Sapphire HD 5550 Ultimate Edition Videocard Review
Tweaknews posted a review on the Sapphire HD 5550 Ultimate Edition Videocard

Sapphire's Ultimate Edition HD 5550 is a videocard that has the structure and poise of a good videocard, but is lacking in a couple fundamental foundation elements to be deemed anything "Ultimate".

ASUS ARES Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the ASUS ARES

We test and review the worlds fastest single graphics card on the globe, the ASUS ARES. An uber-high-enthusiast targeted product intended to create a lot of buzz and potentially to have a lot of marketing value. But face fact is also that there is a small group of end-users actually really interested it in, regardless of price and deficits. So with this round of realizing something fun, extra ordinary and sure prices very steep ASUS went back to the drawing board. They came up with a dual-GPU design solution based off Radeon 5970, but an overall better design, new PCB, higher clock frequencies on GPUs and more memory (2GB per GPU).

Then they threw improved voltage regulation management into the mix and added a new cooler with the weight of a small baby on top of the GPUs to deliver something really special.

Wanna meet the world's fastest graphics card ?

Antec Dark Fleet DF-85 Full Tower Case Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Antec Dark Fleet DF-85 Full Tower Case

Antec really has not really introduced anything super ground breaking in a long time. I mean they did start their gaming case line with the 900 case and some other cases followed, but they have had the same style cases for quite some time. This year at CES I was extremely excited when I saw a set of cases that looked nothing like that Antec cases of the past and finally brought them up to date internally. The cases I’m talking about are the Dark Fleet series. This new series has 3 cases, 2 mid towers and 1 full tower. Today we will be looking at the full tower, the DF-85. This case features so many features we can’t list them all here! So go ahead and read on as we check out the Dark Fleet DF-85!

ShockWave SU-201 Review
OCC has published a review on the ShockWave SU-201

The ShockWave SU-201s were less than impressive and a letdown. The sound quality was only marginally better than what comes with my laptop, and they require power provided by the USB port while a second TRS connection is needed for the audio. The layout of speakers is also disappointing due to the location of the volume control dial. As the volume is increased on the SU-201s, distortion takes over and whatever you are listening to becomes nothing more than a muddy mess.

NZXT Sentry LXE Touch-Screen Fan Controller Review
Techgage.com posted a review on the NZXT Sentry LXE Touch-Screen Fan Controller

Although NZXT produces a wide-range of products, its fan controllers have become one of the highlights of its line-ups. The reasons are threefold: features, performance and price. We were left quite impressed with earlier Sentry models, and we can say that NZXT has done it once again with its Sentry LXE.

ASUS P6X58D-E Review
PureOverclock has published a review of the ASUS P6X58D-E mothreboard.

As the big brother to the P55, the LGA1366 socket X58 chipset has been lagging behind in terms of new features that have been implemented in the other chipsets, specifically USB 3.0 and SATA III 6Gb/s. As a result, ASUS has released the P6X58D-E, featuring USB 3.0 and SATA 6G, hence the "-E" suffix on the model name. The P6X58D-E appears to be an evolution of the vaunted ASUS P6T Deluxe, and probably more specifically the P6X58D, bringing a strong feature set at a price tag that won't drain your wallet. Let's take at a closer look at some of these new features and see if the P6X58D-E can successfully continue to evolve and improve the Intel LGA1366 platform.

Samsung SyncMaster PX2370 Review
TechReviewSource.com posted a review on the Samsung SyncMaster PX2370

The Samsung SyncMaster PX2370 is a 23-inch widescreen LCD monitor that offers excellent image quality with many features and a stylish design. The slimness alone of the screen is enough to catch the eye of a potential buyer. Budget buyers looking for a larger-sized screen will like the PX2370 because it's priced very competitively compared to other 23-inch displays.
