Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 1GB Vapor-X Video Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 1GB Vapor-X Video Card

The main focus of the Vapor-X series is cooling. With that said, though, it doesn't mean Sapphire can't have a bit of fun with the clock speeds. What we’ll do before we have a closer look at those clocks is check out what's going on in the bundle. After that we'll then take a closer look at the card and see the new cooler that Sapphire is giving us.

If all that wasn't exciting enough, the HD 5870 Vapor-X from Sapphire is the first card that's going to be taken for a spin on our new benchmark setup. While the hardware hasn't changed due to the simple fact it's still some of the best on the market, we have moved to the new DirectX 11 enabled Windows 7 and also added a whole slew of new benchmarks including some new synthetic ones and real world games.

In Win AMMO 2.5 inch RFID Enclosure Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the In Win AMMO 2.5 inch RFID Enclosure

The In Win AMMO continues on the army based theme we have come to love with the Commander PSUs. The enclosure combines a sturdy shell with a soft interior and the added security of AES 128 bit encryption. We take a real close look an run it trough our barrage of tests to see if it comes out on top after the battle.

ASUS P7P55D Deluxe (P55 Express) Motherboard Review
TweakTown takes a look at the ASUS P7P55D Deluxe (P55 Express) Motherboard

ASUS has always been at the forefront when it comes to new technologies. Lynnfield is no exception. At Computex we were lucky enough to see just how well this new technology would work and from there the birth of the new Lynnfield processor and P55 chipset has already caused a stir in the hardware community.

On show for you today we have the P7P55D Deluxe board aimed at the mainstream segment. Hitting the shelves at $219.99 USD over at Newegg, Nehalem architecture now becomes more affordable and with plenty of style to boot.

OCZ Agility EX 60GB SSD Review
Phoronix takes a look at the OCZ Agility EX 60GB SSD running under Linux

Back in August we reviewed the OCZ Agility SATA 2.0 SSD, which we found to be a reputable solid-state drive that offered nice performance under Linux. However, a step up from the Agility series is the Agility EX line. The OCZ Agility EX is designed to offer maximum performance with its SLC NAND-based storage and Indilinx controller. How though does the performance of this $400 SSD for just 60GB of storage compare to their other MLC-based SSDs under Linux? We have the benchmarks.

Asus G51J Core i7 Mobile Gaming Notebook Review
HotHardware posted a review on the Asus G51J Core i7 Mobile Gaming Notebook

Windows 7 is upon us, and with the launch of Microsoft's self-proclaimed "best operating system" comes a slew of new desktop machines, notebooks, and netbooks looking to take advantage of its added stability and features.

One of the companies that is looking to serve up a number of new Win7-based rigs is Asus, and without a doubt they have assembled an interesting and compelling offering in their G51J-A1 notebook. Hitting the sweet spot between the average-sized 15" machine and the full-on desktop replacement, the refreshed G51 maintains the 15" form factor yet packs enough horsepower, with it's Core i7 mobile CPU and GeForce GTX 260M GPU under the hood, to plow through even the latest game titles.

RunCore 64GB Pro IV 70mm PCI-e SATA Solid State Drive SSD Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the RunCore 64GB Pro IV 70mm PCI-e SATA Solid State Drive

The Asus EeePC 900a is a great little netbook with one big flaw, it comes with a tiny little 4gb SSD drive that is very slow. Actually there's two flaws, the second would be how Asus handled the updates of the operating system, they're automatic and they fill that tiny SSD to the point where the system slows to a crawl. The OS that is on the SSD is ok for just messing around, but let's face it, most everything is Windows and to be any kind of productive with the EeePC you'll need to install Windows on it. This isn't a Linux vs Windows or even vs Mac rant, so I don't want to hear about it, this is a review of the Runcore 64gb SSD for the EeePC 900a that will turn that little netbook into not only a speed demon, but something that can be a more productive machine.

So, with that said, today we have a review on Coolink's new SWiF2 series case fans.

Sapphire HD 5870 Vapor-X Review
Neoseeker reviewed the new Sapphire HD 5870 Vapor-X

...if you are considering HD 5870's, then Sapphire's HD 5870 is perhaps the best looking option available right now. While the factory overclock is pretty insignificant, the Vapor-X cooler is certainly worth the small price premium (+$10 USD seems the norm). The HD 5870 Vapor-X also comes with a good bundle, featuring two full games.

Thermaltake Toughpower Ultra Slim 65W Univeral Laptop AC Adapter Review
OCC has published a review on the Thermaltake Toughpower Ultra Slim 65W Univeral Laptop AC Adapter

I must say that the Thermaltake Toughpower Ultra Slim 65W Universal Laptop AC Adapter has really made my life a whole lot easier. The ability to carry one adapter to power a number of my devices makes traveling less tedious than before. Now, I can charge one device while using another on battery power without having to lug with me several AC cords to power each one. I cannot tell you how many times I went out on business and forgot the adapter for my netbook or laptop and had no way of charging it or, even worse, having to beg someone to borrow theirs.

Crucial M225 256GB Solid State Drive Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Crucial M225 256GB Solid State Drive

When it comes to Solid State Drives (SSDs), it seems like many of the offerings available are from companies known for memory, not storage. This is because unlike traditional hard drives SSDs have no moving parts and use NAND memory chips. So you would expect a company like Crucial to have a line of SSD drives, and they do! Actually our first SSD review here at ThinkComputers was a Crucial Drive. Today we will be looking at the 256GB M225 Solid State drive that is based off the ever popular Indilinx Barefoot controller. Lets take a look

Today's candidate is a high-end board for the mainstream market from the good people at GIGABYTE. The P55-UD6 is one of the latest boards to run on the P55 single chip solution from Intel.

Aimed for a more high-end market in the mainstream, this board comes in at just under $250USD over at Newegg which isn’t a great deal more than the ASUS offering. Will it match up in performance and features? We shall endeavour to answer this question.

H1-Touch Mobile Holder Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the H1-Touch Mobile Holder

All it takes is one idea to make millions. That is the first thing that came to mind when I opened the package from Luxa2 containing today's review item, the H1-Touch Mobile Holder. True to it's name, this product does one thing and one thing only: holds your mobile device. Developed by Luxa2 (a division of Thermaltake), the H1-Touch was designed with Apple's iPhone / iPod Touch in mind but seemingly could be used to hold most any handset. Priced at $50 at a popular online reseller, one has to question whether the H1-Touch offers any tangible benefits or if it's simply an overpriced novelty item.

SilverStone Raven RV02 Review
PureOverclock has published a review on the SilverStone Raven RV02

One of SilverStone's newer chassis is the Raven 2 which is derived from the original Raven case. The Raven 2 is smaller in stature compared to the original but still packs an aesthetically pleasing punch. Visually stunning, the simple lines of the Raven 2 give a very high quality impression generally not matched from more common names we see attached to a chassis. It is like comparing a Chevy to a Bugatti. Sure the Chevy gets you around the block, but the Bugatti gets you there in so many more ways.
