Sapphire Radeon HD 4730 512MB video card review
Elite Bastards posted Sapphire Radeon HD 4730 512MB video card review

Sapphire's Radeon HD 4730 makes use of a 750MHz core clock speed on its reduced RV770 core, coupled with 512MB of GDDR5 clocked at 900MHz.

In keeping with its choice of GPU core, the Radeon HD 4730 features the same PCB length as other RV770-based parts. The usual pair of CrossFire inter-GPU connectors are present on the board, while power is provided by two six-pin PCI Express power connectors. Sapphire have strapped their own dual-slot cooler to the board - A cooling solution that we've seen on a couple of other Sapphire graphics boards in the past.

Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB

Hard Drive suppliers have recognized this and have alternative 'Green Drives' available for those that want to have good performance, tons of storage, and keep utility costs down. To that end we're going to take a look at the Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB 5900 RPM drive that consumes only 3.88 Watts Idle and 6.88 Watts during drive operations. The idle power consumption on this 'Green' drive is barely more than some LED power lights you see on common electrical appliances (Some LEDS operate at 3.3w). Lower power consumption, great performance, entry level pricing, there's a lot to like about he Seagate Barracuda LP 2 Terabyte drive.

OCZ Summit 120GB SSD review
TechSpot posted OCZ Summit 120GB SSD review

The computer industry moves at a hectic pace, especially when you have technologies that are just becoming mainstream, and that's exactly where solid state drives stand today. Not too long ago now we completed our Solid State Drive round-up where we compared four popular SSD drives, including the OCZ Vertex and the almighty Intel X25-M. That was only two months ago, and now OCZ has brought a new contender in the form of the OCZ Summit which currently retails for $350 for 120GB.

New on the OCZ Summit is a new Samsung controller with a larger 128MB cache. As you may have learned from our previous SSD round-up, it's the controller efficiency that can make or break a solid state drive's performance, so it will be interesting to see how this new arrival changes our outlook on today's best solid state drives.

Samsung SyncMaster P2370 Review
IT Pro have a Samsung SyncMaster P2370 review.

Large-format monitors are getting cheaper by the day, and it's incredible just how much desktop real estate you can get for well under 200. Samsung's latest demonstrates that with aplomb, offering a whopping 23 inches of screen for a price of just 172 excluding VAT. But don't let that fool you: Samsung's monitors tend to emphasise quality and style over penny-pinching, so we were very keen to find out whether the SyncMaster P2370 could deliver the results at such a bargain price.

XigmaTek HDT S1283 CPU Cooler Review
Hi Tech Legion posted XigmaTek HDT S1283 CPU Cooler Review

The XigmaTek HDT S1283 is an excellent cooler with many aspects that make it an ideal choice for any system. The compact design allows for installation in virtually any style case without worries in regards to clearance issues. The compact size does not, however, come at the cost of cooling performance. The benchmarks showed that the S1283 excelled in cooling both the AMD system and the Intel system under stock speeds as well as under overclocked system speeds. This excellent performance, coupled with the lower price and compact size, make this cooler a leader in the CPU cooler market for both AMD systems and Intel LGA 775 systems.

EVGA Interview Dual Monitor System Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the EVGA Interview Dual Monitor System

EVGA's Interview Dual Monitor System incorporates a pair of 17" widescreen LCDs with an innovative rotatable stand that allows the user to flip a panel over to share a desktop display with someone sitting across from them on the other side of the desk. These twin TFT displays support a native resolution of 1440X900 and rotate 180 degrees vertically and 90 degrees horizontally. They will also re-orientate themselves depending on which direction they are flipped, in order to provide the correct viewing orientation for the user that is facing the display. The system also comes with a three port USB hub and an integrated web cam for web conferencing on the system. At a retail price of $649.99, you're going to pay a premium over a pair of discrete 17" LCDs but in return you're treated with design elegance, flexibility and configurability of these monitors for collaboration or a clean multi-monitor setup in a small workspace...

ASUS EeeTop PC ET1602 Review
InsideHW.com has reviewed ASUS EeeTop PC ET1602 nettop

First thing that struck us when we took EeeTop PC ET 1602 out of the box were dimensions of display that are really small. Because of this you can have problems with some applications. On the other hand touch functions are easy to use and almost whole display can be at the reach of your fingertips. The whole system is nicely designed with transparent segment below display that is lighted when system is powered on.

HighPoint RocketRAID 2310 PCI-E x4 SATA RAID Controller Review
TweakTown posted a review on the HighPoint RocketRAID 2310 PCI-E x4 SATA RAID Controller

HighPoint has been around for many years and if you have been tinkering around with PCs for more than a few years you are already familiar with the company. HighPoint was one of the very first RAID controllers I ever played around with. At that time the company was winning contracts to put their chipsets onboard motherboards for Abit, ASUS and many others. Who could forget the first time they put four 20GB PATA drives in RAID 0 on an Abit board, ribbons flowing all over the place inside of the case? Those were the days!

Fast forward to 2009 and chipset makers have moved RAID onto the Southbridge and PATA has moved to an afterthought since SATA now dominates the market. HighPoint is still making dedicated RAID controllers for the entry level market and has even moved into the high performance category.

ASUS EN9400GT-1GB Geforce 9400GT Half-Height Videocard Review
PC Stats posted ASUS EN9400GT-1GB Geforce 9400GT Half-Height Videocard Review

ASUS' EN9400GT is a half-height Geforce 9400GT videocard specifically made for those cramped Home Theatre PC situations that are a pain come upgrade time. It packs in VGA, DVI and most importantly an HDMI output right on board, and best of all, for older PCI Express x16 equipped PCs it does the High Definition video acceleration itself! Ever try to do HD decoding on an older PC? Take our word for it, without an HD accelerator it ain't pretty. ASUS' EN9400GT-1GB is HDCP complaint, meaning it can output both audio and video from Blu-ray discs and other protected sources at full quality, to HDCP compliant displays.

Eye-Fi Pro 4GB SDHC Wireless SD Memory Card Review
Tech Fragments posted a review on the Eye-Fi Pro 4GB SDHC Wireless SD Memory Card

When you first take a look at this SD card, it doesn't look any different than any of the other hundreds of SD cards on the market today However, it's what's inside of this SD card that makes it so different. That's because the guts of the Eye-Fi Wireless SDHC memory card includes WiFi connectivity and of course the 4GB of internal memory storage like any other ordinary SD card on the market today. In this review we'll take a look at the performance of the internal storage and also digging into is the cards ability to wirelessly upload photos from your camera to your computer or the Internet without the need for wires and of course the performances associated with that.

TestFreaks posted a review on the Thermaltake V9 Black Edition PC Gaming Case

Today for review I've got the V9 Black Edition PC Gaming Case from Thermaltake. It features two big 23cm fans, one located on the top and one on the side. As the name Black Edition suggests, it's a black case, both inside and out, with red accents in the form of the LEDs in the front fan and parts of the inside of the case.

MSI N275GTX Twin Frozr OC Review
Neoseeker has a review of the MSI N275GTX Twin Frozr OC

If you are going to go for a GTX 275, certainly consider MSI's N275GTX Twin Frozr OC. The greatest competition against this video card comes not from other GTX 275's, but other classes of cards, such as highly-overclocked (and surprisingly inexpensive) GTX 260 video cards, and marginally slower, yet notably cheaper, HD 4890 cards.

Lamptron FC4 Fan Controller Review
DreamWare Computers posted a review on the Lamptron FC4 Fan Controller

Although there are plenty of great temperature/PWN controlled fans on the market, sometimes the best way to achieve the cooling to noise ratio you want is to simply do things manually. When it comes to manually adjusting fans there is a huge plethora of great fan controllers on the market to conquer the task. The easiest way to narrow them down is by figuring out how many fans you need to control, whether you'll be running more than just fans with it, and of course the looks will likely play a huge factor too. We've seen some cool fan controllers and bay-busses here in the past from Lamptron so I was delighted when the opportunity came up to review their latest FC4 fan controller.

G.SKILL Trident 2x1GB DDR3-1600MHz Memory Review
OCC has published a new review on the G.SKILL Trident 2x1GB DDR3-1600MHz Memory

When it came to testing for the G.Skill Trident set, I was quite surprised. While only 2GB in capacity, they did perform quite well. They were only slightly behind the 4GB sets in the majority of the tests and when it came to the memory-only tests, they ran nearly equal. Their downfall comes in the multitasking field. If you look at the Task Manager screenshot, you will notice that while running Vista Ultimate in an idle state with no programs or apps open, other than what is running in the task bar from start up, there is already 735MB of our 2048MB memory used. If you plan on multitasking then the 2GB of the Trident series is probably not for you; I would get the 4GB kit instead. Other than for multitasking, this set performed quite well and faired better than I expected. Even though it was behind the other sets when run at stock, the difference was marginal. I was surprised to see that the sets with higher latencies perform better than when run at the latencies of the Trident series.

NZXT Sentry LX SEN-001LX Digital Fan Controller Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the NZXT Sentry LX SEN-001LX Digital Fan Controller

With multiple core CPUs, multi-GPU video graphics sub-systems and hotter than hot mainboard north and southbridge chipsets it becomes necessary for most gaming computers to have more and more fans. With the fans comes noise. Of course there's water cooling, but not everyone is capable or even brave enough to give that a try. So what do you do? Well one option is to use a fan speed controller. There are many fan controllers available but today Benchmark Reviews will look specifically at the NZXT SEN-001LX Sentry LX aluminum digital dual-bay fan controller.
