Thecus N3200 3-Bay SOHO Network Storage System Review
Bigbruin.com has posted a review on the Thecus N3200 3-Bay SOHO Network Storage System

The Thecus N3200 3-Bay SOHO network storage system is much more than a typical network attached storage device, and is something like a Swiss Army knife of networking and storage functionality. In addition to making sure your important data is well looked after on three hard drives configured in your choice of RAID arrays, it makes sharing it locally and globally rather easy.

Mega Fifteen-way USB 2.0 Flash Drive Roundup
TweakTown posted Mega Fifteen-way USB 2.0 Flash Drive Roundup

By now, few can deny the convenience of having a small size, high volume storage device that is able to travel with them in the same manner as a set of keys or wallet. I was first introduced to a thumb drive several years ago at a LAN party I was hosting. Until that time I really couldn’t understand why someone would spend forty to fifty Dollars on a small device that only held 32 MB of data, but that same day my outlook changed when we needed to transfer an antivirus update to a server without exposing it to the network.

Over the years flash storage has changed. The early thumb drives were fairly bulky compared to today’s standards. With that reduction in size, companies have changed the way they package units. It is possible to get a thumb drive that is nearly the size of a credit card and easily fits in your wallet or purse. Other units like the Super Talent Pico C are barely an inch long and resemble a device carried by James Bond for his secret spy work.

Aeneon Xtune PC3-12800 Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Aeneon Xtune DDR PC3-12800 memory kit

Thanks to the lowered pricing of memory these days, it's not uncommon for relatively unknown companies to throw down the gauntlet for the bigger boys and this is a good thing, as it keeps the market leaders on their toes at the very least. With that in mind, today I have a kit entitled the XTune from Aeneon which is interestingly a subsidiary of Qimonda, the chip makers. Their reputation has always been relatively good when it came to memory chips, so how will their own brand of kit stand up to the flack? Let's find out.

Palit are one of a growing number of companies who now sell Nvidia and ATI cards which means that in the same price range they can often have several competing products. In the case of the sub $200 market two such products are their 9800GT and 4850 Sonic graphics cards.

FrostyTech posted a review on the nPowerTek NPH-775-140HC Heatsink

The first thing you'll notice when looking at this Intel cooler is that
NPowertek NPH-775-140HC looks very much like Intel's retail box thermal solution. The NPH-775-140HC is rated for heat loads up to 130W, however we'd suggested keeping things to energy efficient Intel CPUs that have a sub-95W TDP rating.

Gigabyte & Foxconn AMD 790GX Motherboards
InsideHW.com has posted review for Gigabyte & Foxconn AMD 790GX motherboards

It' s been a while since AMD-ATi Company introduced, so far the best integrated chipset - AMD RS780 i.e. AMD780G which surpassed, by performances of integrated graphics and by quality of video display, its competition. nVIDIA soon after introduced its 780a chipset that offered support for SLi and didn't fall much behind AMD/ATi RS780. Comparing to AMD RS780, nf780a is attended for more expensive motherboards that are equipped with better and more quality electronics. But, motherboards with RS780 couldn't go hand in hand with specifications of "hot" quad core Phenom processors (dissipation is up to 140W) and it often happened that cheap 780G motherboard in combination with such a processor broke down in guarantee time period.

Taking two good things and combining the concept is in most cases a reasonably good recipe for another great product. There is no doubt that also the opposite can happen, you may be getting the worst of two worlds but that is a story for yet another day.

Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 in Crossfire Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 in Crossfire

While I had heard about the HD 4670 for a while and that it was going to be a 9500 GT DDR3 killer, I as usual didn’t really process it all until just the other day when the card arrived. What we need to find out today is how the card performs, what it offers and also what happens when we put two of these $79 USD cards together. Before we get stuck into all that, though, let’s have a look at the package Sapphire has put together.

With two HD 4670 cards in hand, what we will do today is compare the card against the 9500 GT DDR3 which sits in the same price bracket. Since we do have two that we will Crossfire, we will also throw the HD 4850 into the mix to see how two of these cards perform against it; just to give us an idea of what’s going on.

Today AMD launches their new cards based on the RV730 graphics processor. The Powercolor PCS HD 4670 we have on our testbench today comes with a dual slot heatsink which offers excellent cooling and low noise. Together with the serious gaming performance of this card, AMD has managed to successfully position their product in the sub-$100 segment.

Thermaltake Matrix Review
OCC has published a new review on the Thermaltake Matrix

So in the end, would I recommend this case? Not as a case for an extreme enthusiast, but as a standard desktop case or even as an HTPC case, the Matrix is well suited for the job. I would however, love to see Thermaltake's next stab at this design. I want to see better temps but keep the side access option, that was a nice touch. For now, as it sits without the additional optional cooling features, the case was outperformed by the comparison cases. At less than $50, you get what the case comes with. As a performance PC case, the Matrix is ill suited in stock trim, but add the optional cooling features to reduce component temperatures and you have a classy looking mid tower case.

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 Video Card Review
Futurelooks checks out an AMD based video card from GIGABYTE

It’s hard to justify spending over $500 just to get a single game like Crysis to run. However, that’s just what we’ve been doing over the last while as NVIDIA pretty much had the run of the market place, pushing out GPUs at unheard of price points, punishing gamers and their wallets. Then things changed in June this year as AMD released a new series of GPUs starting with their 4850. NVIDIA’s response? Cut prices like crazy and hope that people would ignore AMD. However, as benchmarks and reviews started showing up, it was clear that NVIDIA had more to worry about than just price points.

ATI Radeon HD 4670 Review
The Guru of 3D posted ATI Radeon HD 4670 review

ATI today unleashes the Radeon HD 4670. A nice little card that packs some decent punch in the value minded consumers. The Radeon HD 4680 will roughly offer you last year's mid-range performance at 79 USD. With that amount of performance the card will allow you to flick on 4xAA and 16AF and still play modern games at 1280x1024 and maybe even 1600x1200. And for you as a gamer on a budget, is an immensely interesting fact for your feature and framerate budget.

ATI HD 4670 Review
Today Neoseeker has reviewed ATI's latest, the mid-range HD 4670.

This video card has a great host of features, and using a rapidly aging video card, say a 7800 GT or HD 2600 Pro (or something along those lines) this card would make a great upgrade, being offered initially for about $80. The HD 4670 is a huge improvement over the last generation's mid-range offerings, from both NVIDIA and ATI, and this is well achieved as the card utilizes that less expensive 'mid-range' 128 bit memory interface, but still delivers.

Today I am going to be looking at a product from a company that isn’t usually associated with the computer hardware industry. The company is Pioneer and the product is one of their new DVD rewriter’s the DVR-116DBK. Coming from a big household name like Pioneer I expect it to be cutting edge, even though Pioneer isn’t generally known for computer hardware.
