Rexus PST-3 Digital Power Supply Tester
Legit Reviews takes a look at the Rexus PST-3 Digital Power Supply Tester

The Rexus Power Supply Tester is constructed of sturdy aluminum and allows you to check to see if a power supply is working properly in seconds. An easy to read LCD display on top of the tester shows you the detailed voltage information on each of the voltage rails, and the Power Good (PG) value in milliseconds. Not bad for something that costs ~$20 at numerous retailers.

Logitech Wave Pro Desktop Review
ASE Labs posted a review on the Logitech Wave Pro Desktop

While Logitech is a company that graces ASE Labs' test bench often, it is not often that we get to see a highly targeted type of keyboard combo. The Logitech Wave Pro Desktop is targeted to the consumer market, unlike their G series products. Don't let that fool you. This combo has some good (and not so good) features that set it apart from its gaming brethren.

Nova Raider 6000dpi Mouse Pad Review
OCModShop posted Nova Raider 6000dpi Mousepad Review

I hate mousepads. They slide all over the place, they stain, and they start to smell funny after a couple of keg parties. Mine usually sits on the opposite side of my keyboard, with a drink on top of it so I don't ruin the finish on my desk. Frankly, I never even saw the point of them after the advent of the optical mouse. Back in the days of the trackball I understood it, you couldn't get those damned things to work on any other surface.

In reality, before the world of hardcore computer gaming came along there really was no need for the mousepad for the optical mouse. Nearly any surface would do the job. But as mice got better, and their DPI resolution improved well into the thousands, your standard desktop surface just didn't do the trick anymore. So people like Nova came along and decided to make sure you were getting the most out of your $75 mouse.

Callpod Dragon V2 Headset Review
Hardware Secrets posted a review on the Callpod Dragon V2 Headset

Every time we look at Bluetooth headsets, they seem to be getting smaller and smaller. So when the Callpod's Dragon V2 headset arrived for our review, we were amazed that this headset was actually larger than most. We found that it also has some unique features such as Bluetooth Class 1 certification, the ability to hook up to other Dragon V2's to be used as walkie-talkies, and the ability to pair with more than one device at a time. These exciting features made us anxious to take a closer look.

Far Cry 2 Performance Evaluation
OCC has published a Far Cry 2 Performance Evaluation

There you have it - a quick performance test to show how some of the latest from Nvidia and ATI fare in the supplied benchmark included with Far Cry 2. When set to the maximum settings, this game puts a serious burden on the video card. Of course, the more stout the video card, the more performance you will see in-game. Just watching the benchmark run through its paces, you can see more and more each time it is run. The first time you see the concussive force of an explosion blow through a tree - it makes you sit up and start looking at the small things going on during the benchmark run. Realistic flames that move with the wind, leaves blown off a tree from an explosion, the chicken that get blown clear across the compound as well as barrels that show real damage instead of just flying through the air looking as new as the frame before. All the little things combine to give that 'wow' effect. I cant wait to dig a little deeper into the real game play to see if the benchmark performance does match up with the gameplay.

AMCC 3ware 9690SA-81 RAID Controller reviewed
ITreviewed posted a review on the AMCC 3ware 9690SA-81 RAID Controller

SAS is the preferred interface for the direct-attach server space, SCSI's former mainstay. SAS is for mission critical applications that require higher levels of availability and native expansion. SAS is optimised for the random performance requirements of the data centre. The 9690SA's advanced RAID features, SAS connectivity, and powerful 3ware performance architecture make it the ideal SCSI controller replacement for data centre and Web server usage. It's everything you ask for from a controller: quick, consistent and reliable. As an added bonus you get more cache compared to competing models from LSI Logic and Adaptec.

Sunbeamtech Acrylic HTPC Case Review
Hardware Secrets posted Sunbeamtech Acrylic HTPC Case Review

Many people like the idea of having a completely transparent case and with the popularization of HTPCs – computers built to be connected to your home theater system for playing movies and songs – Sunbeamtech released an HTPC acrylic case. Since heat is one of the main concerns when building a PC inside an acrylic case (since acrylic can't dissipate heat, contrary to what happens with steel or aluminum solutions) Sunbeam's acrylic HTPC case features four 80-mm fans. Let's take an in-depth look on this case and see if lives up to our expectations.

Norco Technologies DS-1000 Storage System Review
Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the Norco Technologies DS-1000 Storage System

Ultimately, the DS-1000 is a serious Storage System designed to replace the need for packing more than six hard drives in to a computer server case. IT pros generally need the hot swap function since they are often replacing or upgrading drives. I would at least give Norco Technologies serious consideration in terms of the base unit. Who says you can't appreciate the unit and not use your own controllers?

Rbmods posted a review on the Asus U6V Laptop

Asus are well known for their high quality products which range all the way from coolers to laptops. This is the first time we are going to test a laptop from Asus and we got their last super portable U6V model which has a smaller screen to make it more portable but it still seems to have fast parts inside. At a price around 1500$ this thing better perform well so lets take a closer look.

Powercolor HD4670 PCS Review
OCC has published a new review on the Powercolor HD4670 PCS

While trying to overclock the HD4670 I was pretty much stifled at each turn. Even moving up 20MHz would cause a driver crash and require a reboot. Trying to scale the memory upwards was almost as bad. The initial driver was the source of some of the issue. Upgrading to the 8.10 Catalyst suite allowed the card to post a 10MHz gain on the core and and 35MHz on the GDDR3 memory. Temperature was not an issue at all during the overclocking of the card. Those in fact, stayed a respectable 59 degrees Celsius maximum. Since this card gets all of its power through the PCIe slot, it's not a barn burner by any means. On a percentage basis, this represent gains on the core of less than 2% and 3.5% on the memory. Numbers that would truly not show an increase under the benchmarking suite, so this card was not run overclocked.

Crucial 32GB 2.5" Solid State Disk Drive Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Crucial 32GB 2.5" Solid State Disk Drive

It doesn’t matter if you are a home user, network administrator or enthusiast; when you think of memory, Crucial always comes to mind. As you are well aware by now, memory makers are using their expertise and producing storage drives based on non-volatile flash memory. This category is divided into two types, SLC and MLC. The Crucial CT32GBFAB0 we are looking at today uses SLC memory which is considered to be the fastest of the two memory types.

The CT32GBFAB0 is Crucial’s first SSD offering and it is important to remember that many other companies have already released three and four different SSDs. I have always found Crucial to be a company that takes their time when releasing their products and unlike some of the others would not start to sell a drive and revamp it a month later. Crucial is just more careful about the products they release.

Thermaltake have sent us some of their aftermarket RamOrb RAM coolers, but the package that we were sent for this review was rather unusual, in being that Thermaltake have partnered with GSkill and the RamOrbs came installed complete with 2GB DDR3 at 1800Mhz of GSkill memory (which was a very nice realisation when it was discovered).
