NVIDIA Quadro CX Pro Graphics For Adobe CS4
HotHardware.com takes a look at the NVIDIA Quadro CX Pro Graphics For Adobe CS4

NVIDIA is betting that there is a market for Adobe CS accelerators, and their first foray into this area is what we're looking at today on HotHardware, the recently released Quadro CX. This is not a daughterboard or separate add-in which works with your standard graphics card, but rather this is a full-on, pro workstation graphics card which just happens to have a link with the Adobe CS suite through software for accelerating specific content types, similar to the Quadro FX for 3D content creation software. It's a new product segment which much of the market is still somewhat confused by, but NVIDIA has taken the first step towards accelerating significant portions of the Adobe CS4 software suite. Let's see if their efforts have paid off...

OCZ PC3-16000 Reaper 6GB Memory Kit Review
Neoseekers takes a look at new 6GB memory kit from OCZ, the PC3-16000 Reaper DDR3

With Intel's Core i7 slowly but steadily gaining ground, more and more people are looking into lightening fast DDR3 memory kits. The latest triple channel on the market are rated between 1066 MHz for entry level kits and over 2000 MHz in the top-end market. With the latter being theoretically twice as fast and carrying an equally impressive price tag, you can be left wondering whether the investment is worth it or not. Then, there are those kits clocking at a very reasonable 1600 to 1866 MHz which, thanks to constant price drops, are actually selling at a somewhat reasonable price.

GIGABYTE GeForce GTS 250 1GB Graphics Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the GIGABYTE GeForce GTS 250 1GB Graphics Card

We know about the GTS 250; it's nothing more than a rebranded 9800 GTX+. While this is annoying to a degree for the less experienced users who tend not to keep up with what's happening, if you are looking for something that is to be a well known contender, then the GTS 250 could well be a good choice.

Since the card is a 9800 GTX+ and it's been out for so long now, companies have been able to offer a good range of options from the word go. Today we'll have a look at what exactly GIGABYTE has done to the card and if it can stand out from the competition.

Lenovo ThinkPad 128-bit AES Secure USB Hard Drive Review
Everything USB posted a review on the Lenovo ThinkPad 128-bit AES Secure USB Hard Drive

Identity and data theft is on the rise. While the average user rarely worries when he loses a personal or company flash drive, how much can you or your company really afford to lose its trade secrets or your very own bank account details? This is where data encryption steps in and while some prefer software applications to handle this task, software encryption can be broken relatively easy compared to encryption that is hardware based. Lenovo is well-known in the corporate world for secure, well-built business notebooks, and this time we'll be looking if they can deliver a portable drive featuring hardware encryption with a business flavor to both home and corporate users.

NZXT Whisper Chassis Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the NZXT Whisper chassis

A while ago the chassis demons from NZXT released their Whisper series of PC cases. A chassis designed to remain quiet under most common circumstances.

A nice design chassis that is big in size (full-tower) yet with a focus on decent airflow in that chassis, and the room for everything you can think of. Are the looks fooling us or is this a really worthy chassis concept ? So let us see of NZXT can succeed, the whisper is a chassis filled with noise damping features while retaining style.

Thermaltake Toughpower XT 850W Power Supply Review
OCC has published a new review on the Thermaltake Toughpower XT 850W Power Supply

The Thermaltake Toughpower XT 850W performed flawlessly from start to finish. The DC voltage load regulation is excellent and the efficiency amongst the highest I have tested and fully deserving of the 80 Plus Bronze certification. This Thermaltake Toughpower XT 850W carries the AMD Game Ready and ATI Crossfire X Technology logos. The only information I can find on AMD Game Ready is a minimum PC specification (Athlon X2 5600, ATI Radeon HD3650, AMD 770 or Nvidia nForce 500 chipset & 2GB DDR2 memory) to meet before it can carry the logo but with the wide variety of different manufacturers producing these parts does this certification really mean anything?.
