Ultra X3 Modular PSU Review
Bjorn3D posted a review on the Ultra X3 Modular PSU

With the recent onslaught of 1000-watt and higher power supplies from various manufacturers, it is nice to see that many still take the time to cater to the PC enthusiasts that demand quality power, maybe just not so much of it. Sure, a 1000+ watt power supply may power just about anything a power-user can throw at it, many times this amount of power is just plain over-kill. If you aren't running top-of-the-line video cards in a linked configuration, quad-core processors and terabytes of hard drive space, a power supply of 600-watt proportions may be more up your alley. If that is the case, then the 600-watt version from the Ultra Products X3 line may be just what you are looking for.

Today HardwareLogic takes a look at a unique product from Thermalright: The HR-11 VGA Backside Cooler. Wait, backside VGA cooler you say?? Exactly! While we spent the better part of an evening trying to understand the value of the HR-11, we came away with an idea, even if
we weren't overwhelmed by its performance.

Antec Truepower Quattro 850W versus Silverstone Decathlon 850W PSU Review
Hardwarecanucks have a review of the Antec Truepower Quattro 850W versus the Silverstone Decathlon 850W power supply.

Simply put, I am extremely pleased by both of these power supplies since they performed admirably in our every single one of our performance tests. Antec and Silverstone have a lot to be proud of since they have produced some of the highest quality power supplies I have seen in a long time. Yet, particular credit needs to go to the team over at Antec whose Quattro 850W stole our hearts with its bold styling while besting the more expensive Silverstone in nearly all of the tests (although it was an extremely narrow win in the voltage regulation category).

USB Portable Paper Shredder from USBGeek
DragonSteelMods posted a review on the USB Portable Paper Shredder from USBGeek

Our friends at USBGeek have sent over a USB Portable Paper Shredder that is obviously portable but works great, and it can be powered via USB or with standard 'AA' batteries. It's great for shredding that unwanted junk mail, and of course that stray private document that you might not want anyone else seeing...

Corsair and SuperTalent DDR3 Review
Bit-Tech published a review of Corsair and SuperTalent DDR3

We've seen some Kingston and OCZ DDR3 before, but what if we want something even /faster/? Way outside the stratosphere of the official JEDEC rating of 1,600MHz, we have Corsair making Dominator modules at 1,800MHz and some Super Talent at 1,866MHz. That's over /one Gigahertz/ faster than current DDR2 800MHz.

There is absolutely no doubt that these are blazing fast DIMMs using cutting edge technology - 1,800MHz equates to PC3-14400, while 1,866MHz is PC3-14900. However, the speed does come with a price and it's not even worth considering these absolutely premium modules unless you're the type of person who will buy the latest and fastest kit as soon as it arrives, regardless of cost. It does provide some future-proofing to a certain extent, because 1,800+MHz will still be faster than any motherboard can officially handle for quite a while yet - even the X48 chipset due out in January will only increase the official memory capability to 1,600MHz.

Sapphire HD2400XT and HD2600XT Graphics Cards Review
Virtual-Hideout posted Sapphire HD2400XT and HD2600XT Graphics Cards Review

Whether you want a sub $100 budget card or a sub $200 mid-range card, either one of these will be a good choice. Both cards performed well and with the new PCMark Vantage benchmark tests, you can see the Frames Per Second in the gaming GPU test. The XD2600XT doubled the FPS over the XD2400XT in gaming, but in the video playback and transcoding, results are almost identical. Each card comes with a DVI to HDMI adapter and this makes either card ideal for a home entertainment setup.
