FlatOut 2 PC Game Review
TechDomain put up a FlatOut 2 PC Game Review

When Bugbear Entertainment released FlatOut in 2004, it was widely acclaimed as one of the best racing games released to date. With a higher level of realistic effects, “flat-out” racing, and advanced graphics, it quickly set the benchmark for all games of the genre. Well, Bugbear is at it again, this time with the release of FlatOut 2. As you will see, FlatOut 2 has all the same ideals – marvellous cinematics and graphics, multiple game play arenas and the “flat-out” style seat of your pants racing entertainment.

Brando 23- in- 1 Card Reader and USB Hub Combo Review
Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the Brando 23- in- 1 Card Reader and USB Hub Combo

If you only need to support one or two media formats, consider
looking for alternatives. The list of problems is extensive: poor structural
designs, poor performance, questionable price, and so on. The only feature I
enjoyed using was the USB hub and multi-format support, but that itself is
not enough to offset the short comings.

Elite Bastards commentary: ATI's Mobility Graphics refresh
Elite Bastards take a brief look at what's new in the Radeon X1350, X1450 and most importantly, the Mobility Radeon X1700

One of the main aims of the Mobility Radeon X1700 is to further improve performance - Below, you can see some numbers quoted by ATI using a number of games and benchmarks (at unspecified settings, I hasten to add) to get a vague feel for the kind of performance increases they are shooting for with this refresh.

Of course, considering the importance of power usage in mobile graphics cores, particularly outside of the naturally power-hungry high-end parts, why would you want to increase performance if it meant increasing power draw and thus reducing battery life? The answer (and indeed the reason we're taking a little time out to look at this core), is that the Mobility Radeon X1700 should have the same level of power consumption as its predecessor the Mobility Radeon X1600, thanks to a dramatic improvement in the performance per Watt of the Mobility Radeon X1700. But how has this been achieved?

Tt Pure Power 250W Video Card PSU Review
T-Break has posted a review on the Tt Pure Power 250W Video Card PSU

The Design of the power supply is unique that it can be installed in a 5.25” bay. Thermaltake also sleeves the cables to allow Optimum air-flow in the chassis while the black color sleeves look good as well.
