The New Jawbone aka Jawbone 2 Reviewed
DragonSteelMods posted a review on the Jawbone 2

The reputation of the Jawbone is one of superior sound quality and stylishness. Aliph took the original version and slimmed it down while keeping many of the features of the original. It still includes the military grade noise reduction technology known as NoiseAssassin. Plus, it keeps its minimalistic stylish appearance, which looks more like some fashion item for your ear than a blinking blue LED lit piece of plastic.

Hardwareoverclock Austria has posted a review on the NesteQ E B2CS ECS 5001 PSU with 500 watt in German

This psu has a lot of features, one of them is the Easy Connecting System. Extended cable parts and HDD/FDD-connectors can be jointed up to the desired length and the required facility. A user can join the cables up to the length as desired, and find the right connector for himself from the cable options.

Also the high efficiency of 86% is a major plus point.

Seagate FreeAgent XTreme 1TB Review
Bit-Tech published a review of Seagate's FreeAgent XTreme 1TB external hard drive

We've been thoroughly impressed with the FreeAgent XTreme 1TB during our time with it. The exterior styling has been dramatically improved over the previous incarnations of the FreeAgent, and the new white backlit design looks fantastic and understated - exactly what you want from an external desktop drive. The connectivity options of the drive are equally impressive, with the combination of eSATA, USB 2.0 and Firewire 400 making it one of the most well equipped external hard disk drives on the market right now.

Performance wise, it again impressed us with its blisteringly fast eSATA file transfer rates and solid USB 2.0 and Firewire 400 performance too. Even the included software performed the feat of being both falling-off-a-log simple to use and actually useful, we would have preferred more security options like the ability to password protect the entire disk.

However, this is still an excellent external drive, and while more expensive than lower spec rivals compared to others with eSATA it can be found a little cheaper depending where you shop. If you simply need some extra hard drive space, we'd still point you towards an OEM internal hard disk, where the cost per GB is significantly lower, but if you need the flexibility of an external hard disk drive and the performance of an internal drive, the FreeAgent XTreme 1TB delivers. We just wish Seagate had thrown in that eSATA cable!
