Xpad Slim Laptop Pad Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the Xpad Slim Laptop Pad

I have used several laptop workstations that are intended to be used on your lap, but many are bulky and take up a lot of room on the couch. The cumbersome workstations really get in the way and I have looked for a thin solution to this problem. This was the case, until recently, when I discovered the Xpad Slim.The Xpad Slim is a thin plastic laptop pad that has a rubber anti-slip mat on the bottom. The Xpad Slim has raised rubber feet to keep the laptop off of the surface. The raised surface and low profile design help to keep the laptop raised for cooling and provide a nice work surface away from your lap to keep you comfortable while you work.

XFX Radeon HD 4850 1GB Video Card Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the XFX Radeon HD 4850 1GB Video Card

Featuring a full TeraFLOP of compute power, the XFX ATI Radeon HD 4850 is true power player. The single slot design enables easy three- and four-way CrossFire assembly and the sub $125 price tag doesn't hurt either. Will the XFX ATI Radeon HD 4850 with 1GB of memory have enough to play the latest game titles? Read on to find out!

In our performance testing the XFX Radeon HD 4850 1GB was up against some stiff competition, namely it’s faster and more expensive 4000 series brothers. To say that the 4850 1GB is a bad card would be incorrect. At just $124.99 it is an extremely capable gaming card and the best bang for the buck in our testing today. A few years ago, buying a sub $150 video card meant that you had to keep the resolution low and turn down or off certain in-game features in order to get playable results. That is not the case today, the XFX Radeon HD 4850 1GB is able to play the latest games with all the eye candy on, though the compromise will be keeping it 1680x1050 or lower in most cases...

BFG's GTX 295 H2OC: Water-Cooled Graphics
HotHardware.com posted a review on BFG's GTX 295 H2OC video card

In a market where dual-GPU, single-PCB graphics cards are readily available from most major OEMs, product manufacturers are increasingly turning to water cooling as a way to differentiate their products and out-maneuver their competitors. The superior thermal characteristics of liquid cooling allows companies like BFG to hit higher core / memory clocks than they might using air alone. However, H2O-reliant high-end video cards cater to an even smaller slice of the market-specifically, those enthusiasts with big money to spend and who are comfortable using water in their own PC.

BFG's GTX 295 H2OC CLE (aka the GTX 295 H2OC with ThermoIntelligence Advanced Cooling Solution) changes that. This particular flavor of H2OC is a self-contained cooling system that arrives fully assembled and can be plugged into the system immediately, provided your case meets the appropriate requirements. Come on by and check it out...

Cooler Master Silent Pro M1000 PSU Review
JonnyGURU.com posted Cooler Master Silent Pro M1000 PSU Review

It is said that silence is golden. Well, today silence is bronze. 80 Plus Bronze, to be specific. Cooler Master has sent me their latest and greatest in their modular Silent Pro line, and I intend to see what it's made of. With this unit coming in at one thousand watts, my expectations are high.

Come on in, and we'll see if a one kilowatt unit intended to be silent can be any kind of solid performer when confronted by my hot box of doom.

Samsung LD190 USB Laptop Monitor Review
DreamWare Computers posted a review on the Samsung LD190 USB Laptop Monitor

I've been really intrigued lately by the number of USB DisplayLink powered monitors emerging on the market. These monitors are coming in all sorts of sizes and designs and usually have fairly affordable price tags to match. Ranging from 7" up to full size 22"+ monitors, they are a great way to add 1 or many additional displays on to any desktop or even laptop computer! Today I was excited to check out Samsung's newest, and one of their very few, offerings in this field; the LD190.

Logitech G35 Gaming Headphones Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Logitech G35 Gaming Headphones

Each earmuff has an adjustable slider that ranges from 1-9. It makes a nice, satisfying click each time you change to a different number which I found handy with trying to make them even without taking them off your head. The earmuffs also swivel from side to side.

NZXT Lexa S Mid-Tower Case Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the NZXT Lexa S Mid-Tower Case

Today I have for review NZXT's latest in their Crafted Series of cases, the mid-tower Lexa S. Now you may recognize that name, in fact NZXT has previously released two other cases under the Lexa moniker, the original Lexa and the Lexa Blackline. All three are considered mid-tower cases, with the Lexa S measuring up at just under 19" tall by 21" long and 8" wide. The Lexa S comes pre-installed with a bunch of fans and provisions for liquid cooling. Join me as I take a closer look at the NZXT Lexa S.

AZZA Titan 850W Review
PureOverclock posted a review of the AZZA Titan 850W power supply.

Traditionally when talking about the "heart" of a personal computer the first thing we think of is the CPU. That is understandable but the fundamentals really lye in another piece of equipment typically over looked in general, if not up front then in the maintenance of it. When we think of a car is the engine the "heart"? When we think of ourselves is it the heart that makes us get up and go?

The answer to these questions is quite simple "NO". Without a battery a car won't start, without food the human body can't function and the same goes for our rigs. The PSU is the heart of our computers and today we will be looking at the AZZA Titan 80+ 850W power supply.

Titan TTC-NK95TZ Entertainer Review
OCC has published a review on the Titan TTC-NK95TZ Entertainer

I was slightly skeptical at first due to its size, the poorly machined base, and the slight gapping between the aluminum contact plate and the heatpipes, but after testing the Entertainer, I will admit I almost didn't think the temperatures that I was seeing were correct. It idled and loaded under stock conditions at nearly the same as the Cooler Master Hyper N620, which has to be at least twice its size and boasts and extra fan. To be sure, I actually retested the N620 to make sure it didn't read any different that it did originally, and it did not.

Antec Two Hundred Mid-Tower Computer Case Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Antec Two Hundred Mid-Tower Computer Case

PC gaming has never been an inexpensive proposition. The cost of processing power, for both CPU and GPU, may have gone down in cost per GigaFLOP, but the price tag to play the latest, coolest, PC game has stayed relatively constant. Fortunately, for those on a budget, things are looking up lately. One reason is that reasonably priced and even budget priced gaming cases are now available. Antec has just come to the rescue with their new Two Hundred model mid-tower gaming case. Benchmark Reviews has already shown you Antec's high end offerings, now take a look at what you might have to give up by going the budget route for your gaming rig chassis, and surprisingly what you might gain. The Two Hundred has some new features that could convince you to spend less rather than more on your next gaming case.
