Creative Gigaworks T40 2.0 Speakers Review
TrustedReviews have looked at the Creative Gigaworks T40 2.0 Speakers.

Just like the Gigaworks T20s, the T40s are a superb set of speakers for the price. Excellent clarity and a wide sound makes listening to music a joy, bringing the subtleties of all kinds of music to life. Gaming and film performance was also impressive and if you want an inexpensive but high quality set of speakers for a living room, then these come highly recommended.

Cooler Master Hyper TX2 & 212 Review
bit-tech published a review of Cooler Master's Hyper TX2 & 212 heatsinks

If you're after the ultimate performance from an air heatsink the Cooler Master Hyper 212 should certainly fit the bill with its included high performance fan and dual fan option, but you'll need to swap the fan out for a quieter alternative or at least lower the voltage on the current one if pine for a quiet environment.

For those looking for an inexpensive but still capable heatsink, the Hyper TX2 is a good purchase. With both AMD and Intel support included it does more than the Arctic Cooler Freezer 7 Pro, but it's worth remembering that the Freezer 7 Pro performs better and has a 4-pin connector to knock the fan noise down on the many compatible motherboards. The Hyper TX2 suffers from the same fate as the Hyper 212, in that it's audible but not offensive, and the fan can again be swapped out if need be, unlike the Freezer 7 Pro.

Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi-AP Motherboard Review
HardwareLogic posted a review on the Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi-AP Motherboard

Today HardwareLogic looks at the Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi-AP motherboard. Based around Intel's P35 chipset and sporting support for the Core 2 architecture, we're walking into this review with high hopes. After all, Intel chipsets have a reputation for stability, and their Core 2 processors are proving to be very OC friendly. Couple these traits with Asus' market mentality, and it would appear to be the perfect marriage. But will this union ultimately receive our blessing, or should we be looking to annul?

AMD Phenom X4 9600 Performance Preview
Hardware Canucks posted a full preview of the highly anticipated Phenom X4 9600.

Its hard to draw any solid conclusions based on what we've observed today. As mentioned before, some of our results have been. Odd. The results achieved by the Phenom X4 9600 showed a tendency to sea-saw between extremely promising and extremely disappointing. There have been many people waiting for this chip and we all hope this is not as good as it gets. Whether performance (or lack thereof) can be attributed to the immature state of our board BIOS or some other factor is yet to be determined, but we were expecting so much more out of the Phenom...

NZTX Alpha Classic Series Case Review
ThinkComputers.org posted NZTX Alpha Classic Series Case Review

Most of the cases on today's market are designed for standard components. Not a whole lot of cases can offer guaranteed support for large expansion cards like the 8800GTX, unlike the NXZT Alpha. This is the first case that I have seen that offers eSATA as an external port. Its sleek high-gloss black paint and custom drive bays will keep your case aesthetically pleasing. This steel mid-tower case will surely have you impressed. Let's take a further look to see what all this case has to offer.

The mouse mat / pad is something that users pretty much neglect that's unless you're a gamer. Coolermaster have come up with a "Dual-sided" mouse pad that's not only aimed at the mainstream user, but also for hardcore gamers. It features a "precision" side for accuracy and a "speed" side for fluid game play. We put it through the test.

Samsung GX-10 Digital SLR Camera Review
Boot Daily posted a review on the Samsung GX-10 Digital SLR Camera

This camera is currently being offered at an entry level price, yet offers many professional grade features that the competition reserves for their more expensive camera bodies. Notable for these professional grade features, the GX-10 is more than enough camera for 99% of users. It is interesting to note that the GX-10 is based, very closely, on the Pentax K10D. Aside from a slightly different menu system and ergonomics, they are the same camera.

BleedinEdge posted a review on the Cooler Master CM690 Case

Today computer cases are more than the beige box of the past. No longer the drab box sitting on the desktop they have been transformed. People now have a choice of colors as well as styles and can expand the case to suit their needs. The form has been addressed but what about function? With some cases function has taken a back seat to form. Today's review focuses on one case where it appears that function was foremost in the designers mind but without loosing site of form. Let's take a look at Cooler Master's CM 690 to see how well form and function can work together.

Creative Inspire T7900 Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Creative Inspire T7900

For the most part, you'll be gaming with your multi-GPU system with a similar quantity of CPU cores and a couple of gigs of RAM and your nice TFT screen. But with the sounds coming from the OEM speakers you stole from an old shop-bought machine, you'll be giving your eyes the lion-share of the entertainment while your ears are subjected to tinny, two channel sound.

With nearly every motherboard, no matter how inexpensive, coming with upwards of 5.1 surround output, there is no excuse for using just the green jack. Step in Creative's Inspire T7900 kit, featuring a gamer friendly price-tag, 7 separate speakers and a large bass unit with upmixing. Let's see whether it's right for you.

With the holiday season quickly coming upon us, the talk of gift ideas is becoming a daily occurrence. If you are reading this review, then the talk must be including computer ideas and projects. What better way to say you love someone than with a HTPC enclosure from GlacialTech? I know this isn't a full blown HTPC system, but it's a start to something you can custom build. The GlacialTech Altair A380 is an aluminum HTPC enclosure that can be found in silver or black. The side, top, and rear panels have been slotted for maximum cooling and it includes a power supply, which not too many enclosures include these days. The front panel of the A380 has a very clean look going for it, with a front panel card reader and I/O powers, power/reset buttons, a single 5.25" opening, IR port for the included remote control, and of course those wonderful LED's.

OCIA.net takes a look at the Thermaltake Bigwater 760i Watercooling System in their latest review.

Internal liquid cooling system components are usually separate pieces, which do require a little extra space in your case, something mid-tower owners may not be able to afford. It also adds complexity and additional time to the installation when the end user has to put everything together themselves. But Thermaltake now has a solution for both problems, the Bigwater 760i.

Tweaknews.net posted a review on the Uniblue RegistryBooster 2 Tweaking Software

This software is without a doubt one of the easiest and fastest ways to optimize system performance by cleaning up the Windows registry. I noticed an immediate improvement in startup and shutdown times and programs open faster as well. Overall, the computer just runs a whole lot smoother and it only took a few minutes from start to finish. The interface is straightforward and designed in such a way that just about anyone will feel comfortable using it, and with backups automatically performed there's little to worry about in the way of any problems arising.
