PowerColor HD2600 Pro 512MB Review
Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the PowerColor HD2600 Pro 512MB video card

he PowerColor HD2600 Pro 512MB DDR2 is a fine example of the HD2K series with all of the multimedia features like Avivo HD but also packing just enough punch to satisfy the average gamer in 3D performance. I was actually kind of surprised how well the HD2600 Pro kept up with the other cards tested, especially with the newer more demanding games.

Zalman Dual Stereo Headphones Review
Bit-Tech published a review of Zalman Dual Stereo Headphones

Still, the headphones are comfortable to use and are just about pocket sized if you wrap the cable around the headband and, when you get right down it, that's what matters most in a pair of portable head-phones for most people. That and the price, which is another plus point for the DS4Fs. The headphones cost about $25 - $30 in the USA, or £16 in the UK which means they're hardly heavy hitting on your wallet and anyone can justify picking up a pair for their DS or PSP.

CoolIT Systems PCI Cooling Booster Review
OCModShop posted a review on the CoolIt Systems PCI Cooling Booster

Most PCI and other expansion cards do not generate alot of heat, and therefore are overlooked when cooling your computer system. Today's multimedia and home theater systems include high performance TV tuners, video capture, and high-performance sound cards that do tend to get quite warm, and could benefit from additional cooling. Even many video cards could use some extra help, as the tiny OEM heatsinks are either underpowered or fail.

If you want some additional cooling insurance, then CoolIT has the solution for you. Their PCI Cooling Booster product is intended to fit right over the PCI bay of most motherboards, thereby providing additional airflow between your expansion cards and cooling their internal components.
