First debuted at this year's CeBit show, Shuttle is now retailing its X100HA SFF PC. It's fantastically stylish, almost silent and is equipped with Intel's Napa platform. Sounds interesting?

Top 4 Exciting Features In Mac OS X Leopard
OSWeekly.com published an article on the top 4 exciting features In Mac OS X Leopard

The keynote at this year's WWDC came and went in about an hour and a
half, and now that it's over, we're left feeling kind of empty inside. All of the months of speculation as to what this preview would bring culminated in something that, while being fascinating in some ways, pretty much felt like business as usual.

Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror Review
TrustedReviews looked at the game Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror

All of which makes it tempting to get over-excited about Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror. This is a PSP action game with intelligent controls, impressive fluid visuals and heaps of well thought out gameplay. In fact, it’s tempting to slap a 9 on it and urge you to rush out and buy it immediately.

Kodak EasyShare P712 Review
TrustedReviews looked at the Kodak EasyShare P712

Since Kodak acquired the Chinon camera company in 2004, it’s consumer digital cameras have undergone a transformation, from being little more than cheap plastic toys, to producing some of the best compact digital cameras on the market, such as the outstanding EasyShare V610. However up until recently Kodak had steered clear of the high-end super-zoom market, an area largely dominated by its arch-rival Fujifilm.

Cyberlink PowerDirector 5 Premium Review
Elite Bastards posted a review on Cyberlink PowerDirector 5 Premium

PowerDirector 5 is all about being user friendly. I've dabbled in a handful of video editing packages in the past, and they can often be a confusing swirl of unfathomable buttons and technical jargon. Not so here - Everything is clearly labelled, relatively easy to find, and does exactly what it says on the tin.

DailyCE.com posted a news story on the Elecom Antibacterial Mouse

We have another glamorous product for those of you who are obsessed with neatness, an antibacterial mouse. Since you are obsessed with cleanliness, you probably already know that toilet seats are comparatively cleaner than computer desks, according to a research report. So what better way to put a dent in germy growth than introducing a device that prevents bacterial growth effectively.

TrustedReviews looked at the Relisys RLT26AG20 26in HDTV

Media Center, DVDs and Internet downloads have really helped in this area – to stop you getting caught up in television's warm, glowing, warming glow. By scheduling the programs you want to watch, buying them on DVD or just downloading them (legally of course), you can watch the stuff you want, when you want, without being suckered into wasting your whole evening.

Now that you have an iPod, there maybe times when you want to share your music with others, or leisurely listen to it while doing regular chores around the house. What should you do if you are in that situation? While you could purchase an expensive pair of iPod speakers and solve the problem, there may be a better, and affordable, solution out there. Since majority of us already have stereos, we could finally put them to good use in today’s digital age.

Vizo Luxon 3.5" IDE/SATA Hard Drive Enclosure Review
Bigbruin.com has posted a review on the Vizo Luxon 3.5" IDE/SATA Hard Drive Enclosure

Installation is simple, all that is necessary is to slide the tray out of the external chassis and connect your hard drive of choice. On the bottom of the tray you use four screws to secure your drive. The final part of installation is to slide the tray into the enclosure and secure it with four hex screws (two on each side). After that, simply connect the Vizo Luxon to your computer and you're good to go.

Thermaltake Mozart TX Review
techPowerUp! posted a review on the Thermaltake Mozart TX

The Thermaltake Mozart TX is one of the biggest PC cases ever made. It has so much space that you can put two systems into it. You have five drive bays and seven 3.5" bays, a total of ten fans can be installed into this case which seems like a great candidate to be fit with water cooling. We test the silver, all aluminum version of this $300 monster case.

The SteelPad QcK heavy is SteelSeries' latest mouse pad that improves on the popular QcK+ monster. It is triple the thickness, but does it live up to its name?

MSI Megabook S271 with Turion X2 Review
Bit-Tech posted a review on the MSI Megabook S271 with Turion X2

MSI has designed a reasonably good looking notebook, but there are some shortcomings that would prevent us from giving the S271 a solid recommendation above some of the bigger brands. The one sticking point is the battery life - had MSI managed to achieve a battery life above 4 hours, the S271 would have been more a attractive proposition.

NVIDIA DualTV MCE Review
Sudhian Media posted a review on the NVIDIA DualTV MCE

Digital video recorders are becoming the new must-have item for consumers. Cable and satellite companies are offering DVR systems to its customers TiVo is also still around for cable users that want to own their own DVR box. Than there's the do-it-yourself crowd that prefers to well do-it themselves. Since Microsoft made Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 available as OEM software to anyone with the purchase of a piece of hardware the DIY community has embraced it. System integrators have also begun releasing more Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 systems.

A couple months ago NVIDIA announced its latest TV tuner the NVIDIA DualTV MCE. This time around NVIDIA is selling the card itself in a full retail package instead of having board makers release products based on a reference design. The NVIDIA DualTV MCE is as the name implies, a TV tuner engineered with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 in mind.

7zoneUSA PC DIY Kits Review
MODTHEBOX.COM checked out the 7zoneUSA PC DIY Kits

When it comes to PC cases one thing that I look for during a review is the overall quietness of the case. This usually pertains to the noise generated when the hard disks and optical drives spin up causing vibration or rattling. For those that do not already own a case that aims to quiet these devices initially, there are a few aftermarket products that take aim at reducing transferal noises from the hard drives, optical drives, cooling fans, and the PSU. One such company is the one from I-Star called 7zoneUSA and their line of DYI products.

ASRock AM2V890-VSTA VIA K8T890 Socket AM2 Motherboard Review
PC Stats posted an ASRock AM2V890-VSTA VIA K8T890 Socket AM2 Motherboard review

In this review of the ASrock AM2V890-VSTA motherboard we'll be looking at how the VIA K8T890 handles itself around the socket AM2 Athlon64 FX-62 processor. The ASRock AM2V890-VSTA Socket AM2 motherboard is the first motherboard to cross PCSTATS' test bench based on the VIA K8T890 chipset. This compact ATX motherboard has four 240 pin DDR2 memory slots which accommodate up to 8GB of DDR-2 memory. The AM2V890-VSTA motherboard easily accommodates a PCI Express x16 videocard, although a second can be inserted into the adjacent PCI Express x4 slot for multiple monitor outputs - SLI is not supported.

Silverstone Element 500W PSU Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Silverstone Element 500W PSU

They make the widest range of PSU's I have ever seen; from server redundant supplies to silent passively-cooled units. But today I test their Element ST50EF 500w supply, with the tag line 'Power through efficiency' which hopefully means it'll be as groundbreaking as their other products.

EVGA 7900 GT KO Superclocked Review
PureOverclock posted a review on the EVGA 7900 GT KO Superclocked

Our US cousins have been enjoying EVGA video cards (and motherboards) for quite some time now, but in the UK we've been distinctly void of their presence in the market. Luckily for us Brit's, EVGA have finally decided to have a crack at the UK and certainly aren't in this to play second fiddle to the likes of BFG and XFX. To lure you away from the competition, EVGA offer some heavyweight after sales support, and anyone who's had a poor RMA experience (me) will know how important this can be.

Nikon Coolpix S6 6.0MP Digital Camera Review
Techgage posted a review of the sleek and stylish Nikon Coolpix S6

We've taken a good look at a few Coolpix models in the
past, but none were like this. The S6 is as sleek as they come, and can easily fit into any pocket for transport. Does it's small size detract from it's image quality?

HT Omega Striker 7.1 Sound Card Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the HT Omega Striker 7.1 Sound Card

Today for review we will be looking at the new HT Omega Striker 7.1 sound card. HT Omega first showed its new Striker 7.1 sound card via C-Media's booth at this year's Computex Tradeshow in Taipei. The Striker 7.1 appears to be HT Omega's first product in the sound card market. Until I was offered this review I had never heard of HT Omega so I did some research online and I discovered that HT Omega was a US based company operating out of California and their engineers have been designing soundcards for the past five years. Their website says they have their own dedicated research and development division and they specialize in professional audio components. The Striker 7.1 sound card is their initial offering into the consumer PC audio market and it is based on Dolby Digital and DTS Technologies.

Casio EX-S600 Exilim Card 6 MP Digital Camera Review
BonaFideReviews posted a review of Casio's EX-S600 Digital Camera

Last year Casio released the 5.0mp EX-S500 card camera to rave reviews. The slim profile and ease of use made it one of the most portable and capable point and shoot cameras on the market. Scarcely six months after the release of the EX-S500 Casio announced its replacement, the EX-S600. As the name suggests, the EX-S600 is a refreshed version of its predecessor. Important improvements include an increase in picture size from 5.0mp to 6.0mp, brighter LCD screen, and longer battery life.

Corsair Twin2X 2048-8500C5 Review
Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the Corsair Twin2X 2048-8500C5

Everything about the Corsair Twin2X 2048-8500 C5 screams power and speed. Right from the on-set with sleek black heatspreaders that seem smaller and thinner than most, these modules are truly evil and dark, producing some staggering frequencies... and I couldn't even top the modules out with a 3GHz processor.

Cooler Master Mystique 631 Review
GruntvillE.com posted a review on the Cooler Master Mystique 631 case

Case manufacturers are finally getting away from the "pre-mod" frame-of-mind and designing intuitive, functional enclosures to accommodate the latest computer technology rather than the token side window and cheap chrome plastic bezel. For a modest C-note, you can now get a sturdy, light-weight aluminum case with tool-less fasteners, dual 120mm fans, and provisions for water-cooling. The Mystique is Cooler Master's latest effort in their push away from the "pre-mod" mainstream.

SuperTalent T800UX2GC4 800MHz DDR2 RAM Review
nV News published a review on the SuperTalent T800UX2GC4 800MHz DDR2 RAM

Super Talent's 800MHz DDR2 memory is fantastic. It does what it sets out to do without any flashy, and arguably useless, amenities. Super-tight timings, excellent performance and lots of estimated overhead for overclocking leaves me with a big smile on my face.

Thermaltake Mini Typhoon Value Pack - Clockers Cooler?
XtremeComputing posted a review on the Thermaltake Mini Typhoon Value Pack

The Mini Typhoon is a great cooler and sure to be a hit with overclockers as my CPU was overclocked by 30% and I still got these stunning
results. I think this comes down to the design of the typhoon as it stand quite high which keeps the heat away from the CPU but this is just my theory, whatever the reason the typhoon is sure to be one of the best air coolers on the market to date. Not everything is great about this package though, I am a little disappointed with the satellite fans, this is not because they look bad but because of the noise, they produce. It is quite shocking when you remove the power from them and hear the difference

Acer Ferrari 1000 Review
TrustedReviews have looked at the Acer Ferrari 1000

In the industry, it’s a commonly held opinion that AMD missed an opportunity over the last few years. Despite its Athlon 64 dominating Intel for speed for a number of years it somehow failed to close the gap in the mainstream market. A large part of this is that AMD doesn’t have either Intel’s budget or marketing nouse and now that Intel has grabbed the performance ball back from AMD, the latter could be in real trouble.

Digital Camera Tutorial: Aperture & Depth of Field
TrustedReviews posted a Digital Camera Tutorial

When taking a photograph, there are really only three controls that matter on a camera: focus, shutter speed and aperture. Focus is reasonably obvious; you can quickly spot when a picture is out of focus. Likewise shutter speed is easy to understand since it is measured in fractions of a second. However aperture is a mystery to most people, because it is usually explained using technical jargon and its effects are not immediately obvious.
