Tweaknews.net posted Zerotherm BTF95 Fanless Copper Heatpipe CPU Cooler Review

ZEROtherm's new fanless BTF95 CPU cooler is a bold move by a relative newcomer in this market. The butterfly design is somewhat kitschy, but I was pleasantly surprised by its cooling performance . I can certainly see a niche that this cooler fits into nicely. If quiet computing is your bag, then the BTF95 may be a butterfly worth collecting. The mounting solutions are superb and the manual is quite good.

HardwareLogic posted ECS NF650iSLIT-A Motherboard Review

While INTEL continues to release quality chipset after quality chipset (with their G33 and G35 chipsets already showing up for pre-order), those who favor the NVIDIA silicon and the benefits they offer (SLI anyone?) are fairly limited. Those wanting to match a Core 2 Duo processor with SLI were forced to toss down premium money on high end 680i motherboards, or settle for the older NVIDIA 570 or 590 SLI mobos, which, while no slouches, don't feature 1333FSB support or other newer features found on NVIDIA's 680i chipset. Enter the NVIDIA 650i chipsets.

Modders-Inc has a new review online on the ZEROtherm GX815 Gamer Edition VGA Coolers

Sitting down at a computer to play several hours of your favorite game will put your video card through the paces and this can cause performance drops as the card heats up. ZEROtherm has sent me a set of their GX815 Gamer Edition VGA coolers to test on my XFX 7900 GS cards in SLI.

PC Stats posted nVidia GeForce 8800GTS 320MB SLI Videocard Head On Comparison

Alright, let's say you've got $600 US to spend on a kick ass videocard... or videocards. What are you going to get!? The nVIDIA GeForce 8800GTX is the undisputed king of graphics cards right now, but on the next notch down the GeForce 8800GTS 320MB offers a heck of a lot of value and that's hard to pass up. Doing the math, for the price of one super high end PCI Express videocard, you could have two 8800GTSs running in SLI! This is definitely an enticing option, but which route really is the faster choice?

BurnOutPC.com has posted their review on the Codegen M701-CA Casing

It's not often that I like a case in the budget range, but Codegen has done a great job in offering a quality case for a decent price. There were no sharp edges, and the features this case has to offer are great value for money. The plastic sliders for your drives are easy to use and add a great deal of functionality. The three fans included are sufficient and the included window is a nice feature as well. Overall a nice case, for a decent price. A job well done.

NVNews posted MSI NX8800GTS-T2D320E-HD OC Review

With prices below $300, the power of the best NVIDIA has to offer is now available for everyone. With the only difference between the two GTS models being the amount of GDDR3 RAM (640MB vs. 320MB) the sub-$300 price is attractive and reasonable. MSI took the reference design and upped the ante by increasing the core and memory clock speeds in their NX8800GTS-T2D320E-HD OC offering. The increase in raw speed on the card served as a good reminder that the marketing hype of "more memory = faster" is definitely not always the case as was discovered when put the through the paces against its bigger, but slower, 640MB brother.

I4U NEWS reviews the Dell W3707C 37 inch LCD HDTV.

The speakers on each side of the TV are removable and optional; they don't actually come attached so you have to screw them on if you want to use them. If you always use your surround sound system while watching you might want to forgo the speakers altogether though if you do want to use the speaker's installation is very easy. Each speaker uses a two-way, bass reflex design and has 15W of power per channel.

The TechZone has posted a review of the SteelSound 5H v2 Gaming Headset

Although the SteelSound 5H v2 is clearly targeted at more hardcore
gamers, it is also perfectly suited for the casual player who hops online every
so often for a session of World of Warcraft, Counterstrike, or whatever other title the kids are playing these days. I'm not much of a PC gamer myself, but I can say without hesitation that this headset is one of the best I've ever seen. The construction is solid, yet surprisingly lightweight. Sound quality is excellent, noise isolation is great, and the added features are of great value.

Howtoforge posted an Ubuntu 7.04 Linux desktop installation guide

With the release of Microsoft's new Windows operating system (Vista), more and more people are looking for alternatives to Windows for various reasons. This tutorial shows people who are willing to switch to Linux how they can set up a Linux desktop (Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn in this article) that fully replaces their Windows desktop, i.e. that has all software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that runs also on older hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge.

Elite Bastards posted Sapphire Radeon X1950 PRO Dual video card review

The first thing that strikes you as you lift the Radeon X1950 PRO Dual out of its packaging is the sheer size of the board - Not only is it long, but its height is, comparatively speaking, enormous, towering over the face plate at the rear of the card. On top of that is a vast cooler, utilising heatpipes coupled with a single, large cooling fan to draw heat away from the two RV570 cores on board. Seeing one of these cards in the flesh is most definitely a 'woah' moment.

Although two Radeon X1950 PRO Dual boards in a CrossFire setup aren't currently supported by ATI's drivers, the connectivity is still present on this card, courtesy of the two connectors at the top of the board as usual.

ClubOC posted Enermax Galaxy EGX1000EWL 1000w PSU Review

When you start blueprinting a system build, where do you start? Regardless of its function, from the most run-of-the-mill e-mail machine to ultimate gaming rig -- I start with the power supply. Consider the fact; before a single ampere of current touches your motherboard, it has to come from the power supply. The quality and quantity of power you have for your entire system is decided by this one single component. Lucky for us, there are more than just a few power supplies to choose from. Want lights and a Plexiglas cover? Someone will be sure to stock it. How about something totally fan-less to keep your PC as quiet as possible? Yup, got that too. What about a power supply for that ultimate gaming rig! Needless to say, once you start specializing parts, the field gets reduced pretty quickly.

Epia Center posted a review on the Commell LV-669 Mini-ITX motherboard

I have to say that the one thing that impressed me right from the beginning was the large amount of accessories and the long feature-list. The usability was also very good even though we did encounter that one issue that hasn't been solved to date. Given its very good temperature performance the LV-669 is certainly a very versatile motherboard which is suited for many environments and applications.

If you are into Video Podcasts, Video Chat or anything that you need a webcam for we recommend the Logitech Quick Cam Ultra Vision SE. It is pricey though at $129.99 but it is worth the investment.
