ASUS EN9600GT Silent Review
Elite Bastards posted a review on the ASUS EN9600GT Silent video card

While many users are focused very much on performance alone, there is a significant subset of people who take great care in building silent or near-silent systems, be it for Home Theater PC use or simply to make for a quiet working or gaming environment. If you're one those people then today's review could be for you, as we take a look at the latest passively cooled graphics board to come from ASUS stable of parts, the EN9600GT Silent. With the potential for decent mid-range performance and, of course, silent running, can it prove to be a killer combination?

Kingston DataTraveler Micro Reader Review
Bios Magazine posted a review on the Kingston DataTraveler Micro Reader

You've got to hand it to Kingston Technology. Few companies offer such a wide range of memory products. Kingston designs, manufactures and distributes memory products for desktops, laptops, servers, printers, and Flash memory products for PDAs, mobile phones, digital cameras, and MP3 players. The company's flash memory range is no exception, covering everything from secure business drives to super-speedy models for enthusiasts. The company's latest product is a little different. The DataTraveler Micro Reader (64x20x10mm, 8.68g) is an all-in-one USB Flash drive and reader that can store, transfer and read content on mobile memory cards. It should be well received by the mobile community as it's a smart single-solution to navigate the plethora of devices and card formats on the market today.

Magix Movie Edit Pro 14 Plus Review
BIOS Magazine posted a review on the Magix Movie Edit Pro 14 Plus

There's no denying that Movie Edit Pro 14 Plus is excellent value for money, especially compared to Adobe's Premiere Elements and Pinnacle's Studio. In fact, MAGIX has thrown everything but the kitchen sink into the Plus version. It's not all rosy though, and we were disappointed by the two weighty - and off-putting - paper manuals and long-winded installation process; the latter is due to the fact that the main program is accompanied by a number of additional bundled programs, including a simple 3D animation program, photo editor and a program for compiling music playlists that you can use as soundtracks for your video projects. And while the interface looks great, it isn't as slick or intuitive as its competitors. Sort out these few annoyances and MAGIX could be onto a winner in the next version. However, for now we recommend you stick to Adobe's Premiere Elements, unless you're on a really tight budget.

XSReviews has reviewed the Coolermaster Z600 CPU cooler

With more and more emphasis being put on the cooling proficiency and the quietness of cooling products, many people are beginning to look try different ways to keeping their PC chilled at a reasonable noise level. One of the most popular methods is to purchase a passive cooler, I.E. one without a fan. But can these fanless coolers really live up to their fan-covered ancestors?

That's the question that begs to be answered, so Coolermaster have sent me the Z600 to check out.

Dell's XPS 730 H2C Gaming Rig Rocks the Lab
HotHardware posted a a review on the Dell XPS 730 H2C gaming PC

Dell's XPS branded products have come a long way since they first appeared in 1993. Starting life as a performance trim for the Dimension product line, Dell has nurtured XPS into a well-known and respected premium performance brand. While not all XPS branded products are specifically targeted at gamers, gaming has always been at the core of the product line-up. The XPS brand's flagship desktop and notebook products have always been heavily gaming oriented, but it looks like that is set to change.

The XPS 730 is Dell's latest XPS flagship desktop product, the fourth generation of the XPS 700 series, and it may be the last. Or at least the last XPS flagship product as we currently know them; large, aggressively styled behemoths sporting the latest hardware and adorned with colorful LED lighting. A week after the XPS 730 was launched, news regarding the demise of XPS as a gaming brand began to circulate. Since its acquisition of Alienware in the summer of 2006, Dell has effectively been operating two separate gaming brands with directly competing products. It was speculated that some changes, possibly in the form of consolidation of the two brands, would eventually be in order. It is now fairly clear that Dell is to focus on Alienware as its premier gaming brand in the future. But that didn't stop the company from producing the best XPS gaming to date. Head on over to the site and take a look...

Logitech V220 Cordless Mouse Review
Hardware Secrets posted Logitech V220 Cordless Mouse Review

Logitech currently has the Ferrari of notebook mice – the VX Revolution – to which we've given a stellar review. It's a great product, but sports a hefty price tag and it's a little too big considering it's a laptop mouse. There's now a viable alternative from Logitech in terms of size and price: the V220 cordless optical mouse. It has some cool features (rubber grip, programmable scroll wheel) and some cost-effective solutions, like having an optical sensor instead of a laser. But this doesn't mean it's any less precise than its laser-based counterparts, as we'll see further along in this review.

Sparkle Calibre GeForce 9600 GT Review
InsideHW.com has posted an article about graphics card Sparkle Calibre GeForce 9600 GT

Factory overclocked graphics cards are not novelty anymore. It's become more and more frequent practice that manufacturers launch parallel models with clocks determined by nVidia or ATI, and models with (more or less) raised clocks. It happens very often that factory overclocked graphics card reach maximum clock at lower value than "default" card would. So, that whole situation starts being not so interesting. But, things are never bad as they seem, and Sparkle Calibre 9600GT breaks the monotony.

Biostar TPower N750 Review
Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the Biostar TPower N750

The T-Power N750 comes loaded with features and accessories. BIOS options leave nothing to be desired by even the most adventurous overclocker, giving a solid platform for AMD fans. I love the package of accessories and software included and NVIDIA finally brings PCI Express 2.0 support to SLI configs for AMD CPUs. While onboard video is less than stellar, adding a high end video card will allow for some energy savings.

Thermaltake VH6000BWS Armor+ Review
OCC has published a new review on the Thermaltake VH6000BWS Armor+

Temperatures were about average in the Thermaltake Armor+, with the exception of the video card - which was helped by the 230mm intake fan and the optional PCI card fan. The case has enough room for any system builder, and is certified for NVIDIA's Tri-SLI, so there will be no cramping here. The removable motherboard tray is great feature, and should be standard in all computer cases. If removed, the two hard drive cages at the bottom of the Armor+ leave enough room to install a two-fan liquid cooling radiator, so you are not stuck with the LCS if you choose to go with an aftermarket liquid cooling setup. The number of 5.25" bays lets you expand your hardware to your hearts' content, as long as your motherboard can handle it. The case is quite heavy, so you might not be toting it to LAN parties.

Apevia opened its doors in March of 1999 with the goal of providing “state-of-the-art technology at fair and affordable prices.” The company may best be known for its gamer targeted PC cases, but they also carry other products - including PSUs. Today we have an Apevia 900 watt Warlock PSU ready for the test bench. With its clear acrylic side panels and multi color LED 135mm fan, it's obvious the Apevia 900 watt Warlock is target at the modder and gamer markets. But, has it “Got Game?” Let's find out.

Bgears b-Envi HTPC Enclosure Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Bgears b-Envi HTPC Enclosure

Bgears is a relatively new company that is creating some cool items that are being aimed at specialist areas of the PC market. An example of this is the HTPC enclosure being looked at today, the b-Envi. We plan on seeing if Bgears can come up with something that is different from the crowd, but at the same time we will check out the feature set to see if it is worthy of our hard-earned dollars.

The first thing you notice about the b-Envi is the small stature. While this isn't uncommon in an HTPC case, most manufacturers have gone the route of making the box look like a piece of stereo equipment. Bgears has turned a different direction and have opted for an appearance like the old SFF cases, which actually had enough room inside to do something with.
