NZXT Blue Sleeved LED Kit Review
Bigbruin.com has published a review on the NZXT Blue Sleeved LED Kit
What you get from NZXT is a two meter long string of LED lights with a controller and mounting hardware that lets you customize the lighting effect seen through a case's side window. Available in lengths of either one or two meters - and with color choices of blue, green, orange, red, or white - there is bound to be a combination to suit just about any system.Read more
OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G 120GB Solid State Drive Review
TweakTown posted a review on the OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G 120GB Solid State Drive
In 2010 we were introduced to Other World Computing (http://www.macsales.com), a reseller specializing in Macintosh products. At the time OWC was moving beyond that of a simple retail / e-tail outlet and venturing into manufacturing their own solid state product line. Over the last few years we've seen many companies manufacture their own SSDs; some have been established in the SSD market and others have been a one product wonder. You would think those with history in the SSD marketplace would be the first to market when a new controller becomes available, but OWC proved that theory wrong when they released the SandForce SF-1200 based Mercury Extreme right at the beginning of the product cycle. To show that OWC was serious about their solid state product line, they also priced the Mercury Extreme at a competitive point and even held the crown on and off in 2010 as the lowest priced SandForce SSD on the market.Read more
It's now 2011 and we've started a new season for solid state drives. Take me out to the ball game; OWC is in the batter's box. OWC has kept their SandForce partnership and once again amazed us with their ability to get a product to market so quickly. To date only OCZ Technology has been able to sample us with a SandForce 2000 Series product and that was an engineering sample that can't use the same mass production firmware found in the retail drives. We've already covered the SandForce 2000 Series lineup in detail. For a full break down of what's to come, be sure to check out that article.

Asus G73SW Sandy Bridge Gaming Notebook Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the Asus G73SW Sandy Bridge Gaming Notebook
Now in its third generation, the G73SW represents an architectural upgrade to what was already a powerful mobile PC. The goal remains the same, which is to recreate the desktop experience in a portable form factor. Whether you need to hammer out a spreadsheet, encode a Blu-ray video, or frag some foes at a LAN party, the G73SW promises to help get the job done. By all means, this is a desktop replacement, but with the addition of Intel's Sandy Bridge architecture, there's potential here for battery life to be extended beyond what you would normally expect from a high octane notebook. The question is, can it deliver on all fronts?Read more
Antec Six Hundred Gaming Case Review
Tech-Reviews.co.uk posted a review on the Antec Six Hundred Gaming Case
Antec have, for some time, been one of the most reputable companies when it comes to PC enclosures with an array of impressive enclosures catering for different users' requirements. The high-end part of the market has been plugged consistently by the company with cases such as the P180, and its later revisions, not to mention the Twelve Hundred and many more to boot. However, recently, Antec has decided to focus on the lower-to-mid price ranges and today's review follows that theme: introducing the Antec Six Hundred gaming enclosure...Read more
MSI GeForce GTX 580 Lightning Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the MSI GeForce GTX 580 Lightning graphics card
We test and review the MSI GeForce GTX 580 Lightning. MSI peeked at the NVIDIA reference GeForce GTX 580, then took the GeForce GTX 580 GPU, and threw the rest away.Read more
They designed a new PCB loaded with features and overclock potential, slapped some really cool memory on the card and topped off that GPU with the all new Twin Frozr III cooler.
G.Skill Ripjaws-X DDR3-2133 8GB Dual Channel Memory Kit Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the G.Skill Ripjaws-X DDR3-2133 8GB Dual Channel Memory Kit
Sandy Bridge, by now you all know the name and you know that Intel’s new processors blew the socks off almost anything out there. With this whole new architecture comes a new line of components made specifically for Sandy Bridge. Today we will be taking a look at some memory from our friends at G.Skill. A little while back we took a look at their 1600 MHz Ripjaws memory and today we are checking out the 2133 MHz Ripjaws-X memory, more specifically the Ripjaws-X F3-17000CL9D-8GBXLD kit. This kit runs at 2133 MHz with timings of 9-11-9-28 at 1.65v. Let’s take a look at this memory and see if it is perfect for your Sandy Bridge setup.Read more
Corsair AirFlow Pro Memory Temperature Monitor Review
Techgage posted Corsair AirFlow Pro Memory Temperature Monitor Review
Have a desire to add a bit of 'bling' to your PC, but fear being ridiculed for it? Well, there's no better excuse for bling than with Corsair's AirFlow Pro add-on for the company's AirFlow 2 memory cooler. In addition to offering a hypnotizing light-show, the AirFlow Pro can also keep you informed on your memory's usage and temperatures.Read more
Patriot SuperSonic 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Review
OCC has published a review on the Patriot SuperSonic 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive
The one thing that worried me is when bench testing using the Flash Memory Toolkit, the drive casing became quite hot, too hot to touch at one point. While this did not happen during regular use, if you are doing a large volume transfer there is a possibility that your drive will heat up so I would use caution. The fact that the casing is made of aluminum could be the reason for the higher external temperature since the drive does employ a quad channel design on the inside and the case is acting as a passive cooler for the chips.Read more
Intel DH67BL MicroATX Motherboard Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the Intel DH67BL MicroATX Motherboard
Purchasing the Intel DH67BL MicroATX motherboard isn't a sacrifice in quality. The DH67BL has all the necessary features that a HTPC or anyone needing a small powerful computer would need. The DH67BL has the LGA1155 socket that supports the newest Intel Core i7/i5/i3 Sandy Bridge processors. There are four 240-pin DIMM slots that support DDR3 memory modules at 1333MHz and 1066MHz speeds. Maximum supported memory is 32GB. The Intel H67 Express Chipset has the Intel Rapid Storage Technology capability. This allows RAID 0,1,5, and 10 hard drive configurations. Onboard are DVI-I and HDMI connections to allow processors with Intel HD Graphics.Read more

File Transfers Over 1Gbit/s Ethernet: SSD vs. HDD
Techgage takes a look at file transfers across 1Gbit/s Ethernet, with SSD to SSD, SSD to HDD and HDD to HDD configurations.
Utilizing Intel's I340 server NIC on one end, and a Realtek on the other, a transfer from SSD to SSD (Corsair F160 to Corsair F160) proved to be about 111MB/s for a solid file, and 56.75MB/s for a folder, which consisted of 6,353 files of varying sizes. At around 111MB/s, we found our network to be pretty-well maxed-out, even with the Intel server card involved (and for what it's worth, we found pretty much the same in Linux, except it was 1MB/s slower on average).Read more
ASUS GeForce GTX 550 Ti DirectCU TOP Overclocked Video Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the ASUS GeForce GTX 550 Ti DirectCU TOP Overclocked Video Card
The mid-range market is really heating up and one of the best things about these mid-range cards is that companies get the chance to attack the models instantly unlike higher end models such as the new Dual GPU offerings from both NVIDIA and AMD.Read more
The latest mid-range card to greet us comes from ASUS and is part of the new NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti series. The model we're looking at today is part of both the DirectCU and TOP series and carries with it both a healthy overclock and upgraded cooling system.
