This is the first time I have had the opportunity to look at an enclosure from Eagle Tech Computers, and they have sent over two different 3.5" hard drive enclosures to review. One is a IDE/SATA to USB hybrid enclosure from their T-Series, and the other is a SATA to eSATA/USB enclosure from their M-Series.

APH Networks checked out the Antec Spot Cool Cooling Fan

Computers are insanely powerful and incredibly affordable nowadays. However, it's not without its consequences -- ten years ago, components run cool enough that a simple heatsink plus a few low RPM fans, if necessary, will suffice. Nowadays, many components will need additional cooling if you want some overclocking headroom or just to bring it to an acceptable operating temperature. Many of our readers began putting additional fans into their computers to achieve this very purpose. Unfortunately, there's always that weird area that needs extra airflow over top, but it's almost impossible to mount a fan close enough effectively. Solution? Not until you take a look at Antec's Spot Cool.

TechwareLabs has published an article titled ATI and Nvidia Says "No Support for Vista".

Microsoft Windows Vista has been out now for more than 6 months. At first ATI was praised for supporting Vista and Nvidia was criticized for not supporting their products. Quietly however ATI and Nvidia has not been providing drivers for mobility/Go customers. I can hear you saying "You're Kidding Right" nope but I wish I was. Complete lack of support for Mobility and Go owners for an operating system is unacceptable. We are not talking about Windows 98, ME, or 2000 here. This is Vista, the latest offering from Microsoft.

XtremeComputing posted a review on the Silverstone TJ09 Full Tower Case

Taking a closer look at the front of the case it is a simplistic design, no bling, just the requisite power and reset buttons and the power and drive led?s and the Silverstone logo. Less is DEFINITELY more in this case (no pun intended).

PC Apex have a new review up of an all-in-one PC maintenance tool, SpeedUpMyPC 3

With high hopes for some impressive performance gains I ran the program and was greeted with a slick and concise overview screen, telling me to perform a system scan to identify areas for optimization. Turns out quite a lot of junk had built up during this machines boring day to day email checking/web surfing role. The scan also identified that my Internet settings needed optimizing and my privacy needed protecting (cookies, history, etc.)!

Bit-Tech published a review of Samsung's 32GB Solid State Drive

So for mobile devices, look for one already using it or if you’re upgrading a recent notebook make sure it’s SATA. As far as we’re concerned with performance desktops, the alternatives still offer better value and a performance then the SSD. It’ll be some time yet before a solid state drive is suitable for desktop systems but considering the rampage of Flash development, it shouldn’t be too much longer for us.
