BLACX 5G External Drive Dock by Thermaltake
TechwareLabs posted a review on the BLACX 5G External Drive Dock by Thermaltake

The BlacX 5G is a welcomed upgrade to USB 3.0 from the BlacX Duet which was just USB 2.0. gives you the ability to hot swap out SATA drives and gives you the speed of having the SATA drive connected via a SATA cable to the motherboard. This is a welcomed upgrade to all those I.T. techs who deal with stacks of hard drives and need to search multiple drives for misplaced data or image drives quickly.

TechReviewSource.com posted a review on the Acer Aspire One 522-BZ897

The Acer Aspire One 522-BZ897 is a 10.1-inch netbook with a 250GB hard drive, a multitouch trackpad and AMD's latest Fusion dual-core processor. The standard 1GB of RAM is much too small for great performance, so a RAM upgrade is a must with this netbook.

Thermaltake V9 BlacX Edition Mid Tower Chassis Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Thermaltake V9 BlacX Edition Mid Tower Chassis

Lately the market has finally opened up, and in mid tower designs these days we can find cases that aren't going to break the bank and come very well equipped. It used to be that $100 might get you an Antec 900 case, and with that you got some cool hard drive cages and a bunch of airflow. The internal layout was very simplistic, wasn't painted, and your ears took a hammering from the noise level that come from inside the case. I really like the fact that manufacturers are realizing that buyers don't have a ton of expendable cash, and are actually trying to offer us some lower dollar products that still offer variations on things found in the much more expensive cases on the market.

Whether you are in the need for a LAN case that isn't going to take up a bunch of room, or if you just don't need all the room a full tower offers in your office, we already know Thermaltake made big waves with the earlier releases in the Element series of cases. This is sort of a cross between an Antec 900 and all the finer points found in the various Element cases. Thermaltake just didn't stop there with this chassis, though. Not only does this new design carry USB 3.0 connectivity and a lot of tool -less features, it is fully painted inside and out, designed well, and offers a huge bonus.

The Guru of 3D posted a review on the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 590

Have a peek at the awesomeness that is the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 590, and then head on over to the next page where as always, we'll go a little deeper, but not too deep. We'll look at noise levels, power consumption, heat, we'll do a nice photo-shoot and heck why not... an extensive benchmark session to see where this product positions itself, especially compared to the Radeon HD 6990.

NZXT H2 Silent Mid Tower Case Review
Hardware Canucks posted a video review of the new NZXT H2 Silent Mid Tower Case.

The silent PC market doesn't exactly cut the same imposing figure as products focusing on "gamers" but it is expanding nonetheless. Many cases which try to take advantage of this increasing popularity are usually quite expensive and yet NZXT's H2 chassis is trying to break this trend. Priced at a mere $99, we have some high expectations for it but have too many corners been cut in order to hit such a low price point?

Enermax Hoplite Review
PureOverclock has published a review of the Enermax Hoplite mid-tower case.

The Enermax Hoplite PC case is the latest offering in their line of cases for value-conscious users. However, affordable and practical do not always go hand-in-hand, but for Enermax this synergy is usually blended and what comes out is usually quite good. This chassis looks to live up to such high expectations with its features and design, and a promise to not be hard on the wallet.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 Dual Graphics DirectX 11 Video Card Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 Dual Graphics DirectX 11 Video Card

There comes a time when you need a helping hand, your surrounded and the only way out would be to use your intellect or to have something better than the others that gives you the edge. A strong intellect is always a good thing to have since it will usually get you out of situations that need thought and careful deduction. The evolution of gaming is upon us and we no longer have to wait for the software to catch up to the technology. If you are the type that demands realistic game play and loves to crank up the "EyeCandy", you will not be able to survive on intellect alone; you will need superior hardware to generate the realism. You will need that one piece of killer hardware to generate enough frames per second to ensure smooth gameplay while ensuring your immersive experience is memorable. NVIDIA quite possibly has developed the solution, a Dual GPU video card called the GeForce GTX 590.

The SSD Review takes a look at the LSI MegaRAID SAS/SATA 9265-8i 6Gb/s PCIe RAID Card
