Titan G4T Magic Pad Notebook Cooler Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Titan G4T Magic Pad Notebook Cooler

Laptop cooling pads have evolved since we used the Athlon in every day useage and now we're starting to see multi-fan extendable pads that feature up to 4 fans and can accommodate a 14 inch laptop all the way up to our new Toshiba Satellite 17 inch laptop. Since we're big believers in laptop cooling and keeping our laps cool we were delighted when Titan approached us about reviewing their Titan G4T Magic Pad laptop cooler. We're hoping for another 4 1/2 years of good service from the new Toshiba Satellite that we use for writing reviews on a day to day basis and have high expectations for the Titan G4T Magic pad facilitating that long life.

Zivio Boom Wireless Bluetooth Headset Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Zivio Boom Wireless Bluetooth Headset

Today for review I've got the Zivio Boom Wireless Headset, it's Bluetooth obviously, and it's basically for use with your cellphone, but it can be used with other BT devices as well. I'll be honest here, I hated this product when I first got it, it was very difficult to fit to my ear, it just wouldn't stay in my ear, it kept falling out no matter what I did. My ear was actually sore from the time I spent playing with it trying to get it to fit me correctly, so I did what anyone would do, I gave up, at least for a couple days until my frustration wore off. Taking a fresh look at it, I got it fitted and in my ear in less that 5 minutes, not sure what I did different this time, but it fit and stayed in my ear, and I like it, I like it very much now. The Zivio Boom gets it's name from the boom style microphone that can be pulled out of the ear piece, the sound is loud and clear, and it's nicely made. So, continue on to learn more about a very nice product,

Tagan A+ Cupid 3 Mini-ITX HTPC Chassis Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Tagan A+ Cupid 3 Mini-ITX HTPC Chassis

At this point in building and reviewing products, I have had my hands in quite a few types and models of cases. Not too long ago I was greeted with an e-mail asking if I would like to review a mini-ITX case. I accepted the challenge and went on Newegg and got a hold of a ZOTAC mini-ITX motherboard to go along with parts I already had on hand, ready for a build. The case finally arrived at my door from A+, one of three of the Cupid series. I asked for the Cupid 3 for reasons I will address later, but there is also a Cupid 1 and a Cupid 2 in this line-up.

Growing up as a kid, I spent my winters building model cars and planes, which is what I liken this mini-ITX build to. With the interior space being very limited with the basic idea of the mini-ITX form factor, one needs to take their time and make sure everything is secure and in its proper place. Making sure you have a bit of extra time and patience is the key to making it all go together smoothly. The anticipation has gotten to me; I think it’s about time we get down to business and show what the A+ Cupid 3 has to offer the HTPC community.

Linksys by Cisco Media Hub NAS Device Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the Linksys by Cisco Media Hub NAS Device

If you have a large or growing collection of digital photos, videos, and music, and want to share this media with other users in your household--or perhaps you want to consolidate all the media from different users and systems to a single source--then you can benefit from a NAS device. Add in automatic backups of all locally-networked PCs and remote access to the device over the Internet and you have the Linksys by Cisco Media Hub device.

The Linksys by Cisco Media Hub comes in three different versions. The NMH305 comes with 500GB of storage that can be user-upgraded to 1TB, and it sells for $299.99 (MSRP). The NMH405 also has 500GB of storage that can be user-upgraded to 1TB; but it also includes a color LCD status window, a media-card-reader, and sells for $349.99. Finally, the NMH410 has the same features as the NMH405, but it comes with a full 1TB of storage and sells for $429.99. We evaluated the 500GB NMH405 and have the article posted right here

GeForce GTX 295: New on Old
Accelenation see what a high-end GeForce GTX 295 card can do for an old computer system.

This article is going to be slightly different. Instead of testing the most powerful and expensive graphics card currently available in a high-end system, we'll be plugging it into a fairly old AMD dual core system. That's right, no fancy Core i7 X58 system here. not even a Core 2 system.

Sunbeam Core-Contact Freezer 92mm Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted a review on the Sunbeam Core-Contact Freezer 92mm Heatsink

Sunbeamtech's Core-Contact Freezer 92mm heatsink stands 122mm tall, measures 97mm across and accommodates one or two 92mm fans. The heatsink ships with a single fan mounted on rubber vibration absorbing posts that spins at 1,200~2,200 RPM, extra rubber mounting posts are supplied. The all aluminum construction, apart from four 6mm copper heatpipes exposed at the base, keeps weight down to a feathery 272 grams. In all other respects the Sunbeam Core-Contact Freezer 92mm Edition is essentially a shrunken down version of its namesake. It will no doubt satisfy users looking for a sub-125mm tall cooler for compact PC cases.

Western Digital RE3 1TB Hard Drives Review
PCShopTalk posted a review on the Western Digital RE3 1TB Hard Drives

To test the hard drives, we did a complete reinstall of Windows Vista and completely formatted all hard drives that were tested. We let the computer run for several minutes so the hard drives would heat up and be in standard test conditions. We then ran several tests with these programs listed: HD Tach 3.0.4.0, PCMark 05 and PCMark Vantage. The tests were run 3 times and the results were averaged to get accurate information.

In Win Na External HDD Enclosure Review
OCC has published a new review on the In Win Na External HDD Enclosure

The In Win Na is one of the most unique enclosures I have seen. Unlike the usual industrial "tough" looking enclosures on the market, the Na is more of a peaceful one that brings harmony to the table. Performance was also where it should be, both for USB and eSATA connectivity. I was fond of the small 6cm fan that was included with the enclosure. Throughout the course of testing and loading of the 1TB hard drive, the included fan did a good job of keeping it relatively cool with temperatures in the range of 37 degrees Celsius. One downside to the enclosure was the material used. It felt as if thought it could break a little too easily. Perhaps it wouldn't be the most ideal enclosure for the traveller or gamer, but nonetheless it's nothing to be scared of for the average Joe.
