Bigbruin.com has posted a new review on the Tagan Icy Box IB-266StUSD-B 2.5" Drive Enclosure

Utilizing both USB 2.0 and eSATA (as well as an internal SATA option) makes the Tagan Icy Box IB-266StUSD-B 2.5" Drive Enclosure ultra portable and future proof. eSATA is quickly becoming available on many systems, and will become more widely available in time. Including a USB 2.0 interface ensures it is compatible with today's typical systems.

TechWareLabs has published a review of the Vizo Voyager Hard Drive Cooler

Vizo recently sent us the Voyager dual fan 3.5" hard drive (HD) cooler for review. Vizo, based in Taiwan is a manufacturer of computer peripherals with unique designs and has many products focused on the DIY crowd. The Voyager as mentioned earlier is a hard drive cooler. Of the many ways to cool your hard drive the most is to increase the air flow through the case and over the hard drive in particular. Heat is the number 1 killer of hard drives and our philosophy is to spend a few dollars now and save the cost of replacing your drive and data later. Other methods range in cost from a simple 80mm fan that mounts inside your case just in front of your 3.5" hard drive bay to high priced water blocks. The mid-range priced option is still a relatively cheap dual fan setup that mounts to the bottom of the HD and directs airflow directly onto the circuitry of the hard drive.

PC Stats posted ABIT AB9 Pro Intel P965 Express Motherboard Review

The ABIT AB9 Pro uses a rather distinctive layout, so at first glance some connectors look haphazardly placed. In practice the board is pretty easy to hook up, and where connectors look out of place there is actually extra room to accommodate them - the SATA connectors are a good example. The AB9 Pro has no less than six fan headers strategically located around the PCB, with at least one 4-pin PWM connection for the CPU fan heatsink. The board uses Rubycon electrolytic capacitors.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Logitech Harmony Remote 895 Universal Remote Control

Logitech is soon to release its top-of-the-range Harmony 1000 unit, but while I wait to get my hands on one of those I thought I’d take a look at the next one down – the 895. What this offers over the 885 is RF – making it possible to use even without line of sight. A RF base extender is provided and IR connectors, so you can theoretically control up to eight devices from each extender.

Legit Reviews posted a review on the V-MODA Vibe Red Roxx Earphone

The V-MODA VIBE Red Roxx headset is one of the best headsets we have used – and certainly the best we have reviewed. The frequency response and sound quality coming from these very light headsets is downright freaky. There will be many who wont appreciate the amount of bass and crisp highs that this headset produces from high quality sources, but those users will probably not know what an iPod or Zune is to begin with. Once you get the headsets fitted properly, you will truly be able to enjoy incredible sound in your own world...

3D Game Man posted a review on the OCZ XTC Cooler

The OCZ XTC memory cooler has a lot of great and useful features. Starting with its chromed elegance and bright blue LEDs, this cooler has 'head turner' written all over it. But there is brawn behind those looks as well! With an eleven degree drop over stock installation without a cooler at load, this cooler will have anybody seriously looking at aftermarket memory cooling waiting for their chance with the beauty. A three degree differential between idle and load is enough for any enthusiast to seriously consider this product from OCZ.

techPowerUp! posted a new review on the Thermaltake LANBOX Lite

The Lanbox Lite is geared toward the budget minded user, while still giving you all the benefits of its more expensive Lanbox brethren. With a large price difference of around 30-40 USD and no major differences, besides the front of the case, this is an easy choice for anyone wanting an affordable small form factor case. We try it out and let you know if it is just as good as the bigger, more expensive variant.

PC Stats posted MSI NX7900GS-T2D512E-OC Geforce 7900GS Videocard Review

MSI has always excelled in videocard overclocking - maybe it's that shade of red they coat every motherboard and videocard with.... As the MSI NX7900GS-T2D512E-OC comes from the factory already pretty heavily overclocked, we're not expecting too much more from the GPU and memory. By default the GPU is clocked at 550 MHz, while the memory hums along at a brisk 1400 MHz.

techPowerUp! posted a new review on the Verbatim Store 'n' Go 4GB USB Drive

The Verbatim Store 'n' Go memory sticks occupy the budget end of the entire Store 'n' Go series. They offer size and quality over performance and features, but have a smaller price tag than the other Store 'n' Go variants. 4GB at $30-35 may not sound bad, so we take a close look the USB stick and see if the savings are worth it.

OCIA.net takes a look at the Leadtek WinFast 7900GS TDH Video Card

Idle temps at stock clock were in the low 50s, so I was pretty apprehensive overclocking with the stock cooler. The cube on ATI Tool heated the GPU into the low 60s. I tried some overclocking anyway, and even with a very mild overclock, I couldn't get through 3DMark06 without the program locking up. So, I install a Zalman FS-V7 that I had on an unused card. Idle temps immediately hit the low 40s.

HotHardware.com posted GTR Tech GT3 SFF PC Review

Over the last couple of weeks, we have exclusively had the chance to preview a new small form factor PC called the GT3, from the GTR Tech Corporation. Unlike the boxy little designs that we have become accustomed to in the SFF arena, the GT3 is sleeker and more versatile; looking more like a slimmer, shorter version of an upright mid-tower. And best of all, it can accommodate standard ATX motherboards and full sized expansion cards. Head on over to the site and check it out.

BurnOutPC.com has posted a review on the Enzotechnology Ultra-X

Stellar looks with performance to match. This cooler is gigantic, which makes it a little bit tough to get your fingers round the nuts but installation was a breeze with my socket 775 motherboard. It's weird to see that the Ultra-X does a good job keeping ahead of the Coolscraper, but as soon as I overclocked my system it loses against the Coolscraper 120. These temperatures are marginally different though, and room temperature also plays a part in this. Overall a really nice cooler, absolutely silent ! Great choice if your looking for a new cooler, and a job well done by the guys over at Enzotechnology.

Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Antec P180B Performance One ATX Case

Since most consumers have become more performance minded and possibly more personal, it seems expected that builders and enthusiasts have finally evolved to think outside the beige box. For this review, I will take a in-depth look at the Antec P180B ATX computer case from their Performance One lineup. As with most Antec cases, the name doesn't say much, but thankfully Benchmark Reviews has plenty of images to compensate for the lack of a colorful name.

ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Logitech diNovo Edge Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard

When you make a statement saying you have the "World's most advanced keyboard", you better be able to back it up. When Logitech said they had the world's most advanced mouse in the MX Revolution they were able to back it up. The diNovo Edge features Bluetooth technology, a stylish sleek design, charging base, and backlit stealth controls. Let's see of this keyboard has what it takes to stop me from using the keyboard I have been using since last August!
