HEXUS.net posted a review on the eVGA 8800 Ultra KO

Arguably NVIDIA didn't need GeForce 8800 Ultra at all - the Radeon HD 2900 XT failed even to answer the performance question posed by GeForce 8800 GTS. So what do NVIDIA's partners do with 8800 Ultra when faced with that reality? Why, they overclock it, of course, and we're taking a close look at one example, the 520 eVGA 8800 Ultra KO.

See-through cases have never had a particular appeal to me, but today I have the Sunbeam Tech UFO Cube case which is, well, cube shaped and see-through; although not very UFO like. Let's have a look

Hardware Canucks posted DFI Infinity P965-S Dark S775 Motherboard Review

This time it's the DFI Infinity P965-S Dark from a company that has pioneered many inovations in enthusiast motherboards over the 25+ years they've been in business. While this board isn't the most innovative and is quite late to the P965 chipset race, it's definately at a good performance/price point for the enthusiast.

DFI made a name for itself in the enthusiast community by being one of the first motherboard manufacturers to recognize the market for a full range of bios settings "right out of the box" which beforehand were only available on engineering samples, or modded bios'.

Overclocking features like extended memory settings and the ability to apply ultra-high voltages to CPUs, Memory, and Chipsets are something we now take for granted, yet it's only been recently that such features have been available on mainstream motherboards.

Legit Reviews posted OCZ ProXstream 1000W Power Supply Review

The OCZ ProXstream 1000W Power Supply not only looks nice and has great warranty, but it also performs just fantastic. The rails on the unit hold up under load whether at default settings or overclocked. There was not one hick-up at all. You will not have any issues supplying enough power to your system with this unit. The unit also comes with enough connectors (and power) to run an SLi setup and more (it comes with four PCIe connectors)....

Virtual-Hideout posted OCZ 1GB 80x Secure Digital Dual Memory Review

With the OCZ SD Dual connection system, I no longer have to worry if I have my card reader with me or if the closest computer has the proper media slots. Instead, I just pop the top cover off and use a free USB port on the closest computer I can get a hold of. It definitely makes my life easier, and it can for you as well

Having enjoyed the recently released Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 Multiplayer Demo, I've put together a GRAW 2 Tweak Guide which covers all of the game's settings in detail, as well as providing advanced tweaks and gameplay tips. The guide will be updated when the full version of the game arrives later this month, but for now I encourage all GRAW 2 players to give it a read through as it likely has something you'll find useful.

Bjorn3D posted a review on the Antec Sonata III Case

Can a good thing get better? In an industry where changes are happening at an incredible pace, you don’t usually see things that have maintained the same looks and design for three generations. The Antec Sonata has stood the test of the time. Ever since the first Sonata entered the market back in 2003, it was one of the best looking cases that also packed a lot of features and functions. Throughout the last few years, the folks at Antec have kept the original design and added a few modifications here and there but maintained the overall aesthetics. Today, four years since the first Sonata's launch, Antec has released the third generation of Sonata and Bjorn3D has the privilege of reviewing this case and seeing what changes Antec has done with this case.

3D Game Man posted a review on the Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W Power Supply

There's no surprise that the Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W Power Supply performs very well. With 1200 watts it's clearly not intended for the budget market, but rather the hardcore gamer. Having a multiple video card setup, lots of other hardware, and overclocking requires a power supply of this wattage to keep everything stable. This product also has a quiet 140mm fan, lots of sleeved modular leads, and looks excellent. It is fairly long though, so it might not fit in some mid-tower cases and it's pricy, which is to be expected. Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the end.

ThinkComputers.org posted Antec MX-1 Actively Cooled Hard Drive Enclosure Review

Hard drive enclosures are becoming more and more popular as days progress. Why though? Because a lot of people today are on the move and need more storage than your average USB Flash Drive. The Antec MX-1 Actively Cooled Hard Drive Enclosure offers many features for the everyday user. Some features that we don't see a lot of on most other enclosures are an eSATA connection, on/off switch, the capability to stay cool, yet quiet at the same time.

OCC has published a new review of the Thermaltake MaxOrb CPU Cooler

When you overclock your system, one major concern that you have to worry about is your CPU temperature. If it gets too hot, you risk frying it like the egg you fried this morning for breakfast.

Today we're going to look at the Thermaltake MaxOrb CPU cooler, to see if it keeps your CPU from looking like that fried egg and to see how it compares amongst other coolers.

With prices getting lower and lower each day, notebooks are becoming the first option when buying a home computer, and that places new obstacles in front of them: to satisfy the multimedia and gaming needs of the owner. Although they still cannot measure up to the newest desktop solutions, modern mobile computers can offer more than decent performance as far as the games are concerned. That's why we decided to check out the situation on the market.

Logitech’s Premium Notebook headset is an interesting product with a blend of design, functionality and quality rolled into a single device. Although it’s foldable and storable in a hard plastic travel case, it’s certainly durable for everyday use. The travel case was something that we didn’t expect from Logitech at all, but again, they continue to impress us with their out-of-the-box thinking. How do they do it?

MadPenguin.org takes a look at Moonlight

Not too long ago, I shared my thoughts on Microsoft's introduction of Silverlight, their blatant lack of Linux support and how they were aiming at regaining their browser dominance. Well, it looks like the open source crowd has picked up the pieces again with a solution to conquer what ails the common Linux user. Silverlight, meet Moonlight.

Elite Bastards posted Apple Safari 3 public beta preview

After as simple an installation process as you could hope for (although requests to install Apple's Bonjour networking capabilities may confuse many non-Mac owners), fire up the application and - Oh my God, it looks like a Mac application! That's right, as per QuickTime and other Apple applications on the PC, the look of Safari is firmly entrenched in MacOS territory. Whether this is a good or bad thing is, of course, entirely subjective, although I do have to say it looks a little out of place on Windows Vista.

Debian Admin posted a screenshot tour of Xubuntu 7.04

Xubuntu is a complete GNU/Linux based operating system with an Ubuntu base. It is lighter on system requirements and tends to be more efficient than Ubuntu with GNOME or KDE, since it uses the Xfce Desktop environment, which makes it ideal for old or low-end machines, thin-client networks, or for those who would like to get more performance out of their hardware.
