Scythe Kama Connect 2 Adapter Review
NGOHQ.com posted Scythe Kama Connect 2 Adapter Review

So what exactly is this product? The Kama Connect 2 is an IDE and SATA to USB adapter - It is not a USB enclosure. The entire idea is to allow users to connect their IDE or SATA devices (Desktop HDDs, Laptop HDDs, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, etc) to the computer externally via the USB port, virtually eliminating the need of opening the case. These of you who had the chance to work as technicians can only imagine how useful this kind of product can be especially with Norton Ghost around.

Swiftech Apogee Ultimate Liquid Cooling Kit Review
Motherboards.org posted a review on the Swiftech Apogee Ultimate Liquid Cooling Kit

If you want a liquid cooling system that is functional, flexible and able to be customized to whatever your needs may be, Swiftech is your kind of company. This system uses a self-powered Apogee drive water-block combined with a triple radiator, three fans and dual Stealth VGA coolers. This was done in order to make one bad ass liquid cooled super system based on NVIDIA's SLI platform. As you can see from the results we were able to overclock our 3.0GHz QuadCore X6850 to 4.0GHz without any warranty voiding mods or outlandish voltage increases.

Microsoft SideWinder Mouse Review
Metku posted a review on Microsoft's SideWinder Gaming Mouse.

These days there are tons of gaming related devices available. For the most parts, these products can be dismissed as marketing tricks. These devices have nothing to do with gaming or they have a name of some famous gamer slapped on to them at best. This makes it hard for a gamer to decide what product is worth its asking price, as gaming related items tend to be more expensive than similar products without this labeling.

Enermax Galaxy EGX850EWL 850W Modular Power Supply Review
PC Stats posted Enermax Galaxy EGX850EWL 850W Modular Power Supply Review

What does a modern quad core processor with dual videocards and a lot of hard drives add up to? A killer gaming PC, and a huge headache for the power supply! The Enermax EGX850EWL-DXX weighs in at 850W, supporting the PCI Express 2.0 power connector for super duper performance videocards, and has an all-modular cable set up.

ABS Tagan ITZ Series 1300W Power Supply Review
PC Perspective posted a review on the ABS Tagan ITZ Series 1300W Power Supply

However, the high AC ripple on all of the DC outputs leads me to believe this platform is being pushed way too hard to obtain its 1,300W bragging rights. Having the AC ripple running high out of spec on nearly all of the DC outputs at high loads is unacceptable for a PSU that claims to be “guaranteed to outlast and outperform any other PSU in the market”. And lets not forget Tagan’s 3-year parts, 1-year labor warranty; pretty lame IMHO.

Rosewill RDF-670B 7" Widescreen Digital Photo Frame Review
Bigbruin.com has posted a review on the Rosewill RDF-670B 7" Widescreen Digital Photo Frame

One type of product that has been around for a while, but has recently gained in appeal due to lower prices, is the digital photo frame. This gadget puts a high tech spin on an extremely low tech idea by replacing that one static photo with an LCD panel that allows the owner to display a slide show of their favorite images. This review is going to take a look at the Rosewill RDF-670B, a 7" inch widescreen frame that features a wood grain frame with black matting.

PNY GeForce 8600GT 512MB Review
OCC has published a new review of the PNY GeForce 8600GT 512MB

So what can we conclude about the PNY 8600GT 512MB Overclocked video card? It clearly showed that it's a mainstream card that was run-of-the-mill. It did do marginally better than the Gigabyte 8600GT, but it wasn't quite as good as the XFX 8600GT Fatal1ty. I was happy to see that the card didn't buckle at high resolutions because I usually play my games at 1680x1050. The PNY 8600GT was easy to install and setup, so that was a plus. The card supports the new DirectX 10 technology and in addition, plays graphically challenging games such as BioShock at playable frame rates.

Xilence Xilent Blade Pro - silent cpu cooler Review
XtremeComputing posted Xilence Xilent Blade Pro - silent cpu cooler

The problems I encountered with this procedure are as follows; First when the top ‘H’ plate was resting on the heatsink base and I was trying to insert and screw in the thumbscrews the processor was free to slide about, this could be corrected when the top ‘H’ plate had been tightened a bit (provided that you had noticed it), but it more than likely will cause the thermal paste underneath to spread unevenly and result in poor thermal performance.

ASUS P5E3 Deluxe/WiFi-AP@n Review
InsideHW.com posted a review on the ASUS P5E3 Deluxe/WiFi-AP@n

This motherboard definitely merits a reward in its own terms, but we simply have to omit one. Even if this board manages not to be too expensive, it is plain rabid to give 400=E2=82=AC for 2 gigs of DDR3 RAM. However, if you want the best of the best without caring much about the price, we recommend this board wholeheartedly.

Gigabyte Volar CPU Cooler Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Gigabyte Volar CPU Cooler

Gigabyte is mainly known for making motherboards, but if you didn't know they make a lot of other products. A while ago we took a look at their 3D Rocket II CPU cooler and it did perform well at all. They have just released a new cooler the Volar, which is very different from any CPU cooler that I have seen. And believe me I have seen a bunch of different CPU coolers! Let's see if this unique design can help the Volar perform better than the 3D Rocket II.

Space Ace HD Review for PC
OCModShop posted a review on Space Ace HD for the PC

If you were a teenager in the 80s then you certainly have fond memories of Don Bluth's laser-disc games like Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. Th ese games were simply amazing at the time and were so bleeding edge that you could sever an arm if you got too close to the cabinet.

Now Digital Leisure has introduced Space Ace in High Definition format. These aren't merely upscaled transfers from laser-disc but a total re-mastering of the original film. Yes, back in those days animation was still done using hand-painted cells and cellulose film. If you were a fan of these classic games (or are just an animation buff) then Space Ace HD will certainly interest you.
