Virtual-Hideout posted Thermaltake MaxOrb CPU Cooler Review

The Thermaltake MaxOrb performed well and is right in-line with other coolers of its type - and this is with warm ambient temperatures. The speed control functioned smoothly and when on high speed, the noise from the fan was barely noticeable. The LED's cast a nice blue glow which highlights the fins without being overpowering.

XtremeComputing has reviewed the Akasa AK975cu & AK965 775 coolers

The cooler has two heat-pipes which feed into the heatsink fins at the top. What is unusual for a cooler with heat-pipes is that the heatsink also makes contact with the base copper plate. I suspect that the connected heat-sink gives it slightly better cooling capabilities than if it was suspended with only the two heat-pipes .

OCIA.net takes a look at the Cirago 10GB External HDD in their latest review

There are a variety of ways to carry data with you. You could buy a notebook computer and schlep it with you everywhere. That can be helpful if you need processing power or internet access on the move. Not everyone, however, has the extra cash for another computer, or the shoulder muscle to tote around a heavy laptop. On the other end of the spectrum are USB keys. Small enough to fit on your key chain, but getting huge in capacity, these little gadgets can be the perfect addition to your mobile office. Flash drives cater to almost every need, from storage capacity of up to 16GB to bullet-proof encasement (I wish I were kidding).

Techgage posted a review of ASUS' latest motherboards, the Blitz Formula and Extreme

There are numerous P35 boards available, so what does a company have to do to have an edge? Well, as far as ASUS is concerned, they should produce feature-packed boards that also come with many extras, including a game and 3D Mark 06. Oh... not to mention a water-cooled northbridge!

Motherboards.org posted HANNS-G HW223D 22" LCD Review

After a while of sticking my nose in this thing I found I was very satisfied to include this monitor in my test labs as the staple monitor for motherboard and single card VGA testing. The monitor's controls are easy to reach and use, being located directly in the front right side of the monitor screen for ergonomic access. Games, movies and general web browsing all looked excellent on the HANNS-G HW-223DPB. One thing that certainly cannot be beat is the low price tag associated with this monitor as almost anyone who can afford a PC can afford this monitor.
