved version of the 2600 XT without any major technological advances other than a smaller die size resulting in cheaper cards. PowerColor's HD 3650 Extreme comes equipped with 512 MB of fast GDDR3 memory and runs at higher clocks than the AMD reference design.

Nokia E90 Communicator Review
Techbitch posted a review on the Nokia E90 Communicator smartphone

Overall the E90 is a fantastic smartphone if you prefer its form factor over Nokia's also excellent E61i. Its size and styling won't appeal to consumers, but for no-fuss business users needing to stay in touch with the office and customers, it can't be beaten.

Cooler Master Cosmos S Full-Tower Case Review
PC Perspective posted a review on the Cooler Master Cosmos S Full-Tower Case

Cooler Master certainly out did themselves when they redesigned the Cosmos full-tower enclosure. The new black and gunmetal gray color scheme with sleek curves and futuristic styling borrows queues from both race cars and starships. The overall size and look is retained from the original Cosmos 1000 but numerous styling changes have been implemented on all sides and the Cosmos S is noticeably lighter thanks to a new aluminum chassis.

Cooler Master Cosmos S Case Review
3D Game Man posted a review on the Cooler Master Cosmos S Case

The Cooler Master Cosmos S Case is mostly aluminum except for a few plastic parts. Despite this it's still fairly heavy but this is due to its large size. It comes in a gunmetal gray color with black brushed aluminum side panels. This color combo looks very sharp and should match most home/office setups. This case has great styling and build quality, excellent air circulation, lots of room to work, plenty of drive bays, and much more. This is one of the top cases on the market.

HIS Radeon HD 3850 IceQ 3 TurboX 512MB graphics card Review
Bit-Tech published a review of the HIS Radeon HD 3850 IceQ 3 TurboX 512MB graphics card

The HIS Radeon HD 3850 IceQ 3 TurboX 512MB is an interesting card that improves on the ATI reference design in many areas. In particular, the clock speed increase is an impressive one that takes the cards performance characteristics up to a level where its not too far behind the Radeon HD 3870 reference card in many cases. We also like the cooling solution and for those that are fans of the Arctic Cooling Silencer coolers, you wont have to spend extra on one if thats what youre looking for.

Saitek GM2400 Laser Mouse Review
OCC has published a new review of the Saitek GM2400 Laser Mouse

The next factor we are going to take a look at is comfort. There are a few things I noticed the moment I took a hold of the GM2400; the plastic on top feels very cheap, and the side buttons were right where I wanted to rest my thumb. The mouse, because of the cheap feeling plastic, was not enjoyable to use and felt like it would break if I handled it with too much force. Also, the buttons being placed on the side where my thumb wanted to rest made me need to almost hover my thumb instead of squeeze the mouse. This just felt annoying and made use of the GM2400 not as enjoyable as its brother, the GM3200, or the old Logitech, both of which seemed to use higher quality plastics. In this next graph, higher is better.

Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000 Review
Hardware Pacers has posted a review on the Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000.

The Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000 is an amazing mouse and keyboard combination that is as cool as it is functional. Similar to the Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000, but with the extra luxury of backlit ambient lighting. The cool lighting coupled with fully packed with great features and productivity enhancers, this desktop is a stylish and functional tool. Amazing features, such as a built in navigation pad that enables the user to control mouse cursor without a mouse, combined with sleek design make this desktop a winner.

Mountain Mods H2gO Aluminum Cube Case Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Mountain Mods H2gO Aluminum Cube Case.

The box the H2gO came shipped in certainly didn't match the typical computer case shipping container; a plain brown cube with no exterior markings to indicate what's inside. I always liked this about one other manufacturer, Thermalright, who for years has used plain brown boxes to pack their products in. I think it says something about the company, something to the effect of... we'd rather spend our money on making you a great product than flashy advertising on the box it comes in.

This 650 W power supply from StarTech.com looks like a very high-end unit, as it is bigger than traditional power supplies and uses a dual-transformer design, feature we've only seen on power supplies on the 1,000 W range like Enermax Galaxy 1000 W and Tagan TurboJet TG1100-U95 1,100 W. It is also cheaper than competing products from better known brands. Is it a good product? That is what we are going to find out.

A while back I took a look at a decent wireless FM transmitter for transmitting music from your portable audio player to your cars' radio, today for review I've got the 2nd version of that, aptly named the Wireless FM Transmitter Version 2. It looks and works pretty much the same as the first version but the 2nd version features a clock and a thermometer built in as well.

OCZ Reaper HPC PC2-9200 memory review
DV Hardware has published a review of the PC2-9200 Reaper HPC memory modules from OCZ.

A couple of years ago memory makers started selling memory modules with aluminum heatspreaders but these days you can already buy memory modules with relatively big cooling solutions like the OCZ FlexXLC series which features barbs for liquid cooling or the Reaper HPC modules which feature a heatpipe. These cooling solutions look pretty good and may improve overclocking performance. The subject of this review is the OCZ Reaper HPC PC-9200 memory kit, this product is clocked at 1150MHz and is OCZ's fastest air-cooled DDR2 memory kit. It's available in a 2GB kit, runs at 5-5-5-18 timings with a voltage of 2.1-2.3V and features the Reaper HPC cooling design.

ASUS VW222 22-inch Wide-Screen Review
Techgage posted a review of the ASUS VW222 22-inch display

The display market is chalked-full of models that fill up the quality spectrum, from sub-par up to high-end. The VW222 falls into the sub-par category, sadly, with overall poor color representation and noticeable screen-door effects, resulting in a model that should not be considered for purchase.

Logitech Harmony ONE Review
OCC has published a new review of the Logitech Harmony ONE

With a new remote there is always that first awkward day or two getting used to the features and location of the correct buttons for the devices you use. The Harmony One has a leg up on both the Harmony 1000 and 890 Pro. The touch screen capability one ups the 890 while the additional buttons one up the 1000. While the touch screen is smaller than the 1000, I found that with my size XXL hands I did not have any issues pushing the correct feature or setting on the touch screen. The feel of the One in my hands was actually more comfortable than the 890 Pro due to its wider dimensions and more ergonomically correct feel. It just felt better to use. The buttons are large and spread at a comfortable distance so that one handed operation is easily accomplished.
