Thermaltake SpinQ Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Thermaltake SpinQ

CPU coolers - nobody really likes to think about them much. They just sit on top the CPU and keep it from frying. Most end users are happy with the cooler that came with the CPU and have little realization that the Stock CPU cooler really won't do the job of keeping the CPU cool and certainly won't allow for any real overclocking. Look at the facts though. The overclocking community is just a small percentage of end users. Most end users will look at you and say, 'Overclocking. I've heard of that.' Sad but true. Most people don't overclock and in most cases review sites tend to cater to that community.

Bjorn3D is just as guilty as any other high end hardware site in catering to the overclocking community. But in this case we're looking out for the Modding community. Modding a CPU cooler yourself really isn't a good idea but there are some unique coolers out there that have the pre-modded look. We're going to look at one today that's aimed more for modders than overclockers, the Thermaltake SpinQ.

TwinTech GeForce GTS 250 XT OC 1GB Graphics Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the TwinTech GeForce GTS 250 XT OC 1GB Graphics Card

It's been a bit few and far between seeing cards from TwinTech, but today we've got a new one that sits in with their XT series of overclocked cards. The particular model we're looking at today is the GTS 250 XT OC 1GB. Since the GTS 250 is nothing more than a rebranded 9800 GTX+, companies have been able to attack the "new" model quickly and swiftly with modifications in regards to its cooling and clock speeds.

TwinTech in true XT fashion has chosen to mix it up in both the clock speed department and the cooling one, but before we see how the card performs we'll quickly take the time to have a closer look at the cards package before checking out the card itself and the clock speeds it carries with it.

Zotac GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi Review
ITreviewed posted a review on the Zotac GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi motherboard

Aside from being a high-performance Mini-ITX platform, Zotac's GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi is also a neat platform for home theatre PCs. Pairing the motherboard with a low-power 45nm Intel processor would make a low-power and cool-running media centre with wireless network connectivity. You're going to have to get over the hurdle of picking a compatible enclosure and power supply, and you should remember that the GeForce 9300 chipset isn't as powerful as the 9400 used in nVidia's Ion system. You should also bear in mind that there's only support for two internal drives, and memory support doesn't include the latest cutting-edge DDR3. And if you intend to use a proper graphics card you'll need a larger case, so you might as well plump for a Micro-ATX motherboard. Finally, I should point out that the LGA775 socket doesn't have much of an upgrade path looking forward. But then there isn't one for soldered-on Atom CPUs, either. At least with LGA775 there is a wide range of models to suit just about every need and budget. Sure you can get an Atom-based Mini-ITX board for half the price, but Zotac's offering is in its own class if you want to build either a diminutive home theatre PC that can play back Blu-ray movies smoothly over HDMI or, with the addition of a discrete graphics card, a potent gaming rig that's easy to carry to LAN parties. In fact, it is the best Mini-ITX board I've ever tested.

Antec TP-550 Power Supply Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the Antec TP-550 Power Supply

I would hope that you would agree with me that it is important to have a dependable power supply, especially one that can give you enough power to let you perform your needs and wants on your computer. I know people out there that don't even play any games, that would just use the computer for e-mails, financing, and occasional surfing on the internet. If this classifies you as that type of person, it is still good to have a power supply that is capable of keeping your computer running under loads of stress from data. If you don't have sufficient power for these needs, it could lead to computer malfunctions, such as being unresponsive, and no one would enjoy that.
