Western Digital WD TV Media Player Review
Bigbruin.com posted a review on the Western Digital WD TV Media Player

The Western Digital WD TV has plenty of attributes to help it score at the top of the list of media players I have checked out so far. It has a slick but simple appearance, the user interface is attractive and easy to use, the system is quick to respond to commands from the remote control, it supports plenty of file formats, and it has HDMI connectivity.

Elixir 6 GB 1600 MHz CL9 Tri-Channel Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the Elixir 6 GB 1600 MHz CL9 Tri-Channel

Elixir is known for their standard JEDEC modules, usually found in budget and mid-range systems. Their 1600 MHz tri-channel kit tries to give you that same value with a hint of overclockability thrown in the mix, for those who want that magical 1600 MHz speed, while spending as little as possible.

HP DM3 Laptop/Netbook Review
TechwareLabs has published a review of the HP DM3 Laptop/Netbook

When is a Laptop Not a Netbook or a Notebook? The answer is when it's the new HP DM3 powered by AMD's Athlon Neo processor. This 13.3 inch marvel combines properties of both a netbook and a notebook to achieve something truly remarkable. The DM3 has the thinness of a netbook, the resolution and size of an ultraportable laptop, the price of a netbook, and yet nearly the performance of a full laptop. The best thing about the DM3 . . . it does it all with HP styling. So is the DM3 the answer to consumer prayers? Should it be on your holiday wish list? Read on. . . .

ATI Radeon HD 5970 2GB in CrossFireX Review
TweakTown posted a review on the ATI Radeon HD 5970 2GB in CrossFireX

So, we've looked at the HD 5970 in single form and we've also seen the massive OC potential of the card. You have to wonder what else there is to do? - We'll, that's easy; install our second HD 5970 into the system and see how CrossFireX goes.

Since the second card arrived from big red themselves, there isn't a whole lot to look at. We'll have a quick peek at the card, just in case you haven't had a chance to see what's happening with it. We'll also snag a quick GPU-Z screen shot to make sure CrossFireX is working before we simply get into the benchmarks.

Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 Review
XSReviews has reviewed Sapphire Radeon HD 5850

The graphics solution world is constantly evolving with visual quality being stepped up at an ever-growing exponential rate. The launch of Windows 7 and with it the tantalising prospect of DirectX 11 games is perhaps not so much just a single step up but a whole flight of stairs designed to deliver unparalleled graphics quality.

With nVidia sliding by the way side, ATI is setting about monopolising the market rolling out numerous members of its 5 series cards, each of which offers a different price/performance ratio, following the main launch of the 5870 -- a card which packed some serious performance and certainly turned heads at the beginning of the DirectX 11 era.

However, with DirectX 11 games still very much on the horizon and price of the 5870 way over budget for many enthusiasts, the inevitable introduction of the 5850 followed shortly. Based on the same RV870 core, codenamed Cypress, but located inside the $250 price bracket, the 5850 should consolidate the performance achieved by its bigger brother placing it in the upper mid-range section so as to push all the buttons for DX11 enthusiasts.

Thermaltake BlacX Duet HDD Docking Station Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Thermaltake BlacX Duet HDD Docking Station

The BlacX Duet we have on hand today is the third in the BlacX series of hard drive docking stations from Thermaltake. We first saw the BlacX at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show and got our hands on a review sample a month later. We came away from that review very impressed with the concept and implementation, although USB-only transfer left us wanting more. The second coming of the BlacX, dubbed the SE version, featured a 4-port USB hub but still failed to deliver eSATA transfer capability. With the latest release of the BlacX, Thermaltake has done away with the 4-port USB hub, added a second slot that allows for two drives to be mounted simultaneously and finally added eSATA compatibility. This is looking more like the BlacX we hoped for nearly two years ago.

HTC Hero Review
InsideHW.com has reviewed HTC Hero smartphone

HTC Hero touch screen Android smartphone has arrived in our test lab and first feature that we noticed was its unusual design. We got white version that has brushed aluminum frame around display which is rather unusual combination. We made a brief survey among innocent bystanders and their first impressions were contradictory, up to the point when they unlocked the device. Right after unlock impressions became irrelevant…

OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Intel XMP LV 4GB review
Neoseeker reviews some OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Intel XMP LV memory

The bright side is the modules ability to run tight timings at their stock frequency. After spending a few hours with them, making sure sure I got the most out of every setting while keeping them fully stable, I was able to drop them to 7-7-7-18.

Cooler Master SNA95 Slim Universal Notebook Adapter Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Cooler Master SNA95 Slim Universal Notebook Adapter

If you are anything like me, you see a great number of notebooks, netbooks and tablet computers come through your office. If I kept an OEM adapter around for every laptop I had ever serviced, I would have a pirate chest full of tangled booty. Thankfully we have manufacturers who provide us with a simpler solution: the Universal Adapter. Some offerings are cheap and flimsy, while others are quality hardware that make themselves invaluable tools. Today we take a look at the Cooler Master SNA95 Slim Notebook Adapter to see which of these categories it falls into.

QNAP TS-419P NAS 4-Bay Network Storage Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the QNAP TS-419P NAS 4-Bay Network Storage

Benchmark Reviews has monitored the network storage industry for several years now, and the same three features have always held the highest demand: speed, data redundancy, and simple operation. QNAP has earned the title of NAS pioneer, not by being the first to have a network attached storage (NAS) device on the market, but by being the first to consistently offer fast Gigabit Ethernet speeds with failover, RAID hard drive functionality, and a diverse feature-rich user interface. In this article, Benchmark Reviews test the QNAP TS-419P Turbo NAS based on the Marvell 6281 'Kirkwood' processor.

CoolerMaster Sileo 500 Case Review
Ninjalane has posted their review of the semi silent case from Cooler Master called the Sileo 500.

A silent case may seem like a "sales gimmick" to some people, after all how can a case make noise? While it is true that the case itself isn't loud it can help transmit sound. After all it is the fans and other components that actually generate the noise. But the direct noise is only half of the battle, many of the sounds you hear coming from your case can be traced back to all of the moving parts and their affect on the case itself.

AXUS FiT 500E Five-Bay RAID DAS Server Review
TweakTown posted a review on the AXUS FiT 500E Five-Bay RAID DAS Server

Up until now we focused primarily on Network Attached Storage (NAS) servers, but Direct Attached Storage (DAS) seems to be a level that consumers are more eager to venture. There could be many reasons for this. DAS products cost less while offering many of the benefits of NAS servers. In this economy disposable income for many has been reduced, but the problems still remain; how is one supposed to keep all their digital files safe from mechanical failure?

AXUS Microsystems is a company that most of us are not familiar with. Their parent company is ASUStek, someone we have all come to know and love for many years now. I am a little surprised to see ASUS not launching storage systems under their own name considering the global brand recognition they have, but Shakespeare said it best; does a rose by any other name not smell as sweet?
