Antec Signature 850W power supply Review
Bit-Tech published a review of Antec's Signature 850W power supply

While we don't like the cables so much because they look ugly and they miss a few features, technically they are very good and between them and the modular connectors they are both of high quality to match the rest of the unit. Antec has pulled through in that regard and instead of just going to Delta, telling it to build it a PSU and slapping an Antec badge on it; it's thought about the product as a whole.

The extra efficiency won't offset the extra cost, but £135 for the hardware you get in the black box isn't particularly bad value. Whether you go for this or the recently lower priced Cooler Master Ultimate UCP 900W will get you an excellent PSU either way -- if we had reviewed the Cooler Master a week later at £146 and not £160+ it would have been recommended too. With regards to the Antec Signature 850W, the bottom line is that if you do want to splash out on a truly premium purchase, this is certainly one to keep high up on the short list.

Eagle iNeo I-NA205UE 2.5”/3.5” SATA to USB/eSATA Docking Station Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Eagle iNeo I-NA205UE 2.5”/3.5” SATA to USB/eSATA Docking Station with Enclosure.

Although, the 2.5’’ hard drives may not have the same performance as the 3.5’’ desktop drives, they are an excellent choice for data storage on the go. Currently, you can find 500GB of 2.5’’ SATA hard drive as cheap as $110. It’s hard to argue any other better means of portable storage. Simply put a 500GB 2.5’’ HDD to an enclosure and it’s ready to carry any data you wish to throw at it.

There are many manufactures that sell 2.5’’ SATA enclosures. Often, these enclosures are basically the same. They are a tad bigger than the hard drive and usually are made with aluminum for better cooling. They usually will come with a mini or full USB port for data transfer. Some manufactures even have an enclosure that will also be able to use as internal drive with a simple dock.

GIGABYTE GK-K8000 GHOST Gaming Keyboard Review
TweakTown posted a review on the GIGABYTE GK-K8000 GHOST Gaming Keyboard

Without even taking it out of the box, you can tell this is a different class of keyboard all together. It weighs a ton; well, feels like it! - If you ever get your ass kicked at a LAN party, just start swinging this baby whilst screaming "BOOM! HEADSHOT!". It’s a lethal weapon, really.

But on to the un-boxing we go. After removing the outer shroud of packaging we are met by a row of orange keys peeking at us through a cut-out in the cardboard. I love it when companies do stuff like this; it just teases you even more as to what’s inside and gives the whole experience a much more anticipated feeling to it.

Lian Li 750W Maxima Force Series Power Supply Review
Bigbruin.com posted a review on the Lian Li 750W Maxima Force Series Power Supply

While I have been familiar with and impressed by cases from Lian Li for years, I did not know exactly what to expect from one of their power supplies. I assumed that the same high standards and attention to detail would be applied, and the 750W Maxima Force Series power supply confirmed that. It is a well made unit designed to serve in a variety of system configurations.

Nova Overslide Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Nova Overslide mouse mat

Nova recently impressed us with their Slider X mouse, though it had it's few annoyances. Now the company has been kind enough to send us the accompanying mouse mat, designed specifically to improve the Slider X while working well with others too. Containing "Ceramic Micro Balls" and a flip tone surface, will it impress as much as the Slider did? Let's see.

Thermalright True Copper Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Heatsink - Limited Edition
DragonSteelMods posted a review on the Thermalright True Copper Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Heatsink

AcousticPC has sent me over the Thermalright True Copper Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Heatsink - Limited Edition, or TRUE Copper for review. This thing is huge, coming in at 1900Grams or about 4lbs, it's enough to bust some motherboards, but if your board can handle it then get it as it will provide the best cooling performance of any air cooled CPU cooler on the market today, and most likely in the foreseeable future as well.

Battle of GPU Transcoders: ATI Avivo Converter and NVIDIA Badaboom
PC Perspective takes a look at the ATI Avivo Converter and NVIDIA Badaboom GPU video transcoders

Now that both NVIDIA and AMD each have its own GPU-based transcoding application, I thought it was time to get a head-to-head comparison going and see which of the two software applications is really the best for consumer usage. While NVIDIA's offering will run you $30 for the full version, the ATI software is completely free. Is that all that matters though?

QNAP TS-509 Pro Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the QNAP TS-509 Pro

QNAP's latest NAS device is built around a full featured PC. As processor a Socket775 1.6 GHz Celeron is used. Upgrading the SO-DIMM memory should be easy too since QNAP was so kind to leave a memory slot unpopulated. The new hardware greatly improves the processing power resulting in much better transfer rates over the dual Gigabit interfaces.

BlueAnt Supertooth 3 Review
Maximum CPU has posted it's review of BlueAnt's Supertooth 3 Bluetooth car kit

Laws requiring cell phones to be used in conjunction with a hands free device while driving are becoming increasingly popular, so many people are forced to use a Bluetooth device or similar. However, Bluetooth headsets are not for everyone. The BlueAnt Supertooth 3 fits into this niche perfectly. This Bluetooth car kit can be clipped to the visor or mounted any number of other places, so those who prefer not to have a headset on their ear can still enjoy it.

G.Skill 2x2GB PC2 6400 (F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B) Review
Overclockers Online posted a review on the G.Skill 2x2GB PC2 6400 (F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B

With the relatively slow adoption of DDR3 it's nice to see great DDR2 kits still being released. G.Skill has a great line of memory with the PI series and they have improved even further with the Black editions. The Black edition brings latency timings down even further while still retaining the low power requirements making these an ideal memory upgrade for those with a limited FSB CPU or motherboard.

ZOTAC nForce 630i-ITX WiFi LGA775 Powered Mini-ITX Review
TweakTown posted a review on the ZOTAC nForce 630i-ITX WiFi – LGA775 Powered Mini-ITX

A third on the Mini-ITX front this week; it seems as if this micro standard is getting a huge boost. So far we have seen VIA really pushing EPIA for the card PC market, however, Mini-ITX has a home in the home, specifically, the Home Theatre and Digital Home PC segment. When it comes to compact designs, Mini-ITX is truly the ultimate in Mini PC’s. While we have smaller standards like Pico-ITX, their design is simply too small with limiting features, so Mini-ITX is the perfect compromise.

Today ZOTAC has its newest kid on the block based around the nForce 630i Intel LGA775 chipset. What this means is one main thing; Core 2 baby. So while small, it’s capable of harnessing some real power. Today we test it out to see just how much punch this board really does have.

Thermaltake Bigwater 780e ESA Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Thermaltake Bigwater 780e ESA

Cooling your expensive CPU is an important task and the level of cooling you choose can either make or break your system performance. If you're overclocking, it can mean the difference between a minor OC and one that can give you major bragging rights. Air cooling has come a long way, but water cooling has come even farther. With CPU's running faster you get higher heat, and air is okay for some people, happy with a decent overclcok, but if you're going for the gusto, you might need a little more.

In the never ending search for entry level kits that satisfy the cooling needs of the CPU and are easy to set up for the beginner, we obtained a Thermaltake Bigwater 780e ESA water cooling kit. We're going to run it on an Intel Q6600 Quad and see how high we can clock it, or at least until we break a decent sweat worrying about climbing temps.
