PC Power & Cooling 750 Watt Quad Silencer Power Supply Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at PC Power & Cooling 750 Watt Quad Silencer Power Supply.

PC Power & Cooling has long held an almost single-minded devotion to quality first, with standards, aesthetics, and industry trends all regulated to the rather crowded back seat. That isn’t to say they don’t meet standards, PC P&C has typically exceeded whatever standards currently exist at the time. Their refusal to meet Intel’s ATX 12V power supply specifications which call for the breaking up of the +12v rail into individual 20A limited rails is perhaps the most notable--and perhaps one of the biggest features--of the PC Power & Cooling Quad Silencer 750W.

More recent was the news that PC Power & Cooling, a long time privately owned company, was purchased by OCZ. OCZ is perhaps best known for their memory products although they have been offering their own lines of power supplies, aftermarket coolers and even recently NVIDIA graphics cards. Realizing the high value placed on anything with the PC Power & Cooling name OCZ has stated they have no plans to change either PC P&C’s name or current product offering. As news of the acquisition spread across the internet OCZ was also extremely quick to go on record dispelling notions that OCZ would start cutting corners in current models to lower production costs or change PC Power & Cooling’s commitment to quality first. We of course look foreward to seeing what PC P&C has planned for the future now that they have the strong presence and backing of OCZ

Altec Lansing PT8051 Wireless Theater System Review
I4U NEWS reviews the Altec Lansing PT8051 Wireless Theater System.

Setting the system up was the easiest home theater sound system install I ever did. I connected the digital optical out from my PS3 to the rear of the Altec Lansing PT8051 Wireless Theater System and installation was done . You don't have to run one single wire with this system, though you do have to plug the front and rear speakers into an AC outlet.

ZEROtherm Nirvana NV 120 Cpu Cooler Review
OCC has published a new review of the ZEROtherm Nirvana NV 120 Cpu Cooler

The motherboard chosen to test the heatsink on is the DFI 680I LT. This motherboard comes equipped with a Northbridge heatsink that is fairly large. Thus, mounting the Nirvana with the fan facing downward is impossible without modifying either, so the heatsink will be facing up along with the comparison heatsink, which will be the Tunic Tower.

OCZ ProXStream 1000 W Power Supply Review
Hardware Secrets posted a review on the OCZ ProXStream 1000 W Power Supply

With systems with multiple video cards requiring more power everyday, 1,000 W power supplies are becoming very common. OCZ has released a new 1,000 W product in the market, ProXStream 1000 W, targeted to power-hungry consumers that are willing to put three or four high-end video cards (this unit has four six-pin VGA power connectors) and several hard disk drives inside their systems. What is really different about this power supply compared to other 1,000-watt units around is it uses a small form factor, being at the same size of any standard ATX power supply, due to its interesting internal design using two printed circuit boards stacked. We completely disassembled this new unit from OCZ to see how it looks like inside and what design and components were used.

MSI RX2600XT Diamond OC Edition Review
Viper Lair posted a review on the MSI RX2600XT Diamond OC Edition video card

The MSI RX2600XT Diamond OC Edition already comes OC'd out of the box, 850/1150Mhz for the core and memory respectively. Neither RivaTuner or Powerstrip allowed us to make any OCs that had a visible impact on performance. ATI Overdrive allowed a 6Mhz OC on the core and 21MHz on the memory.

SilverStone Kublai KL01 Mid-Tower Review
Techgage posted a review of SilverStone's latest chassis, the KL01.

SilverStone has been producing amazing cases for a while, but for some, their best offerings are pricey. That's where the Kublai series comes into play. Built on the essence of the higher-end models, they attempt to pack quite a punch with their Kublai, all at an affordable price. Have they succeeded?

Sumo Omni Bean Bag Chair Review
CoolTechZone.com posted a review on the Sumo Omni Bean Bag Chair

Surprised? So are we. We don't generally take a look at tech-oriented furniture, but let's make an exception. We could go on and on about the benefits of having comfortable furniture, but there's no point. You know that already. When you are working with a notebook in your lap or just want to relax, having a comfortable chair to sit on can make a world of difference. Sumo is reinforcing that concept with a bean bag chair, appropriately named Omni.

D-Link ANT24-0230 Xtreme N 2.4GHz Antenna Review
Futurelooks posted a review on the D-Link ANT24-0230 Xtreme N 2.4GHz Antenna

The D-Link ANT24-0230 is an external antenna that replaces the stubbies that come stock with your DIR-655 (or DIR-660 & DIR-625) router. It is also compatible with the DWA-552, DWA-556 & DWA-542 desktop adapters. The ANT24-0230 allows you to extend your antenna away from the router or desktop adapter, providing you with more flexible placement options. This should, in theory, allow you to get better signal quality by
allowing you to pick a better spot for your antennas.

Synology CS407 four bay NAS device review
Elite Bastards posted Synology CS407 four bay NAS device review

The subject of today's review is at the opposite end of the scale to our previous Thecus N1200 piece, as we take in a four bay NAS device courtesy of Synology, the CS407. While both the functionality and price of this unit arguably aims it more towards small businesses looking for reliable and safe mass storage for their company, it also has plenty to offer the enthusiast or home user with the need to store large amounts of data while also ensuring its safety from loss in the event of a drive failure. Indeed, the inspiration for our recent branching out to examine Network Attached Storage devices was down to the need for both increased capacity and protection against data loss while working on articles for this very site, making the hunt for a stable and well-featured NAS device a somewhat more personal quest. Can Synology's CS407 fit the bill?

Corsair TX750W Power Supply Review
PC Perspective posted a review on the Corsair TX750W Power Supply

Overall, most of the higher-capacity Channel Well Technology built power supplies have proven to be excellent but they have a weakness, which is higher levels of AC ripple on the +12V output. While still well within spec, the TX750W exhibits a little more AC ripple on the +12V rail than we would like to see, especially at higher loads. Bottom line; you get what you pay for and some trade-offs have to be made when balancing price and performance.
