CoolTechZone.com has posted a Logitech VX Revolution Notebook Mouse review

When Logitech first launched the MX and VX desktop and notebook mice duo earlier this year, it took the entire industry by surprise. As Logitech keeps innovating, our expectations as users have considerably gone up. What were once used to be mere commodities in the grand scheme of components, they are now considered to be valuable accessories that enhance our computing experience as a whole.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Thermaltake Media LAB

The remote control itself can work as a mouse, and a virtual keyboard is included, but I found the controller had a bit of a mind of its own and I couldn't get much in the way of accuracy at all - but to be fair that's not really what it's designed for. It is also possible that my unit was faulty though, as it tended to want to float to the top of the screen. It worked best when inside the bundled software, where clicking up, down, left and right sufficed - just like in Media Center.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Kodak G600 Printer Dock

Kodak as a company is one of the founding fathers of photography, but for a while seemed to have lost its way in the transition from film to digital. In recent years though, it seems to have regained direction. Rather than go for the high-end camera market, Kodak focuses on making digital photography easy, which for the less technologically inclined it still isn’t.

The TechZone has posted a review of the Samsung SyncMaster 960BF LCD Monitor.

The Samsung SyncMaster 960BF is an all white 19 inch LCD monitor. The panel sports a 4ms pixel response time, 700:1 contrast ratio, a highly
adjustable base, and runs at a native resolution of 1280x1024. The unit itself is anchored by a large heavy base, and the bezel is all white with light
gray highlights. This colour scheme is reminiscent of a Mac Mini , and this monitor along with a Mac keyboard and mouse would like quite nice next to such a unit. In the PC world, it's difficult to find an all white computer. The closest one can come is beige or off-white. As for those who have silver or black computers, well that is a matter of wanting a well performing monitor versus wanting something that matches.

Elite Bastards put up a PowerColor Radeon X1650 XT video card review

To be perfectly honest, the assertion that the Radeon X1650 XT runs on a core called RV560 is really quite fallacious in the extreme. RV560 is, in fact, the exact same RV570 core which we've seen power Radeon X1950 PRO boards, albeit with some functionality disabled.

Thus, we find this core sporting the same 80 nanometre manufacturing process and eight vertex shader units. Where it loses out to the Radeon X1950 PRO is with regard to pixel shader units and ROPs - One quad of pixel pipelines is disabled for 'RV560', giving it twenty-four pixel shader units against thirty-six on RV570, and just eight texturing units against twelve in the core's big brother. Four ROPs have also been switched off here, leaving us again with eight rather than twelve.

bit-tech.net has posted a review on the Seagate 500GB eSATA drive

In the past, external storage has been limited by the speed of the interface and this has put many users off the idea of an external storage device. We have a look at one of Seagate's first eSATA drives on the market to find out whether speed is no longer an issue.

Legit Reviews posted a review on the Gennum nXZEN VoIP Bluetooth Headset

We paired up this headset with our normal cadre of cell phones: Treo 50, Treo 700w, Motorola RAZR V3, and a T-mobile MDA Vario. They all paired well and easily. The Gennum nXZEN gave us pretty good range away from the handset. I was able to stay in contact with my caller when walking almost 20 feet away from the phone. The headset's main action button has the ability to redial your last call, swap incoming/outgoing calls, as well as transferring calls from the headset to the handset - pretty standard stuff for headsets these days...

APH Networks has posted a review on the OCZ Special Ops Edition Urban Elite PC6400 2x1GB DDR2 RAM

Buying RAM is not like buying a computer case: Looks are usually out of the question. However, it doesn't mean that this very factor cannot affect sales. Instead of the plain old black-blocks-and-green-background sticks, it could actually look pretty exciting if heatsink on RAM were designed with thought and effort put into it. In terms of overclocking, however, it seems that the amount of influence memory heatsinks have is disputable when compared to high performance memory chips -- but with windowed cases, wouldn't it be nice to have the best of both worlds? Something that looks different, and performs differently. Let's take a look at the OCZ Special Ops Edition Urban Elite PC6400 2x1GB kit today.

HotHardware.com evaluate the features, bundle, and performance of EVGA's e-GeForce 7950 GX2 card

As you would expect form a card with a pair of G71 GPUs and 1GB of frame buffer memory running in tandem, the EVGA e-GeForce 7950 GX2 performed much like a pair of GeForce 7900 GT cards running in SLI mode. The EVGA e-GeForce 7950 GX2 was clearly much faster than any of the other single-GPU based cards we tested, and it traded the top spot in most tests with the 7900 GT SLI setup.

techPowerUp posted a review on the Lian Li PC-A10B

The PC-A10 is a fantastic case. All the little things that Lian Li does over and over again make this case stand out from the crowd. The anti-vibration mounts for the fans, drives and side panels, the removable motherboard tray, PSU tray and drive cages, as well as the tool-less design make this case a pleasure to work with.

I can easily recommend this SpotCool for anyone with a motherboard that's looking for that perfect cooling system to fit into tight spots and cool that certain hot area (yea, that's just about everyone!).

Madshrimps posted a Seasonic M12 Modular 600W Power Supply Review

Gone are the cheapo power supplies of yesteryear. Processors today from both Intel and AMD require a power supply that can deliver a steady diet of power. The Seasonic name has become the standard of barrier in power supply from a distant land, China. We are looking into one of the new M12 Modular series today rated at 600 watts from Seasonic.

MBReview.com has released their latest review on the Foxconn 975X7AB-8EKRS2H motherboard

The Foxconn 975X7AB-8EKRS2H ships with an improved BIOS in comparison to previous versions of both this same board, as well as all other products we have seen in the past. Foxconn has cleaned up the BIOS and removed several of the unneeded features.

Tweaknews.net posted a review on the Logitech G7 Wireless Laser Gaming Mouse

The G7 in my mind should be standard equipment for any computer user that wants to truly enjoy his/her computer with complete control, accuracy and problem free longevity you want for your money. Kudos to Logitech with their quick swap battery technology. Finally a wireless mouse that isn't heavy to use.

Virtual-Hideout posted an ASUS EAX1650XT 256MB PCI-E Graphics Card Review

Game play was great and the image quality was sharp and crisp. The upped megahertz of the GPU really pays off along with the GDDR3 RAM. When comparing the ASUS EAX1650XT with the X1600Pro, each card having 256MB RAM, you can see how well the 1650XT outperforms the 1600Pro

MadPenguin.org has posted a new way to introduce Linux

While I would certainly not wish to speak for everyone, I do try to introduce Linux to just about anyone that will listen. And even though I would rather avoid using the “XGL whiz-bang gloss” to do so, I think, for a long time, the bootable Linux CD was a seriously effective way to get the word out.

Futurelooks checks out big flash storage from OCZ

The first thing someone will likely think when they lay eyes on the OCZ Technologies Mega Kart is that it looks like a credit card. Well very true indeed, the OCZ Mega Kart is designed to be similar in size to that of a credit card so you can carry it in your wallet. With 8 GB of storage bulging from your pocket, don't be surprised if you get comments filled with innuendo.

The Xoxide X-Static 2 (silver) PC Case is a sharp compact gamming case that blends function with style.

MetkuMods is taking a closer look at QPAD's new hard surface gaming mousepads

Computer gamers around the world know that the accurate laser mice work best on high quality mousepads. Movements are fast and accurate when the mouse glides easily over the surface. We've seen pads made from aluminum, steel, fiber, glass and plastics and every single of those have had strongpoints over the others. There are also differences in surfaces - other pads are smooth and other rough. Both pads tested this time are made of plastic and have a rough surface.
