Antec DF-85 Review
XSReviews has written a review of the Antec DF-85 case
In the world of high end cases there are ones aimed at aesthetics centric gamers and there are ones built for feature hungry enthusiasts. However occasionally a company comes along that seems to mix the two up, one such firm is Antec. Today we're taking a look at a model from their Dark Fleet series, the DF-85 which has a tonne of fans, an SSD dock and gamer front panel stylings. Will it please both camps, just one or neither? Let's see.Read more
Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Net USB NAS Review
Everything USB posted a review on Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Net
For many people, the idea of a small portable device which can plug into their network and then with a simple cable swap plug directly into their computer sounds like a match made in heaven. This is the niche Seagate hopes to capitalize on with their GoFlex Net as it adds yet another option to the already amazingly customizable Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex portable drive line! Now read on for the full review.Read more
The Verdict:
The FreeAgent GoFlex Net really is as easy to use as it looks. More importantly, it does offer you another excellent option for your Seagate GoFlex drive(s). While it supports Gigabit Ethernet, don't expect awe inspiring performance as the real limitation is going to be the controller the GoFlex Net uses, or even your Internet Service Provider.
The Good:
+ Small yet portable
+ Easy to setup
+ Extremely easy to use
+ Pogoplug software takes the hassle out of setup and use
+ Supports 2 GoFlex drives and has a USB port for additional storage
The Bad:
- Requires Internet connection to activate
- Speed is a little on the low side
- Two week expiry for invites

Zalman ZM-NC3000U Notebook Cooler Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Zalman ZM-NC3000U Notebook Cooler
Zalman is once again in the spotlight here at Benchmark reviews, returning today with the ZM-NC3000U notebook cooler. Regular visitors may remember the ZM-NC2500 Plus notebook cooler from Zalman was reviewed here not to long ago. While the function is the same, the design is very different. The Zalman ZM-NC3000U notebook cooler sports a big 220mm centre mounted fan and has a sand blasted, anodized aluminium vented surface surrounded by a glossy black outer bezel, which makes for a very nice look indeed. We aim to see in this review if this design difference will offer any more performance over its younger brother, so join us now as we examine the design and analyze the capabilities of the Zalman ZM-NC3000U notebook cooler.Read more

Now let’s take a look at the INWIN Griffin and see if the right case for you.Read more
Prolimatech Super Mega Review
OCC has published a review on the Prolimatech Super Mega
The Prolimatech Super Mega certainly exceeded my expectations after taking a close look at it and handling it for a while, but I did find the lack of real copper fins a little disheartening, as Prolimatech markets it in a way that would make it seem that they should be solid copper. I suspected this by looking at the color of them, which was a bit of an orange tint and seemed a little unusual for the way copper typically looks. Taking away the copper sections, the Super Mega is nearly identical to its older sister, the Megahalems, but weighs close to 200 grams more.Read more

TestFreaks posted a review on the Virgin Mobile MiFi 2200
How would you like the internet in your pocket, to be able to take it with you everywhere you go? Well now you can with a MiFi! The MiFi I have today from Virgin Mobile offers you the same features that others offer, but this once doesn’t require a contract, it’s a pay as you go type of device. It offers you the freedom to pay when you need it only and you’re not stuck on a contract for something that you might not use all of the time. So read on to learn more..Read more

Hardware Secrets posted a review on the Aerocool E85M-550 Power Supply
The Aerocool E85M-550 is a 550 W power supply with a modular cabling system, and the manufacturer promises 85% efficiency. For some reason this unit is sold only outside the United States.Read more
Top Mainstream and High-end Graphics Cards
TechSpot takes a look at top mainstream and high-end graphics cards
We take pride in bringing you the latest coverage in graphics cards when new products are announced as well providing an extra outlook with game-specific GPU performance reviews. However, with an ever-changing scenario, it can be hard to keep up with the pace of things.Read more
For that reason, we published a digested version of our recommended budget and mid-range graphics cards last February. In addition to listing our top picks (which all happened to be ATI-based boards at the time), we created a second column of the closest Nvidia offering, providing a quick and simple reference for anyone looking to upgrade their video card.
While there are many fantastic solutions for gamers on a budget, anyone who's serious about fortifying their machine for the pending release of Crysis 2 is probably looking for something a bit more robust. For that reason, we've decided to expand on the previous article, focusing on today's enthusiast-oriented GPUs, scaling from $200 upward.
