Antec Truepower New 750W Power Supply Review
JonnyGURU.com posted Antec Truepower New 750W Power Supply Review

In the many forums I frequent, I sometimes see people wishing they could afford one of Antec's high end Signature units and yet not quite willing to go for one of the Truepower Trio models. Well, Antec's decided to freshen up the Truepower line once more, and they've just released the brand new Truepower New series. These are 80 Plus certified units that promise to bring the Truepower name closer in quality to the Signatures while still keeping the price affordable.

Hiper S625 PSU Review
Driverheaven posted a review on the Hiper S625 PSU

Hiper have three different series of PSUs, the Type-R MKII series consisting of modular high performance units, the Type-M series consisting of non-modular high performance units and the Type-S series consisting of simpler, mainstream units. We reviewed most of the Type-R and Type-M ranges in the past couple of years, but today we are going to take our very first look at their new S series with the S625 unit. The S625 is capable of handling a continuous power output of up to 625W and offers a rather wide range of features for a very alluring price tag. We will examine the features and the performance of the S625 in this review.

AMD Athlon X2 7750 Review
iXBT Labs posted a review on the AMD Athlon X2 7750 CPU

As we could expect from a budget product for less than $100, Athlon X2 7750 turned out to be a practical solution. This processor is not much faster in general. But in a number of tests, including popular games and archivers, this processor looks much better than Pentium E5200.

Proporta Universal Emergency Charger Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Proporta Universal Emergency Charger Travel Kit

While normally at XSR we deal with PC hardware only, we occasionally get an interesting gadget of sorts to check out. Recently I was contacted by a company called Proporta to review some of their products; being the greedy git I am, accepted. Today I'll be checking out their Emergency Universal Charger. A handy little gadget that fits in your pocket while carrying a large charge. Let's see if we can figure out how to test this.

Cooler Master Sileo 500 Mid Tower Chassis Review
EXTREME Overclocking has just posted a review on the Cooler Master Sileo 500 Mid Tower Chassis.

The Cooler Master Sileo 500 at first glance seems like your basic no frills steel case. It’s the first case I have seen in a long time that didn’t have side windows, or side vents, or anything of the sort. Its simplicity is almost a thing of beauty. A nice flat black paintjob coupled with nice clean lines give this case a modernized feel of a classic case design.

Creative Gigaworks T40 Series II reviewed
ITreviewed takes a look at the Creative Gigaworks T40 Series II

Creative's GigaWorks T40 Series II are excellent value and sound really impressive. However, serious music listeners or those creating their own music should spend more (about three times in fact) and get a pair of mini-monitors that will offer better clarity, neutrality, and overall balance. The GigaWorks T40 Series IIs also struggle with composure at high volume levels, but you can't complain too much considering the price. Hardly hi-fi or luxurious, the speakers are nonetheless compact, well built, and they sound great for general computer usage and when hooked up to an MP3 player.

Antec Fusion Remote Max HTPC Enclosure Review
Metku.net took a closer look at Antec's latest HTPC Enclosure - The Antec Fusion Remote Max.

Like the Sonata Elite, also the Fusion Remote Max is an updated version of a case we've already reviewed on Metku.net once before. While the Sonata Elite still followed the footprints of its predecessors, the Fusion Max goes a bit further and the internal layout is redone to take full-size ATX motherboards.

Rbmods posted a review on the Kodak Zi6 Pocket Camera

Like digital still cameras, digital video cameras are becoming smaller yet more capable. Many companies now offer video cameras that can record with HD quality yet also can fit in your pocket. But can these pocket cameras produce decent video, and are they all alike? Geeks.com, popular online retailer, sent us one such camera, the Kodak Zi6 1.6MP Digital Pocket Video HD Camera. Let's find out how it stacks up against the competition in this review.

In Win NA 3.5" External HDD Enclosure Review
Virtual-Hideout takes a look at the In Win NA 3.5" External HDD Enclosure

When I first saw the In Win NA at CES, my first impression was somewhere between intrigue and confusion. At a distance, you couldn't tell what it was exactly. But, it had to be something tech related being that it was CES. Sitting there on the table was what appeared to be a white porcelain storage container of sorts. It was the small white button and wire cut outs that suggested it was more than just any container, but a hard drive enclosure. At first glance, even my wife wondered what motivation was behind such a concept. And, she wondered what makes it so different from the countless other enclosures that have been on the test bench. Once it was assembled and set in the perfect spot on the desk, it suddenly revealed its value and purpose.

ASUS GeForce ENGTX295 Graphics Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the ASUS GeForce ENGTX295 Graphics Card

Today we're going to take the time to look at the ASUS version and while the card itself might not carry anything that we haven't already seen, we will see how the card is performing with a driver refreshment while also putting it up against its little brother, the single GPU GTX 285.

Before we get stuck into all that, though, we first need to see what ASUS has done to the package and bundle and see if it can stand out from the pack that way. From there we will have a closer look at the card itself before we get stuck into our testbed and have a look at just what kind of numbers the GTX 295 is dishing out.

Hardware Logic posted a review on the AMA Aragon 900 Liquid Cooling System

The Aragon 900 comes with a dominant visual appeal most enthusiasts will likely love. But sometimes looks can be deceiving (like that hottie across the way you later discovered had a creepy manly voice). Of course, our primary concern is with performance, and we already know what hardware the Aragon 900 is packing. Join us as we strap this water cooler to our test bench for the ride of its life.

For this review I will be looking at a new product from possibly one of the best-known names in the computer hardware business, akasa. The product I will be looking at is the akasa elite, a card reader with a difference as it can also read sim cards and smart cards.

Spire TherMax II CPU Cooler Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Spire TherMax II CPU Cooler

A CPU is at the heart of every computer, laptops and desktops alike, and although the solutions may be different, everyone of those CPU's has some sort of cooling device on it. Laptop coolers are small and quiet, and although there are some desktop coolers that are like this, most of them tend to be a bit bigger and noisier. As you enter the enthusiast and gamer cooling markets, the solutions perform better, tend to be bigger and louder, and most often look cool.

Spire has shown up with the TherMax II CPU cooler that is compatible with every mainstream socket out on the market today. The Spire cooler looks unique, but at the same time somewhat reminds of the TRUE. No matter what it looks like, the most important thing is that it does it job well, and that job is to keep the CPU cool.

Kingston HyperX DDR3 3GB 2GHz Memory Kit KHX16000D3K3/3GX Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Kingston HyperX DDR3 3GB 2GHz Memory Kit KHX16000D3K3/3GX

When Intel introduced the Core i7 processor they raised the memory stakes by implementing triple channel memory capability. Instead of two matched pairs of memory sticks, the new x58 motherboards can use matched memory sticks in sets of three. Kingston, known for their acclaimed HyperX memory line have released the Kingston HyperX DDR3 2GHz triple channel memory kit to provide performance memory for the Intel Core i7 platform.
