Luxa2 M1-Pro Laptop cooler Review
Rbmods posted a review on the Luxa2 M1-Pro Laptop cooler

Luxa2 a sub division of Thermaltake makes more exclusive products than Thermaltake, they are slowly getting into the market and got some VERY nice cases but today we are looking at their fanless laptop cooler. This product is completely made out of aluminum with a very exclusive look but it does lack fans so the question is if it actually works, lets have a closer look!

Microcool Banchetto 101 Review
Viperlair posted a review on the Microcool Banchetto 101

The design is definitely Italian, with slightly beveled edges to give it a smooth yet edgy look, it is also very logical and most things can be figured out quite readily, although I did need to reference the manual to find out the "recommended" path for cabling. The Motherboard sits atop the case, while most think this insignificant, it is a huge win for me as in my other Tech Bench I have run into a Cooling solution for the CPU that was to large to fit on the under shelf.

Clickfree C2N Automatic Home Network Backup Review
TestFreaks posted a review on Clickfree C2N Automatic Home Network Backup

Backups are important and not long ago I looked at a product from Clickfree called the Traveler that worked well, today for review I've got another one from Clickfree but this one is very unique in that it works on your network but not how you might think. The Clickfree C2N Automatic Home Backup works with all of the computers on your network, but it works via USB and even wirelessly. Once you install the program called BackupLink on your
computers, you can then backup any computer to the C2N from anywhere on your network, and the actual drive doesn't have to be connected to the computer your backing up, it can be connected to any on your network. The program automatically find the C2N wherever it is on your network and starts the backup process via your network. It's extremely simple to use, no actual networking is involved, it's all automatic.

Hardware Canucks posted a review of the new Gigabyte HD 5870 1GB Super Overclock graphics card.

Auzentech X-Fi Bravura sound card review
APH Networks has published a new review on the Auzentech X-Fi Bravura sound card

When we reviewed the Auzentech X-Fi HomeTheater HD a few weeks back, I was without a doubt extremely impressed by the overall performance of the card. Combining the best hardware (For the most part, anyway) for impressive sound quality across the board, the X-Fi HomeTheater HD is really a true audiophile's dream. But let's be realistic here -- unless you are really picky in audio and searching for the best of the best, the rest of the crowd may find it just a bit hard to justify the cost of a sound card that pretty much retails for more than most motherboards at press time. What if you are a casual audiophile looking for a sound card that delivers more than what integrated audio solutions offer, but at a more affordable price tag? Auzentech might just have the solution for you. The Auzentech X-Fi Bravura is a PCI Express based audio board that costs roughly half of what the X-Fi HomeTheater HD commands at the time of writing this review, yet retains some of the electronics found on its bigger brother such as the bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic Nichon MUSE ES audio grade capacitors, Cirrus Logic CS4382A 24-bit 192 kHz 8-channel DAC, and a handful of other things. It even has fully swappable operational amplifiers on all channels, which even the X-Fi HomeTheater HD does not have! Is the Auzentech X-Fi Bravura an appealing solution to the masses, or is it just riding on the brand, a cheaped-out version that you shouldn't bother with? We took the liberty to find all the answers for you in our review today!

OWC Mercury Extreme SandForce SF-1200 100GB SSD Review
TweakTown posted a review on the OWC Mercury Extreme SandForce SF-1200 100GB SSD

Other World Computing (or OWC) is an Apple specialty store that also offers their own branded products. The company showed up on our radar when we first started seeing SandForce controlled SSDs entering the market. Even now only a small handful of the dozens of companies that are planning to offer SandForce SSDs have been able to bring them to market. OWC was immune to whatever problems other manufacturers are having and has a product on the market now, but that is only half of the story.

So far we’ve heard all kinds of stories about SandForce SF-1200 controlled SSD pricing, but to date most of the costs have been well over the launch price of OWC’s Mercury Extreme Enterprise SSD. Who would have thought that one of the best SandForce values on the market would have come from a Mac specialty shop?
