A-Data Vitesta 2GB DDR2-800 Extreme Edition memory Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the A-Data Vitesta 2GB DDR2-800 Extreme Edition memory

Guys, if you don't know what to ask for under that Christmas tree within say a 60 USD budget... now might be a good time to upgrade your PC's memory. Currently prices range 25 to 30 USD per 1 GB. Today's tested 2GB memory kit for example will set you back only 55 USD.

A-data released this memory under a "Extreme Edition" label. And I do have to admit, for the money you get to play around with 4-4-4-12 timings !

Logitech Wave Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Review
HardwareLogic posted Logitech Wave Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Review

Ergonomic keyboards have usually been greeted with less than enthusiastic remarks from the mainstream crowd, but Logitech is taking a stab at something not so extreme. The Cordless Desktop Wave appears to be like the Swiss Army knife of input devices, but let's find out if this is this just a stab in the dark for Logitech.

Cooler Master Real Power Pro 750W Power Supply Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the Cooler Master Real Power Pro 750W power supply

The Cooler Master Real Power Pro 750W surprised the hell out of me with its solid performance and high quality construction. The performance I saw is in such stark contrast to the price that I found myself retesting again and again just to make sure this power supply really was performing as good as it was.

Saitek P3200 Rumble Gamepad Review
OCC has published a new review of the Saitek P3200 Rumble Gamepad

The P3200 performed very well in the Sensitivity test. The range and movement of the analog sticks was very accurate. The feel of the controller during action was smooth and steady. In Airborne, navigating the skies with my parachute was effortless and when I landed, I had no trouble traversing the streets of Europe. The Cyborg Rumble took top prize in this category because of its Precision Mode; this feature allows the user to tighten the sensitivity of the analog sticks with the push of a button, making sniping your enemies easier and more accurate. All of the gamepads felt extremely nice while playing Combat Flight Simulator 3. The large variety of rumble forces featured in this game were enjoyable, from the steady rumble of your engines, to the quick bursts while using your guns, to the deep rumble felt from G-forces when banking and maneuvering during battle.

ThermalTake Armor+ VH6000 Review
XSReviews reviewed the ThermalTake Armor+ VH6000

I'll be honest, when the ThermalTake Armor+ case arrived at the office, I was left in a similar state as when the Antec P190 landed; speechless. The box is a mammoth construction of cardboard that hints of the case packaged inside; a super tower case.

This case is something special; it's built for the most demanding user and includes the option to have preinstalled water cooling, up to seven HDD bays, up to seven 5.25" bays, a removable motherboard tray, aluminium construction and a large 23cm fan. With its gamer-centric looks, cavernous size and WCG (World Cyber Games) official case accolade, let's see how it performs.

Tatung L22YMTT Review
BurnOutPC.com has just posted a review on the Tatung L22YMTT LCD.

Dollarshop describes this LCD as a cost effective large size - wide screen monitor with great image and sound quality, that's pretty much hits the nail on the head. The Tatung L22YMTT is a 22inch DVI compatible LCD for under 250 euro's. I like it, but I haven't had the opportunity to check out any higher end monitors. So you could compare me with an average joe. Looking for a great deal on a monitor, wishing he had a large wide screen LCD for not too much money. Overall I'm pleased with the monitor. It had some issues. It's not perfect, but I got in love with it ever since I got it.

Phenom 9600 Review
Neoseeker published a review of the Phenom 9600, including a look at the MSI K9A2 CF

Finally we are able to bring you some Phenom benchmarks! After Phenom launched a few weeks ago, we were able to get our hands on a Phenom 9600 2.3GHz Quad Core processor and I did extensive testing on this brand new chip. The Phenom is perhaps one of the most anticipated chips of 2007: it is indeed the first ever Quad Core CPU to have all 4 cores on a single die.

OCZ Vendetta CPU Cooler Review
OCC has published a new review of the OCZ Vendetta CPU Cooler

Looking at the Vendetta from above shows the improvements made from the Xigmatek design on the fins. Dimples were placed in all of the fins to create turbulence which reduces the skinning effect of the air passing over the fins. Also, a "V" bend was added to the fins to increase overall surface area without compromising the compact design. The other notable feature of the cooler is the H.D.T. (Heat pipe direct touch) design, where the heat pipes are in direct contact with the CPU. The bottom of the cooler is flat; once the heat pipes and base are mated, they are machined as a single piece to achieve a truly flat mating surface.

ASUS Xonar D2X sound card Review
Elite Bastards posted ASUS Xonar D2X sound card review

A couple of months ago, we took a look at ASUS' first true entrant into the burgeoning discrete sound card market, the Xonar D2. While we were impressed with the cabling and software bundle, the actual hardware proved itself to be a jack of all trades but master of none, with audio quality not quite on a par with Auzentech's latest offering, the Prelude, and gaming performance below Creative Labs' own X-Fi based solutions.

However, the last couple of months have seen a few changes and (hopefully) improvements upon the D2, which brings us to today's review. Out goes PCI support in favour of a PCI Express 1x interface, and the drivers for this board have also had an overhaul, particularly under Windows Vista, supposedly offering improved playback and recording quality. This new part comes under the name of 'D2X', and it's the subject of this article - Will it take ASUS from also-rans to a new leader in the discrete sound card market?

Sunbeam Tuniq Mini Plant 950W Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the Sunbeam Tuniq Mini Plant 950W

Sunbeam's Mini Plant is a wolf in sheep's clothing. The PSU comes in an ATX standard sized casing but offers up to 950W of power. With most other manufacturers this means that the PSU fan will be very loud, not with the Mini Plant. Actually the fan is the quietest we ever tested in the 900W+ segment, you can almost not hear it, even under load.
