DragonSteelMods posted a review on Scudbuster PC Game

Back in the prehistoric days of computing, there was a game, where you had to enter X and Y axis coordinates to fire a catapult at your enemy's catapult over a mountain. Each player took turns until one of the catapults were destroyed. Well the good folks at HyperKat Games have updated this classic premise with their missile shooter game =96 Scudbuster.

InsideHW.com posted a review on the PowerColor HD 2600 XT 256MB GDDR3

Most of potential customers are faced with simple question "Which graphics card to buy for 100EUR and get reasonable gaming performance?". While 100EUR doesn't seem to be enough for most of today's graphics cards, we've decided to test PowerColor's HD 2600 XT 256MB GDDR3 and see if it's possible to get decent frame rate in popular games. With overclocked C2D E6300 processor, we managed to get surprisingly good frame rate in most of games we've played with PowerColor's card.

Overclockers Online has posted a review on the CoolerMaster Aquagate S1

All in all, I would say that the Aquagate S1 is perfect for those who
are thinking about water cooling but don't have the time, experience, or the
courage to set up a custom system.

Hardware Secrets posted Core 2 Extreme QX6850 Review

We received from Intel a Core 2 Extreme QX6850 engineering sample, which is now the most high-end desktop CPU available on the market today, featuring four cores, running at 3 GHz internally and 1,333 MHz externally – a new clock rate that will be officially introduced tomorrow morning. Since our engineering sample had its clock multiplier unlocked, we were able to increase its clock multiplier from 9x to 10x, simulating a future quad-core CPU running at 3.33 GHz – a “Core 2 Extreme QX 6950”. We compared this new CPU to several other CPUs from Intel, check it out.

HotHardware.com posted a review on Intel's latest flagship desktop processor today

It took a small voltage bump to 1.45V in the BIOS to hit 3.73GHz. To achieve this, we raised the FSB to 466MHz and dropped the multiplier to X8. Once we hit our highest, stable clock speed, we were surprised how stable things were even with a relatively low cost standard HSF cooler. We used an Artic Cooling Freezer 7 cooler to achieve these results.

XYZ Computing posted a review on the Antec P190 Case

As you may have guessed, there is a lot that sets the P190 apart from most other cases. The biggest selling point is the new Neo-Link dual power supply system, which means that the P190 comes with two power supplies that work together to put out 1200W of power. That is a main reason why the case is so expensive (and why it's so heavy), as a single Antec power supply unit (for example the Antec True Power Quattro) will cost upwards of $215. The Neo-Link consists of two separate power supplies, which, instead of being redundant, work in tandem to power the system. Other features include dual 140mm fans on the top and a monster 200mm fan on the left side panel, as well as a special snake light for working inside the case. One of the most important distinctions that sets this case aside from the P182 and Antec's other performance cases is that the P190 can fit an extended ATX motherboard while the others cannot.

Tweaknews posted Synology Diskstation DS107E Network Attached Storage Enclosure Review

As a reviewer, it's always a pleasure to work with a product that performs as advertised. While a lot of products that we get here at Tweaknews meet expectations, it's a rare instance that we find one that exceeds expectations. The Synology Disk Station DS107e is just such a product. I was very impressed with what the DS107e was capable of. I was astounded at how easily Synology allowed me, a relative neophyte in this arena, to make all the features work.

Techspot posted Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 review

Late last year Intel unveiled the world's first quad-core desktop processor, stealing a bit of thunder from the amazing Core 2 Duo range. For a whopping $999, the new Core 2 Extreme processor would become Intel's new flagship product.

Although the Core 2 Duo remained the best value choice for most desktop users, the technological achievement was nonetheless there as AMD had - and in a way still is - without a proper answer.

The new Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 processor we are testing today is
the first Core 2 product to hit the magical 3.0GHz marker, and it is doing
it not with two but rather four cores (dual 4MB L2 cache). Also new for the Core microarchitecture is a bumped up front side bus which has been taken to 333MHz QDR (Quad Data Rate =96 1333MHz), whereas previous Core 2
processors all used a 1066MHz FSB.

Motherboards.org posted a review on the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 processor

Intel has dominated the playing field of CPU technology for the last two decades, and even though rival company AMD for awhile stole some of their fire with their FX series CPUs, Intel is once again leading the pack, and without competition. Really the two main things of focus on the QX6850 are the new faster FSB speeds and the amount of L2 Cache that the chip has to offer. Like the Intel rep says himself these are just speed bumps in our CPU lineup, but nice ones nonetheless. We will have the full review up later today, but here is a taste of Intel's latest flavor.
