ASUS P6X58D-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 Motherboard Review
Bigbruin.com has published a review on the ASUS P6X58D-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 Motherboard

The overclocking features of the ASUS P6X58D-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 motherboard should appeal to gamers, but the multi-GPU support has to be the key to that market. With support for NVIDIA's SLI and AMD's CrossFireX using up to three cards, the only excuse for poor performance in games might be between the keyboard and the chair.

Sunbeamtech Air Box USB 3.0 External HDD Enclosure Review
Madshrimps takes a look at the Sunbeamtech Air Box USB 3.0 External HDD Enclosure

It took a while for the external enclosure manufacturers to catch up with the motherboard makers. USB 3.0 however was introduced a while ago. Sadly at CeBIT 2010, we saw mainly prototypes, meaning they were not production ready. Sunbeamtech was the first specialist to send us a full blown USB3.0 3.5inch external enclosure branded under the Airbox name. External data backup via USB has always been painfully slow, surely compared to the more expensive Firewire and eSATA solutions. Will this USB3.0 external solution
be able to close the gap ? Let us see if we can stuff it with precious data at blistering speeds.

Cooler Master Storm Scourt Case Review
BURNED iN posted a review on the Cooler Master Storm Scourt Case

The Scout enclosure, from Cooler Master, is one of their mid-tower releases in the Storm line of products. As with most of the products in this line, dark paint and/or a brushed metal look is the norm. But, unlike many of them, the Scout doesn't have that out-of-the-box flare that we are familiar with. We can't wait to take a bit of a closer look to see what Cooler Master is hiding under the hood. We just expect some surprises on the inside, since they chose to keep the exterior boxy and rather modest. Feel free to tag along as we take a closer look at Cooler Master's Storm Scout.
