Its years at the top of the MP3 player market have resulted in a great-looking, mature product that's not only wonderfully easy to pick up and use but is also packed with features and, most importantly, is a great bargain.

HP Pavilion HDX9095EA Entertainment Notebook Review
TrustedReviews have looked at the HP Pavilion HDX9095EA Entertainment Notebook

With its HDX series, HP has taken the desktop replacement concept and raised the bar considerably. As such it's a very attractive machine and though the lack of a Full HD display to match its HD DVD drive may be disappointing, the superlative design and excellent performance more than make up for this failing.

Corsair VX450w Review
Bjorn3D posted a review on the Corsair VX450w

Why is it that in order to get quality from a product you have pay through the nose for it? What ever happened to the days when quality came as a standard and you didn't pay extra to get it? I suppose when you spend close to $700 on a video card there are certain expectations of quality that come with such a purchase but shouldn't the same apply if you're buying a power supply for $80 USD? Well my friends I can tell you that you no longer have to ask why, Corsair has the answer. Bringing the same level of quality they instill in their memory chips Corsair is determined to provide a top notch product at a bargain basement price. So while those of you who may be looking to buy 1300 watts of extreme goodness can expect a high level of quality now that same level can be found in 450 watt versions.

Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi-AP motherboard Review
Viper Lair posted a review on the Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi-AP motherboard

There are plenty of options in the BIOS for overclocking, and the BIOS itself is one of the easiest we have used. It's also without a doubt the easiest overclocking board we've used. Even the most inexperienced overclocker should be able to leave pretty much everything on automatic and start dialling up the FSB and achieve a very high overclock.

Silverstone Nitrogon NT06 CPU Cooler Review
Hardwarecanucks posted a review on the Silverstone Nitrogon NT06 CPU Cooler.

The Silverstone NT06 did manage to provide a slight improvement to cooling temperatures over the Arctic Cooling 7 Pro, and the results of the orientation testing suggest those results would have been better if it had been tested in a tower case. On the other hand, the inclusion of a sub-par thermal compound, the difficult mounting on S775 motherboards, clearance issues, and the Price / Performance ratio leave us wishing there was something more to this cooler.

Scythe Ninja Mini CPU Cooler Review
DragonSteelMods posted a review on the Scythe Ninja Mini CPU Cooler

The Scythe Ninja CPU Cooler is one of the most highly praised and sought after CPU coolers on the market today, some would say it's the best when it comes to cooling and even overclocking. Scythe has introduced a little brother of the Ninja aptly named the Ninja Mini, the basic design is essentially the same except for the fact that it looks like someone either cut it in half or maybe squashed it down to half the size. The Ninja Mini is more aimed at the HTPC market with its smaller size, but it can be used with any system where a smaller sized cooler is needed, or any system at all actually. Can it live up to the hype of its' big brother? I put it through some tests to find out, so continue on to see what I found out about this little guy...

PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 1200W PSU Review
PC Perspective posted a review on PC Power & Cooling's new flagship power supply - the Turbo-Cool 1200W.

The Turbo-Cool 1200W power supply was not designed to be quiet; and its not. The primary design goals were to deliver stable, clean outputs with high reliability for high-end workstations and servers. To accomplish that you need good cooling, which in this case, requires a relatively high-speed fan. If you need a 1200W power supply, you will most likely be dealing with noise from numerous other component cooling solutions dissipating all that power.

OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 2GB 1600MHz Memory Kit Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum Dual Channel Enhanced Bandwidth Edition 2GB memory kit

The 2GB DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600MHz) Platinum Series Kit is one of ten 2GB DDR3 memory kits (by five different memory companies), that I have been able to test in recent weeks. It is also the first 2GB DDR3 memory kit that can hit 2GHz on with full stability at 2000MHz with 8-8-8-24 timings, which has been a mark that I have been trying to reach for some time now.

Patriot 2x1GB PC3-15000 1866MHz DDR3 Memory Review
Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the Patriot 2x1GB PC3-15000 1866MHz DDR3 Memory

Well, I was sitting here one afternoon contemplating what could possibly be any better than an 1800MHz DDR3 memory kit that could help me melt down my E6600 and whichever motherboard to further compliment such a feat. To my surprise, Patriot Memory stepped up to the plate in good form with something better. As if 1800MHz wasn't plenty of speed right now, this team has been busy finalizing and currently offering the Patriot PC3-15000 2GB Kit. If you calculate that out (which can sometimes cause headaches), that's 1866MHz of raw memory frequency. How much memory bandwidth and performance does that offer? Let's find out!

The State of DirectX 10 - Image Quality & Performance
HotHardware.com posted an article on the state of DirectX 10

When DirectX 10 was first introduced to the market by graphics manufacturers and subsequently supported by Windows Vista, it was generally understood that adoption by game developers was going to be more of a slow migration than a quick flip of a switch. That said, nearly a year later, the question is how far have we come?

In this HotHardware article, we showcase many of the most popular DX10-capable games, like Bioshock, World In Conflict, Call of Juarez, Lost Planet, and Company of Heroes, and feature current image quality comparisons versus DX9 modes with each. The article also details the associated performance levels across many of the more popular graphics cards, from both the mid-range and high-end. After digesting all of the data, you be the judge. Are we there yet?

Noctua NC-U6 Chipset Cooler Review
DreamWare Computers posted a review on the Noctua NC-U6 Chipset Cooler

With the bus speeds on motherboards close to twice that what they were just a couple years ago, motherboard chipsets are becoming an increasingly hot component in computer systems. A year ago a small passive heatsink, no thicker than your little finger, was enough to sufficiently cool a chipset. Today, we're seeing copper fins and heatpipe systems that look more elaborate than some rollercoasters. For those looking to upgrade their chipset cooling solutions, perhaps to switch to a passive cooling method instead of active, or just to allow better overclocking, then the Noctua NC-U6 could be a great option to consider.

LG DVD Burner GSA-H62N SATA vs GSA-H50N IDE Review
OCC has published a new review of the LG DVD Burner GSA-H62N SATA vs GSA-H50N IDE

Everything has come a long way since those days. One of those advances is the ATA connector called Serial ATA (SATA). IDE (also referred to as Parallel ATA) had a burstable data rate of 133MB/second, where as the first iteration of SATA had a burst rate of 150MB/second. More recently, SATAII doubled that, coming in at a whopping 300MB/second. With these numbers it should be clear to everyone that SATA blows IDE out of the water, but is that really the case? IDE drives are still being made; are they simply being grandfathered out or are they up to par? Let's find out together by taking a look at a couple of optical drives.

The Samsung CLX-2160N multifunction laser printer may be marketed as the world’s smallest color laser MFP, but don’t let that fool you. It’s a heck of a lot bigger than most desktop printers. At the same time, it’s a heck of a lot more powerful too.

I’m torn with this keyboard. To be honest, during general windows use the board frustrates the living daylights out of me. However I know that this is due to how much I rely on keyboard shortcuts for regular windows operation. But on the other hand this keyboard does more than excel at what it was designed for, gaming.

Thecus N1200 single bay NAS device Review
Elite Bastards posted Thecus N1200 single bay NAS device review

The front of the N1200 is a lesson in simple elegance, with more than a passing nod to the Xbox 360 in its basic design (minus the Red Rings of Death, I hasten to add!). The N1200 is designed to stand vertically, as pictured here, with the front of the unit containing two buttons - One for powering the device on and off, and the other to initiate a copy from the drive housed within the device to an external drive, most likely connected to one of the N1200's USB ports. You can see that one of these USB ports (which will accept both standard external hard drives and flash memory sticks) has sensibly been placed at the front of the unit, with the other housed at the rear of the enclosure. That aside, numerous LEDs make up the rest of the N1200's faceplate, showing the unit's status as well as any activity on the WAN, LAN, hard disk and USB ports.

techPowerUp posted a review on the ECS G31T-M

ECS has released the ECS G31T-M as affordable Core 2 Duo motherboard which supports the latest Quad-Core and 1333 FSB CPUs at an affordable price of less than $75. In our testing we saw that performance is on par with much more expensive high-end motherboards. The integrated Intel VGA is also a nice addition because you don't have to buy a video card for your office machine or can use it to play back video in a Media PC.
