OCZ Technology PC2-8500 Reaper HPC CrossFire Edition 2GB Kit Review
Bigbruin.com posted a review on the OCZ Technology PC2-8500 Reaper HPC CrossFire Edition 2GB Kit

The PC2-8500 Reaper HPC CrossFire Edition 2GB Kit is typical of the type of high performance memory products available today. What isn't typical about these modules is the heat pipe cooling solution OCZ Technology developed to get the most out of this memory. Also atypical to this market segment is OCZ Technology's 2.35V EVP (Extended Voltage Protection) which extends lifetime warranty coverage for these modules to cover usage up to 2.35 Volts.

Momento i-mate 100 Review
TrustedReviews have looked at the Momento i-mate 100.

The momento i-mate 100 has some really innovative WiFi enabled services that make sharing photos with family and friends easier than ever. However, the fact you have to pay for these services combined with mediocre screen quality, sub-par usability, and a high initial outlay, means the i-mate is hard to recommend.

NEC PlasmaSync 50XR6 50in plasma Review
TrustedReviews have looked at the NEC PlasmaSync 50XR6 50in plasma.

In sheer performance terms, the 50XR6 is a revelation for NEC, clearly benefiting in spades from the brand's new Pioneer connection. And thanks to some recent and rampant price cutting online, it's also remarkably good value by NEC standards.

The greater domestication and feature sophistication of rival 50in models like the full HD Samsung PS-50P96FD (reviewed only last week) and Panasonic's terrific HD Ready 50PX70 (now selling for under £1200 in some quarters) might still ultimately divert your attention away from this new, improved NEC effort. But the fact that it is now seriously even competing with such big consumer electronics names is something NEC should rightly be proud of.

2x1GB OCZ Platinum PC3-10666 Review
Overclockers Online has posted a review on the 2x1GB OCZ Platinum PC3-10666

We have looked at quite a few numbers and a very nice comparison between the infant DDR3 memory and its experienced older brother DDR2. The bandwidth to be had by DDR3 is simply incredible. Especially when you consider the fact that the PC3-10666 OCZ Platinum memory we tested today is at the bottom of OCZs high-performance offerings. Moving up that ladder will provide much better performance at a lot higher frequencies.

Spire Verticool III CPU Cooler Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Spire Verticool III CPU Cooler

Spire’s Verticool III CPU cooler turned out to be a good cooler. With a smaller foot print than the Zalman 9700 LED, the Verticool III should have no issues fitting in just about any mid tower. With the included fan controller, the Verticool II has the ability to be virtually silent when you need it to be. When it comes to cooling...

USB Powered CD Destroyer from Brando WorkShop
DragonSteelMods posted a review on an USB Powered CD Destroyer from Brando WorkShop

Security is something that we all need to be very aware of these days, and this not only pertains to online security measures but offline as well. There are many things out there that can safeguard our online experiences but not that many that help secure our data that is offline from prying eyes or other types of baddies that are out there. Do you have CDs or DVDs that have valuable information on them that you might be disposing of? Yeah you could break them, smash them or even burn them if you want to but that seems like quite a bit of work... Today for review I've got a little device called the CD Destroyer from our friends at Brando WorkShop, and in five seconds it will destroy any CD or DVD, making it totally unreadable, and unusable to anyone.. So check it out...

Antec Fusion Black 430 Review
DriverHeaven posted a review on the Antec Fusion Black 430 case

In the past we have had the opportunity to review many of Antec's products, including their computer enclosures and power supplies. Generally we have been extremely happy with the performance of these products, and today we will be reviewing one of their latest products from the "Veris" family. The Veris products are mainly products with the home digital market in mind. The Fusion Black 430 is just such a product aimed at the growing HTPC community.

SLI Under The Microscope: Vista vs. XP
HotHardware.com take a look at SLI under Windows Vista and Windows XP

We thought it might be interesting to see what the numbers looked like for the extreme performance junkies in our midst, running dual-graphics SLI setups with high-end DX10 capable GeForce 8800 graphics cards. Is SLI mode on Vista still two steps behind in performance in comparison to XP? In this article we offer a quick-take assessment of NVIDIA's latest ForceWare driver release, running on Windows XP and Windows Vista installations in SLI mode. NVIDIA seems to have closed the gap a bit and we set out to explore this in some of the most exciting and new game engines on the market.

Hiper Anubis ATX Case Review
PC Apex have a new review up of Hipers first attempt in the ATX case market, the stylish Anubis

Ive long been a fan of Hiper Groups products, having used a Hiper Type-R 580w Modular PSU in my main rig for nearly 2 years now, so I was extremely excited when I was asked to review their first offering into the world of ATX cases, and quite a first attempt it is. The Hiper Anubis, named after the Egyptian god of the dead, guardian of the land of the dead and general master chief of the underworld. The image is sinister and mysterious, not unlike the subtle dark and (at first glance) understated features of the Anubis. Hot off the production line, the case is not yet widely available (I have number 1925), so please sit by while I conjure a rather large smug grin before I let you salivate over the highly impressive lines, specifications and features of this case.

The god of Death arrived in tip top condition, delivered by a rough looking delivery guy who for some reason wasn't as excited as me when he lugged the rather cool looking, but chunky, box into my hall way. Luckily nothing had happened in transit from the Netherlands, thanks mainly I suspect to the massive wads of styrene padding enclosing the Anubis in its sarcophagus. Quite a box for a case I think you'll agree, proudly announcing the 100% high quality 3mm thick 6063 T5 alloy construction. Ripping open the padding and setting eyes on the Anubis, it was clear this was something special. No tacky plastic to be seen, just smooth black, and one WHOPPING great big heatsink welded to the top! Even the front bezel, solid alloy and just as striking as the top heatsink.

OCIA.net takes a look at the Vantec NexStar SX SATA & IDE 2.5" External HDD Enclosures in their latest review.

The packaging for each enclosure is nearly identical, with a photo of the drive on the front of the box as well as a few key features. The back of the box goes into further detail of the enclosure. Upon opening the box, we find a screwdriver, a set of screws, driver + installation disc, USB cable and the enclosure itself, tucked away securely in a leather carrying case.

Gigabyte GP-S6500 and GP-S7500 Review
InsideHW.com posted a review on the Gigabyte GP-S6500 and GP-S7500

Although it is not an unfamiliar manufacturer of numerous different computer components at all, Gigabyte's latest entering the market occurs in the field of loudspeakers. Similar to Logitech once, at this moment, Gigabyte probably considers itself sufficiently strong as a brand to afford to show up from nowhere with series of loudspeakers and handle already established crew.

Samsung YP-K5 MP3 Player Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Samsung YP-K5 MP3 Player

Did you know that Apple isn't your only option when it comes to choosing a new MP3 player? Pretty shocking, huh? What's more, many of the offerings from other companies actually boast more features than any iPod on the market, but is this enough to snag some market share from the Cupertino giant? Samsung thinks so and they're making a mild attempt at toppling the Steve Jobs-fueled juggernaut with the Samsung YP-K5 MP3 player.

NVNews posted a review on the Auzentech X-Fi Prelude 7.1 Sound Card

Auzentech pulled it off. They stuck to their roots, making quality sound cards, while integrating the X-Fi chipset from Creative. This card outperformed the X-Meridian in the synthetic test. More importantly for me, the Prelude beat the X-Meridian in the subjective listening tests.

CoolerMaster CM690 Case Review
Ninjalane has posted their review of the new case from CoolerMaster called the CM690.

CoolerMaster has always been one of the leaders in case design and each year they seem to push themselves to come up with even better designs than before. The CM690 is a perfect example of this. The elegant lines and clean design are very pleasing to the eye and black mesh does an excellent job of enhancing the look

Thermaltake Armor Extreme Edition Quad FX Case Review
OCC has published a new review of the Thermaltake Armor Extreme Edition Quad FX Case

Being constructed of 100% aluminum, it's easy to get a whole bunch of fingerprints on it and also has an abundance of working parts. The motherboard tray is non-removable, and covers the whole width and length of the interior case. The external and internal drive bays are also tool-less for easy installation.

Xigmatek XP-S964 Copper Heatpipe 92mm CPU Cooler Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Xigmatek XP-S964 Copper Heatpipe 92mm CPU Cooler

Ideally every CPU cooler should perform well, which most do. But in the age of advertising and marketing, consumers are easily mislead into believing a product will perform well just because of the company branding it. I have reviewed some very nice coolers over the summer by some of the most well known names in the industry; only to be let down by their claims of premium performance. Well, to be honest, prior to very recently I had never heard of Xigmatek before. Just a few weeks ago Benchmark Reviews unveiled the Xigmatek HDT-S1283, which tested to be the best-performing CPU we have seen to date. Perhaps on the same level is the Xigmatek XP-S964 Copper Heatpipe CPU Cooler.

Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 Review
CoolTechZone.com posted Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 Review

Microsoft's latest mobile mouse is an interesting device, to say the least. While it continues to sport an awkwardly tiny size with uncomfortable ergonomics, it's the features that count. At least in this case. And yes, we are making an exception in this review. Who would've thought Microsoft would be an exception in a positive way? Hmm... they must be onto something with its mobile memory mouse 8000 for mobile users on the go.

Zalman VF-1000 LED and ZM-RHS88 VGA Heatsink Review
OCModShop posted Zalman VF-1000 LED and ZM-RHS88 VGA Heatsink Review

Since today's graphics processors are the hottest ever, we are seeing heavier and more robust stock coolers to accompany them. While these stock coolers are much better than the previous generations, they are still only barely adequate to deal with the new level of thermal production. The current GPU king: nVidia's 8800 line of chips, generate some serious heat and need an equally serious cooling method.

Zalman has released two sister products to augment each other when cooling your 8800 video card. Zalman's VF-1000 LED is a pure copper cooler that can be used on nearly any video card made within the past 5 years.
