Bigbruin.com posted a review on the Hiper Osiris ATX Tower Case

The Osiris turned out to be one beautiful case. Hiper has really made an excellent product, with great attention to detail. It appears refined and polished, and in no way comes off as gaudy. No matter what side you look to you will find it blends perfectly with the rest. If you are looking for a clean, easy to work with, extremely well made mid-tower case, you should definitely consider the Osiris.

Thermaltake DuOrb CPU Cooler Review
ASE Labs posted a review on the Thermaltake DuOrb CPU Cooler

My first orb was the Thermaltake Golden Orb way back when the Abit BP6 was the thing to have. Imagine having to shave a bit of a heatsink off to have it fit on your motherboard. Those were the days when you had to work hard for every ounce of performance. These days, you can squeeze so much out of new CPUs. Thermaltake has released a brand new orb, the DuOrb. It combines heatpipes and two huge orb coolers.

Razer Mako 2.1 Speaker System Reviewed
TheTechLounge posted a review on the Razer Mako 2.1 Speaker System

Razer's entrance into the gaming sound arena was impressive and simple, following the path they'd cut for input devices. Their audio lineup includes a superb sound card, a headset, and a 2.1 speaker system. Their sleek style stands out first, and, priced as they are-- $400--quality is expected. Re-thinking the very shape of a speaker seems appropriate. Not only for Razer, but also for THX, their partner in this matte-finish affair. The center of the re-design is simple: point the drivers down, bounce the sound out in every direction. And now every spot is the sweet spot. But their combined forces multiply marketing, add to the technical BS, and I say there are faults to find.

Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP 24" Widescreen LCD Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP 24" Widescreen LCD

Dell's lineup of flat panel displays have proven themselves to be reliable, stylish, and typically right on par price-wise with some of the most inexpensive LCD monitors on the market. They've delivered exceptional bang for the buck, and throughout the years, they've managed to improve the quality of the screens and the overall feature sets while overall prices have gone down. While this is also true for the rest of the monitor industry, Dell has retained their reputation for reliability, which still sticks with them today. Sure, Dell displays don't have the raw sexiness of Apple's Cinema series displays, but they're typically quite a bit cheaper while offering more functionality.

Perhaps the best part of Dell's monitor division is that they never slow down. Around every year or so, we typically see Dell launch refreshes of their monitor designs, which typically include updated bezel styling, upgraded features, and new connectivity options. This year is no exception, and Dell is getting pretty feisty with its new WFP lineup. Today, we'll be looking at the 24" model, which many (including us) consider to be the sweet spot in terms of price, productivity, and raw size. Studies have often shown 24" displays to be the best for price/productivity, even more so than 30" displays, as many find screens larger than 24" hard to navigate due to having so much space.

Without further ado, let's meet the latest display in Dell's arsenal, the 24" Ultrasharp 2408WFP.

Sigma Unicorn Mid-Tower Case Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Sigma Unicorn Mid-Tower Case

Today we're going to have a look at one of Sigma's newer cases, the Unicorn. The Unicorn is a standard steel mid-tower case, finished in black with red LEDs. Of course, we all want our case to turn heads in one way or another, but are we willing to sink low enough to name our case the Unicorn?

Steganos Password Manager 2009 Review
Bios Magazine takes a look at Steganos Password Manager 2009

We all know that we should use a different password for every login page, but remembering each password is the biggest headache ever. An effective option is to store and encrypt your passwords digitally, to protect them from others, and then generate passwords which can be carried via a USB stick for use on work computers, laptops and Pocket PCs. Steganos' Password Manager 2009 is an effective centralised password manager that enables you to keep all of your passwords under lock and key, take them with you and access them as required. There are plenty of freeware options on the market, but Password Manager 2009 offers most of the features you should need, though Mac OS, Linux and Palm OS users will need to look elsewhere.

Palit 9600GSO Sonic 768MB Review
Neoseeker reviewed the sort-of new 9600GSO.

Although the 9600GSO *is* the newest addition to NVIDIA's ninth generation, it isn't exactly as new as one might think. The standard 9600GSO shares all of the same specifications as does the 8800GS, which came out in January of this year. Although the under-reviewed 8800GS did not weigh down many North American hardware shelves, in Europe this card obtained a slightly more noticeable reputation as a less expensive, well-performing, sort-of "8800 GT Lite", with significant overclocking potential. While being re-packaged as 9600 GSO might annoy those who believe they are getting the latest product still hot out of NVIDIA's fabs, this card nonetheless has a combination of enticing specifications that could point towards a gaming bargain.

QNAP NVR-1012 Wireless Network Surveillance Kit Review
Benchmark Reviews has posted a review on the QNAP NVR-1012 Wireless Network Surveillance Kit

The age old saying of "Love thy Neighbor" may still be heard on any given Sunday and will likely receive a positive reception. However, if the saying happened to be "Trust thy Neighbor" the response would most likely be a little different. Gone are the days were one can feel comfortable leaving their house or cars unlocked, trusting that your employees are honest, or even that the babysitter is not mistreating your child. It is rare that you walk into a store nowadays without being watched by electronic eyes. While to some that may be troubling, the fact of the matter is, it is becoming more and more a necessity. In the past, those high tech security systems were reserved for the business that was forced to justify the expense or the rich guy that could afford the rather large expense of not only purchasing the system but having it professionally installed.

Today Benchmark Reviews will be taking a look at a new product that hopes to reduce not only the cost barrier of the home/small office security system, but also virtually eliminate the installation hassle, the NVR-1012 from Qnap.

Tuniq Miniplant 950W Review
OCC has published a new review on the Tuniq Miniplant 950W

I was pleased to see that the Miniplant came with a 3-year warranty, which adds a certain amount of value to the unit. The Miniplant comes with a very large price tag that could be hard to justify, however this power supply was able to deliver decent performance for what I could test with. When added in with the warranty I believe that it would be worth the price. As for SLI Ready I could not located this PSU anywhere on Nvidia's site as a recommended PSU for SLI setups.

BFG 8800 GT OCX w/ ThermoIntelligence Video Card Review
I4U NEWS published a review of the BFG 8800 GT OCX w/ ThermoIntelligence Video Card.

Today we are testing out the BFG 8800 GT OCX with ThermoIntelligence video card. This 8800 GT retails for a bit over $200 and offers the best performance you will find in a 8800 GT video card. The performance that BFG gets out of the 8800 GT OCX is very impressive. The 8800 GT OCX is a very well priced card considering the performance it delivers with an online retail price of $209.99. This is the best performing 8800 GT I have tested.
