AMD FirePro V4800 & FirePro V7800 Review
Phoronix posted a review on the AMD FirePro V4800 & FirePro V7800 under Linux

Last month we reviewed the ATI FirePro V8800, which is the newest ultra high-end workstation graphics card from AMD that is based upon the Evergreen graphics processor found in the consumer-grade Radeon HD 5000 series. We were blown away by the performance of the FirePro V8800 and then we subsequently reviewed the FirePro V3800 and FirePro V5800 when they launched later in the month. The FirePro V3800 was designed for entry-level workstation customers while the V5800 was to fill the mid-range void. For those looking into an entry-to-mid-range or high-end workstation graphics card, today we are completing our look at AMD's Evergreen-based FirePro family with a review of the ATI FirePro V4800 and ATI FirePro V7800.

Galaxy GeForce GTX 470 GC Video Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Galaxy GeForce GTX 470 GC Video Card

It hasn't taken long for companies to start jumping on the bandwagon when it comes to modified versions of the GTX 400 series. We don't mean the normal bump in clock speeds, though; instead we're talking full on cooler redesigning.

The first update to the GTX 470 comes from Galaxy. It carries with it everything we want, including a new cooler that looks the goods along with an overclock. Looks can be deceiving, though; the Galaxy GTX 470 GC card might only look the goods and do nothing extra over the stock one. But let's hope this isn't the case.

TweakTown posted a review on the ViewSonic VPC190 All in One Desktop Computer

ViewSonic has been in the computer display market for a long time, but has only recently stepped into the computer market. The company has a few ultraportable machines that include some really good models and a few that aren’t so great.

Along with the ultraportable market, ViewSonic also entered into the All in One (AIO) market as well with a line of AIO machines that are based on netbook hardware. Today I am looking at one such machine with the ViewSonic VPC190.

AVADirect Clevo X8100 Core i7 Gaming Notebook Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the AVADirect Clevo X8100 Core i7 Gaming Notebook

There are two main types of road warriors in this world. First, there are the ones who value portability over all else. These users are more concerned with battery life and ease of transportation than they are with raw performance, and it's because of them that netbooks -- the very epitome of portability -- have become such a popular market segment. At the other end of the spectrum sit the users who crave as much performance as they can get, and they're willing to trade battery life and lightweight designs to get it. At the extreme end, we call these mobile PCs 'desktop replacements,' which is exactly what they are.

Boutique system builder AVADirect deals with PCs of all shapes and sizes, and the one we're looking at today -- the Clevo X8100 -- is every bit a desktop replacement rig, and then some...

Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go USB Modem Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go USB Modem

Today for review I've got the Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go USB Modem that works on the Virgin Mobile wireless network offering you the ability to stay connected quickly and easily by just plugging in what resembles USB thumbdrive into you laptop or netbook. It's very simple to use, it's plug and play really, and the Modem doubles as a microSD card reader so you can transport data with you or even read the card from you phone. The speeds I got are decent, but not blazingly fast, then again I'm accustomed to 20/30 FIOS, so pretty much everything seems slow to me, but they're what you'd expect from a wireless cell phone provider in terms of speed. So read on to learn more..

Today for review I've got a quick one actually, it's a set of cables from NZXT. They're just called Premium Cables, and for good reason they're very nicely made. These cables are essentially extensions for other cables you may already have coming from your PSU, and that can make them very useful for anyone really.

Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 Motherboard Review
iXBT Labs posted a review on the Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 Motherboard

The rollout of the 890FX chipset completes AMD's gaming platform of 2010. As stated above, the new chipset is quite solid and worthy of enthusiasts' attention. Speaking of Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7, it has expectedly rich functionality. One distinctive feature is the original chipset cooling solution.

Coolermaster Vortex Plus Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted a review on the Coolermaster Vortex Plus Heatsink

The Coolermaster Vortex Plus heatsink stands 83mm tall, in total. A 25mm thick, 92mm PWM fan exhausts downward so waste air impinges on a lower extruded aluminum heatsink that sits atop the processor. It's both a good use of space for additional cooling surface area and an admission by heatsink designers that the aluminum fins above aren't getting the whole job done by themselves.

External hard drives are still used quite often, I actually have 4 external hard drives hooked up to my main machine right now.

Flash drives may not be the marquee products like graphics cards and processors are, they do have their place in the PC market. In the last few years, both speed and capacity have increased exponentially while we are now seeing the dawn of the USB 3.0 age with its potential for absolutely blistering performance. Corsair on the other hand recently released their Voyager GTR series of flash drives that promise to push the limits of the current USB 2.0 interface and in this review we take a look at the 32GB version.

ZAWARD ZCJ013 Vapor 120 Review
OCC has published a review on the ZAWARD ZCJ013 Vapor 120

The base could be smoother and the heat fins could be soldered in, but everything seems good to go. Performance was great and the dimpling may have worked to silence the fan some as operational noise was quieter than the Nvidia GTX260 blower fan running on automatic speed. It wasn't quite top dog, but it was close and only lost some ground at the overclocked load testing.

Synology DS210j DiskStation Network Attached Storage (NAS) Review
Futurelooks posted a review on the Synology DS210j DiskStation Network Attached Storage (NAS)

If you're looking for something much more versatile than a regular external hard drive, you might want to consider paying the premium to invest in some network attached storage. While buying a NAS and the necessary hard drives will be more expensive, the increased versatility and functionality are worth it. With the price of network attached storage devices as well as large hard drives coming down in price in the last couple years, the uptake of such devices have grown dramatically.
