Hexus posted a review on the GeCube Radeon X1650 XT Dual 512MB

Some makers of graphics cards tear up the reference design, stamp on it, burn it, throw it out of the window and start all over again. One such is GeCube and we're taking a close look one of its cards - a Radeon X1650 XT with a real difference.

The newest addition to Thermaltake's Soprano line of cases is the Soprano RS 101, an entry-level mid-tower boasting a glossy piano-black finish to the front bezel.

bit-tech published their impressions of the World in Conflict Multiplayer Beta

Well, part of us is very excited. Very excited. The game looks not just awesome, but //awesome to the max; the type of game which might make us use words like 'rowdy' and 'gnarly' if we were cool surfer dudes. Instead, being tech geeks we have to settle with saying that the volumetric smoke effects are awesome and the camera controls are both excellent and intuitive, allowing full and free-roaming control.

Gameplay is excellent too, the perfect blend of small squad action, cooperative teamplay and edge-of-seat large scale battles. Units are excellently priced and balanced so that gameplay never gets too old and, while the unit selection is quite limited, there's still plenty of variation there to keep us entertained.

DragonSteelMods posted a review on the Thermaltake V1 CPU Cooler

Up on the review block today I've got the Thermaltake V1 CPU cooler and I have to say this thing is huge, but it also does an excellent job of keeping my CPU cool as well. The V1 just goes to show that sometimes bigger is better!

Hardware Pacers has posted a review on the Actiontech MegaPlug 200 Mbps Ethernet Adapter

Earlier this year, Hardware Pacers had the privilege to review Actiontec's MegaPlug 85Mbps lineup. Now, with even more innovation, Actiontec has introduced the new 200Mbps MegaPlug line. The 200 Mbps Ethernet adapter has all the same great features of the MegaPlug but with almost 3 times the speed. When used alone the MegaPlug adapters can extend a network from your router to any room in the house through the existing electrical power lines. When used with the MegaPlug 4-port hub the Ethernet adapter can extend a broadband network to two additional computers through common household power wiring. Simply plugging the 4 port hub into a power outlet enables the Ethernet adapter to plug into any other power outlet up to 300 meters away and operate as an Ethernet access port. This amazing technology enables a user to connect a computer to the home network using only one cable from the Ethernet adapter to the computer NIC, while the data is traveling through the existing power lines using 128-bit AES encryption.

DragonSteelMods posted a review on the Arctic Cooling Turbo Module for Accelero VGA Cooler

A few weeks ago I reviewed the Arctic Cooling Accelero Passive VGA Cooler, and I found it to be an excellent choice to quiet those noisy stock VGA coolers, and I found that even being passive it works better than the stock cooler with a fan. Today I have an add-on for the Accelero in the form of two interesting looking fans called the Turbo Module which claim to boost the already great performance of the Accelero. Does it work? Let's find out....
