ThermalTake iFlash + 120mm Cooling Fan Review
OCModShop posted a review on the ThermalTake iFlash Plus 120mm Cooling Fan

One of the first products to come from the pre-fabbed modding scene were LED fans. At the time these clear fans with multi-colored LEDs were absolutely fascinating, and the clear fans were much more interesting to look at than standard matte black fans. These fans gave us a reason to take up a Dremel and cut holes in our computer cases for windows.

ThermalTake has given us a reason to stare aimlessly through our computer case windows again with their iFlash Plus series of computer fans. These clear fans have onboard circuitry to spell out messages through its array of tiny LEDs, and is one of the most awesome case visuals I've seen in a long time.

Apiotek eSATA Express Card Adapter Review
Mikhailtech posted Apiotek eSATA Express Card Adapter Review

The great thing about removable storage is you can take it anywhere. Flash drives and even smaller 2.5" drives require nothing more than an empty USB port or two and voila - data at your fingertips. However both of these storage methods are still limited in their capacities and are significantly more expensive per-gigabyte than their full sized brethren. To have a truly mobile library, a more spacious 3.5" drive is required. Nowadays enclosures all fit the USB2.0 standard, but more and more are beginning to make use of eSATA as well. The latter is just as fast as internal SATA and provided the computer has an eSATA port, data transfer and storage can be done externally with the speed of an internal drive.

OCC Roundup: Motherboards of 2007
OCC has published a motherboard roundup

Whether you're trying to sustain decent framerates in the middle of a frantic gaming session, like the option of running large tasks in the background, such as video or audio encoding, dabble in a bit of photo retouching, or even just want to be able to browse the internet without delays, any use of a computer can benefit from the raw performance of the system. This performance can be attributed to the CPU, RAM, and motherboard. The CPU and RAM configurations were not always the same, so let's look at the reviews to see what results can be achieved.

Silverstone DA700 PSU 700w Review
Xtremecomputing posted a review on the Silverstone DA700 PSU 700w

For this review I will be looking at a product from highly respected pc hardware manufacturer SilverStone. The product up for review is in fact another power supply, not your “normal” run of the mill power supply as it is the DA700 a 700 watt power supply from the Decathlon range. With the DA700 coming from a company with a reputation like SilverStone has I am expecting nothing but good results, but I guess only time will tell.

XFX 8800GT XXX 256MB Alpha Dog Review
Bjorn3D posted a review on the XFX 8800GT XXX 256MB Alpha Dog.

There's a saying that goes 'The best things in life are free'. While that may be true, the best performing video cards are the exact opposite of free. They are downright expensive. So when a video card that performs every bit as fast as the big boys has a sticker price close to half of what they cost, it gets a lot of attention. In case you don't know I am referring to the 8800GT from Nvidia. This amazing card has brought performance levels never before seen in the sub $300 price range. But even that is out of the reach for many people. For the rest of us our boat has arrived! Introducing the XFX 8800GT XXX 256MB Alpha Dog video card. Difficult to pronounce in one breath name aside, this is the video card you want to own. With its single slot cooling design and smaller, more energy efficient 65nm design this card has everything a gamer could want. Now let's see if it's as good in real life as it is on paper.

Corsair TX750 750W Power Supply Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the Corsair TX750 750W power supply.

This power supply completely bucks the assumption that the most stable power supplies are reserved to those few who have over $200 to spend on a single upgrade. Not only does the TX750 offer performance which is head and shoulders above some highly-regarded 850W units but it is priced at a mind-boggling $150CAD.
