DisplayLink USB Graphics Adapter Review
OCModShop posted a review on the DisplayLink USB Graphics Adapter

Regardless of your reasons, people are now used to running multiple monitors in everyday situations... but not every computer is equipped with multiple display ports. Some monster cards, like the Sapphire 4850 X2 reviewed here, have four DVI ports, which is more than enough for even Al Gore. Most add-on graphics cards only have 2 ports, and only one of them may be DVI. Notebooks (and netbooks) usually only have a single VGA port, if they have one at all. If only there was some way to upgrade your monitor and desktop space without opening your computer...

DisplayLink has the answer with their innovative USB to Graphics adaptors. These little devices are small little boxes that plug into a USB port, and then connect to any DVI or VGA monitor. The software uses your existing video card's capabilities, so even full-motion video and 3D accelleration is still possible on your other monitors.

Rosewill RMS-HDA5000 and RMS-DA7600 Antenna Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Rosewill RMS-HDA5000 and RMS-DA7600 Antenna

The truth is that all television antennas are designed to receive signals at Ultra High Frequencies (UFH), Very High Frequencies (VHF), or both regardless or analog or digital. This means that even the old antenna that you have in your house from the analog age would still work with current HDTV. Do not get fooled by all of the marketing hypes of HDTV antenna. However, even among all of the antennas, there are some with good reception and some are having poor reception. In my opinion, as long as an antenna is able to receive a clear signal, then it is a good antenna.

Today, we are going to look at two amplified antenna courtesy of Rosewill. The RMS-HAD5000 is an indoor/outdoor antenna and the RMS-DA7600 is an indoor antenna that is designed to be portable.

The biggest selling point of the Sapphire Vapor-X Radeon HD4850 512MB graphics card may be that it runs cool, quiet, and it is relatively energy efficient. Sapphire has made a few electrical tweaks, as well as developing a new cooler, that give you all the performance of a Radeon HD4850 without as much heat, noise, or electricity consumption.

Vizio 47" LCD FHDTV VO47L Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Vizio 47" LCD FHDTV VO47L

Today for review I've got a 47" LCD HDTV from Vizio that retail for under $1000, and that's even after taxes! The Vizio V047L is an excellent television in my opinion, the picture is beautiful, and it's got numerous inputs for all of your components. There's one glaring problem with it though, the sound from the built in speaker is just terrible, but since it's inexpensive compared to others out there, it'll leave you with money left over to get a nice surround system to go with it.

Zotac GTX285 AMP! Edition Review
Vortez Hardware posted a review on the Zotac GTX285 AMP! Edition

With the vast selection of graphics cards on the market today choosing one is never going to be easy. This is made particularly difficult when you consider the fact that so many new games come out demanding ever higher specifications. In fact myself have had many different cards in a surprisingly short space of time for just this reason - only a few cards come to mind that actually offered enough additional performance to allow me to sit back and enjoy games over a longer period of time.Today we'll see if the Zotac GTX 285 AMP! Edition we have here is one of those cards.

Corsair TX850W Power Supply Review
Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the Corsair TX850W Power Supply

When it comes to the absolute best when balancing price and performance, a few units come to mind, among them Corsair's TX750W was definitely among those at the front of the pack. Today we add Corsair's TX850W to that list. The 850W priced in the lower $100 dollar range and only slightly more expensive than the TX750W falls in a sweet spot. For those needing just a little bit more power than the TX750W offers, but not a full 1000W, the TX850W answers the call. Even those who don't necessarily need 850W of power should consider the TX850W. There are only a small number of units which match Corsair's TX line offerings in terms of performance and especially at its asking price point.

Xigmatek Cuirassier-N002 Memory Heat Spreaders Review
Tweaktown posted a review on the Xigmatek Cuirassier-N002 Memory Heat Spreaders

Xigmatek, while being known for their very impressive CPU cooler line-up, has decided to break the mold and have branched into memory cooling as well. Xigmatek has made two variations of their new endeavor, one of which is a standard basic style heat spreader, while another, bit more ambitious version includes one, solo H.D.T heat pipe that actually runs across the IC’s (actual memory chips). Xigmatek passed along for me to review the first style of the more basic heat spreader concept, with the Cuirassier-N002. The second H.D.T. design is called the Dragoon-N442, which I hope to receive and review as well.

Xigmatek has designed the Cuirassier-N002’s from extruded aluminum and it looks to be anodized black, with a white Xigmatek logo painted on either side of the spreaders. At the top of each side of the spreaders is a 5-fin, aluminum array to allow a fan to help dissipate the heat. Most pre-applied spreaders come with a foam based tape or a stringy tape that won’t allow any sort of reapplication of the spreaders without a lot of work involved, while the Cuirassiers come with L37-5, silicone rubber, to transfer the heat from the IC’s to the spreaders.
