Logitech G19 Keyboard for Gaming
Hardware Logic posted a review on the Logitech G19 Keyboard for Gaming

We hate to kill the suspense right from the get-go, but simply put, the best just got better. Logitech's G19 keyboard ditches its old digs for a revamped look, offers a much improved LCD display with a few new tricks up its sleeve, boasts twice as many programmable G-keys, and meshes with any gamer's setup with adjustable color backlighting. It also costs twice as much as it's older G15 sibling. Let's take a closer look.

Microsoft SideWinder X8 Wireless Gaming Mouse Review
TestFreaks checked out the Microsoft SideWinder X8 Wireless Gaming Mouse

Microsoft has recently released a new product, it's a wireless gaming mouse called the SideWinder X8 and it aims to actually be a usable wireless mouse for gaming. It's got the standard features of gaming mice, adjustable DPI settings, macros management and programmable buttons. It also features an extra button which acts as a quick launch button to the games folder in Vista, it also features replaceable feet as well, and includes two extra sets of them. One of the other features I found unique is the ability to charge while playing, the charging cable clips to the base via a magnetic connection and allows you to continue playing while the mouse is charging. Overall it's a great mouse and in my time with it I've come to like it very much, so read on to learn more about a very adept and adequate wireless gaming mouse.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200S and Q9550S 65W CPUs
HotHardware.com takes a look at the Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200S and Q9550S 65W CPUs

At just 65W, Intel's new S-series quad-core processors have a TDP (thermal design power) rating that's 30W lower than traditional Core 2 Quad chips, which are all rated for 95W. In fact, the only other 65W chips Intel offers are from the Core 2 Duo line-up of dual-core processors. The beauty is, these new lower power chips perform just like true quad-cores of course but produce a lot less heat and consume less energy.

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 285 1GB AMP Video Card Review
TheTechLounge posted a review on the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 285 1GB AMP Video Card

In the midst of all the rebranding and fine-tuning, NVIDIA managed to make again, the most powerful single-GPU video card. Well, they also made the most powerful dual-GPU video card but that's not what I'm reviewing, is it. I'm reviewing the GTX 285, the die-shrunk, power-boosted bastard of the GTX 280. It's really, really powerful. There has to be some kind of flaw, right? In some ways, it's overpriced, but is that even fair? It's maybe a bit expensive, but only compared to other video cards--for less than =24400, I'm sure everyone at NVIDIA thinks they're just giving these away. Which is sad for them, great for everyone else. This is an exemplary performer on its own, and costs =24200 less than the GTX 280 back when it came out. Did I mention how frustratingly powerful it is?

This motherboard also has many great features such as the overclocking knob allowing the user to play with the base clock anytime.

Tweaknews posted Samsung SyncMaster 2263UW LCD Monitor w/ Webcam Review

The SyncMaster 2263UW is a great option for the consumer who wants an uncluttered workspace by having all webcam, audio and USB hub features bundled into their monitor. This monitor on its own proves that you can have your cake and eat it too for once. No longer does a multifunction monitor have to be a jack of all trades but a master of none.

Evercool Hermes Notebook Cooler Review
OCC has published a new review on the Evercool Hermes Notebook Cooler

When comparing the performance of the Hermes to the rest of the coolers, it did not offer the lowest overall temperatures. But it did offer a substantial decrease in the load temperatures when compared to the notebook operating without a cooler. Reductions of 6 degrees Celsius on the CPU and 4 degrees Celsius on the GPU are nothing to sneeze at and show that the concept works. Feature-wise, the Hermes is not loaded up, but really what else do you need in a notebook cooler other than a stable platform and cooling that works? Hermes does both of these things. While the Hermes did have a way to store the USB cable easily, which was nice, this certainly is not a benefit that would sway my decision one way or the other if I was considering a purchase. The Hermes does have a limit as to the size notebook that it can cool, but with the proliferation of netbooks that are much smaller than the traditional notebook, the Hermes is a viable option for cooling these devices.

NZXT Zero 2 Full Tower Chassis Review
TweakTown posted a review on the NZXT Zero 2 Full Tower Chassis

My last review of a case was a bit on the small side and slightly frustrating when trying to add all the pieces into that puzzle. That’s the good thing about what I do, though. Never fear, as something different is just around the corner. This time around, it just so happens to be a full tower case from NZXT; the Zero 2, that is up for discussion.

In the past five years NZXT has started from a fledgling company, into a name that most gamers and enthusiasts recognize. These people are who NZXT strives to please by using ideas of the masses to incorporate better ideas and technologies into their products.

OCZ Gladiator Max CPU Cooler (OCZTGLADM) Review
XtremeComputing posted a review on the OCZ Gladiator Max CPU Cooler (OCZTGLADM)

Gone are the dimples that were pressed into the fins in the previous Vendetta coolers, this time the fins are plain and smooth. Rather strangely the aluminium base around the heatpipes has 6 columns that extend up and have three fins attached to them. I can only assume this is to give more supporting structure to the cooler as I doubt it would make much difference in temperatures

Intel's Nehalem-based Xeons are finally here, and they've left us gasping for air. This may well be the largest performance jump from one CPU generation to the next that we've ever seen. Idle power draw is way, way down, as well. The downside? We're still looking for one.

The In Win NA is a very stylish and unigue HDD enclosure. In Win has gone all out and included a porcelain plate as cover and hid the USB 2.0 and eSATA interface within the confines of the smooth white bowl.
