Lian Li PC-V2010 Full Tower Chassis Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Lian Li PC-V2010 Full Tower Chassis

Lian Li introduced the full tower PC-V2010 PC chassis early in 2008. It's almost a mirror image of their PC-V2000, but at the same time it's not. It looks strikingly similar upon first glance, but upon closer inspection, you can easily see that it's a whole different beast. And I do mean beast. The Lain Li PC-V2010 is large by any standard. I mean, it's HUGE! And it's beautiful.

Logitech PlayGear Pocket Slim Review
TestFreaks.com posted a review on the Logitech PlayGear Pocket Slim

Cases designed to protect portable gaming systems can be bland. Sure you get the physical protection, but they lack individuality. Logitech has addressed this issue with their newest case the PlayGear Pocket Slim for the PSP 2000 series aka the PSP Slim. This case allows the user to access all the controls and connections while the PSP is housed within the PlayGear Pocket Slim.

Logitech includes a template for creating custom skins that lets one personalize the case to their style. In addition, the case can accommodate the larger 2220 mAh Extended Life Battery.

Samsung Super-WriteMaster 22x DVD Burner SH-S223Q Review and Comparison
TestFreaks posted Samsung Super-WriteMaster 22x DVD Burner SH-S223Q Review and Comparison

Today I've got a combination review and article for you, more of a roundup, or comparison piece really. Samsung sent me their new Super Write-Master 22X DVD burner for review, just the drive though, the OEM version basically, and I've been meaning to do a small article about optical drives, comparing their speeds, so I figured why not incorporate the new Samsung into the article.

The Super Write-Master features LightScribe, which I'm sure everyone knows about by now, but it's main feature is of course the speed of the drive, writing DVDs at 22x, though there is no media capable of that yet that I know of. Another great feature of this drive is the SpeedPlus which is an optomised algorithm for writing at the fastest possible speeds, along with that the drive also features Speed Adjustment Technology, low noise and Buffer Under Run Technology. I've put the Samsung up against four other drives for comparison, and interestingly, during my testing I found the Super Write-Master will burn a 16x DVD at over 18X speeds, coming in at just a little over 5 minutes to burn a DVD, with the closest competitor coming in at almost 6 minutes.

Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P

Gigabyte has recently launched a line of motherboards featuring “Ultra Durable 3”. What is Ultra Durable, you ask? Well, it features the Ultra Durable that Gigabyte has been talking for a few years now that includes their Dynamic Energy Saver, where the motherboard will throttle down to save some power. We have previously looked at this feature with our X38 reviews (EX38-DS4 or EP35-DS4). The Ultra Durable 3 steps even further in terms of cooling of the motherboard. Gigabyte has designed the motherboard with “2oz of Copper and 2oz Copper Power and Ground layers for dramatically lower system temperature, improved energy efficiency, and enhanced stability for overclocking.” In addition, the motherboard also features Japanese Solid Capacitors, Lower RDS MOSFET, and Ferrite Core Choke.

Zotac has been around for a few years now and finally heating things up by providing anything but stock graphics cards.

That means, you won't find any stock frequencies here, but factory overclocked and tuned graphics cards. Their slogan is, "It's Time to Play"

VidaBox Premium Wireless HTPC Media Center Keyboard Review
APH Networks has published a new review on the VidaBox Premium Wireless HTPC Media Center Keyboard

It has been over half a year since we last reviewed a keyboard, the last time being the APH Recommended Logitech MX5500 Revolution by Jonathan. During the past six months, things in the technology world have changed quite a bit -- for example, the introduction of the dual core Intel Atom 330, increasingly common usage of Mini ITX boards, and in general, low(er) cost computing products. Such products have lead to the creation of Nettop computers; a range of computers that are not only value oriented, but also features a low running cost. Products built around Atom processors are also propagating the market quickly -- from the Asus Eee Box to the Shuttle X27. Such computers are great for home theater PC setups if you're not after something like 1080p Blu-ray decoding. Speaking of HTPCs, it's interesting how computers are becoming more and more popular in the living room. Combined with such features built right into various editions of common operating systems, affordable computing hardware (Even if it's not a Nettop unit, excellent performing parts are readily available at very reasonable prices), and a large collection of peripherals to go with it in the market today, making it your weekend DIY project shouldn't be much of a luxury or challenge anymore. Okay, let's get to the point. Today, we'll be reviewing the VidaBox Premium Wireless HTPC Media Center Keyboard. To be honest, I have never heard of VidaBox prior to this review. A quick visit to their website indicates that they have a ton of interesting home theater product, this keyboard is only one of many. Let's see how this keyboard that's made primarily for home theater computers works out. And not to mention that it has the uber hardcore good ol' trackball.
