Coolermaster Sileo 500 Case Review
Rbmods posted a review on the Coolermaster Sileo 500 Case

Coolermaster is well known for their high-end cases, but what about their mid range cases that everyone can afford? We are looking at the Sileo 500 today that seems to have some silent features and a stylish look. It also has a PSU included with the bundle that we are going to look in a separate review so the features are quite cool, lets take a closer look.

LG KM900 Arena Review
InsideHW.com has reviewed LG KM900 Arena PDA

When Apple iPhone was introduced few years ago it brought revolution to PDA market that other manufactures were not prepared for. Although we don't find iPhone to be the best PDA that ever existed on the face of earth (no it really isn't) numbers don't lie and the fact is that iPhone is one of the best selling PDAs ever. Because of this other manufacturers couldn't afford themselves to sit on their hands and do nothing about it, so making the iPhone "killer" quickly became favorite sport of many IT companies. As result of created market environment we got new LG KM900 Arena PDA in our test lab strait from LG's assembly line.

Thermaltake Massive23 CS Notebook Cooler Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Thermaltake Massive23 CS Notebook Cooler

As the move towards smaller and lighter netbooks begins to gain in popularity, the dominance of older high heat-producing full size notebooks may eventually ebb over time. True, there will always be those users who want a larger screen size, or need the full performance of a high-end, multi core processor, and for as long as there are laptop computers making the tops of our thighs uncomfortably warm there will likely be coolers designed to combat it. Today I have a product for review from Thermaltake with the descriptive title of Massive23 CS, which makes use of a single, large 23cm cooling fan. How effective are laptop coolers at actually reducing operating temperatures though? Join me as I put the Massive23 CS through its paces.

AMD Phenom II 965 X4 Black Edition Processor Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the AMD Phenom II 965 X4 Black Edition Processor

Much of the focus lately has been on the Intel Core i7 CPUs, with their cutting edge technology, but AMD is not a company to fall by the way side. The AM3 CPUs have shown their ability to be outstanding chips for the money, offering much in the way of technology that is comparable to that of the Intel offerings, and usually for a significantly less expensive price. The other selling point that AMD has had in their offerings is the unlocked chips of the Black Edition family. These chips, with unlocked multipliers, have allowed for excellent overclocking at a fraction of the cost for an unlocked chip from Intel. With the flagship 955 BE beginning to show its age, AMD has seen the need to answer the call for more and has answered soundly. The AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE enters the AMD lineup as the new unlocked flagship CPU, with 3.4 GHz of base clock speed. The AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE features much of the same technology of the AM3 chips, but with increased abilities in overclocking and base speeds. AMD has done an excellent job of managing to develop a strong hold on the mainstream CPU market, and their introduction of the 965 BE is definitely a move to further solidify this stance in the mainstream CPU market.

ASUS P7P55D Deluxe Preview
OCC has published a preview on the ASUS P7P55D Deluxe

The P7P55D Deluxe is the top board in the series of P7 boards that will be available at launch. The hierarchy, lowest to highest, is the P7P55D, P7P55D EVO and the P7P55D Deluxe, so you have a board that fits for just about everyone, each one feature packed. The Deluxe version features a build philosophy labeled Extreme Design that focuses on three key areas, Reliability, Saftey and last, but not least, Performance. This is not just a catchphrase but a way to offer more value as well as a higher performing, easier to use product. Things such as additional ESD protection, Stack Cool 3/+ with two 2oz copper layers, Xtreme Phase, T-probe and Turbo V/EVO. From the front view you can see something missing right off the bat. The northbridge, as it has been known, is no longer used as some of the functionality has been shifted to the Lynnfield processor. The traditional southbridge has been replaced by what is now known as the PCH. The back of the PCB features additional heatsinks for the 16+3 phase VRM circuit. The heatsinks are not attached with push pins but rather spring loaded screws.

SilverStone Sugo SG04B Small Form Factor Case Review
TweakTown posted a review on the SilverStone Sugo SG04B Small Form Factor Case

Small form factor cases seem to be making a rise in the market lately. It’s sort of reminiscent of "sleepers" in the street racing scene. This is where you take an average car, usually paint it in black primer, and strip it of all non essential parts. The biggest part of a "sleeper" is what’s under the hood. Pulling up to a Chevette at a light, you wouldn’t expect it to have 350 cubic inches of motor, but you sure know it when he rockets away at the green light.

SilverStone has done exactly this, in my opinion, just with a computer chassis. They took a SFF chassis, simplified the outside and removed or hid all non-essential items. Keeping with my "sleeper" analogy, SilverStone leaves enough room for some monster horsepower to be dropped into this chassis as well, making what appears to be a simple gaming rig at a LAN event, to possibly be one of the most powerful rigs on the table.

Until 2009, Solid State Drive (SSD) popularity was only growing in the elite enthusiast circles. Then along comes the Indilinx Barefoot chip, which quickly became the backbone SSD controller for over a dozen different products. Crucial, being The Memory Experts that they are, have returned to the market with their second SSD product.

Equipped with the test-proven Indilinx Barefoot controller and 64MB of DRAM buffer, Crucial is insured that the M225-series will deliver outstanding performance. Benchmark Reviews tests the bandwidth speed and IOPS performance for the Crucial M225 128GB SATA-II SSD CT128M225 against a large contingent of desktop storage products in this article.
