bit-tech published a review of the Xilence X1 gaming case

All-in-all, the X1 gaming case is an interesting little beastie from Xilence. Its exterior look is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, akin only to Marmite in the way it inspires both anger and adoration, while its interior is an odd mixture of roominess and useless features. Ultimately, it won't be the chassis of choice for everyone, but buyers who do pick one up will be able to turn out some modest performance with a minimum of fuss, meaning the X1 is a decent all-rounder though it excels in nothing at all.

Bigbruin.com posted a review on the Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750GB External Hard Drive

The five year warranty is another key selling point on the FreeAgent Pro. While you could easily add a Seagate drive (with its own 5 year warranty) to any old enclosure, Seagate has bundled the whole thing together for you, thrown in some useful software, and then applied their industry leading warranty to the whole thing.

Bjorn3D checked out the Tagan A+ Black Pearl Case

Today's society demands a high level of versatility. From our phones that can play music and organize our schedule to our computers that can play Hi-Def movies while surfing the web and gaming. So it should come as no surprise that we demand more from a computer case than just a plain beige shell to keep our stuff safe. We want function. We want options. We want style! In the past you were considered lucky if you got 2 of them in the same chassis, but that was the past. Now I give you a glimpse of the future, today. The Tagan A+ Black Pearl full tower case. You want functionality? You have a 4-channel fan controller and temp gauge with LCD readout and evaporate thermal zones. You want options? How about water and air cooling ready. You want style? This case is gorgeous.

R&B Mods checked out the Coolink Silentator CPU Cooler

Today I'll be reviewing the latest CPU cooler offering from Coolink- the Silentator CPU Cooler. This is the first time we've had a chance to review a product from this company so it should be interesting to see how it performs. This large horizontal cooler has a simple yet attractive design, but will its performance be on par with other CPU coolers? And what application is it better suited for- a silent PC build or a gaming/overclocking build? Let's find out.

I4U NEWS reviews the Toshiba USB 2.0 200GB External Hard Drive.

The Toshiba drive isn't the fastest external drive around, but it more than makes up for what it lacks in speed on portability and ease of use.Typically, with external hard drives you need to plug them into a USB port to interface with your PC and plug them into the AC outlet to power the drive itself. Toshiba used a very power efficient notebook drive that can draw all of the power it needs directly from the PC USB port.

Listening to music on the them was Amazing, never in any headset and one so tiny have I heard lifelike sound and Bass like I did on the Full Metal Jackets. From the first moment you hear your tune your ears are instantly flooded with outstanding sounds that makes very tune sound crisper, even better then it did before you had the Full Metal Jackets..

Virtual-Hideout posted ICY DOCK MB448UR Removable HDD Rack Review

Data storage is the most vital part of a computer system... so what do we do with the extra hard drives after we upgrade to a larger size? What we do is make those smaller, unused drives into portable drives. In today's review we will be going over the ICY DOCK Internal Removable HDD Rack. This rack is designed to be installed in a 3.5" bay and use 2.5" notebook hard drives. The removable part comes into play with a simple push on the hard drive enclosure, and the unit unlocks and can be removed. This allows the user to take the enclosure and the supplied USB for use on a separate computer.

XSReviews has reviewed the abit AN-M2D motherboard

In my mind, all motherboards are created the same. You buy one for your processor and your RAM. However, this is one time when I'm wrong... Today I have Abit's AN-M2HD which features the media moguls favourite; HDMI.

HEXUS.net posted a review on the Thermaltake Soprano DX

We're taking a look at a new all-aluminium chassis from Thermaltake, the £85 Soprano DX. Apart from the front door, it looks just like the previous Soprano model. So is this a simple rehash or has Thermaltake done something substantial to improve one of its more popular products?

Mikhailtech posted a review on the Buffalo Wireless-G USB Adapter Review

The installation process is extremely simple. Once you plug it in, Windows (XP) will go through the motions of recognizing the drive. Then the
firmware kicks in. A flashing screen appears that reads "preparing for
installation". A few seconds later a typical installer window comes up. The neat thing about this is that it takes you through a Windows-style installation,
but instead of waiting for you to click next, locate drivers, etc, it does
it all for you. All you do is sit there and watch the screens go by. Once
it's set up, you're presented with a 3-tab network connection tab.

BurnOutPC.com has just posted their review on the Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultra watercooling kit coupled with the Apogee GT Waterblock

The H20-220 Apex Ultra is aimed at overclockers and people who want the best there is when using a dual 120mm radiator. Therefor it doesn't come cheap. It's sold for around 280 dollars but it's well worth the money. Craftmanship and quality are the two reasons you might want to go with something like this. Competition is tough, especially from Germany. But Swiftech has been doing it's thing long enough to know what works and what doesn't. Their new improved small sized reservoir is much better than the one im used to from their previous kits and the new Apogee GT block not only looks nice, it performs great too! And installation was a breeze.

FrostyTech posted a review on the Scythe Kama Cross SCKC-1000 Heatsink

This week FrostyTech is testing out the Scythe Kama Cross (SCKC-1000) heatsink. This puppy takes on a unique shape, a little clever fin geometry, and the ubiquitous copper heatpipe to get the job done. At first glance the Scythe Kama Cross has everything it should need to be successful, but as always we'll wait until the thermal results are in...

techPowerUp posted a review on the Super Talent DH Series 200x 1 GB

Super Talent has taken their classic enclosure for USB 2.0 flash memory and stuffed it with a 200x device. This means it should be one of the fastest memory sticks out there with more than 30 MB/s. These benchmark results together with the sturdy aluminum casing make this a rock solid choice.

HardwareLogic posted a review on the Alienware Area-51 7500 System

Perhaps one of the most recognizable name brands in the boutique OEM system market, Alienware's built a reputation on their trademark alien-themed cases with high end components under the hood. The Area-51 has been a staple in their lineup, and today HardwareLogic abducts a build for our own autopsy. Will we uncover out-of-this-world performance, or are these rigs better left in outer space?

DragonSteelMods has posted a review on the Thermaltake iXoft Notebook Cooling Pad

Today I have another notebook cooler for review, but this one is a bit different, at first glance it looks kinda like a heating pad or maybe a mini quilt, as odd as it looks though it really does work. The product is the iXoft Notebook Cooling Pad from our friends at Thermaltake, and it is truly a fan less cooling solution that works very well. So read on to check it out and see just how well it does work...

OCC has published a new review of the Coolink Silentator Heatpipe Cooler

Being a reviewer, Coolink has provided me with 3 different mounting kits and a required mounting kit (pressure springs and fastening brackets). These were for LGA 775, AM2 and K8 (754, 939 and 940). However, as a consumer, you must choose which kit you need before purchasing, as the Silentator will be available in one of these three varieties. Coolink also provide a mounting bracket for a fan controller, as well as a long steel screwdriver with a 90 degree bend in it. This is required for mounting in some cases, as the mounting bolt must be accessed from through the cooler itself (seen later). Some extra goodies include a 3-pin fan to Molex adaptor (in the event that you don't have a spare motherboard 3-pin header), some thermal paste and a second fan mounting kit. The Silentator allows for two 120mm fans to be attached. Very generous. Finally, a lovely booklet is included with a rubbery case sticker. The book was the part that made me laugh - "...my computer is so silent that I can hear the snowflakes falling.

ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Thermaltake Bach VB8000BNS HTPC Case

The Bach is intended to be an HTPC case. The idea of using a PC as an integral part of a total home entertainment system has been around for quite a while, but only now has it really become practical as the quality of consumer sound cards goes up, and the prices of digital HDTVs come down. Looking at the attractive packaging graphics of the Bach, it is obvious that Thermaltake isn't marketing this case towards the gamer, overclocker, or modder. No dragons, sniper rifles, or plasma rockets here. The person buying this case will sip S. Pellegrino rather than guzzle Full Throttle.

Benchmarkreviews posted a review on the Thermaltake Toughpower W0133RU 1200W Modular PSU

It's difficult to justify the need for a 1200W power supply unit, since every appliance in my entire house would need to be combined just to consume this much electricity. However, if you are trying to build a better Death Star, or just simply trying to play Star Wars on your super-computer, the future of high-output PSU's is here. Channel Well Technology designed the Toughpower W0133RU 1200W power supply for Thermaltake, and it provides enough juice to sustain a small village, but Benchmark Reviews will test voltage regulation and power ripple before we give our praise.

The TechZone has posted a review of OCZ Technology Secure Digital Dual

Clearly, the single greatest feature that makes this SD card different is the fact that it quickly and easily converts into a USB flash drive. Approximately one-third of the memory card slides off to reveal a USB connector, making it very easy for you to transfer files to and from just about any computer. This means that you no longer have to fumble with external memory card readers and you don't have to worry about whether or not your friend's laptop has an SD card slot.
