TrustedReviews have looked at the ViewSonic VX2435wm 24in LCD Monitor

One can't help but feel slightly ambivalent about ViewSonic. In many regards its monitors have a great pedigree, but it has always suffered in the knowledge that the likes of Samsung, Dell and BenQ seem to punch just a little too high for comfort. But, that's no reason to dismiss ViewSonic out of hand and this 24in LCD has all the raw attributes to be a very good monitor.

InsideHW.com posted Genius MaxFire Pandora & Pandora Pro Review

Beside the standard gamer desktop systems, there are more and more "muscled" gaming notebooks available. It is no longer strange to set all the options to "high" when playing games on a notebook, even in great widescreen resolutions. If you already have the opportunity to play the newest Need for Speed on the road or in a park, why not play it with a gamepad?

MadPenguin.org posted Dell vs. System76 Ubuntu Comparison

Now that Dell has entered into the Linux OEM marketplace, we have to consider how this is going to affect other companies that have already been selling Linux-ready PCs for some time now. In short, what Dell is doing is not really news by itself. It is taking an existing concept and simply making it something that has been able to really gain some press. Great for them, but are they really doing anything productive for the Linux cause in the long run?

CoolTechZone.com posted Future Sonics Atrio M8 Earphones Review

Last week, we had the chance to take a look at amazing sounding, yet cost effective earphones from a relatively unknown brand, Future Sonics. The Future Sonics Atrio M5 earphones were a pure pleasure to use and the M8 are similar to the M5 in almost all ways, except for the color scheme.

PC Stats posted ECS AMD690GM-M2 AMD 690G Motherboard Review

At first glance the little purple ECS AMD690GM-M2 motherboard is probably more aimed towards the workstation market with both DVI and analog monitor support. If you choose to hook up the motherboard to your TV though that can be done by picking up a DVI-to-HDMI converter. The converter dongle is available at most major computer stores and would extend the AMD690GM-M2's multimedia capabilities.

Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Logitech Harmony 890 Pro Advanced Universal Remote

Since none of the manufacturers filling my entertainment system shelves can offer more than simple one-device remotes, I was in need of either a deluxe remote control caddy with labeled organizer, or I would need to get a universal remote control and take a day off work just to program it. It was a quest for the unobtainable, a journey for the unthinkable; I wanted to replace a collection of remote controls with... One Remote to Control Them All. Logitech heard my cries of despair, and presented the Harmony 890 Pro Advanced Universal Remote Control to save the day.

DragonSteelMods posted a review on the Mvix MV-4000U Media Center

A little bit a go I took a look at the Vizo Milano, a multimedia enclosure that I found fairly decent but yet lacking a bit. Today for review I have the MV-4000U Media Center from Mvix, this enclosure is similar to the Milano but with more features and none of the problems. The Mvix V-4000U Media center is Mvixs' low end model, but yet it is still a very capable and feature packed device that not only looks great but performs flawlessly in everything it does. Read on to learn more about this great product...

TheTechLounge posted a review on the Dell UltraSharp 2707WFP 27" LCD Monitor

Behemoth that Dell is, their market share has begun to shrink in the face of competition from the likes of HP and Apple. As we've seen, though, one area that Dell doesn't slack in is the quality of their monitors. And at a regular selling price of $1199, it needs to be high quality. Of course, Dell is constantly running promotions and coupons, so if you keep an eye on our Hot Deals page you should be able to get one for about $100 less. So how did the Dell 2707WFP fare after three weeks on my desk? Well, suffice to say the desk feels awfully small.

PC Apex posted a review on the Cooler Master CM Media 280/281 HTPC Case

As the size of a HTPC shrinks, so do the performance and upgrade options. You're generally stuck with Micro-ATX or the like for motherboards which offer fewer features than their full-size cousins. Things like riser cards and slim CD/DVD drives add to the cost and you're lucky if you get two hard drive bays and a single 5 1/4 bay. Few slim HTPC's support a full size power supply and don't even think about high-end video cards and cooling.

Tweaknews.net posted a review on the Cooljag Falcon 92-AL AMD/INTEL CPU Cooler

It takes a fair amount of guts to enter an established market with a new product and little name recognition. Especially the enthusiast CPU cooler market. You'd better have a good product with some solid performance. With the Falcon 92-Al, it looks like Cooljag will be making a name for themselves. This cooler easily outperforms the stocker and does so in a very quiet, unassuming manner.

This document describes how to install a Postfix mail server that is based on virtual users and domains, i.e. users and domains that are in a MySQL database. I will also demonstrate the installation and configuration of Courier (Courier-POP3, Courier-IMAP), so that Courier can authenticate against the same MySQL database Postfix uses.

Elite Bastards posted Thermaltake Toughpower 1000W power supply review

The rest of the Toughpower's connectivity comes courtesy of its modularity, meaning that you can connect as few or as many of the various connectors as you like. This connectivity is made up of support for up to eight Serial ATA power connectors and eight Molex connectors (with two floppy drive connectors thrown into the bargain) for most of your peripheral power, as well as the piece de resistance of the unit, with three six-pin and three eight-pin PCI Express power connectors included for all of your graphics board needs - More than enough to run even two Radeon HD 2900 XT boards in CrossFire.
