3D Game Man posted a review on the Logisys Acrylic Power Supply

Logisys has created a wonderful answer to those looking to help the look of their acrylic setups. This power supply has great construction with eye catching neon Green mesh. Performance with medium level hardware shows strong but with a transition to updated hardware, the numbers will greatly be affected as the amperage just can't keep up with today's newest hardware.

Virtual-Hideout takes a look at the ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus Motherboard

ASUS has been one of the leading manufacturers of motherboards for a number of years, and is the preferred board of the VH staff. The motherboard under the scope this time around is the P5N32-E SLI Plus, which uses the 650i chipset - a lesser version of the 680i which means a lower retail price. Although this is a newer motherboard using a less powerful chipset, they did make some changes to it and got dual x16 PCI-E SLI support. Another cool feature is the Stack Cool design which helps pull heat away from the components around the CPU. Another heat reducing feature are the heatpipes that cover each of the chipset chips separately. With so many features let's get on with the review and see how things work out.

Bonafide Reviews.com posted a review of Samsung's HT-TX72 5.1 Channel Home Theater

With all of the hype around HDTV's and the high definition market exploding as much as it is, it only seems natural that the home theater market is tailing along not far behind. Of course home theater systems have been around for years but with people buying up expensive big screen displays, most of which only come with "decent" speakers, it only makes sense that there is a want to buy a fancy new speaker system to really get the most out of the experience.

ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Samsung SyncMaster 940UX 19-inch LCD Monitor

There's no denying that you have a lot of options when it comes to selecting an LCD monitor to accompany your computer. Some of these monitors are designed to attract your attention with their exceptional refresh rates, contrast ratios, or viewing angles, whereas others attempt to grab their segment of the market by tossing a mediocre panel into the most attractive-looking package possible. The Samsung SyncMaster 940UX is a 19-inch standard ratio LCD that boasts a feature you probably won't find on most other monitors: it can connect to your computer using USB.

OCC has published a new review of the ECS P35T-A Motherboard

The P35T-A is a full size ATX motherboard that features the Intel P-35 Express chipset. Among other things in this view, you will note the purple color of the motherboard PCB. Something to distinguish this ECS product from many of the other motherboards on the market. While most of the P35 motherboards on the market feature some type of heatpipe cooling for the chipsets and power management circuit, this board does not.

TheTechLounge posted a review on Apple iWork 08

One thing you find after you install iWork '08 is that, when you start, you're offered quick tutorials. If you have time, I'd strongly recommend the initial tour of iWork '08, as well as the video tutorials on basic features and, also, the various features that set the iWork '08 applications apart from their competitors. Apple offers a 30 day free trial of iWork on their website. So how do the new versions of Pages and Keynote compare to their '06 counterparts? How does the suite stack up against Microsoft Office for the Mac?

Tweaknews.net posted a review on the Steel Series SX Pro Gaming Mousepad

In the end it comes down to one question: Are you prepared to pay for the best. At a hefty 49.95 Euro (US$70) this is not a product a casual user will be interested in. I personally would never spend that much on a mouse pad but I don’t claim to be an avid gamer either. If you are looking for the best gaming pad money can buy, you’ve found it. If you are looking for good performance at an affordable price, keep looking.

Elite Bastards posted a game review on BioShock

Once you fire up the game, it takes very little time for you to be hurled headlong into 'Rapture', the world in which BioShock is set. The game begins with a brief introduction as to when and where you are (1960, in case you're wondering), but the next thing you know the plane upon which your character is travelling is plunged as a flaming wreck into the Mid-Atlantic. From here, it's a case of swimming for your life to the conveniently placed monolithic structure in the middle of the ocean - A building which leads to a door, which leads to a capsule, which leads deep under the sea... To Rapture, the creation of a man known as Andrew Ryan.

Like most huge underwater cities in science fiction, Rapture has been built as one man's utopia - A world for the brightest minds in science and art, and the hardest working men and women wishing to escape from the oppression of capitalism, religion, communism and the like. This freedom from the normal constraints of humanity has led to numerous scientific breakthroughs, giving the people of Rapture access to what are known as 'Plasmids' - Serum which can rewrite a person's genetic code to give them, to put it bluntly, super powers. Need to perform telekinesis, or shoot lighting from your hands? Buy yourself the relevant Plasmid, and enjoy your new abilities to your heart's content.

CoolTechZone.com posted a review on the Logitech VX Nano Notebook Mouse

We did a First Look on Logitech's VX Nano notebook mouse when it was first announced, and from all angles (read theoretically) it appeared to be another successful product in the company's ever expanding peripherals portfolio. Yes, we tend to be biased from time to time, but you can't blame us. Logitech has a historic track record of successful devices, and unless proven wrong, we have no reason to believe otherwise.

Bjorn3D takes a look at the Swiftech MCW-60

Desperate times call for desperate measures. You may have heard this saying spoken throughout history and while those who have uttered these words may have been referring to periods of great struggle I am sure seeing the current state of video cards this quote applies here. As GPU's continue to hunger for more and more power they will continue to generate more and more heat. Gone are the days when a simple piece of metal would suffice. Even mid-range cards such as the 8800GTS require a dual-slot cooling solution to tame the beast within. What is an enthusiast to do? Sure you can get a nice large cooler if you can live with the noise it generates. What about water cooling? Ya know, that stuff you're NOT supposed to bring near expensive electronics. Before you decide me mad and click that little red 'X' what if I told you that you need not be so desperate to try water cooling. That a company with higher quality standards than most car manufacturers has a waterblock that destroys the competition and keeps your video card nice and chilly. With no more ado I give you the MCW-60 from Swiftech, a waterblock that delivers were it counts.
