HEXUS.net posted a review on 25 LGA 775 CPU Coolers

That's right, 25 of 'em! All given a thorough testing in the HEXUS.labs.

In the lead up to our testing, we had to read a great deal of documentation to get up to speed with the LGA 775 specification. We needed to understand the rules that manufacturers are supposed to abide by and by just how much they are pushing the limits of the socket design.

TrustedReviews have looked at the BlackBerry Curve 8300

The Curve is certainly a neat little BlackBerry, small and light, and comfortable to use. I’d have liked Wi-Fi and 3G but at least RIM is clearly working hard at developing its multimedia capabilities. For a first attempt in that respect the Curve does pretty well.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Canon Selphy CP750

Canon created a range of useful dye-sublimation printers with its first Selphy releases, but now it has come to refresh them it has to inject new life into what are basically very similar designs. Unlike the ES1, which featured a ‘sit up and beg’ design, the CP750 is small and squat, as earlier Selphys were.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Sony VAIO VGN-TZ1MN

Sony has built on the good points of the TX Series but also taken some inspiration from the iconic X505VP and produced a truly stunning ultra-portable notebook. Sony has mastered the LED backlight technology and created the best notebook screen I’ve ever seen, while Intel’s new dual-core ULV mobile chip is also a triumph for the ultra-portable notebook platform. It could do with more memory, but other than that Sony has pretty much hit the target in every area.

Bjorn3D posted a review on the Thermaltake Purepower RX 500W & 600W

The boom for SLI / Crossfire cards as well as dual core CPUs brought us a lot of new products in the power supply market. As PC components become more powerful each year, we have to keep up with the power to feed them. This statement shouldn't be taken so seriously as there are plenty of mid range products that require half the power the big boys do. Die shrinks and low power consumption technology provide less budgeted customers to enjoy very best of PC computing.

On today's test bed we have two mid-range power supplies from Thermaltake: Purepower RX 500W and 600W -- both featuring cable management system. Knowing Thermaltake, these will perform marvelously.

Howtoforge posted a new guide about retrieving emails from remote servers with fetchmail under Debian GNU/Linux 4.0

Fetchmail is a program for retrieving emails from remote servers. Imagine you have five email accounts on five different servers. Of course, you do not want to connect to each of them to get your emails. This is where fetchmail comes into play. If you have a user account on a Linux server, you can make fetchmail download emails from remote servers and put them into just one mailbox (the one of your Linux user), from where you can retrieve them with your email client (e.g. Thunderbird or Outlook).

DV Hardware published a review of the Noctua NH-U12F processor cooler

Earlier this month I already reviewed Noctua's 80mm and 120mm fans and I was amazed how silent they were. The exact same 120mm fan is included in the NH-U12F bundle so even before I unpacked the product I already knew this would be a pretty quiet cooling solution. But being quiet isn't enough to be a good CPU cooler, the cooling performance also matters greatly. Read on to find out more about the Noctua NH-U12F's cooling performance..

ProjectPDA posted PDA Buyers Guide

Handheld PDA devices are available in many different sizes, so another factor that you must consider when choosing which to purchase is which PDA devices feel comfortable to you and which do not. Some PDA devices are very tiny and difficult to handle, and some are very large and simply aggravating to keep with you. It is important that you choose a PDA device which feels comfortable to you, because you are going to end up handling a lot on a daily basis. The size of your PDA and the keyboard on your PDA are both extremely important aspects worth considering when purchasing your PDA.

Legit Reviews compared ATI and NVIDIA on Company of Heroes DirectX 10

After testing the first DirectX 10 game patch on the popular title Company of Heroes we again find out that ATI finishes behind NVIDIA in DX10 performance tests. Sure, the AMD/ATI drivers are still new and need to be worked on, but it doesn't seem like the current Radeon 2900 XT with 512MB of GDDR3 memory has the muscle to compete with the GeForce 8 series on DirectX 10 game titles. The current Radeon 2900 XT with GDDR3 memory? It seems that later this month AMD will be releasing a new Radeon HD 2900 XT graphics card with 1GB of GDDR4 memory. AMD plans to take another shot at NVIDIA with...

InsideHW.com posted Biostar TA690G Review

Biostar made quite some turbulence with its "T-Series" of motherboards. Accessible, but high-quality motherboards truly made a "boom" on the Intel platform. They also had a considerable reputation for their AMD-based boards, one of which we have under the scope this time - TA690G motherboard with an AM2 socket. MicroATX boards are generally hampered with a bad layout, but we can only congratulate Biostar engineers, since they did the best layout we have seen on a microATX board so far. With low price and great features, this tiny board proved to be great choice even for enthusiasts.
