Noctua NF-P12 120MM Fan Review
DragonSteelMods.com posted a review on the Noctua NF-P12 120MM Fan

We've reviewed quite a few fans here at DragonSteelMods lately and today we've got yet another one, but this one is a bit different, it's from Noctua. At first glance the NF-P12 looks like other Noctua fans, but upon closer inspection you'll notice it has what appears to be serrated fan blades. The serrations are called Vortex-Control Notches actually and they help to keep the NF-P12 running quietly and efficiently at all of the available speeds.

ThermalTake Xaser VI case review
DV Hardware has published a review of ThermalTake's new supertower case - the Xaser VI.

ThermalTake is rolling out a couple of new supertower cases for computer enthusiasts. The firm has prepped a new Xaser VI case which will replace the old Xaser III and there's also the Armor+ which is an updated version of the Armor case. In this review I'm taking a closer look at the Xaser VI which is a very big and bold chassis with a pretty extraordinary design. ThermalTake seems to have high hopes of this case as they released it in eigth different versions! There are two base models: there's a black edition with red accents that uses a steel chassis and there's also a silver aluminum version that features black accents.

ASUS PG221 22-inch Wide-Screen Review
Techgage posted a review of ASUS' feature-packed PG221 monitor.

Smaller displays don't need to lack features, and ASUS proves this with their PG221 22-inch wide-screen. It boasts such specs as 2ms GTG, 2000:1 and stellar design. Where its unique though, is with it's large subwoofer. Yes, we said subwoofer! Do the features make up for it's higher price?

Ultra m998 Aluminum Mid-Tower ATX Case ULT40069 Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Ultra m998 Aluminum Mid-Tower ATX Case ULT40069

The Ultra m998 is so named for the exalted m998 HMMWV (better known as the Humvee): a lightweight, high performance, four wheel drive, air transportable & droppable, land mobility system. For comparison: the Ultra's m998 is constructed mainly of lightweight aluminum and plastic parts, sports four optional castors (wheels), a removable motherboard tray, the ability to remove every panel, and also boasts a roomy interior. In concept at least the m998 sounds akin to its name sake's description. Benchmark Reviews however wants to see if Ultra's m998 Aluminum Mid-Tower ATX Case ULT40069 can live up to this legendary reputation, so we've taken this baby for a test drive.

Cooler Master Cosmo 1000 Chassis Review
InsideHW.com posted Cooler Master Cosmo 1000 Chassis Review

All in all, we might have sounded a little too harsh - this case is top-quality nevertheless. The potential issue here is that the target market is a little too narrow for the case to sell well. In our opinion, the only users that might find interest in this case are: one, hardcore overclockers with one or more high-end GPUs and likely a water-cooling system, and two, those users who don't think twice about paying a lot for excellent design, which this case really has.

Thermaltake iXoft Notebook Cooling Pad Review
Virtual-Hideout posted Thermaltake iXoft Notebook Cooling Pad Review

To be perfectly honest, I really thought the iXoft was going to end up like so many other items that are based on great ideas: just a great idea, but not much truth to it... you know, the whole "if it sounds too good to be true" shebang. As you can see from the results in the table above, was I ever wrong! I don't know about you, but I really like the idea of using my laptop - IN my lap - without burning myself. I mean, seriously: would you rather have something almost 104 or 73 against your skin? The last time I checked, 100 is about as hot as the water that comes out of the kitchen sink. Unless you've lost all sense of feeling, 104 is way too hot for anyone to handle against their skin for any more than a second or two. 73 is more like the ocean in Hilo, Hawaii at this time of year. Hmmmm... I don't see much of a choice here

Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 Review
Bit-Tech published a review of Sapphire's Radeon HD 3870* graphics card

As I said during my Radeon HD 3870 architectural review, I’m a big fan of the product and I believe that Sapphire’s implementation is a good one. While Sapphire hasn’t changed much in terms of card design—it’s essentially a reference card wearing Sapphire-branded make up—the company has included a comprehensive bundle in the box. And when you factor in that most of what’s included in the box is useful, the deal just sweetens itself a bit.

The one thing that’s plaguing both not just AMD’s partners though, but also Nvidia’s is availability of these newly released graphics cards. Sapphire’s Radeon HD 3870 card is currently unavailable for purchase at any of the major UK online retailers, but it’s on pre-order at a very tempting ?140 (inc. VAT).

If you consider that Nvidia’s GeForce 8800 GT is starting at around ?170—and in some cases going over and above ?200—Sapphire’s card looks to be pretty good value. Once you add in the good overclocking headroom, the deal almost seems too good to be true. Thankfully it’s not (as long as Sapphire can meet the demand for the product) and, if you can find the product in stock, I wholeheartedly recommend this card.
