FSP Aurum 500 Gold Power Supply Review
DreamWare Computers posted a review on the FSP Aurum 500 Gold Power Supply

Only a couple months ago FSP came to market with the Aurum series of 80PLUS Gold certified power supplies. The Arum models start at lower wattages, and lower price tags, than most other 80PLUS Gold power supplies. Here today I have the base 500W model - a great contender for mainstream systems that want to save on their electricity bills without paying an unnecessary price for a power supply that's way more powerful than they really need.

Cisco Linksys E1500 Wireless-N Router Review
TechReviewSource.com posted a review on the Cisco Linksys E1500 Wireless-N Router

The E1550 is a single-band router marketed as a more robust offering than the entry E-series model, the Cisco Linksys E1200 Wireless-N Router. Unfortunately, although it's a bit more expensive, the E1550 did not have any noticeable throughput speed or range gains over the E1200.

HP Pavilion dm1z Fusion-Based Ultralight Notebook Review
HotHardware posted a review on the HP Pavilion dm1z Fusion-Based Ultralight Notebook

What began as a trickle -- as AMD finally introduced a shipping version of the long-awaited Fusion platform -- has turned into a steady stream, and we're definitely excited to see APUs, as AMD calls the product, finally making an impact. AMD had played up the idea of an Accelerated Processing Unit for years, and now, it's clearly a reality. Lenovo's ThinkPad X120e, which we reviewed a few months ago, instantly became one of our favorite ultraportables, and now HP has what appears to be a rival machine, of sorts.

The Pavilion dm1z is an 11.6" machine, that is a touch larger than the myriad 10" netbooks already on the market, and honestly, we're struggling with what to classify this machine as. Is is a netbook? Is it an ultraportable? In reality, it's probably a hybrid of the two. You're getting the portability and longevity of a netbook, but the power and price of a nicer ultraportable.

Antec ISK-100 Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the Antec ISK-100

The ISK-100 is the most compact Mini-ITX chassis from Antec, but still allows for two 2.5" drives to be installed along with your choice of Mini-ITX board. We fill the case with hardware to check if things are too close for comfort or if the small dimensions of the ISK-100 leave a good impression.

ICY DOCK MB974SP-B Internal 4-bay Enclosure Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the ICY DOCK MB974SP-B Internal 4-bay Enclosure

Storage is something we can never have too much of, I myself have over 4TB of space and it is running out! Most of my storage is external though, so it’s a pain to take with me to LAN parties or other events. Most cases these days have room for 4-6 hard drives, but for some people that still is not enough. How many optical drives do you have? I don’t even use them anymore so I have 4 open spots in my case for nothing really. Well not nothing, ICY DOCK has a great device that will allow me to fit four more hard drives in three 5.25-inch drive bays. The device is the MB974SP-B, let’s see if it is the perfect device for you to add more storage to your system.

Patriot LX Pro 32GB Class 10 SDHC Memory Card Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the Patriot LX Pro 32GB Class 10 SDHC Memory Card

This is not unlike the weight classes in boxing, where the categories below 200lbs are tightly defined but weight differences beyond the Heavyweight class can be widely disparate. A 210lb fighter for example will be in the same weight class as a 320lb boxer, but a
160lb fighter cannot fight a 154lb pugilist. In terms of SD speed rating, as long as a memory card can sustain a minimum write speed of 10MB/s, it is given a Class 10 rating.

LSI 9265-8i 6Gbps MegaRAID Card RAID 5 Tested
The SSD Review checked out the LSI 9265-8i 6Gbps MegaRAID Card

Welcome to our follow up of the LSI 9265-8i MegaRAID Card, an eight-port PCI Express SATA+SAS RAID Controller that is configured for 6Gb/s devices. Our first LSI review concentrated on RAID 0 speed and performance and the response prompted our further testing of the LSI in a RAID 5 environment. Take a look as we explore the in-depth the performance of the 9265 as it tackles an array of 8 solid state drives.

RAID 0 is the 'big dog' when it comes to flat out performance. In previous generation RAID cards, the maximum sequential throughput and random I/O would make it impossible to match the speed of RAID 0 with a RAID 5 setup. The stage is changing, however, as the dual core ROC LSI2208 of the the 9265 raises RAID 5 performance to new levels.

XFX Radeon HD 6950 XXX Edition Review
Neoseeker posted a review on the XFX Radeon HD 6950 XXX Edition

The Radeon HD 6950 gets a saucy XXX Edition from XFX, offering increased GPU and memory clock speeds at the cost of a lowered 1GB memory capacity. Strangely it's offered at the same price as 2GB offerings based on the reference design, but it does offer a custom cooling solution. We put the HD 6950 XXX to the test to see if it can keep up the 2GB reference models, even with the total memory slashed by half.
