IN-WIN AMMO USB Hard Drive Enclosure Review
TechwareLabs has a review of the IN-WIN AMMO USB Hard Drive Enclosure

There are a lot of hard drive enclosures out there. No, really! Go punch USB HDD enclosure into Google or NewEgg some time, you'll be buried in them. This makes it rather hard for any one enclosure to have much success. Generally, the only way to stand out is to make it a funny shape, or offer some unusual feature. IN-WIN have decided to do both with the AMMO 2.5" HDD enclosure, shaping it like the magazine of an AR-15 and offering hardware-based encryption with RFID token-based access. Is this combination enough to make it worth your while? Let's find out.

Verizon Wireless LG Ally Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Verizon Wireless LG Ally

Today for review I’ve got another phone for you, this time one for the Verizon network, it’s the LG Ally, an Android based phone that they’re calling a superphone. The Ally is running the newer version of Android, and for the most part it seems similar to other versions, but it does seem much snappier and quicker, but it could be the hardware in the phone that helps that along. I’ve enjoyed my time with this phone, it has a nice sized full QWERTY keyboard, yes it’s slider, but the buttons are nice to type on for whatever you’re doing be texting or sending an email. I’m surprised with the battery life, it’s very good, my experience with Android based phones and battery life hasn’t been a good one, but the LG Ally can last a couple days without recharging it. The Ally also features a decent 3.2Mp camera that even has a macro mode, so read on to learn more about a fairly decent phone from Verizon and LG…

ZOTAC GTX480 Review
ITShootOut.com have just released a review of the ZOTAX GTX480 video card

The GTX 480 is late. The GTX 480 is hot. Both of these facts have now been established by both ourselves and a gazillion other review sites. We will therefore not dwell upon these factors in this review of the first Fermi card from Zotac to enter the ITShootout.com labs. Since XFX’s partial defection to ATi last year, Zotac has become an increasingly important NVIDIA release partner here in the UK. You’ll probably be familiar with the brand by now if you like to keep abreast of developments in IT.

Powercolor Radeon HD 5550 Review
OCC has published a review on the Powercolor Radeon HD 5550

I was impressed with the extra power I gained from the overclock, seeing over a 10FPS boost in some cases. That is free power, and at $70 you can't beat it. The other reason I was impressed was the fact that this card requires no supplementary power connections from your power supply, everything the card needed for the increases was able to be pumped right through the PCI-E port.

MSI Wind U230-040 Review - MSI's Atom Smasher
PC Perspective checked out the MSI Wind U230-040

The MSI Wind U230 with AMD components has potential to be an Intel Atom / NVIDIA ION killer. The performance and price is right, so why wouldn't you get one? We dig a bit deeper. What is notable from these specifications is the Athlon 64 X2 L335 CPU which is dual-core and (more or less) comparable to the Intel Atom 330. There is also HDMI out which is something that will come in handy for connecting an external display.
