bit-tech.net published a review of ViewSonic's VX2435wm 24" widescreen monitor

ViewSonic has done some good things with this 24" widescreen monitor. Most importantly, image quality, though not flawless, is very good, with strong colour reproduction and a bright display. It's in design however, that it lets itself down, with a disappointing level of stand adjustability that pales in comparison to its competitors.

Virtual-Hideout posted Antec P190 Super Advanced Mid Tower Chassis Review

The Antec P190 Advanced Super Mid Tower has everything you could want in any fully functional enclosure. The several extra features that have been added similarly found the P182 enclosure are a welcomed addition. Not only do you gain the extra space behind the motherboard tray for wire management, you gain the benefits of excellent cooling thanks to the many case fans including the 200mm side panel fan, silenced removable hard drive bays, and extra sound dampening materials added to the chassis to break down the noise. And if this isn't enough features for you there are the included Neo-Linked 650 and 550 watt 'Neo Power' power supplies that simply won't let you down when you really need the power. And again, it just can't be stressed enough how reliable your power supplies must be when building a power house dual CPU or BTX form factor system.

Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Antec TP3-650 Rev. A2 TruePower Trio 650W PSU Ripple

The power supply unit is the single most important part of any computer. Regardless of the system there is a given rule: whether it is a simple workstation with integrated components or an advanced gaming system with fresh piece of technology available, everything requires power to operate. As anyone who has suffered the failure of a low-end power supply will tell you: not all power supply units (PSU’s) are created equal. Benchmark Reviews updates the original review with new features and load tested Oscilloscope ripple results for the A2 Revision Antec TruePower Trio 650W PSU.

InsideHW.com posted a review on the AMD Radeon HD 2600XT and HD 2400XT

Although the initial information was that AMD was going to launch the entire product gamma at once, from the strongest HD 2900XT all the way down to the weakest HD 2400Pro, something obviously went wrong. Therefore, it is only now that we received samples of their mid-range cards. However, first test leaves plenty to be desired.

Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the PQI U510 Card Drive 1GB

It is no denying that the PQI U510 is a unique product. Its main selling point is the wallet-size form factor as performance isn't exactly its forte. I would highly recommend the PQI U510 to anyone looking for a good USB flash drive, with capacities up to 32GB, in a thin card-size form factor.

techPowerUp posted a review on the SteelSeries SX

The SteelSeries SX gaming mouse pad is made from highly polished aluminum which gives this pad a completely new type of surface grip. In our testing we come to the conclusion that the pad is extremely accurate and great for fast paced gaming. The only drawback is the high price of almost $60.

techPowerUp posted a review on the Cyber Snipa Pro Gamer Mouse Matt

The Cyber Snipa Pro Gamer Mouse Matt is a perfectly sized cloth pad. It is surprisingly thin and comes packaged in a clear tube. The image on the pad gears this surface toward FPS gamers. The slighly rough surface may take a bit of getting used to, but actually works quite well. We take three different mice for a spin on the surface. The Cyber Snipa pad is sized perfectly for mid range gamers while still being small enough for high sensitity players and big enough if you use low sensitivity settings.

DragonSteelMods posted a review on the Evercool NP-601 Notebook Cooler

Keeping computers cool is something that everyone strives to do, but when you think of cooling for computers most people overlook their laptops. There are many options to cool your laptop, but today for review I have one from Evercool that features in addition to cooling fans, extra USB ports, a card reader and even two pull out drawers for storage. It's the Evercool NP-601 Notebook Cooler and I found that not only does it have all these cool features it actually does cool your notebook by almost ten degrees at load...

One of the most popular gems in the world is the diamond. It is pure, clean, and extremely eye catching. Today we have Diamond's XS 7.1 sound card and we're going to see if its product can captivate the ears much like a diamond does the eyes. We're going to find everything out about this card to see if the Dolby EX gives the extra edge in any tests. Will this card sound crisp and pure consistently throughout the vigorous tests? Will it be able to pump out quality sound when placed under high demand? And finally, how will it do against a card that is in its division? Let's open it up and find out!

Hardware Secrets posted a review on the Core 2 Duo E6750

We received from Intel a Core 2 Duo E6750 engineering sample, which is basically a Core 2 Duo E6700 with a 1,333 MHz FSB instead of 1,066 MHz. It will be launched later this summer together with several other Core 2 Duo models with the new 1,333 MHz FSB, and from the naming used on E6750 we can assume that Intel will use the number “50” on their model numbers to indicate the new external clock rate. Since we also had available a Core 2 Duo E6700 and a Core 2 Extreme QX6700 in our lab, we could make a terrific comparison between these three CPUs – as all three run internally at 2.66 GHz – to answer two basic questions: By how much the new 1,333 MHz FSB will improve PC performance? What is better, a quad-core CPU with 1,066 MHz FSB or a dual-core CPU with 1,333 MHz FSB? Read on.

Core 2 Duo E6750 Review

HotHardware.com posted a new article exploring the performance and overclockability of Intel's upcoming Core 2 Duo E6750 processor.

The E6750 differs from the older and similarly clocked E6700 in that its front side bus frequency has been increased to 1333MHz, but this isn't a simple speed bump. The E6750 is also based on a new stepping and revision of the Conroe-core which resulted in some excellent overclocking. How does almost 4GHz with the stock air-cooler sound? Head on over to the site and check it out.

OC Workbench posted a review on the BIOSTAR TF7050-M2 NVIDIA 7050-630A mainboard

BIOSTAR makes a come back with its first mATX board based on the NF 7050-630A (MCP68) chipset. As we already know, this chipset targets the video buff and potential HTPC builders for a full feature playback device supporting playback of 720p H.264 movies with ease at lower CPU utilisation in contrast to competiting chipsets. The board also comes with PS3.0 support with a max share memory of 256MB.

Most of the boards we see today only comes with a DVI output port. This makes it troublesome for users as they would require re-routing audio and need to get a DVI->HDMI converter if they intend to output to a LCD TV. BIOSTAR TF7050-M2 removed this hassle with a built in HDMI connector with HDCP to support playbck of protected HD DVD and Blu-ray Discs.In addition to the HDMI interface, a TV out port and a D-SUB is also integrated on board. So, if you do not have a HDCP compliant display yet, you can still use your current display or TV for playing back of non protected contents.

The board also comes with an impressive amount of overclocking options which allows you can overclock the AM2 board with CPU Vcore, Vdimm, NB
adjustments. The heatsink also helps to make the board cooler than its competitor's. Other features include RAID 5, USB, GbE. The package also
comes with a free HDMI->DVI converter.

With 20 programmable keys and three different game modes, it should satisfy those with even the most meticulous preferences. Laptop gamers would find it useful as it would be worlds of improvement over the built-in keyboard. It's comfortable to use, the software is straightforward, and the backlit keys look cool as well..
