Intel X25-V SSD 40Gb – QUAD Raid 0 performance
KitGuru posted a review on the performance of the Intel X25-V SSD 40Gb

This week has been an ‘SSD-fest’ on KitGuru and today we are going to take another look at the excellent Intel X25-V SSD 40GB units which we reviewed last month in both single and dual Raid 0 configurations.

Why revisit them? A handful of our readers have asked me how they ‘scale’ when more than two are placed into a Raid 0 system. Intel kindly sent us four X25-V SSD drives to try in a ‘Quad’ Raid 0 configuration and as we use an inexpensive (but effective) Intel DP55WG for all our SSD tests we thought this would be interesting to try.

SilverStone Sugo SG-04-FH Case Review
BURNED iN posted a review on the SilverStone Sugo SG-04-FH Case

SilverStone is a seasoned player in the computer case market. A heavy-hitter in the high-end range, their budget cases are few and far between. However, lately SilverStone seems to have added several specialty cases to their lineup, one of which we have here: The microATX Sugo SG-04-FH. This SFF case isn't at the top range of pricing, but it is by no means a budget enclosure. So the question here is: can SilverStone make this little SFF enclosure worth the high price of admission? We can tell you one thing about this: It sure looks like a million bucks.

Intel Core i7-970 Processor Review, Intel's Lower Cost 6-Core Debuts
HotHardware.com posted a review on the Intel Core i7-970 Processor

Until now, if you wanted something in a six-core from Intel, the 980X was the only flavor of the day. However, we just got in a sample of a new 32nm Gulftown-based Core i7 six-core that is slotted for a somewhat more palatable price point of $885. Clocked at 3.2GHz, the new Core i7 970 will afford you a bit more financial breathing room, if you're hankering for that step up to what is arguably (or perhaps not arguably) the fastest X86 desktop chip architecture around currently.

We've got the rest of the speeds, feeds and performance details laid out for you here on the following pages. You want Core i7 six-core goodness? Intel is sweetening the pot just a little more for you.

Abbee Commercial-Free FM Radio Review
Hardware Secrets posted Abbee Commercial-Free FM Radio Review

If you want to listen to music on an iPod, you have to fill the device with music. You either rip the music from a CD that you purchased, or you purchase music online and move it to the device. Either way you have to pay for the music player, pay for the music, and make sure that the music is properly loaded on the device. That can add up to a big cost and a lot of effort. The Myine Electronics Company thinks they have a better way. Why not automatically record music from the radio, cut out the commercials, let you choose the songs you want to keep, and automatically transfer them to a digital music player? That's what the Abbee commercial-free music system is all about. It is such a unique idea that we were excited about taking a look at the Abbee.

The Media Wonder lets you stream or view your digital media from anywhere in your home through your wired network. It also makes it easy to connect an external USB hard drive or flash drive to your TV to enjoy digital videos, MP3 playlists, or photo slideshows on your home theater system.

The Diamond MP1000 Media Wonder HD is a solid addition to the group of players using the Realtek 1073 chipset. The features that it provides is very similar to both the Patriot Box Office and ASUS O!Play. It was very easy to setup on my home wired network. The OS was very similar to the Patriot Box Office with the most obvious difference being the Diamond branding. However, the OS seemed a bit more responsive on the Diamond Media Wonder HD...

We test and review the CM Storm Inferno mouse. A mouse obviously targeted at gamers, but Cooler Master diversified and refined it even a little more as it is a mouse targeted at MMO's.

Hardware Canucks posted a review of the Prolimatech Samuel 17 Small Form Factor CPU Cooler

G.Skill Phoenix Pro 120GB SSD Review
PureOverclock has published a review of the G.Skill Phoenix Pro 120GB SSD

The new SandForce drives offer killer performance, even leaving the Indilinx drives in the dust. Normally such performance boosts come with a very hefty premium, but that's not happening for the most part, but especially with the G.Skill Phoenix Pro 120GB. We have a drive here that is crazy fast and a pretty darn good deal when you look at the competition; frankly, it's a standout.

Titan Fenrir EVO Review
Neoseeker posted a review on the Titan Fenrir EVO

Titan gives its Fenrir CPU cooler an upgrade with the Fenrir EVO, but is it really that big a leap from its original design? Neoseeker take a look at the Fenrir EVO's performance in our latest heatsink review

Titan has decided to take a 'why fix whats not broken' approach when creating the Fenrir EVO. Instead creating a new cooler from scratch, the EVO uses the same basic principles that made the Fenrir great, while adding a slick new color scheme and upgraded fan.

Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 Flex Video Card Review
Ninjalane has posted their review of the new HD 5770 Flex from Sapphire that extends multi monitor gaming to 4 screens.

The idea of running multiple monitors for gaming has been a fantasy for games since gaming first came out. In the PC gaming world it has taken a long time to realize the full potential of the GPU and the limitation put on them from a single monitor setup. The amount of pixel pushing power in today's GPU has been screaming for a multi-display setup.

GTX470 Vs 5770 CrossFire: Get in the ring special
Kitguru compared the GTX470 against the 5770 CrossFire

Fourteen floors down, in a secured elevator, Zardon’s personal lab is a monstrous affair. Closer to a medieval torture pit than anything you’d see Pepper Potts delivering coffee to Tony Stark in. When you absolutely, positively, definitely need the truth – then Zardon’s inner chamber is where the torture testing will happen. However, sometimes you just want it fast and loose. To smack 2 stones against each other and see which, if either, breaks. KitGuru picks up a GTX470 in one hand and a pair of Radeon HD 5770s in the other, before smacking them together to see what gives. GITR. Get In The Ring!

Mafia II Performance Preview
Another Mafia II performance preview, this time from OCC

This little performance preview is not all about the technologies and the intricacies of the game but a quick test to see what kind of performance you can expect to get with some of today's hardware from both camps. At this point, if you want eye candy and performance, you go with NVIDIA. Add in a separate card for PhysX and you see an increase in frame rate performance up to 1920x1200 on a G92 or lower end GT 200 based variant. You can get an idea of how performance measures up but as a demo, things will likely change and receive small tweaks to get the most from the game.
