Utilizing the Mini-USB format to provide power, the entire speaker surface is devoted to pure sound, and it delivers it in ways that must be heard to be believed.

AMD ATI RADEON HD 5670 1GB GDDR5 Video Card Review
Madshrimps posted AMD ATI RADEON HD 5670 1GB GDDR5 Video Card Review

The RADEON HD 5670 from AMD represents a very nice addition to the 5xxx series, features DirectX11 support and does not need an extra power connector to function. The card was aimed from the beginning against the GT 240 from Nvidia, let us find out if it stands a chance

HP De-branded 25-inch HD Widescreen LCD Monitor Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the HP De-branded 25-inch HD Widescreen LCD Monitor

There are oh so many monitors to choose from these days. Looking for the right monitors that suits your individual needs can be tricky, what with so many different features, styles, and finishes. Today we will be looking at a De-branded HP 25” HD-LCD Monitor. This monitor has some pretty impressive features; one example is a 1920×1080 resolution allowing you to have full 1080p, unlike those fake HD monitors. It’s also packed with a 3ms response time and a contrast ratio of 60,000:1. I for one am very excited to test this Monitor.

OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 120GB SSD Review
PureOverclock posted a review of OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 120GB SSD

Recently the SandForce-based SSDs have been making waves with their killer performance numbers, and today we're looking at a horse of a different colour, so to speak. The OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 120GB SSD certainly does come in a unique colour, but under the hood it packs the same horsepower in the forms of the SandForce SF-1200 controller, a little juggernaut that has made quite a positive impression on us.

Cooler Master Storm Inferno 4000 DPI Gaming Mouse Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the Cooler Master Storm Inferno 4000 DPI Gaming Mouse

Control is a finicky mistress, many of us take it for granted and yet others mistake the limited grasp we actually have over things as the best we can do. When it comes down to our computers, the best hardware that can rip through the most complex programs we have can only ever do this after instructions from the user. When it comes down to it our computers have evolved many times over while our input devices have stayed fairly static.

ASUS Rampage III Extreme Review
OCC has published a review on the ASUS Rampage III Extreme

Overclocking the Rampage III Extreme was an exciting affair. With the stellar BIOS that ASUS bundled with the board, the process was familiar to every other X58 board on the market, but easier after all of little tweaks and improvements are factored in. I had no difficulty getting my i7-930 chip to 205x20 for a 4.1GHz OC, but had some trouble getting it to a 210 bclock. I then upped the multiplier and lowered the bclock slightly to keep moving up. After a bit of easy voltage tweaking and memory adjustments, I was running 4.2GHz stable on air.

CM Storm Inferno Laser Gaming Mouse Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the CM Storm Inferno Laser Gaming Mouse

The last few years have brought a few small evolutions to input peripherals. Most of these have been driven by demands for better ergonomics, greater functionality and improved performance. Cooler Master's CM Storm division is one of a select few who have risen to meet the demand. The newest addition to their line is a laser gaming mouse called the Inferno. Model SGM-4000-KLLN1-GP debuted at CeBit 2010 and is geared for gaming. Many consider the Inferno to be a reduced cost predecessor of the Sentinel, but with the suite of software features and additional buttons it may prove to be a superior replacement. Read on as Benchmark Reviews evaluates the Inferno against the competition.

CoolIT ECO A.L.C CPU Cooler Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the CoolIT ECO A.L.C CPU Cooler

For many people, water cooling their CPU is very much a bridge too far. However, CoolIT’s ECO is looking to fly in the face of preconceptions by bringing high performance water cooling to the masses by featuring easy installation coupled with a sub-$100 price. Hopefully, it will live up to our expectations.

Choiix Boomboom Slim Travel Speaker Review
BURNED iN posted a review on the Choiix Boomboom Slim Travel Speaker

If there's one thing that chaps our hide, it's lousy drivers. But coming in at a close second are the craptastic speakers that manage to infiltrate almost every notebook on the planet, including the so-called desktop replacements. Would it kill OEMs to shove a decent pair of cans into their laptops?

Apparently that's not a chance many are willing to take, so it's up to third-party peripheral makers to fill the void. Enter Choiix, a company you probably never heard of, but hold your horses before you go gallopping off. Choiix isn't some generic brand you'll find in the clearance section of Walmart, it's actually a subsidiary of Cooler Master, which we're willing to bet you have heard of (and if not, then welcome to the world of computers, junior!). Cooler Master's Choiix division focuses on lifestyle products, including the BoomBoom Slim Travel Speaker we're looking at today.

As Choiix describes it, the BoomBoom is a "cleverly designed" external speaker accessory offering "rich sound" in a slim package. Given our experience with laptop speakers, that sounds good to us. But can they deliver? Let's just see, or hear, as the case may be.

Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 3TB External Hard Drive Review
Bigbruin.com has published a review on the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 3TB External Hard Drive

One of Seagate's most recent innovations is the GoFlex system, which allows users to customize a hard drive with the connection that best suits their needs. While the connection options are interesting, the storage capacity is also very impressive. Pushing the storage limits ever higher, Seagate has released a new 3TB external hard drive... the FreeAgent GoFlex Desk.

OCZ Agility 2 SSD Review
Neoseeker posted a review on the OCZ Agility 2 SSD

Looking for a 60GB SSD drive that costs less than $200USD? Neoseeker had the chance to put the OCZ Agility 2 SandForce-based SSD through its paces, and we've got the full review for you and your readers. Can its performance match its fairly reasonable pricing?

This drive utilizes the SF-1200 controller, includes the consumer level firmware and is part of their value oriented lineup. This all allows the Agility 2 to offer users a high level of performance, but with a $169.00 price tag fit more for the mainstream SSD market. For additional value this model gives the user increased storage via the firmware, allowing the capacity to increase from 50GB to 60GB. Still, the Agility 2 does come with a much higher premium than a larger capacity HDD, so you are paying for a performance increase while sacrificing large amounts of storage.

NZXT Vulcan Micro-ATX PC Case Review
PC Perspective posted a review on the NZXT Vulcan Micro-ATX PC Case

Creating a portable gaming rig for LAN parties and other events can sometimes be a difficult task. Most hardcore gamers build their own systems and usually base them off the ATX motherboard form factor. Unfortunately, lugging a heavy ATX system to LAN parties is not very convenient or functional. NZXT has heard the gaming community's call for an innovative micro ATX gaming case, and the new Vulcan case falls gives them many of the features they put on their hardware wish lists.

Asus EAH5670 HD 5670 1GB Graphics Card Review
Tweaknews posted Asus EAH5670 HD 5670 1GB Graphics Card Review

As an affordable mainstream videocard, the Asus EAH5670 didn't perform all that bad for its relatively small pricetag. With a full load of 1Gb of DDR5 memory and some excellent core overclocking, Asus' version of the Radeon HD 5670 came in with relatively low expectations and in the end turned out to be a very decent graphics card.

OCZ StealthXstream 2 600W PSU Review
The Guru of 3D posted OCZ StealthXstream 2 600W PSU review

We test and review the OCZ StealthXstream 2 600 Watt power supply. A 600 Watt power supply which can get 85% efficient at typical loads. Will we be impressed by this 80+ certified power supply?

So what's the big deal with the OCZ StealthXstream 2 series you might wonder ? Well, it's all about price really. I mean if its good, then at 70 EUR-USD it should be a bargain.
