Foxconn H55MX-S Motherboard Review
iXBT Labs posted a review on the Foxconn H55MX-S Motherboard

Foxconn H55MX-S is priced under the psychological threshold of $100. Naturally, it has but basic functionality and isn't meant to be overclocked. At the same time, it has a few advantages you don't normally find in products cheaper than a hundred bucks.

ASUS Crosshair IV Formula 890FX Chipset Motherboard Review
Legit Reviews posted ASUS Crosshair IV Formula 890FX Chipset Motherboard Review

Dressed to the hilt in the red and black Republic of Games theme, the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula is ready for the party! How will it perform as a full Leo platform? Read on to see how the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula motherboard performs in our battery of tests on the AMD Phenom II X6 1055T six-core processor that include a few new benchmarks!

Without a doubt in my mind the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula motherboard is a force to be reckoned with. The ASUS Crosshair IV Formula is one of the best looking motherboards I have tested, but looks always take a back seat for me when it comes to computer components. Performance is king, and the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula easily takes the crown today! For the most part performance across the board was above and beyond that of either of the AMD 890GX chipset boards that were compared today...

ASE Labs posted a review on the AirLink101 SkyIPCam777W

Most people don't think about securing their homes or small businesses with the added piece of mind of a camera system. It could be due to the cost and time consuming setup of a full DVR solution.

SilverStone HDDBoost Review
BURNED iN posted a review on the SilverStone HDDBoost

System builders are at a crossroads of sorts when it comes time to choose a storage solution. Do you go for balls-to-the-wall performance and slap your wallet silly by investing in a high performance solid state drive (SSD), or are you better off picking up a high capacity, yet slower performing hard drive for a fraction of the cost? There isn't a clear cut answer, but thanks to SilverStone, there might be an alternative. What if you could have both performance and capacity, and not have to spend a fortune to get them?

That's exactly what SilverStone is hoping to make possible with its HDDBoost, a seemingly ingenious device that allows you to combine the capacity of a hard drive with the performance of an SSD by fusing the two together. The end result is a home brewed hybrid drive, one that relies on RAID 1 to take advantage of the strengths of both. Admittedly this all sounds good on paper, but what happens when the rubber meets the road? Good question, and we aim to find out.

Powerline AV Kits: Using Electricity Installations for Networking
InsideHW.com has compared two powerline AV network starter kits: D-link DHP-307AV & Devolo dLAN 200 AVplus

The short definition of a computer network could be put this way - the magical term that will be understood by most people as a bunch of unknown terms related to settings and a mystical image of an incomprehensible forest of cables. This wasn’t that far from the truth until recently, but the definition has changed along with new solutions appearing on the market, especially by the rise in wireless popularity. Another solution which shatters this prejudice, to a greater or lesser extent of success, is networking using the already existing electrical installations. This time around, we’ve taken up DHP-307AV, D-Link’s Powerline AV Network Starter Kit, as well as Devolo’s dLan 200 AVplus Starter Kit, for testing purposes…
