ThermalTake Element G Review
OCC has published a review on the ThermalTake Element G

What more can really be said about the Element G? This case has a lot going for it. It features space for a lot of hard drives and moves about as much air as anything else on the market. What gives it an edge over the competition is the amount of space dedicated to hard drives. I have yet to see another mid tower that can hold this many. There are also many optional accessories that you can put in the Element G, such as two optional 120mm fans in front and two 60mm fans in the real for VGA cooling. It also has great looking LED fans and the option to change between five color modes, which I found to be quite nifty.

QNAP 639 Pro NAS System review
Driverheaven posted a review on the QNAP 639 Pro NAS System

It is quite incredible how many models QNAP release and how often they are updated but this is due to the relatively cheap prices of large mechanical hard drives and end user demand for ever growing storage space. QNAP were established in Taiwan in 2004 and are well known for their build quality and sophisicated software packages. The QNAP TS-639 Pro is based on the same platform as the TS 509 Pro which we reviewed a while ago and as such now supports iSCSI integration as standard.

Super Talent Pico Mini 16GB USB Drive Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Super Talent Pico Mini 16GB USB Drive.

It's funny watching movies from just a few years ago. Spy's sneaking about with 3.5 inch floppies stealing data in clandestine operations. The technology often dates the movies and we're continually amazed by the miniaturization of components. When we got a shot at the Super Talent Pico Mini 16GB USB drive we were thrilled. So small it makes a quarter look large, small enough to really be clandestine, but storing over 11,111 times the capacity of an old 1.44MB 3.5 inch floppy. That's a lot of storage punch in a very small package.

Thermaltake Massive 23 ST Laptop Cooler Review
Hi Tech Legion posted Thermaltake Massive 23 ST Laptop Cooler Review

Ever since my laptop froze up the second I was actually about to beat Crysis Warhead, I retired the notion of actually being able to take my games with me because of all of the overheating problems I had run into. Well, the time came that I started getting a couple of promising laptop coolers to help cool that laptop down during gaming and most helped but didnt ultimately solve the problem, mostly due to limited airflow from the smaller fans. This was the case until I recieved a promising cooler from Thermaltake that might actually let me game on the go.

Windows Live Movie Maker Review
Supersite for Windows posted a review on Windows Live Movie Maker

When Microsoft launched the "wave 3" version of its Windows Live Essentials suite back in January (see my review), one big piece of the puzzle was missing: Windows Live Movie Maker, a major reworking of the underappreciated but excellent Windows Movie Maker application from Windows XP days (see my review of Movie Maker 2), was still woefully incomplete and in beta form.

Well, with the release of the final shipping version of Windows Live Movie Maker 1.0, those days are behind us. And what we see is a product that is much more in keeping with the lofty expectations that were established with its predecessors, but reimagined for the needs of today. It's the right movie editing and sharing solution at the right time, and if you've been collecting short home movies and scads of photos but weren't clear on how you could get them in front of friends and family in a quick and easy but high quality way, look no further.

Seagate BlackArmor NAS 440 Review
HotHardware.com posted a new review of the Seagate BlackArmor NAS 440

The 440 is a four-bay NAS device that comes with four, user-serviceable, internal SATA drives, which can be configured as RAID 0, 1, 5, or 10 arrays, or as JBOD (just a bunch of disks). Depending on which RAID mode is being used, drives can be swapped out without needing to shutdown the device--commonly referred to as hot-swapping. The 440 also includes a total of four USB 2.0 ports, which can accommodate additional storage in the form of external hard drives or for attaching a USB-based printer to make the printer accessible to users over a local network. Another feature of the 440 is that it includes two Gigabit Ethernet ports for port-failover or aggregation. Come on by the site and check it out...

Mid-range GPU comparison: Gigabyte GTS 250 1GB and 9600GT 512MB Graphics Cards
PC Perspective posted a comparison between Gigabyte GTS 250 1GB and 9600GT 512MB Graphics Cards

The massive influx of mid-range GPUs has made for a feeding frenzy by consumers looking for budget graphics solutions. Mid-range offerings from NVIDIA and ATI have completely saturated the market with sub-$100 graphics cards that can almost play Crysis Warhead at decent resolutions. Some video cards priced just over the $100 mark can easily play Crysis and other GPU-intensive games like Far Cry 2 and World in Conflict at higher resolutions too.

SilverStone Element ST50EF-Plus 500 W Power Supply Review
Hardware Secrets posted a review on the SilverStone Element ST50EF-Plus 500 W Power Supply

SilverStone Element power supply series is being out for some years now, and we were curious to review their popular 500 W model, ST50EF-Plus. It is important to know that models from SilverStone Element series can be manufactured by two distinct companies: models up to 600 W are manufactured by Enhance Electronics, while models starting at 650 W are manufactured by Seventeam. SilverStone uses a lot of different manufacturers for their power supplies. Besides Enhance and Seventeam, units from their Decathlon series are manufactured by Impervio and units from their Strider series are manufactured by FSP. Phew!

Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus Socket 1156 Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus Socket 1156 Heatsink Review

In this review Frostytech will be testing Coolermaster's Hyper 212 Plus tower heatsink - an exposed heatpipe base cooler that comes ready out of the box for socket 1156 Intel 'Lynnfield' P55 motherboards. Naturally, it supports Intel socket 775/1366/1156 and AMD 939/AM2/AM3 processors. For whatever reason, Intel has spaced the motherboard mounting holes for socket 775, 1156 and 1366 all a little differently... but that's another story.

MSI X58M Review
Neoseeker reviews a inexpensively priced mATX X58 board, the MSI X58M

The X58M is a very capable motherboard out of MSI's entry-level lineup: it packs a whole bunch of features into a small mATX form factor. And with the ability to install the usual six DDR3 modules in triple channel configuration, as well as two video cards in CrossFire or SLI, the X58M is on equal footing with some of the more expensive, higher-end X58 ATX boards we have reviewed.

Evercool Rifling Fan 80mm RF-8 Review
OCC has published a review on the Evercool Rifling Fan 80mm RF-8

The Evercool Rifling Fan RF-8 did respectably in testing, performing quieter than the case fans and performing as well as a fan with both a higher CFM and noise rating and in the load testing. The bearing is improved over sleeve bearing and has the second highest lifespan of Evercool's fans with 40,000 hours. The shape can be awkward, but if users want more performance out of a 80mm mount then this fan provides a solution. The fan performed well, but it does have some quirks.

AMA Phantom Review
OCC has published a review on the AMA Phantom

The AMA Phantom performed better than the AMA Orc and with a smaller foot print. Although it isn't as unique looking, personally the performance would win me over. Although the package looks like it was dropped off the production line it still worked great and the fin damage was easily undone. Considering this heat sink has twice the heat pipes than the ZEROTherm Core 92 heat sink and is also larger, price will play a big role in the sales of this heat sink. AMA has a good theme going, the company's line of heat sinks could be very successful with the right strategy.

VIZO Luxon & Arius EX Review
PureOverclock has published a review of the VIZO Luxon and Arius EX drive enclosures.

VIZO has produced two products to make the otherwise tedious but wholly necessary process of backing up your data much easier. For review, we've got the Luxon Advanced ED, and the Arius EX, the former being an external drive enclosure, and the latter, a locking, internal HDD rack that fits right into a 5.25" drive bay. Both are designed to support 3.5" drives and a SATA II interface, with the Luxon supporting eSATA as well. Let's take a look and see how each fares.
