EASYSHARE W1020 Wireless Digital Frame with Home Decor Kit Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the EASYSHARE W1020 Wireless Digital Frame with Home Decor Kit

What goes hand in hand with a digital camera? Well how about a digital picture frame? Kodak is offering several digital picture frames now to compliment their line of cameras, and they've sent me over one of their newest offerings for review. It's their top of the line digital picture frame, the EASYSHARE W1020 Wireless Digital Frame with Home Decor Kit. As the name suggests it's a wireless frame, which means you can connect it to your network or even the internet to get and transfer pictures to and from place to place. The Easyshare W1020 also features a large ten inch screen and a touch sensitive border for easy navigation, along with several other great features.

Kingston HyperX T1 1866 (KHX14900D3T1K3/6GX) Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Kingston HyperX T1 1866 (KHX14900D3T1K3/6GX) memory kit

We've been noticing a fluctuation on the playing field of memory and Kingston has been scoring the touchdowns right and left with their HyperX lineup. We've been keeping a close eye on the different triple channel kits available for Core i7 machines and the bandwidth has been amazing. Kingston's line of HyperX and the new Kingston T1 heatspreader have been right there at the forefront of triple channel memory technology. Providing blazing speed and massive bandwidth, and looking good doing it, the Kingston HyperX T1 1866 we have to look at today just performs better than an 1866 MHz kit of triple channel should. Easily outdistancing kits rated to run at the same speed or faster it awed and amazed us.

Kick back and relax but if you've got any loose papers laying around put a paperweight on them because this kit will blow you away.

Cooler Master Silent Pro M600 PSU Review
Driverheaven posted a review on the Cooler Master Silent Pro M600 PSU

Today we will review the 600W version of the Silent Pro M series, a slightly improved product over the 500W version of the same series which we reviewed several months ago. The Silent Pro M 500W rated very well back then, so we have high hopes for the 600W version.

Digital Storm Custom Core i7 Gaming System Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the Digital Storm Custom Core i7 Gaming System

Boutique system builders tend to fall into three categories, there are the more custom or high-end offerings from some of the larger names like Dell/Alienware or HP/Voodoo (though you may or may not classify them as "boutique"), there are offerings from large e-tailers like Tiger Direct's SystemMax, and then there are independent companies as well, obviously. A few of the major names in this third category are MainGear, Velocity Micro and the company whose product we have on the bench for you today- Digital Storm.

Digital Storm as a company has been around since 2001. It has become fairly well known in the community for building solid computer systems, primarily targeted at the enthusiast, though they also have a workstation and server product line-up as well. The company has historically taken a design approach to their products that incorporates only top shelf, standard components in an effort to offer the consumer a high quality product that is both easily serviceable and upgradeable down the road. That said, even with top shelf components, quality systems with a reasonable value and price point are not always equal to just the sum of their components. We'll step you through the salient features, performance, and value of Digital Storm's 950Si custom Core i7 gaming system and let you be the judge of what this boutique builder with a history for quality products has to offer. Check it out...

Antec 900 2 Gaming Case Review
Bjorn3D posted a review on the Antec 900 2 Gaming Case

When companies are making cases designed for gamers they tend to generally stick to three main ideas. These three things are lights, airflow, and versatility. Gamers often times have massive graphics cards that they need to fit into cases and even sometimes have up to three of these 10.5' long cards crammed into their case. Lights are there to look pretty and keep the owner happy in the sense that they can say, 'Woo, pretty lights'. Along with those pretty lights, airflow is extremely important because of the amount of hardware and the amount of heat that hardware makes. That hot air needs to be moved out of the case in order to keep the temperatures within reasonable operating limits.

The Antec 900 gaming case is one of the most used cases on the market, and Antec realized this and decided to make a few changes to try and improve on an already, seemingly, perfect design. Antec really wanted to make the case more appealing and gathered the ideas of the those who were already owners of the case and expanded upon them to come out with the Antec 900 2.

Nexus Beamair Review
Rbmods posted a review on the Nexus Beamair

Fans and cooling are something you should keep in mind when building a computer. There isn't such a thing yet as a silent yet powerful fan. Nexus has made a new and original attempt to solve that issue. Nexus Beamair is a new kind of fan duct to get everything from your fan. Let's have a look at it.

XPAD SLIM Non-slip Laptop Cooler & Heatshield Review
DragonSteelMods checked out the XPAD SLIM Non-slip Laptop Cooler & Heatshield

There are many types of laptop coolers and pads out there, but many of them are big and bulky and also many have fans in them requiring power thus draining your battery a bit quicker than normal. Quite a while back I reviewed the Xpad laptop cooler and found it to be a very nice product overall, today I've got the latest version, the Xpad Slim. The Xpad Slim is much thinner than it's predecessor, and lighter, though it is essentially the same look, an X style pattern of raised bumps that lifts your laptop up to allow better airflow under it, while at the same time shielding you legs from the heat.

Cooler Master V10 CPU Cooler Review
Techgage.com posted a review of Cooler Master's latest CPU cooler, the TEC-based V10

Have a huge chassis? Need a huge CPU cooler? Well, Cooler Master has just what you need, in the form of the TEC-based V10. This thing is massive - its almost three CPU coolers in one - but it cools better than any other air cooler we've used in the past, and it even matches our previous (and much more expensive) water-cooling setup.

Cooler Master Hyper N520 CPU Cooler Review
Bigbruin.com has posted a review on the Cooler Master Hyper N520 CPU Cooler

Overall, the cooler seems to be well made and so far the design intrigues me. The more compact size might be good for HTPCs or other computers with side panel fans that interfere with larger heatpipe towers. I just hope that the two 'smaller' fans can compete with the noise level and cooling performance of a 120mm unit.

Kingston DataTraveler 64GB Review
PureOverclock published a review of the Kingston DataTraveler 64GB USB flash drive.

Today we're looking at the Kingston DataTraveler 64GB flash drive, and to prove or dispel the notion that high capacity drives are slow, we're going to pit it against a popular and fast, smaller capacity flash drive. Inspired by Newton's proof that heavier objects do not fall faster to the ground than lighter ones, we're not convinced that large capacity flash drives transfer files slower than smaller drives. So we put it to the test, and we think you may be quite surprised with the results.

GIGABYTE M912 Convertible Tablet PC Netbook Review
Futurelooks checks out GIGABYTE's entry into the netbook race

In my recent discussion about whether netbooks are already obsolete, I said that the segment needed a real game-changer, because it has become increasingly difficult to find the marketable advantage. With the GIGABYTE M912 netbook, we may have found a possible answer. Unlike so many other netbooks that are flooding the market these days, the GIGABYTE M912 isn’t just a little laptop; it also happens to be a convertible tablet PC.

Thermaltake BigTyp 14 Pro CPU Cooler Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Thermaltake BigTyp 14 Pro CPU Cooler

Thermaltake has sent for this review, the BigTyp 14 Pro. As mentioned, the BT14 Pro is a large cooler using a 140mm fan mounted in a horizontal fashion to blow air down through the CPU cooler and towards the motherboard. While this concept has been tried before and tested averagely, Thermaltake took things to a much larger scale with how the BT14 Pro is assembled. I will elaborate a bit more on these "bigger is better" features as they come up throughout the review.

This cooler, just by holding it in my hands and still inside the box, makes me think that it may be too large. I haven’t gotten out the tape measure and looked at if it will or not yet, but I will for sure get some critical measurements. Hopefully this will aide in the decision of whether or not it will fit in your current accommodations. On to getting a few images and getting out the tape measure, let’s see what the BigType 14 Pro is all about.

Sunbeam Automation Review
OCC has published a new review on the Sunbeam Automation case

The Sunbeam Automaton case has a few different features that are going to help it stand out from its competition, the first of which is the side window. This viewing window only covers about 40% of the side panel and is shaped in a way that flows very well with the curves of the case, along with the overall feel of the case. The other main difference between the Automaton case and other cases on the market that have side panel windows, is the fact that there is a window on both sides, not just the side that you are going to use to access the innards of your case. This can be either a nice addition or a negative one, as you will have to be more cautious of where you hide your cables to make sure that they are not visible (if that is the look you are going for). There is also a place to mount a fan on both sides of the case, though it only comes with one pre-installed.

Cooler Master ThermalFusion 400 Thermal Paste Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Cooler Master ThermalFusion 400 Thermal Paste

While it may be difficult to get excited over a thermal paste, especially when there is a seeming myriad of different brands and types available, it is a necessary and often overlooked commodity. Cooler Master's new ThermalFusion 400 arrived in this plastic blister pack, unusual packaging for thermal paste. Included with the paste is an applicator, the first I've ever seen included with any brand interface material. This is a welcome addition, as it is common for thermal paste makers to give instruction to spread the product around without actually touching it or the surfaces to be covered. The thermal paste itself is in the typical syringe type container with plunger to control the amount of product released.

Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 2 GB Vapor-X Review
Driverheaven posted a review on the Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 2 GB Vapor-X

Today Sapphire becomes the first GPU manufacturer to attach 2 GB of DDR5 to a Radeon 4870 making it one of the most impressive models available in terms of paper specifications. They haven't stopped there however as the card also features their own PCB design and a cooler based on the Vapor-X technology which we have seen on a few of their previous cards.

We are lucky enough to have one of these new cards on our test bench and have run it through a number of real world tests to show exactly how consumers benefit from the increased memory and new cooler.
