Gigabyte GA-G31MX-S2 Micro-ATX Review
TrustedReviews have looked at the Gigabyte GA-G31MX-S2 Micro-ATX

The GA-G31MX-S2 is absurdly cheap and it'll be absolutely fine if you're building a basic Core 2 Duo PC for your mum. However, gamers, home entertainment enthusiasts and overclockers should give it a wide berth.

VeryPC GreenPC Review
TrustedReviews have looked at the VeryPC GreenPC

The GreenPC succeeds in cutting power consumption by a significant margin and comes with one of the best software and support packages I've come across, so it's very close to being recommended. However, when running Windows Vista, it simply doesn't have enough RAM and performance suffers because of it. So, I'd either recommend getting more RAM or downgrading to Windows XP to maintain satisfactory performance.

Toshiba Qosmio G40-10E Review
TrustedReviews have looked at the Toshiba Qosmio G40-10E

If you have the money and want a multimedia notebook then the Qosmio G40-10E has you covered. An HD DVD-R drive and a superb display combine to great effect and, despite a few design foibles, a combination of size and design give it a distinct visual impact.

Western Digital Scorpio 250GB 2.5" SATA Hard Drive Review
Bigbruin.com posted a review on the Western Digital Scorpio 250GB 2.5" SATA Hard Drive

The Scorpio 250GB 2.5" SATA Hard Drive is a great addition or upgrade for anyone looking for the maximum storage possible in the 2.5" form factor. In addition to a traditional installation inside a computer, the 250GB Scorpio drive would make an excellent choice for use in a portable enclosure, and as tested it can even be used to upgrade to a Sony Playstation 3.

Vadim Fusion LQX Intel-775G2 Review
bit-tech published a review of Vadim's Fusion LQX Intel-775G2

There were only a few issues that we found with the machine. First is of course the aforementioned paintwork blemishes, which Vadim has assured us are because the paint job was completed in half the normal turnaround time. Secondly, the base plate on the BlastFlow Siberian waterblock gets pretty warm because it's not actively cooled like the DangerDen, but it's still far away from hot enough to cause instabilities. And finally, the fan and pump controller needs some work or replacement because the flashing is annoying.

Every Vadim machine is hand built and tested by a single person, it's not just run off a factory in China then shipped to your door in a brown box. The personal service is a key component and attraction that makes a Vadim system seem worth the price. If we disregard the £1,000 custom paint job that's not quite perfect, this Vadim machine is well worth buying. However, we have to evaluate what's in front of us and despite Vadim assuring us that the paint blemishes were because of the quick turnaround, we can't guarantee that those won't be there in PCs built for paying customers.

Our advice would be to check over your PC very carefully if you go for the custom paint, and if there are any issues, report them to Vadim sooner rather than later. From what we know of the company, the guys at Vadim will want to make sure that you're 100 per cent happy with your machine.

Corsair HX620 620W Power Supply Review
Hardwarecanucks posted a review of the slightly-refreshed Corsair HX620 620W Power Supply

With the HX620, Corsair has had a winning product for more than a year and they have once again shown that this product has every right to be at the very top of your list if you are in the market for a 600W to 700W power supply. Over the past year, the HX620 has only become more appealing with a reduced price and additions such as a pair of 8-pin PCI-E connectors. No matter which test we put it through, this unassuming power supply showed it is at the top of its game by besting every other power supply we have tested to date.

Logitech Premium Notebook Headset Review
I4U NEWS reviews the Logitech Premium Notebook Headset.

If you are looking for a notebook headset that works well for music, movies and casual gaming plus has the ability to work with Skype or other VOIP services this is the review for you. Sound quality is impressive; the Logitech Premium Notebook Headset has decent levels of bass along with crisp highs and mids. Volume levels are good; I found anything higher than mid way up the inline volume controller was uncomfortable in my use.

Ultra ChillTec Thermo-Electric CPU Cooler Review
HotHardware evaluate the features, installation, and performance of Ultra's ChillTec Thermo-Electric CPU Cooler.

The ChillTec is a bit more than an oversized aftermarket cooler. This unit marries two technologies into a single package, teaming a heat-pipe tower-type cooler with a peltier and an oversized fan to offer extreme cooling potential. To help facilitate use of its features, Ultra also integrates an external module that's programmed to control the cooler's functions and report on the current health of the CPU.

These last few weeks I have been working hard on a couple of Sunbeamtech cases. The first one we are going to take a good look at is the Freezing Storm. The case comes with numerous 120mm fans, 10 drive bays, and a pre-cut side window with fan vents to manage anything you throw at it. The Freezing Storm comes in two colors, silver and black. Today, we have the black version on our testing station.

Tagan ITZ series 1300 Watt Power Supply Review
Hi-Techreviews posted a review on the Tagan ITZ series 1300 Watt Power Supply

Do you think you can ever have to large of a power supply inside your case? My personal opinion is no, not when there is a good chance that after one hard drive gets full I will simply add another into the system so I am not forced to take the take the time to reload everything. That is where the power supply that we are reviewing today comes into play, The Tagan ITZ Series 1300 Watt PSU is a real 1300 unit which means that I can load 8 hard drives, a dual core processor and two video cards and it will never break a sweat.

CoolerMaster Cosmos 1000 Case Review
Motherboard.org posted a review on the CoolerMaster Cosmos 1000 Case

The Cosmos 1000 is a really easy case to work with as it has many ergonomic aspects to it that help alleviate stress during a system build. Being tool-less in its design means that 98% of the installation will not require any additional tools, but installation of the motherboard and its cooling apparatus still needs an old school screwdriver to get the job done. Essentially though the case is pretty tool-less and that's always a big plus. Push button operated drive bays and parts that easily pop on and off add even more appeal to the Cosmos 1000 during the installation process. This case is also a looker that will catch the eye of house guests or friends and will make them green with envy.

Turtle Beach Video Advantage PCI Review
OCC has published a new review of the Turtle Beach Video Advantage PCI

To begin with, I will transfer some video from an older Hi8 video camera that uses the composite cable outputs. So the first thing to do, is to connect the sound and video output of my video camera to the composite sound and video input of the Video Advantage PCI. Other than setting the directory to save my video, I have used the default settings for all the selections to get a good baseline for how the software works. I will tweak the settings as necessary. I would suggest you leave the video settings near the highest settings to get the best possible quality. Be forewarned however, that the best quality will also take up the most room on your hard drive and the steepest hardware requirements.

Cooler Master Cosmos RC-1000 Mid-Tower ATX Case Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Cooler Master Cosmos RC-1000 Mid-Tower ATX Case

Computer enthusiasts are a lot like automobile owners: we all want something different than everyone else while expressing ourselves at the same time. With so many options to choose from, both in the auto industry and the computer industry, it isn't very difficult to find your taste. Just last week I reviewed the Zalman Z-Machine GT1000 Black Mid-Tower ATX Gaming Case, which could easily share relation to the exotic sports cars we can't afford. It was a very nice case, to be sure, but at the end of the day a sports car only has one purpose. Today we take the Cooler Master Cosmos RC-1000 Midtower ATX Case for a test drive, and right away I can tell this will be the Range Rover of computer cases.
