NETGEAR NeoTV - NTV200 Connected Media Streamer Review
MissingRemote posted a review on the NETGEAR NeoTV - NTV200 Connected Media Streamer

f you are in the market for an inexpensive connected media streamer, the number of options has exploded recently. A couple weeks back we took a look at Roku’s XS and today we have the newest member of NETGEAR’s NeoTV lineup - the NTV200. At first glance, the unit’s price ($79.99) and lack of a USB port for local content sets it neatly in the middle of the multitude of players currently available, but breaks from the pack by offering VUDU alongside Netflix and the many other “also ran” applications we have come to expect from this segment.

ASUS Crosshair V Formula 'Bulldozer' Motherboard Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the ASUS Crosshair V Formula 'Bulldozer' Motherboard

The ASUS Crosshair V Formula uses the AMD 990FX/SB950 chipsets and is the first ROG motherboard with AM3+ CPU support. It is also the first AMD motherboard to support both 3-Way NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFireX as well as offering an advanced UEFI BIOS and DIGI+ VRM design. Legit Reviews benchmarked this board with both the AMD FX-8150 'Bulldozer' and the Phenom II X6 1100T 'Thuban' processors to see how both CPU's perform on this enthusiast board.

This particular article, we went a little bit of a different route. We compared the ASUS Crosshair V Formula with the latest AMD FX-8150 'Bulldozer' processor, to itself with an AMD Phenom II X6 1100T. We wanted to see if there was much of a difference in performance between the two core architectures on the AMD 990FX chipset. The article inadvertently felt more like a shoot out between the two processors, when the focus was meant to be on the ASUS Crosshair V Formula. The performance between the two systems was entirely too similar for my tastes. The AMD FX-8150 didn't run the circles around the Phenom II X6 1100T that I had hoped it would...

Hardware Secrets posted Bitfenix Merc Alpha Case Review

However, after seeing the Bitfenix Merc Alpha, which costs only USD 40, you may change your opinion. Let's see why.

The first PSU line that NZXT released is HALE90 which consists of five members.

Foxconn A75M FM1 Motherboard Review
Madshrimps posted a review on the Foxconn A75M FM1 Motherboard

For users which are not pretentious, the A75M FM1 motherboard from Foxconn represents a solution to consider, in case we want to get the benefits of the Lynx platform, like the powerful IGP or the quad core APUs. For making this board even more attractive, the Dual Graphics feature should be enabled, along with the ability to be able to modify the memory speed and its timings.

Titan Dual X Holder TTC-SC07TZ(RB) Review
OCC has published a review on the Titan Dual X Holder TTC-SC07TZ(RB)

The fans operated perfectly, the fan holder/frame setup worked fine, and the tool-less nature was nice. But, it would have been desirable to see thumb screws for the expansion slot versus standard Phillips-head screws to finish the idea off. The Dual X Holder has great potential in the right systems. But with a reference Radeon HD 6970 and a powerful blower motor, the performance was just about the same, only having a slight decrease in temperatures while overclocked. The Holder also sagged when installed in the test rig, rather than sitting parallel to the video card.

Seagate GoFlex Upgrade Cables Overview
eTeknix.com posted Seagate GoFlex Upgrade Cables Overview

We recently took a look at the Seagate GoFlex Ultra Portable
Drive which for us came in the latest and greatest USB 3.0 form. However, the whole point of the GoFlex drives is that you can use whichever connection you want, and can, when a new interface is released (like USB 3.0) upgrade the drive. This makes a product very much future proof and is quite frankly a brilliant idea. It also means you can use it with multiple computers using multiple interfaces, and not have to separate drives for each computer.

While this is not a full review, we are going to take a look at the cables that come with the GoFlex range as well as cables that can be purchased separately.

Corsair Carbide 500R Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the Corsair Carbide 500R

Corsair went back to the drawing board and improved that 400R model towards an updated SKU, the 500R.

They added more meshed vents, a new 200 fan was added, a three step fan controller and tweaked the overall design a little as well with removable and relocatable hard drive cages allowing you to even insert a 452mm in length graphics card. But wait Dave .. there's more.
