Lian Li PC-V1020B Mid Tower Chassis Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Lian Li PC-V1020B Mid Tower Chassis

Lian Li has been gracious enough to allow me to look at a lot of their products. From the smaller cases like the PC-V352 SFF chassis we've looked at, and cases that are just enormous like the PC-X1000 Super Tower. Both cases have similar features even though they are worlds apart in size and usage. Things like an all aluminum construction, quality fans included, and the sexiness that looking at a Lian Li chassis always has. With the chassis we are about to look at, all of those things are present, plus some upgrades and some add-ons that weren't available when I looked at the two I just mentioned.

One thing that tends to keep buyers from the Lian Li lineup is the pricing. With every chassis I have seen from them, they do charge a fair bit more than the rest of the marketed segment that each chassis is released in. In this example we are going to be looking at a Mid Tower chassis, and that market is filled over capacity with tons of offerings already, and many of them under the $100 USD mark. So why does Lian Li charge such a premium for their chassis'? I plan to explain exactly that and show you why buying a chassis like the one we are about to see is well worth the asking price over say the Cooler Master line of budget cases.

NZXT Bunker USB Locking Device Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the NZXT Bunker USB Locking Device

If you frequently attend LAN gaming events, share common living space or otherwise have reason to leave your computer in a public area, one thing you're likely concerned with is theft. The likelihood that someone could walk off unnoticed with your case under their arm may be slim, however peripherals such as keyboards and mice are much more susceptible. NZXT has come up with a solution to this problem with their Bunker USB Locking Device. Compatible with any case that has a free 5¼" external drive bay, the Bunker offers four USB 2.0 ports that can be locked down to prevent the devices from being unplugged.

Intel Next Generation Core i5-2500K and i7-2600K “Sandy Bridge” Processors Review
Futurelooks checked out the Intel Next Generation Core i5-2500K and i7-2600K “Sandy Bridge” Processors

Sandy Bridge is Intel’s next generation 32nm architecture processor adding to their already illustrious CPU genealogy. While Sandy Bridge is architecturally similar to the Core i3, i5, and i7 processors featuring an integrated memory controller and on-die integrated graphics, it is indeed a new beast. The new on-die graphics core promises to change our perception of what integrated graphics can offer and new internal optimizations make the processor far more media aggressive than anything have seen to date. Let’s go over the features that make this new platform special and see what the benchmarks say.

Corsair Vengeance 12GB DDR3 1600 Review
OCC has published a review on the Corsair Vengeance 12GB DDR3 1600 memory

Overclocking a 12GB set of memory should present some challenges but when playing with this set is was no harder to overclock than a 6GB set. I say that knowing it should take more QPI volts to stabilize the overclock than you might use with a 6GB set. All it took was the right combination of settings to reach the number. 1700MHz came without much fuss but 1800Mhz took an increase in voltage while maintaining the 9-9-9-24 timings. Moving up further required another bump to 1.65v and to finally reach 1974MHz (374MHz over the rated 1600Mhz) the timings needed to be relaxed to 9-10-9-27.

Kitguru posted a review on the HIS Multi View II USB Display Adapter

There are many people out there who use a laptop as their main machine, both on the move and at home. While a laptop is convenient when you’re on the go, at home there is room for a large screen or multiple screens for an extended desktop. Most laptops support up to one external display but what do you do if you need two external displays?

GeForce GTX 460 SE Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the GeForce GTX 460 SE video card

If there is one release from NVIDIA that can be classified as 'a little weird' it just has to be the GeForce GTX 460 SE, out of the blue this product was injected into the retail sales stream, quietly.

Positioned in-between a 768 MB and the 1024MB version of the GTX the 1024MB SE version is now available. We'll test Zotac's GeForce GTX 460 SE version, armed with a full GB of graphics memory and a slightly faster core clock frequency opposed to the regular SE
models. Check out the full review here

Noctua NH-C14 CPU Cooler Review
Dreamware Computers takes a look at the Noctua NH-C14 CPU Cooler

Today I have something I've been anxiously waiting for - Noctua's latest NH-C14 cooler. This cooler combines two of Noctua's large 140mm fans onto a single six heatpipe radiator. The large fan design should theoretically allow for some pretty quiet operation, while hopefully not sacrificing too much airflow loss either. It's time to see what this new cooler is all about, and where it falls in with the performance of many other coolers from Noctua's lineup.

Patriot Xporter XT Rage 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Patriot Xporter XT Rage 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive

The Patriot Extreme Performance Xporter XT Rage is a USB Flash Drive with both performance and functionality. Featuring an innovative 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. Read on to see how it performs!

Well, when it comes down to it, Patriot has made a good product here with the Xporter XT Rage 32GB USB 2.0 Flash drive. Patriot Memory says this drive has up to 27MB/s Read and 25MB/s Write speeds and we were able to hit faster than this in read tests, but the write tests came up a little bit short. With its sequential read speeds hitting close to the theoretical limits of the USB specifications and its write times coming in above what Patriot specified the drive at, we definitely have a good product on our hands. This 32GB storage drive has a useable 29.8GB of storage space, so when it comes to storage you can keep a ton of data on the Xporter XT Rage and take it with you on the go...
