Bit-Tech posted a review on the Abit AN9 Fatality

Unfortunately Abit has gone for the "single PCI slot underneath the second PCI-Express x16 slot" again, which is confusing since Mr. Wendel has "influence on the design" of the board. Since he also endorses the Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty series, you'd think that he would make sure you can run high end SLI graphics cards which usually involve dual slot coolers, along with a PCI Fatal1ty X-Fi sound card.

GideonTech.com posted a review on the Targus 17" XL Notebook Backpack

Targus is a company that is well known for their bags and backpacks as well as security items for laptops. I recently purchased a new laptop that has a 17" screen, and until today I really had not been taking it out of the house. This is mostly because I had no convenient way of protecting it against the the horrors that await my pretty new laptop from the brutal outside. My old laptop bag was made by Targus and has seen its share of action over the last 7 years. Even though it was still perfectly usable after all this time (albeit, a little dirty), it was limited to a 14" screen. Fortunately for me, Targus was nice enough to send over one of their 17" XL Notebook Backpacks.

Modders-Inc has a new review online on the Logisys Blue Acrylic/Clear Yin Yang Case

The clear Yin Yang Case combines the beauty of colors with the contemporary sense of clarity in the form of ancient Chinese Yin Yang curve. With a clear front door, it adds more protection for your valuable drives and more elegance and style. The light transparent color gives the case a fresh look in the beige dominated PC world. You have to see it to appreciate its beauty.

PC Stats posted a beginners guide on the Windows XP Safe Mode

In this article, PCstats will explain how Windows XP's various 'Safe Modes' work, how you access them and how they can help you troubleshoot various software and operating system issues. Now, isn't this a handy topic!? Safe Mode has been a component of the Windows operating system since the days of Windows 95. The basic idea is to allow the user (or technical support worker) access to the windows interface without loading any unnecessary drivers or software.

ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Cooler Master Hyper TX AMD CPU Cooler

A little while ago we took a look at the Cooler Master Eclipse CPU cooler. While it had a very unique design its' cooling was not up to par with other coolers out there. Well today we are going to check out the Hyper TX from Cooler Master, which has a fairly basic design, but offers exceptional cooling and easy installation. Sorry to all you Intel fans out there, but we are taking a look at the AMD version. Cooler Master does make an Intel version that will fit Intel CPU's including the new Core 2 Duo's. So let's take a look.

Virtual-Hideout posted a Buffalo 1GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive review

Folks, it's a flash drive and not a super computer, and with 1GB of storage you can transfer files easily from computer to computer. The main reason for the review is to see how fast it can transfer that data, because, of course, the one who can do it the fastest gets the bragging rights.

Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the Sapphire Ultimate X1950PRO 256MB Graphics Card

As you can see in the benchmark results, the Sapphire X1950Pro performed quite well and is really competitive with the X1950XTX, which has 512MB of GDDR4 RAM versus the Pro model of 256MB of GDDR3. I feel that with an extra 256MB of RAM, this would've beaten the X1950XTX.
