ASUS P6X58D-E Intel X58 Express Motherboard Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the ASUS P6X58D-E Intel X58 Express Motherboard

Though well equipped, including Asus’ TurboV, Asus Express gate, and Asus EPU6, among many other features, that first Asus X58 motherboard I had, the P6T, has become a little dated, especially compared to Asus’ newer motherboards. The P6T had 8+2 phase voltage regulating, Asus has since improved on that with other boards. And both USB3 and SATA 6Gb/s has been released since the P6T was released. So to bring the venerable X58 up to date, Asus has released a couple of new X58 boards. Today I will be looking at the Asus P6X58D-E motherboard, a new Asus board sporting 16+2 phase power, true USB3 and SATA 6Gb/s, and support for the Intel Bloomfield processor and Microsoft Windows 7. Read on to check out the Asus P6X58D-E motherboard!

AMD Socket AM3 Budget Motherboard Shootout
TechSpot posted AMD Socket AM3 Budget Motherboard Shootout

The AMD AM3 platform appears to be the way to go for budget-minded users, and best of all there's a huge range of affordable motherboards to choose from. Because of the way AMD has been forced into playing their cards, it is easy to find and purchase an AM3 motherboard capable of supporting even the latest Phenom II X6 processor for less than $100. Many of these motherboards also boast newly released technologies such as SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3.0, making them even more attractive.

Today we are putting together a few of these affordable AM3 motherboards to see just how much bang for your buck they offer. The contenders include the Asrock 880GMH/USB3 ($85), Gigabyte 870A-UD3 ($95) and MSI 870A-G54 ($90).

Also as part of our evaluation, we will attempt to unlock the Phenom II X2 555 processor ($100) on each board, essentially obtaining the performance of a $160 part without shelling out the extra cash for it.[/quote6

GeForce GTX 460 - nVidia's $200 Gift to Mainstream Gamers
Futurelooks checked out the new GeForce GTX 460 video card

I remember a GPU called the 6600GT that offered so much bang for the buck that no one was able to follow at such an aggressive price point. I remember it well because it was the first GPU that I ever bought that made me feel like somebody out there actually wanted me to play my games without having to spend a small fortune. It allowed me to play my favourite games at reasonable frame rates and at decent resolutions, but most importantly left me enough cash to buy more games. For most of today's mainstream gamers, that sort gift hasn't come from nVidia in quite some time, but this week everything changed as the GeForce GTX 460 was announced to the world.

Samsung ML-2525W Laser Printer Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Samsung ML-2525W Laser Printer

Today for review I’ve got the Samsung ML-2525W laser printer that is actually rather inexpensive coming in at under $100 most places online. The ML-2525W is a basic printer for sure, it’s meant for business use, but you can use it in your home of course, especially with such a low price. The ML-2525W does feature three types of connections, USB, Ethernet and wireless so you’ve got choices. It’s quick and easy to setup, within minutes I was up and running and producing high quality prints with a very high print speed.

SilverStone Precision Series PS05 Mid-Tower PC Case Review
Legit Reviews posted SilverStone Precision Series PS05 Mid-Tower PC Case Review

Today, SilverStone sent Legit Reviews their newest mid tower from their Precision Series, the PS05. With a price tag that won't violate your bank account, black interior and offering tool-less installation among a few other features, the PS05 could very well find a spot on your desk. Let's take a peek and find out what this case offers.

Overall, I like the SilverStonePS05-B Black Steel ATX mid tower PC case. With the current price of $39.99 after rebate, I think it's a steal. It offers great features, a great look, and sturdy construction, which is a feature usually found in more expensive cases. The black paint job was well done and was very appealing. It didn't have many issues that were even close to a deal breaker. Oh, and it has no issue fitting in a GTX 480 (with a little maneuvering, mind you).
