Need for Speed Undercover Review
bit-tech published a review of Need for Speed Undercover

The sprints, highway battles, races and escapes are all fine -- it's the largely dull and unimpressive environment they are all set in that quickly gets old. The 'golden hour' lighting effect which dusts the landscape of the game does a good job of making it look pretty, but you still eventually get the feeling that you've raced the same street over and over.

The Tri-City area is, in other words, remarkably devoid of landmarks as well as pedestrians and the fact that there are often good ten-minute stretches without any traffic to dodge through doesn't help.

At the start of the review we said that the two important keywords for the / /Need for Speed series are style and brevity. You could argue that 'speed' should belong there too, but it kind of goes without saying. The issue with //Undercover though is that it's started to show us just how shallow those things can be.

It quickly becomes obvious that when you finally do get under the covers with / /Need for Speed then it's all sack and no substance. That's not enough to impress my girlfriend and it's not enough to impress me either.

Samsung's NC10 sub-notebook Review
bit-tech published a review of Samsung's NC10 sub-notebook

The Samsung NC10 is, quite simply, the best netbook money can buy at the moment. While there's no one feature that puts it head and shoulders above everything else out there, the combination of superb build quality and attention to detail gives the NC10 a distinct edge over the competition.

Things like the matte finish which doesn't attract fingerprints (I'm not a fan of the White, but there are Blue and Black variants as well though), the excellent keyboard and one of the best screens we've seen on a netbook to date just demonstrate the thought and effort Samsung has put into this little device.

Of course, there are downsides like the trackpad and accompanying buttons, which we would have preferred to be a bit bigger, and we can't forget the performance limitations imposed on netbooks. Forget about watching high-definition video and doing other CPU-intensive tasks if you're not prepared to wait because, like every other netbook out there, the heart of the NC10 isn't designed with high performance in mind. Instead, the Intel Atom processor inside this device is all about delivering / /good enough computing and that's exactly what the NC10 delivers.

Frankly, that's about all we have been able to come up with and, as far as I'm concerned, if that's all that is wrong with a device that costs less than £300 (including VAT) then we're onto a winner.

Silverstone Fortress FT01 Mid-Tower Chassis Review
JonnyGURU.com posted a review on the Silverstone Fortress FT01 Mid-Tower Chassis

A couple of years ago Silverstone created a uni-body PC chassis, the Temjin TJ07. The TJ07 case is still one of the best looking cases from Silverstone to date. In an attempt to expand on that design Silverstone has decided to create a new line of chassis, the Fortress series. The Silverstone Fortress FT01 is the first chassis in that product line, which utilizes the same uni-body design as the TJ07. It also brings several great features to the table, so come on in and see what we have to say about it.

Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P Ultra Durable 3 Motherboard Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P Ultra Durable 3 Motherboard

Today, we take a step back from Intel's new Core i7 to look at one of the motherboards from Gigabyte's new Ultra Durable 3 line, the EP45-UD3P. As its name suggests, this board is based on the current mainstream chipset offering from Intel, the P45 Express. Although we've covered this ground before, most recently with our look at two recent offerings from MSI, it's helpful to remember that the P45 is closely related to the X48 Express with support for Core 2 Duo and Quad processors as well as DDR2 or DDR3 RAM. What that means for most people is that the EP45-UD3P, as well as other P45 boards, makes for a great upgrade without breaking the bank.

OutCast - The Ultimate Outdoor Wireless Speaker
TestFreaks.com checked out the OutCast Outdoor Wireless Speaker

Today I've got an unusual product for review it's a speaker, but not in the traditional way, this thing can be set on fire and even run through a carwash and still work great. The product is the OutCast from SoundCast Systems and it's a wireless portable speaker system that comes with a transmitter called the iCast with a built in iPod dock. One nice thing though is that is can accept most any audio source, at the transmitter or at the OutCast unit itself. It is a bit on the large side, in both price and weight, but overall it's a very unique product that works perfectly, sounds excellent and is just really cool,

Aerocool AeroRacer Pro Enclosure Review
Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the Aerocool AeroRacer Pro Enclosure

The AeroRacer series feature styling reminiscent of a race car. The particular model up for review today is the AeroRacer Pro, which is a mid-tower chassis. When it comes to versatility and ventilation, the AeroRacer Pro has no competition. The overall lines are styled like a race car, and it features both an enormous 400mm side intake fan (which reminds me of the large radiator cooling fans on a car) and an "Engine Start" button for powering up the computer. The massive intake fan has up to 250CFM of airflow for maximum ventilation, and an optional rear 120mm fan for advanced cooling. Tool-free assembly, convenient dual USB 2.0, microphone, and speaker ports, and easy-access power and reset buttons finish off this little beauty.

The aesthetics of the unit are a little bit different from the norm, but everything is well done. In use, the Toughpower QFan 650W power supply is very impressive; providing excellent voltage regulation and near silent operation. Most high quality power supplies these days aim to be quiet, but Thermaltake takes a few extra steps to guarantee it on this unit.

Overclockers Online posted a review on the Samsung LN55A950 LCD TV

I've held onto the Samsung LN55A950 for over 2 months and every second I sit down in front of it, I'm blown away by its performance. I'll end up re-watching some show or movie in HD and notice details that I missed before. The LN55A950 is certainly not for everyone as it holds a high price tag, but those who want the best shouldn't settle for anything less. Imagine the nothing less than the best, imagine the A950 in your home.

With Core i7 now officially on the market for sale, it wasn’t going to be long before boards and memory came out to support it.

Today we have Corsair’s Dominator triple-channel memory kit aimed at the Core i7 range with three DDR3 memory modules designed for 1600MHz at the rated 1.65v max that Intel recommends for the Core i7. How will it perform? Let’s find out.

Lian Li Maxima Force 750w PSU Review
XtremeComputing posted a review on the Lian Li Maxima Force 750w PSU

Lian Li’s Maxima Force 750W PSU is a very capable powersupply, it was hardly phased by all the load our test rig could generate and kept its voltage output strong and steady. The matt black industrial look is a great finish and didn’t have any imperfections that I could see. Lian Li have thrown on some embossed aluminium badges that compliment this look and I think it works well.
