KitGuru posted a review on the ASRock P55 Extreme4 Motherboard (1156)

ASrock have a huge variety of motherboards in their line up right now and they seem to be focusing on the lucrative 1156 market, with eight models currently on offer.

QNAP TS-459 Pro NAS Review
ocaholic posted a review on the QNAP TS-459 Pro NAS

With the TS-459, QNAP presents us a NAS (Network Attached Storage) in a class of its own. By using an Intel Atom Dual Core processor, running at 1.66 GHz, the TS-459 is exceptionally fast and the use of a Linux kernel grants enormous flexibility regarding the configuration options. For example, due to the Linux networking stack a dual Gigabit Ethernet adapter provides load balancing and enables maximum redundancy while maintaining performance.

Intuit QuickBooks 2010 Premier Review
Business Computing World published a review of Intuit QuickBooks 2010 Premier

An affordable solution compared to Sage, QuickBooks is a good package that meets most small business accounting needs. The main buyers are likely to be those with in-house bookkeeping expertise, and companies whose accountants also use the Intuit software. It's not necessarily the best solution for the sole trader, although the free SimpleStart edition is a risk-free way of checking it out.

Antec Notebook Cooler Basic Review
ASE Labs posted a review on the Antec Notebook Cooler Basic

In the past, notebook coolers have featured a few fans wrapped together in a block of plastic. While relatively effective on paper, not all designs were functional or ideal for all laptops.

MSI N460GTX Cyclone 1GD5/OC Video Card Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the MSI N460GTX Cyclone 1GD5/OC Video Card

There is no doubt that the NVIDIA GTX 460 has created quite a splash since its introduction. The reconfigured Fermi architecture of the new GF104 chip gives the card a welcome boost in gaming performance, compared to the first GPUs in the series. With 1/3 fewer transistors to feed, the board uses much less power, runs cooler, and it overclocks well with just air cooling. With that kind of capability baked into the basic design, it didn't take long for NVIDIA's partners to start releasing overclocked editions with advanced cooling hardware. MSI has taken on the challenge, and released one of their custom designs under the Cyclone banner. Benchmark Reviews can't resist a good HSF assembly; that much should be obvious to long term readers. So here we are with a detailed review of the MSI N460GTX Cyclone 1GD5/OC video card.

NZXT Sentry LXE High Performance Touch Screen Fan Controller Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the NZXT Sentry LXE High Performance Touch Screen Fan Controller

The NXZT Sentry LXE High Performance Touch Screen Fan controller gives you the ability to place your control where you need it most. If you need the Sentry LXE on a shelf off to the side as a readout, it works just as well as on the desk within arm's reach. Attaching the brushed aluminum display to a PCI card via a ribbon cable is all that's needed, so routing the wire and keeping it out of the way is quite easy to do.

Desktop PC Platform: Fears and Predictions
Benchmark Reviews has released a new editorial article on the Desktop PC Platform

Benchmark Reviews is a consumer technology website that tests gadgets of all types, but maintains a focus on desktop computer components. To this end, we collectively follow certain market trends more than others. Over the past few years, I've personally watched certain technologies such as mobile devices grow ripe on the vine while others like cellular broadband have withered. Yet, regardless of focus, one particular concept has continually ruled the industry: more for less. To some degree this moniker shaped the birth of desktop PCs, but may also very well become the death of it...
