techPowerUp posted a review on the Akasa AllInOne Control Panel

The AllInOne control panel from Akasa offers, just as the name implies, connectivity of all kinds. You will also get a small LCD display to control two fans and two temperature diodes. The unit itself is of high quality and the clean design should look great inside a case - even the red one.

bit-tech published a review of Creative's X-Fi XtremeGamer soundcard

For around £62 (inc. VAT), (or £56 if you are a regular contributor in our community and qualify for free delivery with Scan) the Creative XtremeGamer is a serious bargain. You might be a bit wary of investing in a PCI card, but the slots should still be around in motherboards for a few years yet, and it's a small investment compared to shelling out £150-plus for the top models. It's Vista support is really very good, although we'd still like Creative to include a task bar icon like they do in Windows XP.

Okay, you don't get the 64MB of X-RAM or I/O connector for expansion, but you still get a very capable card for entertainment, gaming and audio creation. Some people would argue that on-board sound does the job just fine, especially since many now offer the same extra Dolby and DTS that discrete cards use, but the sound quality of the XtremeGamer is just head and shoulders over anything on-board.

OCC has published a new article on Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific (PC)

Jumping into the game like I often do, I installed it and put the manual to the side (it is a nice thick one, so I figured I would probably need it soon). I jumped right into a mission and promptly got destroyed. Okay, maybe I jumped in a little too quick. This time around I decided to try out the training missions; everyone could use a little help, right? So I went through the five training sessions:

Virtual-Hideout posted SunbeamTech Freezing Storm ATX Enclosure Review

In this review we get the chance to look over a new enclosure from SunBeam Tech. This enclosure is named the Freezing Storm... Brrrrrr! The enclosure comes in Silver and Black and has a windowed panel. Some of the features include the Double Core-Fan design and tool free installation. This feature makes install a breeze and speaking of breeze, the internal fans should keep things on the cool side.

Viper Lair posted a review on the Antec P182 ATX Case

Although I have never used any other top end cases I have had a chance to take a look at several and the Antec Performance One Series (P150 - P190) has always been at the top if my list. The changes made to the P182 are a huge step forward IMO, I only have one gripe and that's the placement of the fan in the lower chamber.

TheTechLounge takes a look at Apple's iPhone

I arrive at the mall here in Las Vegas where the Apple store is located around 10:45 AM on Friday. An eight hour wait would lay ahead of me as I waited in line for that once in a lifetime product. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a big water bottle later, it was six o'clock and we were cheering (as well as being cheered on by Apple store employees) as the Apple store reopened and ushered in their first customer for the new phone.

Tweaknews.net posted a review on the Sapphire ATI Radeon X1950 PRO AGP Videocard

Overall, this videocard is an excellent replacement for anyone trying to get an extra year or so out of their exist AGP enabled computer. For a small US$180 investment, you can game with the rest of them and enjoy comfortable framerates from a computer that some companies are trying to convince you is "out of date" which you know is completely false.
