Motorola DEXT review
IT Pro take a look at the Motorola DEXT, the manufacturer's first foray in Android territory.

When we first laid eyes on the Motorola DEXT a few months ago we were pretty impressed. As the company's first foray into Android territory, things could go either way, but we were pleased to report back then that the debut was a valiant attempt.

In the time I've been reviewing power supplies here at jonnyGURU.com, I've tested big power supplies, little power supplies, and just about every power supply in between. Until today, I've never gone looking to completely max out my testing equipment. But that's about to change. Dear readers, I give you one of only two power supplies currently on the North American market capable of over 1500 watts of output. I give you the Silverstone Strider Series ST1500.

Lian Li PC B25F Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Lian Li PC B25F case

Lian Li are well known for their flush designed cases, with smooth elegant styling and high construction values. Once again we have one that seems to tick all the boxes at first look, but will it live up to our testing? The B25F on the surface seems pretty standard Lian Li, but it comes with some interesting features that should peak the interest of more than a few.

Nikon D5000 DSLR Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the Nikon D5000 DSLR

Consumer DSLRs with HD video capabilities are becoming more and more prevalent these days. As a result, manufacturers are constantly battling to find ways to differentiate themselves and their products from the others. Nikon's D5000 offers a few features that help set it apart from other options in the company's line as well as from the models offered by other manufacturers.

Like many DSLRs today, the D5000 offers Live View mode. It also has HD movie recording capabilities with the ability to capture up to 720p HD video at 24fps. While some cameras such as the Canon EOS Rebel T1i focus on a large, high-resolution display on the back of the camera, Nikon has gone a slightly different route and has opted to feature an articulating screen on the back of the D5000...

In Win Maelstrom Full Tower Computer Case Review
Tweaknews posted a review on the In Win Maelstrom Full Tower Computer Case

In Win’s Maelstrom chassis has a lot to recommend it. The outstanding cooling performance is probably its greatest asset, and the fact that this cooling comes at such a low noise penalty is just icing on the cake. A roomy interior that will mount just about any hardware you would want to throw at it is a big plus as well.

ThermalTake Element V Review
OCC has published a review on the ThermalTake Element V

I must say ThermalTake has added yet another impressive case to its Element Series lineup. It contends with the competition in performance and is even able to support some server motherboards through support of EATX which is a nice bonus. The case is also still expandable by adding on another top 200mm fan. It also supports a large amount of whatever combinations of 3.5" and 5.25" devices you want to throw at it.

Bigbruin.com has published a review on the TrickleStar PC TrickleSaver

Today on the Bigbruin.com test bench we have the TrickleStar PC TrickleSaver. The concept is pretty straight forward... Plug the unit into the wall, attach a power strip, plug "stuff" into the strip, and attach the USB cable to your PC or Mac. When you turn you computer off, the "stuff" doesn't consume any electricity. Seems simple enough.

ICY DOCK MB668U-1SB 2.5-inch External Hard Drive Enclosure Review
ThinkComputer posted a review on the ICY DOCK MB668U-1SB 2.5-inch External Hard Drive Enclosure

When it comes to external hard drive enclosures the 2.5-inch market is not that popular. Mainly because so many people use older 3.5-inch drives with 3.5-inch enclosures. The thing about 3.5-inch enclosures is that they are large and not easy to carry with you. The MB668U-1SB 2.5-inch enclosure from ICY DOCK is not only small and light it also allows you to install a hard drive with no tools at all. Another interesting thing about this enclosure is that not only does it have a USB connection it has an eSATA connection as well.

Thermaltake Massive23 CS Notebook Cooler Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Thermaltake Massive23 CS Notebook Cooler

Given the performance and efficiency of large fan coolers we should anticipate seeing more products adopt this design. One such product is the Thermaltake Massive23 CS gaming laptop cooler (manufacturer model CLN0008). The Massive23 CS builds around one large central fan to provide all cooling needs. But good cooling requires more than just a big fan. Benchmark Reviews has tested similar products and unveiled some of those factors. In this review we can see some of those factors at play by testing the performance of the CLN0008.

Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR3-1600 Review
PureOverclock has published a review of the Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR3-1600 memory modules.

We have seen in our past testing that Kingston modules typically offer great performance, and we can tell you right now that this trend has not changed with this set of HyperX 4GB DDR3-1600 sticks on the test bench today. In fact, you will be shocked at how far these Kingston modules can be pushed. Without tipping our hand just yet, let's just say these sticks can run toe-to-toe with industry flagship 2133MHz modules with ease, and at less than half the price. How's that for special? Read on to find out just how far they go.

Gainward GeForce GT 240 Review
Techspot posted Gainward GeForce GT 240 Review

Last October Nvidia released a brand new graphics card aimed at the budget market, the GeForce GT 220, and unlike the shady GTS 250 this was actually a new product that deserved to be part of the 200 series. Built using a last generation manufacturing process and given the codename GT216, you'd be forgiven to be unaware of all this, as the 40nm GeForce GT 220 turned out to be a dud.

In terms of performance we were disappointed to find the theoretical bandwidth of 25.3GB/s placed this card alongside the old GeForce 9500 GT. Not everyone can afford a high-end graphics card, of course, so we welcomed the addition for the sake of competition. But this is where things got even more ridiculous. Nvidia decided to slap an $80 price tag on the GT 220, even when the far superior Radeon HD 4670 from ATI had been retailing for less for quite some time.

Prices have dropped slightly since then, but our opinion on it hasn't changed much. Needless to say our expectations for the new GeForce GT 240 are underwhelming, but that's not to say we won't give it a fair go. The card is said to be considerably more powerful than the GT 220, though in terms of performance it should still sit well below the GeForce 9800 GT. We really hope the tweaked version from Gainward that we are reviewing today can surprise us, so let's check it out in more detail.

Titan Skalli TTC-NC05TZ/NPW (RB) CPU Cooler Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Titan Skalli TTC-NC05TZ/NPW (RB) CPU Cooler

Mythological naming schemes are nothing new in the PC community as of late. A few companies have taken to this and are trying to continue building a virtual “cooling army” of mythological warriors and beasts. Titan is just one of those companies. And my last look at one of their products was when they had sampled the Fenrir CPU cooler. As I said then, I felt that Titan had hit the nail on the head with the Fenrir and did a great job of cooling my T.E.C.C. test bench.

Titan has again allowed me to sample another in their lineup, this time a cooler designed with the LGA1156 i5 and i7 processors in mind. The goal was to keep all the best attributes of the Fenrir cooler and reduce its overall size. The naming of this new cooler is based off the Old Norse name of Sköll. Depending on which myth you read, the name refers to either the wolf who chases the horse, which tows the chariot containing the sun across the sky. In another, the name refers to both Fenrir and or his son. Quite appropriate naming of the newest edition.

ASUS shows with the P7P55D-E Premium its first mainboard that features USB 3.0 as well as 6 GB/s SATA. Furthermore they seem to litterally wait for extreme overclockers to set new world records due to the massive 32 phases power design.
