Cooler Master Ultimate Circuit Protection 900W Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the Cooler Master Ultimate Circuit Protection 900W

Cooler Master's new Ultimate Circuit Protection power supply is among the first to receive the prestigious 80plus Silver certificate for an efficiency of above 85%. With 900W of output power this PSU can easily handle every rig that you put it into. During our testing we saw very stable voltages, especially 3.3V and 5V delivered great results.

Top Deck Tech Station (Large) Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Top Deck Tech Station

If your a heavy home user, technician or reviewer that goes through a lot of hardware in your quest for that perfect component, or merely testing a CPU Coolers design then you'll be interested in checking out the Top Deck Tech Station (Large) from HighSpeed PC.

The good folks over at HighSpeed PC were nice enough to send a Top Deck Tech Station for our review, hopefully ending the never ending chore of casing, uncasing and recasing we go through on a daily basis to keep our readers supplied with good solid information on a variety of products.

Is the Top Deck Testing Station going to give the over worked staff at Bjorn3D a little relief (or maybe Scott could give us a day off), or will we be forced back to the practice of using our last good mobo box and well worn anti static bag?(While we're at it can we get something besides stale tap water and left over Bar Pretzels Scott?)

A-DATA SDHC Class 6 Eee PC Edition 8GB Review
APH Networks has published a new review on the A-DATA SDHC Class 6 Eee PC Edition 8GB

So here's the deal, guys: You bought an Asus Eee PC, and you got all the 'oohs' and 'ahhs' from your non-geek friends who've never seen such a thing you ever wanted. What now? One of the biggest 'problems' faced by majority of Eee PC users with regards to current generation Asus Eee PCs comes down to storage capacity limitations of the subnotebook's flash SSD -- with configurations starting at 2GB and the higher end (Read: More expensive) models consisting of a 4GB Silicon Motion solid state disk, it's not hard to imagine that you're running low on disk space even after an nLited installation of Windows XP, plus a few programs to boot. I have an Asus Eee PC 4G; and with a somewhat slimmed down version of Windows XP Professional, Microsoft Office 2000 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) with minimal features, Foxit Reader, Firefox, Windows Live Messenger, Wavelab Lite -- just to name a few off my head -- already used up 2.5GB. How about some multimedia files such as music, videos, and pictures? Good luck with that. Well, thankfully, Asus had considered that already with the Eee PC and incorporated a SD/SDHC card slot that's can accommodate a card fully engaged into the unit with no edges left sticking out. It's very convenient, and solves the storage problem fairly well. But what card are you going to use? A-DATA presents to you their solution. The A-DATA SDHC Class 6 Eee PC edition cards are designed for this very purpose. My Eee PC is white in color, and these white colored cards will fit the scheme just perfectly -- along with a performance of excellent read and write performance, how will it step up to its task? Let's jump right into our A-DATA SDHC Class 6 Eee PC Edition 8GB flash memory card review.

Last week we had a look at Xigmatek's Red Scorpion CPU cooler, the first direct heat pipe cooler that we've reviewed. Luckily enough it shocked us all with pretty good temperatures. Fortunately today we have another cooler of this type for review, the Sunbeamtech Core-Contact Freezer. This cooler doesn't just pack performance though; it's also incredibly innovative.

Lian Li Tyr PC-X500 Case Review
Hardware Secrets posted Lian Li Tyr PC-X500 Case Review

Tyr PC-X500 is an all-aluminum mid-tower case that Lian Li will be launching very soon, featuring two 5 ¼" bays, one external 3 ½" bay and four internal 3 ½" bays in two hard disk drive cages, plus four 120-mm fans (with a speed control circuit for two of them). It uses a very unique design, being shorter than traditional tower-style cases. This was accomplished by moving the external bays to the side of the case instead of being located on the front of the case. We had the opportunity of reviewing this case before it reaches the market. Check it out.

HP dvd1040e External LightScribe Burner Review
Bios Magazine posted a review on the HP dvd1040e External LightScribe Burner

HP's dvd1040e is an external 20x Super Multi DVD burner. Thus, it lets you quickly record to single- or double-layer DVDs, and to DVD-RAM. It lets you preserve (and edit) up to 8.5GB of video, photos, and multimedia on one double-layer disc, plus store, backup, transport, and share documents on DVDs and CDs. And this high-speed drive supplies you with the latest version (1.2) of HP's cool LightScribe v1.2 disc labelling technology. The only downside is that it doesn't play Blu-ray movies. Plus, it fell of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

PowerColor HD 4850 512MB Video Card Review
TheTechLounge posted a review on the PowerColor HD 4850 512MB Video Card

Interestingly, there seem to be few, if any drastic, architecture changes for HD 4000. It's all scale down, add more. PowerColor, a long-time board partner, shows just how well this strategy pays out for the HD 4850.Even side-by-side, this card looks just like a 3850. That's really superb, because not only was its predecessor small, clean, and fast, it was also quiet. The sticker's adornment is a busty, armored model in Viking chic. But it's a stock card, with the same design that you'd get with any 4850 currently available.

ATEN CS1782 Dual DVI KVM(P) Switch Review
Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the ATEN CS1782 Dual DVI KVM(P) Switch

Most KVM's are still the older PS/2 and VGA style, a year ago there were less than a handful of DVI/USB KVM switches. Now most companies offer at least one, and some are adding more features. It has been a while since I last reviewed a KVM switch from Aten. At the time I reviewed the CS1762, I said it was a good KVM, but it was missing some features I required. I figured it would be the next generation that did what I needed. Well that generation has come, it has taken a little more time than I thought, but on first blush, the CS1782 has everything I want in a KVM.

NZXT Rogue Case Review
HardwareLogic posted a review on the NZXT Rogue Case

Today, HardwareLogic takes a look at NZXT's newest small form factor (SFF) offering, the NZXT Rogue. In a bid to capture the SFF chassis market, the Rogue ups the ante with a highly competitive SFF enclosure where NZXT has left nothing to chance when designing and manufacturing their newest SFF case. Does the NZXT Rogue have what it takes to be named the top dog in the SFF enclosure kingdom? Will it succeed in an arena dominated by big name players that offer their own wildly successful small form factor enclosures? Let's get to it and find out!

Visiontek Radeon HD 4850 Videocard Review
Rbmods posted Visiontek Radeon HD 4850 Videocard Review

Today we are taking a look at a ATI HD 4850 videocard from Visiontek. This card is a middle class card but I have seen stats that show this card should perform as well as many other high end cards on the market. We are going to put it against the Asus 9800GX2 Top and the Asus 3870 X2 videocard to see what type of performance we can expect from this 4850 from Visiontek.
