Kingwin EL-35EU-SBL Elite USB 2.0 and eSATA Drive Enclosure Review
Bigbruin.com takes a look at the Kingwin EL-35EU-SBL Elite USB 2.0 and eSATA Drive Enclosure

Kingwin's EL-35EU-SBL Elite USB 2.0 and eSATA drive enclosure is a sharp looking product that could simply use some better software. If you want an eSATA drive enclosure and only need basic back up capabilities, already have back up software, or don't intend to use the back up capabilities, I could recommend this enclosure. If are looking for a back up system that offers configuration flexibility, this may not be a good choice for you.

EVO-G Mouse Bungee MB1 Review
DragonSteelMods posted a review on the EVO-G Mouse Bungee MB1

Today for review I've got the Evo-G MB1 Mouse Bungee, and it's one of those products that at one point I thought was rather useless, that is until I actually got it and tried it out. I've got a SteelSeries Ikari Optical Gaming Mouse that I use as my main mouse, it's a great mouse but the cord is rather stiff, at times it gets caught on my mouse pad, and sometimes, due to its' stiffness it lifts up and catches on my speaker, it gets annoying but I've lived with it for a while now just dealing with it. So Evo-G sent me their Mouse Bungee for review, and I never really thought much of this type of product, but now I can't live without it, it keep mys cord up and out of the way, it never gets caught on anything now and I no longer have the annoyance of my mouse cord getting stuck somewhere...

Super Talent MasterDrive MX 60GB Solid State Drive Review
PC Perspective posted a review on the Super Talent MasterDrive MX 60GB Solid State Drive

The Super Talent MX 60GB solid state drive is the first SSD we have tested that I can nearly call a "value". Compared to other SSDs on the market the MX line of drives offers more storage for significantly less money - twice the capacity and just more than half the price. There is a caveat however in the write performance of Super Talent's MX series being somewhat lower - especially in write speed tests - than that of OCZ's latest SATA-II SSD offering and the WD VelociRaptor 300GB 10k RPM standard hard drive.

ATI Catalyst 8.7 Analysis - XP & Vista
TweakTown posted an analysis on the ATI Catalyst 8.7 drivers

As we roll towards the end of the month, I have to admit we were a little worried when we hadn’t seen the latest Catalyst release. No doubt AMD have been extremely busy working on the latest HD 4870 incarnation; the X2.

There are some decent looking performance improvements mentioned in the release notes this time around, so let’s see how they go in our tests today.

BFG LS550 550W Power Supply Review
JonnyGURU.com posted a review on the BFG LS550 550W Power Supply

Not long ago, I looked into a new line of units from BFG Tech, the LS series. Today, I'll have a look at the 550W model and see how it performs compared to the 680W. Efficiency is given as greater than 80% typical, and though they don't mention it, this model is 80 Plus certified. You will recall that big brother didn't quite manage to pull that off, and I'll be interested to see what happens on the load tester with this unit. Come in and join me, won't you?

Sherlock Holmes Vs. Arsene Lupin Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Sherlock Holmes Vs. Arsene Lupin PC game

Sherlock Holmes: A popular fictional detective, born and based in London, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the late 19th Century. Many readers have been interested in his stories and adventures with his sidekick Dr Watson. Who'd have thought that they would make a video game about him? Turns out there is actually a series of games based on his adventures, 4 in fact! Such titles as "Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened" and "The Case of the Silver Earring". Today I have with me, Sherlock Holmes Vs Arsene Lupin (anyone else think he looks like Poirot?) so let's see what it's like.

Coolermaster GeminII S Heatsink Review
FrosyTech posted a review on the Coolermaster GeminII S Heatsink

In this review Frostytech is evaluating the Coolermaster GeminII S - a low height, lower noise, down-exhaust heatsink for Intel socket 775 and AMD socket 754/939/940/AM2+ processors. Coolermaster's GeminII S heatsink stands just 88mm tall and ships with a 120mm fan mounted to its frame. An extra set of brackets allow that fan to be replaced with two 92mm or 80mm fans; say if you want airflow blowing directly down onto adjacent memory slots. The GeminII S heatsink weighs 560grams, features five 6mm dia. copper heatpipes and cooling fins that descend to the CPU base.

Madshrimps posted a review on the Scythe Zipang 140mm CPU Cooler

The Scythe Zipang is top-down heatsink with a huge ~140mm fan on top. A series of 6 copper heat pipes make this heatsink capable of cooling down an Intel Quad Core CPU as the lowest noise levels. We put it to the test and compare its performance to 45 other popular CPU coolers.

Palit HD 4870 512MB Video Card Reviewed
TheTechLounge posted a review on the Palit HD 4870 512MB Video Card

The real win is having a $300 card: NVIDIA made a lot of money with the 9800 GTX before the 4850 forced them to sell it for $200. Now that bracket belongs to ATI, who, for the first time in years, is dictating hardware costs, not following prices set by NVIDIA. We'll have to wait for board partners to add innovation. So yes, the card isn't perfect, but like they say, it's lonely at the top.

Sapphire HD 4870 Review
OCC has published a new review on the Sapphire HD 4870

This card was the best overclockable card I have tested out of the three HD 4870 cards I have reviewed. The limits allowable in the Catalyst Control Center are 790MHz on the core and 1100MHz on the memory. I was almost able to max them out with the Sapphire HD 4870 reaching 785MHz on the GPU and 1095MHz on the memory, for an effective speed of 4380MHz. That is a very fast memory speed. Anything higher and the screen would artifact or I would get a BSOD, so the overclocked tests will be run at 785/1095MHz.

Asus Trinity Tri-GPU Graphics Prototype Benched
HotHardware tested a prototype of Asus Trinity Tri-GPU Graphics

Asus recently contacted us with an interesting 3D graphics product that was intended to be nothing more than a proof of concept. The product was affectionately named Trinity and though it didn't necessarily conjure up visions of leather-clad vigilante-dominatrix-hotties for us, it certainly did have an intriguing design and board build. The Asus Trinity prototype is built on a trio of AMD ATI Radeon HD 3850 GPUs in CrossFireX mode for tri-GPU performance in a single slot.

GeForce 9800 GTX+ SLI tested
The Guru of 3D tested the GeForce 9800 GTX+ in SLI

You know, we predicted that the GeForce 9800 GTX+ model is going to be a pretty popular product. Honestly, it's really good value and performance for just over 200 USD. A price that is attractive but most of all acceptable to a lot of you. The minute that review was posted I started receiving email, emails asking us to test this product in SLI and then compare it with AMDs Radeon 4850 HD in Crossfire. And sure, that's a very interesting perspective to look at, so I'll happily dedicate some time for such an article, which you just landed at.

Rosewill has long had a reputation of providing a quality product for an affordable price. With that theme in mind, these guys have come up with a line of power supplies aimed at the enthusiast market. They still look at providing an affordable power solution, but this time around they have added features to keep those with extreme power needs happy.
