Auzentech X-Fi Prelude 7.1 Review
Hardwarecanucks posted a review on the Auzentech X-Fi Prelude 7.1 sound card.

Auzentech definitely listened to their customer base when they headed to the drawing board for the Prelude 7.1. It has a bundle of wanted features that were almost impossible to get on one sound card up until now. We were very impressed with this card from start to finish. The sound quality coupled with gaming features and new high resolution digital output specifications (which will be added) make this one solid offering from the Auzen audio group.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 CPU Review
I4U NEWS reviews the Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 CPU

If you are looking for a processor to be the brains of your new gaming machine, but don't want to break the bank the E6750 is a great option. You will want to be sure if you opt for the Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 that your mainboard supports the 1333MHz FSB speed. Mainboards that do support the FSB are the Intel P35 and the NVIDIA 680i and 650i mainboards. The P35 offers DDR3 support while the NVIDIA chipsets don't, right now that's not much of an issue with DDR3 not affecting performance much.

3D Game Man posted a review on the Gigabyte iSolo 210 Case

Gigabyte continues to show their dedication to quality and design. The Gigabyte iSolo 210 series of cases show themselves as worth of any desktop especially in an office setting. The classy looks of the front bezel will appeal to even the most moderate computer builder while the side mesh window, water cooling abilities and tool-less installation will appeal to everybody including enthusiasts.

Silverstone Sugo SG02 Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Silverstone Sugo SG02

With motherboards getting smaller and smaller, small form factor PCs are all the rage. It's possible to fit a whole lot of computing power into these tiny spaces, and people are taking notice.

However, most SFF cases require you to make sacrifices in the way of graphics card length, or the size of power supply that you can use. The SilverStone Sugo SG02 which builds on the success of the SG01, is able to house large GPU's, a couple of 5.25" drives, a pair of HDD's and a full size PSU.

Hopefully this will show the competition how it's meant to be done.

D-Link 8-Port PoE Switch (DES-1008P) Review
BIOS Magazine posted a review on the D-Link 8-Port PoE Switch (DES-1008P)

The DES-1008P extends D-Link's range of scalable PoE switches, which cater for VoIP and WLAN users, without the hassle of additional power adapters, cords or AC outlets. As well as being very simple to set-up, the DES-1008P provides a cost-effective entry-level solution for small businesses wishing to make the most of their network. You must remember that it's an entry-level product though, so there are no management tools that provide browser access to PoE settings. You should also consider Netgear's 8-Port Fast Ethernet Switch (FS108P), which is very similar in terms of cost but comes with a lifetime warranty and, in our opinion, better support.

Lian-Li PC-B25 Review
Bit-Tech published a review of the Lian-Li PC-B25

And this is the essence of the B25 a case which isnt about being the coolest or the quietest, just about being the most stylish. The B25 stands out for excellent build quality and design, not for technical performance. Theres no word on pricing just yet, not even any indicated on the official Lian-Li website yet, but it should be coming within the next few weeks and we can hardly wait for a chance to pick one up ourselves.

Spire Fourier IV SP607B3C Heatsink Review
FrotyTech posted Spire Fourier IV SP607B3C Heatsink Review

The Spire Fourier IV SP607B3-C is a heavy heatsink, so it installs with very secure mounting hardware that is quite inconvenient. The heatsink is compatible with socket 754/939/940/AM2 AMD Athlon64 processors and socket 775 Intel CPUs. In each case, the motherboard must be removed from the computer case and a metal rear-PCB support bracket installed. The Fourier IV's mounting screws go in from the back of the motherboard to the front where the heatsink support bracket is. It takes at least two hands to do this, and the rear metal support plate doesn't have an adhesive patch to keep it in place so it's tricky.

HP Blackbird 002 Gaming System Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the HP Blackbird 002 Gaming System

After HP's acquisition of Voodoo PC last year, many speculated that the company's entrance into the high-end gaming PC market was imminent. After all, why else would they have bought Voodoo, right? But since then, not much has changed. It seemed as if it was business as usual at both HP and Voodoo. HP was secretly working on their own gaming PC, however, and its codename was Blackbird.

Despite what you may be thinking, the Blackbird wasn't being designed solely by the newly acquired engineers from Voodoo. In fact, the Blackbird project was well underway before the acquisition was finalized. The two did collaborate on a design though, that ultimately became the product we're featuring on HotHardware today, the Blackbird 002 - a high-end, fully customizable machine that's poised to do battle with the best gaming systems the industry has to offer...

Sapphire HD 2600 XT Ultimate Edition Review
OCC has published a new review of the Sapphire HD 2600 XT Ultimate Edition

I was very surprised at the size of this box because it was almost twice as big as the regular HD 2600 XT. On the front of the box, we still have the attractive woman who is suited up for a futuristic battle in the same nonchalant pose. But she shares the front with multiple technologies and features which are proudly displayed. The back of the box illustrates the product highlights and also informs you of what's included inside the box.

Antec 850w Quattro Power Supply Review
Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the Antec 850w Quattro Power Supply

Is the Antec 850 Watt TruePower Quattro power supply the ultimate 850 Watt power house? If you want that answered based on looks and appearance, the answer will depend on you. If you base that answer off of exceptionally stable rail voltages all the way to 100% load, then the answer is a very clear yes. Most users needing this kind of power have some serious hardware connected and demand serious results. There are far too many important components that you don't want to chance on a lesser power supply. This is exactly the audience the Antec 850 Watt TruePower Quattro will best suit. Of course, anyone can pick one up just for the racy appearance and great power.

Auzentech X-Fi Prelude review
Elite Bastards posted Auzentech X-Fi Prelude sound card review

On the X-Meridian's back plate, we find a number of gold-plated connectors, as you might expect from a sound card aimed at this kind of market. Starting from the right, you have microphone and line-in connectors, followed by analogue connectors for all of the speakers required in a full 7.1 multi-channel setup. Finally, you have two digital SPDIF Toslink connectors (for input and output respectively) - Connected to these are a pair of Toslink to mini-optical adapters, allowing you to use either type of optical cable depending on your particular setup. These two connectors have 25 Mbps of bandwidth, enough to support both Dolby and DTS' High Definition audio formats (Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD respectively). Indeed, the configuration of the back plate is identical to the X-Meridian in every respect.

Laplink PCmover 3 Review
TrustedReviews have looked at the Laplink PCmover 3

This is a very clever piece of software that goes further than other migration tools. It handles not only documents, but also any applications you can legally move and the settings which you have made to make your life easier. £35.64 doesn't seem a lot for this, but that only pays for a one-'use' (not user) license.
