Proluma Deluxe Triple LCD Stand Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Proluma Deluxe Triple LCD Stand

Since the release of Eyefinity, we've seen a larger push for multi screen setups. Sure, the technology has been around for years and years; I was using a dual 17" CRT setup back in the day myself which was always fun. But what ATI have done is make the technology a bit more mainstream. Sure, Matrox did it a few years ago with the TripleHead2Go, but they don't have the same weight as a company like ATI.

Eyefinity has brought with it a more mainstream push for multi screen setups. What we're seeing is companies working on getting bezels thinner and other ways to make the technology simply better. Something that was lacking was high quality monitor stands for three-monitor setups. Having a look around eBay we found some cheap ones that promised support for 24" monitors, but didn't actually support them. You can find a few floating around the U.S. market, but they're extremely expensive and it doesn't help people in other parts of the world.

Intel Core i7 980X Extreme Six-Core CPU Review
Hardcoreware posted a review on the Intel Core i7 980X Extreme Six-Core CPU

Today Intel launched a new CPU based on their newest 32nm process technology codenamed "Gulftown". It is an "Extreme" CPU both in name and price - weighing in at 3.33 GHz (base, Turbo hits up to 3.60 GHz) with six individual cores (and thanks to HyperThreading that means twelve threads) and 12MB of shared L3 cache, the Core i7 980X Extreme Edition will set you back a bit over $1000 when it hits e-store e-shelves this week.

We put it to the test against the identically clocked (and nearly identically priced) Core i7 975 Extreme, and a handful of other $500+ processors to see how it competes in today's applications (we threw in a Phenom II for good measure, too).

Lenovo ThinkPad T410 Review
HotHardware.Com posted a review on the Lenovo ThinkPad T410

Lenovo proved at the Consumer Electronics Show in January that it wasn't messing around when it comes to latest generation of notebook technologies.

The company has a vast array of options, from tiny to huge, and they span the gamut from casual road warriors to hardcore business users. There's also a machine or two in there for the gaming and multimedia crowd, though you probably wouldn't guess that the ThinkPad T410 was in that category at first glance. This machine, along with the T410s, T510 and W510, received notable upgrades just last month, with Intel's latest Core i5 and Core i7 processors hopping on board to give the classically tough and plain ThinkPad line a much-needed breath of life.

The T410 that we're reviewing today is a ThinkPad through and through. From top to bottom, side to side, there's no mistaking that this is a member of the iconic ThinkPad family...

Samsung SCX-4623F Mono Laser Multifunction Review
DreamWare Computers posted a review on the Samsung SCX-4623F Mono Laser Multifunction

The multi-function printer market is one of the few areas of computer peripherals that we don't see overnight changes in. There isn't a lot that can be done to this type of a device - it can't be made smaller because paper won't shrink and there isn't any "cutting edge" functionality that can be added because the printer and copier market hasn't had much to revolutionize on in the past few years. This makes for some stiff competition and leaves manufacturers with only the little features and the price to feature ratio to "wow" potential buyers with. Today, the Samsung SCX-4623F is paying us a visit to give us a sampling of some of Samsung's latest laser printer innovations.

Thermaltake Silent 1156 CPU Cooler Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Thermaltake Silent 1156 CPU Cooler

Although released in August of 2009, there is little doubt that heatsink manufacturers like Thermaltake are receiving more interest in their Socket 1156 solutions thanks to Intel's release of the new Core processor family at CES back in January. Based on a new 32nm manufacturing technology, these new processors produce much less heat than their 45nm counterparts. But like every heatsink provider, Thermaltake knows there are users who want better-than-stock performance without sacrificing noise or sinking a lot of money into a cooling solution (no pun intended). Does the $29 Thermaltake Silent 1156 fit into this mold?

Seagate 2TB Barracuda XT SATA6 Desktop Hard Drive ST32000641AS Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Seagate 2TB Barracuda XT SATA6 Desktop Hard Drive ST32000641AS

The majority of PC users out there have regular mechanical hard drives in their computers, it's going to be a long time before SSDs replace them. Hard drive companies like Seagate know this and they're not going to stop improving the technology, with the introduction of the new SATA 3 interface we're starting to see hard drives to go with it. The first company out the door with one was Seagate, and it's a big one coming in at 2 Terabytes in size called the Barracuda XT, and that's what I've got for review today. The Barracuda XT is not only the first SATA 3 capable drive but it's one of the fastest on the market today even with the SATA 2 interface. I've put the Barracuda XT up against three other hard drive including the Western Digital Caviar Black, a Hitachi and one from Samsung.

Lexmark Interact S605 All in One Inkjet Printer Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Lexmark Interact S605 All in One Inkjet Printer

Today for review I've got another printer for you, it's an All-in-one from Lexmark called the Interact S605. The S605 is not a bad printer, the print quality is very good for everything, photos come out beautiful, and the regular printing is very good as well. This printer is a networked printer over wireless, but it can also connect to the internet and you can view newsfeeds and access other things from the internet right on the display. The display is a nice and large 4.3" touch screen display, it's color and it's even animated as well for some things. As a printer it's not bad, but I ran across some issues with it that didn't make me too happy, I even had to call tech support at one point, so read on to learn more

Neoseeker takes a look at the PowerColor HD 5830 PCS+

First let's take a look at the HD 5830 PCS+'s cooler, which appears to be a massive finned brick. It's actually one of the biggest coolers I've seen on a video card. The bulk of it is a nice hefty chunk of finned aluminum. There is a huge amount of surface area, so we should be able to expect a great deal of heat dissipation.

Axus FiT RAID 500 Storage Device Review
ThinkComputers.org posted Axus FiT RAID 500 Storage Device Review

I myself have not played around with a RAID setup as Ive never had more than 1 of the same hard drive kicking around to try it out. I have seen RAID in action and some of my buddies love to have RAID setups, but Ive never really looked into it until now. When asked what I wanted to look at next in terms of product reviews, I wanted to look at a storage system with redundant capabilities. In my head I thought some sort of RAID system. Bob got back to me and asked if I wanted to look at a RAID enclosure made by a company called Axus. I got to choose between a 3-disk setup and a 5-disk setup, naturally I choose the 5-disk setup known as the FiT 500.

Thermaltake V3 Black Edition Review
OCC has published a review on the Thermaltake V3 Black Edition

All in all, this case is not a bad case at all. It stood right with the competition in three out of four of the tests. Not only that, but compared to the similarly priced NZXT Gamma, the V3 sported more features - including an external 3.5" bay, rear LED fan, and the small window on the side panel. Like the Gamma, the V3 is all black. It is interesting that the specifications mention no water cooling support and yet there appear to be holes in the rear of the case to accommodate this.

QNAP NMP-1000 Network Media Player Review
APH Networks has published a new review on the QNAP NMP-1000 Network Media Player

When I started to plan the upcoming review schedule for APH Networks early last month, the influx of new network media players onto the market really caught my attention. Providing more digital media integration with your living room audio/video equipment than ever before, long gone are the days when we were restricted to watching certain videos on our computers only, or swapping a bunch of CDs every time you wanted to listen to those songs on the big system. Last month, we reviewed the Patriot Box Office network media player, which delivered excellent media compatibility for a very low price of admission, but failed to provide the kind of experience users would come to expect for a home entertainment device. Inevitably, there are compromises due to its cost. At the same time, I also began testing QNAP's NMP-1000 network media player. QNAP is known for making absolutely brilliant network appliances in both performance and reliability, such as the QNAP TS-439 Pro network attached storage system we examined back in September last year. But here's the thing: The QNAP NMP-1000 retails for $400 at press time -- effectively four times the price of products such as Asus' O!Play and the Patriot Box Office as aforementioned. It is probably no surprise that you are wondering at this point what makes the NMP-1000 so much more expensive than other products that carry out pretty much the same tasks. And you know what? I was asking the same question before I got my hands on these products as well, haha. Is the QNAP NMP-1000 truly the ultimate, no compromise, fully featured high performance network appliance with multimedia features for the home user to justify its price tag, or will it fail to hold its own against the competition? To answer all these questions and address everything else in a detailed and thorough manner, well, let me present to you this week's review!

Kingston V+ SNVP325-S2 128GB Review
PureOverclock has published a review of the Kingston V+ SNVP325-S2 128GB SSD.

The Kingston SNVP325-S2 is a 2nd generation SSD that uses Toshiba internals to boost performance and support TRIM out of the box. We do love that, no question. Flashing, firmware, and TRIM can be confusing to consumers, and it's nice to see that Kingston has eliminated that potential anxiety. We've seen some very fast SSDs, and the Indilinx-based drives have proven extremely popular amongst enthusiasts. But Kingston has been working diligently to penetrate further into the marketplace via Intel-rebadged drives, and they've had a couple hit and misses, but this new Toshiba drive looks very impressive from its specifications. But it is in a tough segment in the mainstream SSD market.

Razer Imperator Gaming Mouse and Vespula Mouse Mat Video Review

In our video review the first product we look at is the right-handed only Razer Imperator gaming mouse. I’ve had the pleasure of using Razer gaming mice in the past, but it had been some time since I got my hands on the latest and greatest. The Imperator is a 3.5G laser mouse and is marketed as being the mouse for control, comfort and customization.

Second up in the video is the Razer Vespula gaming mouse mat. For a long time I’ve been using a very large OCZ mouse pad that was given to me a while ago and it’s been fine for basic Windows productivity. It’s been a while since I’ve used a proper gaming pad which includes the vast amount of features as the Vespula.

Radeon HD5830 DirectX-11 Gaming Performance
Benchmark Reviews takes a look at the Radeon HD5830 DirectX-11 Gaming Performance

Most of the discussion surrounding the Radeon HD5830 video card has been about its performance relative to its two nearest neighbors in the ATI lineup. People are falling over backwards trying to get a fix on its which side of the fence the 5830 belongs: closer to the HD5770, or nearer to the HD5850. In Benchmark Reviews' recent evaluation of the HD5830, we compared it to a wide variety of video cards, including several that are not compatible with Microsoft's DirectX-11. Our DirectX-10 testing provided a level playing field for all the video cards, so we could make a fair comparison with older graphics cards that readers may currently be using, and the current models from NVIDIA that are limited to DX10. Still, gamers are itching to see how the new crop of cards would fare with DX11 enabled. So then, let's find out, shall we?
