TechwareLabs reviews the Sparkle Geforce GTS450 OC 1024MB Video Card

The Sparkle GTS450 comes packed with 1GB of RAM and Sparkle has gone ahead and overclocked this card for that little extra kick. If you are looking to upgrade your machine and not break the bank, the Sparkle GTS450 might be for you.

Last week we reviewed the Atom powered ASRock ION3D which we felt offered a cost effective solution for media computing demands. Today we are looking at a similarly compact, higher specification system from Dell, featuring an AMD Phenom processor with HD5450 mobility graphics.

GeIL Black Dragon Dual Channel 4GB DDR3 Kit Review
Vortez.co.uk posted GeIL Black Dragon Dual Channel 4GB DDR3 Kit Review

Today I will be taking a look at a kit found under the DDR3 gaming section named Black Dragon. The Black Dragon series was a keen favourite whilst under the DDR2 paradigm. The Black Dragon series is available in dual, quad, triple and hexa channel and within these bands there are frequencies 1066MHz right through to 2200MHz and a range of CAS timings - 7, 8 and 9. So plenty of options there. I will be taking a look at the PC3-12800 1600MHz CAS9 Dual Channel Kit.

FOXCONN NT-330I Netbox Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the FOXCONN NT-330I Netbox

There are a lot of Atom+ION Nettops, but the Foxconn Netbox is not only extremely compact, but it also offers some customizability along with a very affordable price tag and the choice of black or white colors. We fill it with the required parts and wrangle it through our test bench to see how it holds up.

Patriot Xporter XT Rage 32GB Flash Drive Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Patriot Xporter XT Rage 32GB Flash Drive

The USB flash drive has not really changed much. We have seen all types of flash drives over the past few year, ones that are practically indestructible and other that are waterproof, but the technology in the drive itself really has not changed. Patriot has decided to change this with the Xporter XT Rage line of USB flash drives. These drives feature a Quad Channel configuration, data is intelligently managed and transferred simultaneously to 4 NAND chips resulting in vastly enhanced performance, particularly write speeds: Rage improves on traditional USB 2.0 Flash Drives to offer up to 27MB/s read and 25MB/s write transfer speeds. Let’s take a look…

PowerColor Radeon HD 5770 v2 Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the PowerColor Radeon HD 5770 v2

A little over a year after the initial introduction of the Radeon HD 5770, PowerColor is still tweaking their take on what was then a revolutionary card for the mid-range price segment. Benchmark Reviews has the PowerColor AX5770 1GBD5-PPG v2 and has tested it's performance against the mid-range offering from NVIDIA, the GeForce GTS 450. The PowerColor Radeon HD 5770 is a PCS+ video card. These are video cards that PowerColor has factory overclocked to improve performance. With a clock speed of 875MHz and memory overclocked to 1225MHz, the PowerColor Radeon HD 5770 PPG is ready to game, and the 2nd-edition version we've received comes packaged with a coupon for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Follow along as Benchmark Reviews disassembles and tests the PowerColor Radeon HD 5770 PPG video card.

Asus Xonar Xense Premium Gaming Audio Set Review
OCC has published a review on the Asus Xonar Xense Premium Gaming Audio Set

I had an idea that the sound card would do well, given the similarity in design to the Essence STX, but I really wasn't expecting the headset to sound this good. I've heard the regular PC 350 headset at the Sennheiser booth at CES (Consumer Electronics Show), and I wasn't overly impressed. No doubt the headphone amplification and well-implemented graphic EQ of the Xonar Xense contribute to transforming the PC 350 from a decent headset into the best sounding headset I've ever heard. For the audiophiles out there, you can even change the headphone amplifier's op-amps, to tailor the sonic signature to your particular taste.

Arctic Sound P311 Bluetooth Headphones Review
Viperlair posted a review on the Arctic Sound P311 Bluetooth Headphones

Sound reproduction is pretty good. Highs are OK, not too high which can lead to hissy trebles, although I do think the upper range is little missing at times. The bass also goes down lower than I expected but of course, considering the cone size, we are not talking sub bass thumping down your ear canal here. Unlike the highs, the lows do seem to reach all the way down. If the headphones are incapable of reproducing the sub bass at a particularly low level, they don't distort or lower the volume or any other equally as distracting issue found on some headphones. The mid's playback quite nicely indeed with no obvious gaps.

AZZA Hurrican 2000 Review
PureOverclock posted a review of the AZZA Hurrican 2000 case

With cooling designed specifically for today's hot graphic cards, the AZZA Hurrican 2000 has some massive airflow with the help of four gigantic 230mm fans and four 120mm fans. Sounds promising. So the question is: has AZZA found the answer to compete with other high airflow cases on the market? Let's find out.

In Win Android Computer Case Review
Tweaknews posted a review on the In Win Android Computer Case

In Win's Android chassis has a very distinctive look that, while keeping with the robot theme, I find a little odd looking. The front panel treatment, with its removable covers, give the case an armored look, but with a big chink in it.

ASRock Core 100HT-BD HTPC Review
Hardware Secrets takes a look at the ASRock Core 100HT-BD HTPC

Thinking on buying a Blu-Ray player? Maybe you will be making a better deal buying the ASRock Core 100HT-BD, a tiny complete computer with a Blu-Ray player, being smaller than a commercial player and you get a full working computer for your living room. Let's see if this idea makes sense.
