Thermaltake Armor A90 ATX Gaming Chassis Review
Futurelooks checks out a case from Thermaltake, the Thermaltake Armor A90 ATX Gaming Chassis

One of the things Thermaltake has been good at is conjuring up some enclosure designs that spark a lot of discussion. Whether it be the once inspiring SwordM or the monolithic Level 10, we've all seen something from Thermaltake that we just felt compelled to take a closer look. Today we've got that same curiosity about the new Armor series which is quite different from what they've done in the past. Things have changed a lot and we think it's for the best. Today we'll get to see that new Armor influence in the one they call the A90 Gaming Chassis.

Choiix Boom Boom Review
OCC has published a review on the Choiix Boom Boom

Music played on the Boom Boom, which were 320 kbps MP3s, sounds fairly nice and has much better bass response than my MacBook Pro. When the lid is closed, however, the sound quality suffers. Also, when the volume increased, some distortion was apparent, but not nearly as much as other speakers.

Cyborg Gaming R.A.T 7 Gaming Mouse Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the new Cyborg Gaming R.A.T 7 Gaming Mouse

The peripheral marketplace isn't something that has seen much innovation over the years but Cyborg Gaming is looking to change that with their R.A.T series of gaming mice. They are adjustable beyond our wildest dreams but does this feature alone make the R.A.T 7 stand apart from the pack? One thing is for certain: this is a gaming mouse like no other.

ASUS GeForce GTX 460 SLI Performance
Benchmark Reviews takes a look at the ASUS GeForce GTX 460 SLI Performance

When Benchmark Reviews first tested the video card, we knew that NVIDIA had a winner on their hands. For the mid-range price of $200, gamers can enjoy high-speed frame rates and PhysX enhancements. After some additional investigation, it seemed that the price point offered more than just a successful domination of the rivaling ATI Radeon HD 5830, it also surpassed the more expensive GeForce GTX 465. There are several enthusiast video cards that cost more than the GTX 460, which presents the case for combining two of these video cards into a $400 SLI set. At this price segment the GTX 460 SLI set directly competes against the ATI Radeon HD 5870, but could potentially deliver more performance than ATI's Radeon HD 5970. In this article, Benchmark Reviews compares single and SLI performance for the 768MB GTX 460 against the entire enthusiast graphics card segment.

StarCraft II Performance update: ATI decides to allow gamers to enable anti-aliasing in the control panel
PC Perspective posted a StarCraft II Performance update

On Friday July 30th, ATI released a beta driver of Catalyst 10.7 that introduced a couple hotfixes, the most important of which for our discussion is the addition of antialiasing support in StarCraft II. Our review was originally published on the 19th and I think it is fair to say that AMD/ATI and its driver team was listening to what we had to say and has decided to enable the same kind of full-screen AA that NVIDIA had at the game's launch to allow for more options for their customers.

I do find it interesting, but not surprising, that AMD basically is eating crow when it comes to what they said in this public release about AA in StarCraft II the day the game launched. To quote from AMD's PR: We are committed to making AA perform at an acceptable level before we release it to our customers. We will continue to work with Blizzard on this matter and hope to offer our customers an acceptable AA solution at a later date. Just three days later we see the Catalyst 10.7 beta that is experiencing the same dramatic performance hit that NVIDIA is seeing; obviously AMD decided it was better to appease complaining fans and journalists rather that actually have "AA perform at an acceptable level before we release it to our customers.

Koolance CPU-LN2-V2 Liquid Nitrogen Pot Review
PureOverclock has published a review of Koolance CPU-LN2-V2 Liquid Nitrogen Pot

Generally well known for their water cooling products, Koolance is looking to delve into the rather niche market of extreme cooling. Certainly not mainstream, the sub-zero enthusiasts are a rabid bunch (and we include ourselves here at PureOC in that group) and very particular about things such as cooling pots. Koolance first dove into the market with their LN2 pot, and now have released the successor, the Koolance CPU-LN2-V2, which is more of a design overhaul than a new version.

If you're new to the world of extreme cooling or are looking for some guidance and information, today's discussion will hopefully help answer some of your questions. Rather than our typical product review, we've also included some guidelines and information of "How To's" for jumping into sub-zero overclocking. The Koolance CPU-LN2-V2 is just one piece of the puzzle, so let's take a closer look at it and how it might help bring you into the strange and exciting world of extreme cooling.

ASRock 890GX Extreme3 Motherboard Review
iXBT Labs posted a review on the ASRock 890GX Extreme3 Motherboard

Without a doubt, this is a worthy representative of the AMD 890GX family. It has everything you need for an all-round configuration. And it's actually quite hard to name a specific target audience that could be more interested in ASRock 890GX Extreme3, especially considering its attractive price.

Siig SoundWave Sphere Speaker Review
iGadget Life posted a review on the Siig SoundWave Sphere Speaker

Today for review Siig has sent me over the SoundWave Sphere Speaker, and by the name one could guess it’s a round ball.

Samsung SH-B123L 12X BD-Rom/DVD Writer Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Samsung SH-B123L 12X BD-Rom/DVD Writer

Today for review I’ve got another Samsung product, it’s another optical drive, but it’s one that goes in your computer. Specifically it’s the SH-B123L 12X BD-Rom/DVD Writer, or it’s a Blu-Ray drive with DVD writer functionality as well. This drive at 12X is supposedly one of the fastest in production right now, making it rather special. the drive itself has a unique look to it that I like, it’s not cluttered with logos and badges like other drives, and the drive tray front is actually mirrored with the Blu-Ray logo on it. The drive is physically small in size making it perfect for compact cases like an HTPC would have, it’s quiet and it’s a decent product…

Enthusiast Series - A Look at Immersive Gaming Technology Featuring the EVGA GTX 465
Hi Tech Legion posted a look at Immersive gaming technology featuring the EVGA GTX 465

Yearning to escape the banalities of life is a common trait shared by everyone and computer games have played a large role in the last few years in satiating this need. It is an industry that has generated revenue of over $19.6B in 2009 so it isn't surprising that investments are being made to make sure that video game technology is always moving forward. Microsoft, one of the largest software companies in the world has done exactly that and dedicated plenty of money and resources to it's DirectX API.

OCZ 60GB Agility 2 SATA II Solid State Drive Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the OCZ 60GB Agility 2 SATA II Solid State Drive

One of the leading pioneers bringing SSD technology to the mainstream marketplace has been OCZ, and the item we have for review today is their Agility 2 drive based on the SandForce 1200 controller. The SandForce-based Agility 2 replaces the previous generation Indilinx-controlled Agility that Rutledge reviewed last year. Based on specifications, the Agility 2 is very similar to OCZ's Vertex 2, like the 50Gb model that Shawn had a look at last month. OCZ offers these models in a wide variety of sizes, ranging from 40/50/100/200/400Gb on the standard drives to 60/90/120/180/240/480Gb on their Extended Capacity versions.
