Thecus N5500 Five-Bay NAS Server Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Thecus N5500 Five-Bay NAS Server

Thecus has been on a roll in 2009 launching one product after another. Some of the new products are just updates of previously released ones like the N7700 SAS and N8800 SAS, while others are redesigned from the ground up. The Thecus N5200 Pro was an amazing product but its time has now come to pass. The successor to the N5200 Pro is the N5500, another 5 SATA bay NAS server."

The N5500 is powered by an Intel Core2Duo processor and 1GB of DDR2 memory. The N5500 as you may have guessed from the model name is a 5 drive NAS server, just like the model it’s replacing. New from Thecus this year is the AJAX software interface that makes setup and configuration changes much easier.

Samsung SyncMaster 2443BWX 24 Inch LCD Monitor Review
Bigbruin.com has published a new review on the Samsung SyncMaster 2443BWX 24 Inch LCD Monitor

The Samsung SyncMaster 2443BWX is just about what I am looking for in a monitor. It combines a large, high resolution screen with respectable specifications, sleek and simple aesthetics, and a good range of motion to make getting comfortable with it rather easy. I also like that it doesn't include items that really just add cost and clutter to a monitor, like USB ports or speakers.

iBuyPower Corei5 System Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the iBuyPower Corei5 System

The Corei5 was just introduced about 2 weeks ago and iBuyPower was gracious enough to send me over a complete system for review. The Corei5 is the new budget CPU and I've put it up against my current system with a C2Q9650 in it that also has double the ram and a better performing video card. Will that make a difference, or is the new architecture of the Corei5 better overall? So I'm looking at this in terms of an upgrade from my own system, or any other C2Q system really, So read on..

Review of NOX IT'X Fantastic Mini-ITX case
TestSeek posted a review of NOX IT'X Fantastic Mini-ITX case

The available standards for smaller PC cases such as the Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX and Mini-DTX standards are nothing new, but lately things have started to happen in this segment. Previously VIA was more or less the only manufacturer for CPUs and motherboards for the ITX standard. However, the last year or so, we have seen new low powered (but powerful) CPUs coming out from Intel and new powerful integrated graphics chips from NVIDIA have also been released.

Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P AMD 790FX Socket AM3 Motherboard Review
PC Stats posted a review on the Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P AMD 790FX Socket AM3 Motherboard

Gigabyte's GA-MA790FXT-UD5P motherboard is based on the AMD 790FX and SB750 chipsets and offers up much in the way of dual videocard gaming and generally fast socket AM3 AMD processor support. At its heart is AMDs 790FX chipset which supports HyperTransport 3.0 at 5200 MT/S. The Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P supports DDR3 memory at speeds of up to 1066/1333MHz, and 1666 MHz when overclocked.

Asrock M3A785GMH/128M Motherboard Review
Rbmods posted a review on the Asrock M3A785GMH/128M Motherboard

Asrock is one of our new sponsors! They are well known for their motherboards that have always been a bit cheaper than the rest, but does this mean they don't perform well? Personally I don't think so but today we are going to look at the M3a785gmx motherboard and compare it vs a well performing Asus board. I think we will be able to see what type of performance we can expect from this Asrock board.

Thermaltake Toughpower 800 W (W0296RU) Power Supply Review
Hardware Secrets takes a look at the new 800 W model from Thermaltake Toughpower series

Toughpower power supply series is around for a while now and Thermaltake has just added two new models to this series: 700 W (W0295RU) and 800 W (W0296RU). These two models are 80Plus Silver certified, promising an efficiency of at least 88% at typical load (i.e. 50% load), using an internal project totally different from other power supplies from the same series. In fact, these two models are manufactured by a different company, FSP, while other Toughpower models are manufactured by CWT. This is the first 800 W power supply from Thermaltake, but you have to pay attention because they now have two 700 W models on the same series, with the "old" model (W0105RU) presenting lower efficiency than the new one (W0295RU).

Some fan controllers support only 3 pin or only 4 pin connectors, but the Sentry 2 supports both! Read on further to see what else it has in store.
