Thermaltake DH-202 HTPC (Media PC) Chassis Review
TechwareLabs has published a review of the Thermaltake DH-202 HTPC (Media PC) Chassis.

In this day and age, technology and computers consume our lives. Its only natural that with time, people will realize that the puny, limited DVR (digital video recorder) that the Cable Company makes you pay for is a waste of space and money, and the longer you have it the more of a waste of money it becomes. With the ability to surf the web, check your email, watch HD movies, record television, and much more, the real question is: “Why wouldn’t you get a HTPC?!

Rosewill RCM-8163 Webcam Review
DreamWare Computers posted a review on the Rosewill RCM-8163 Webcam

Webcams are one of those markets where you can spend as little as $10 on sale and as much as $100+ on so-called high end offerings. What really is the difference? Well, some higher end models will offer things like face tracking, zoom/pan and some other software features too. As much as those features will wow a lot of people, some of us just want the camera for one basic thing: a way to be seen and heard online. I was intrigued when Rosewill offered me one of their latest webcams to review, the RCM-8163 Elegant 1.3MP cam with built-in mic. This was only a $25CDN webcam - would it offer good video quality compared to my current cam that I paid over $100 for? Let's see!

Mushkin's GeForce GTX 295 comes in a very stylish wooden box that radiates "premium product" as soon as you have it in your hands. Other than that the card follows NVIDIA's single PCB GTX 295 reference specifications to the letter, but also comes at an attractive price point of $499.

Up until now, I've been packing a small wireless Microsoft mouse to accompany my laptop when I hit the road.

Thermaltake BlacX SATA hard drive dock Review
Maximum CPU has posted its review of the Thermaltake BlacX hard drive dock

Once, accessing data off of spare hard drives took more effort than it was worth. The introduction of inexpensive external enclosures made swapping hard drives much easier than opening up the computer was, but enclosures can still be a hassle for those hard drives you only need quick access to files. Like recovering files when Windows won't boot, or grabbing a single document or picture off of an old hard drive. Enter: the hard drive dock. Hard drive docks allow hard drives to be swapped quickly and easily, without screws or tools, making them ideal for those brief times you need to use an internal drive externally. Today we will be looking at Thermaltake's BlacX SATA hard drive dock.

Lian-Li PC-Q07 mITX Computer Case Review
APH Networks posted a review on the Lian-Li PC-Q07 mITX Computer Case

It all started with the idea of an ultra low cost PC for education use in third world countries. Then Asus took the basis of that idea, and evolved into the Eee PC -- a small, low cost laptops for mainstream consumers. The netbook craze begins to take off. After that, Intel decided that they needed to make a processor for this very purpose in order to take advantage of this rapidly growing segment. The Intel Atom was born. Then the netbook market exploded. Welcome to 2009, a year where many low cost computing solutions came into this world, thanks to the Intel Atom CPU. From the original netbooks, nettops were born; a term to describe low cost desktop computers as juxtaposed to its laptop counterparts. The Atom processor even found home in network attached storage devices such as the QNAP TS-439 which we'll be reviewing next week! Interestingly, since the desktop world is all about making use of standard form factors, Mini-ITX suddenly took center stage, after development by VIA since 2001. Unsurprisingly, mITX cases also suddenly experienced a surge of demand in the market as many manufacturers jumped onto the boat, and started showcasing their own entry into this high potential segment. We took our opportunity, so what we got here today at APH Networks is, well, a mITX case (Why else do you think we took so much time to talk about it anyway? Haha). The Lian-Li PC-Q07 is a beautiful, high quality, full aluminum case from renowned chassis manufacturer... well, Lian-Li -- which you probably have guessed from the name as aforementioned anyway. And this time, it's mITX. How does it stack up in this new world of computing solutions? Read on to find out.

Cooler Master Hyper N620 Review
OCC has published a review on the Cooler Master Hyper N620

The Cooler Master Hyper N620 lived up to my expectations. It is solidly built, engineered well, and performs well. The heatsink works on a variety of mounting types, even back to socket 754, which I was surprised about. The Hyper N620's base is slightly concave, as I pointed out the "pinch" on my nose while looking at my reflection in the otherwise mirrored finish base. I did check with a straight edge up against a light, and it was clear that there was a slight concavity. Not much, but it was there.

Logitech Pure-Fi Dream Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Logitech Pure-Fi Dream

Apple changed the digital music player game with its release of the first iPod nearly eight years ago.

Phenom II vs Core i7: Overclocking Value Comparison
PureOverclock takes a look at the overclocking value performance of AMD Phenom II and Intel Core i7 processors and systems.

When we recently took an in-depth look at gaming performance and corresponding value in our Phenom II vs Core i7 Gaming Value article, it became very apparent that the fanboys on either side of the fence had much to say about the results, leading to some very spirited debate.

After carefully considering some of the comments, we decided to expand our examination and follow up with another Intel vs AMD article, one that instead focused on CPU performance and overclocking. Today we bring you that article, once again tackling another topic that sets off the passion: does AMD or Intel provide better overclocking value?
