Zalman Z9 Plus Mid-Tower Case Review
Bigbruin.com has published a review on the Zalman Z9 Plus Mid-Tower Case

Over the years, Zalman cases have won many awards, but for many users their cases were just too expensive to justify. Zalman recognized this and set out to offer cases that everybody could afford, without sacrificing their typical quality. The Zalman Z9 Plus is one of these lower cost cases that manages to offer features usually found only on more expensive cases.

Logitech HD Webcam C510 Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Logitech HD Webcam C510

Up on the review block today I’ve got another HD webcam from Logitech, the C510. A little bit ago I looked at the C910, which is pretty much the top end camera, this C510 is more middle range offering 720P resolution. The resolution is lower but the features are the same like pan, tilt and zoom and numerous special effects. The C510 even includes a nice little carrying case so you can take it with you and keep it protected.

Jabra CRUISER2 Bluetooth Speaker Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Jabra CRUISER2 Bluetooth Speaker

Over the last few years we've seen that talking on your mobile phone while driving is clearly unsafe to the point where you now lose points and get a fine for doing so. Of course, if you use a Bluetooth headset it's not a problem and gives you the ability to answer any phone calls while driving.

The problem with headsets, though, is they're a pain in the butt sometimes. I'm not a big fan of having stuff stuck in my ears, just like most people, and really I only need the ability of a Bluetooth headset when driving. When walking around I'm happy to just hold my phone and talk, plus come on, walking around with Bluetooth headsets went out a few years back. So what do you do? Well, hopefully you grab yourself the Jabra CRUISER2. We say hopefully because we need to check and see if it's any good first. Looking at the package, we've got a fairly good idea of what we're dealing with.

Evercool FIT Notebook Cooler Review
DreamWare Computers posted a review on the Evercool FIT Notebook Cooler

Looking to miniaturize laptop cooling into something a little more travel friendly, Evercool has come out with the FIT cooler. The FIT sits firmly against your laptop's exhaust vent and helps to suck away hot air, hoping to keep internal temperatures lower for more efficient cooling. The FIT is an interesting looking device, so can it's small size and small price really make it a worthwhile investment?

Enermax Hoplite Mid Tower Case Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Enermax Hoplite Mid Tower Case

Today we are looking at the newest mid-tower case offering from Enermax called Hoplite. On paper the Hoplite has loads of features like hot swap bays, hard drive dock, and even ability to have a 2x120 radiator installed internally. So join us as we give the Hoplite a good looking over and see just what it does have to offer.

The Enermax Hoplite has loads of features. It can hold up to six 120mm fans, hot swap bays, external hard drive dock, SSD support, and the very important off switch for the LED fan. It has plenty of room as well. The Hoplite ECA3220 can accommodate video cards up to 315mm (13.77”) long. It can also support CPU coolers up to 178mm tall without side panel fans, 160mm with side panel fans. So that means just about any CPU cooler on the market will fit in the Hoplite series and can still use the side panel fans...

Diamond USB PC to TV HDMI Adapter Review
OCC has published a review on the Diamond USB PC to TV HDMI Adapter

One of the main features being advertised with the Diamond USB PC to TV HDMI Adapter is giving your Netbook or Macbook the ability to connect to your Flat Screen TV via an HDMI cable. Well, the Netbook that I had is an ASUS Eee PC 1000HA which only comes with an analog display output for an external monitor. That is all fine and dandy if you are not planning on hooking it up to your TV, however if you wanted a quick and simple way to watch a video that is streaming over the internet, such as YouTube or Hulu, you are not going to be able to do that from the ASUS Eee PC 1000HA. That is where the Diamond adapter comes in. I will install the software on my Netbook and see how well it is able to connect to my setup in my living room. This did work perfectly, as I was able to install the software on the Eee PC and connect it to my Philips 42" Plasma TV in my living room and was able to watch a YouTube video from the Overclockersclub.com

Brother HL2270-DW Laser Printer Review
Maximum CPU has posted a review of the Brother HL2270-DW Laser Printer

Brother’s small/home office laser printer line has been on the bench before, but the HL2270-DW is the newest offering with the widest set of features. The “DW” in the model name indicated a duplexing printer with wireless networking. For an inexpensive model, these are extremely rare features to see. It purports a maximum Black/White print speed of 27ppm, and a resolution of 1200dpi. We’ll put it through its’ paces and see how it performs.

Lucid Hydra Performance Review on the AMD Platform
PC Perspective posted a Lucid Hydra Performance Review on the AMD Platform

Several years back we were introduced to the Lucid Hydra technology, and it seemed like an impressive multi-GPU implementation which could leverage the power of different video card combinations to improve performance over that of one card. Quite a few years have passed, and we have a handful of motherboards now supporting this technology. We take a look at the technology now implemented on the AMD side, and how it performs when using both AMD and NVIDIA based video cards.

XPAND X103 Universal 3D Glasses Review
MissingRemote posted a review on the XPAND X103 Universal 3D Glasses

This wouldn’t be so bad if the glasses were inexpensive, but with glasses costing over $100 each, not too many consumers are going to be stockpiling glasses for a rare group viewing. Furthermore, those 3D glasses might be worthless if a 2nd 3D display or replacement 3D display is purchased from another manufacturer. This is where XPAND steps in and attempts to alleviate the problem with their line of universal 3D glasses. Today, we’ll be taking a look at the XPAND X103 universal 3D glasses.
