Pro-Clockers posted a review on the Scythe Andy Samurai Master CPU Cooler

The Andy Samurai Master has an unusual name and a new shape uncommon to fans of Scythe. Honestly, I have no idea where they got the name for. The only thing I will say is this cooler is a combination of West meets East. I guess the Andy is the "West" and the Samurai is the "East". That's all I can gather from it. The shape is a two tier design linked by six nickel covered copper heat pipes. The size and design of it looks to be able to perform really well. It also shares some features of another Scythe cooler, the Infinity. Does it cool as well as the Infinity? Let us run it through some tests and find out.

PCStats posted an ABIT FATAL1TY AN9 32X nForce 590 SLI Motherboard Review

Scanning through ABIT's product lineup of late is like reading the menu at an enthusiasts restaurant - it's easy to see that ABIT is taking its new role seriously and producing performance oriented motherboards that may just rival the great LanParty series from DFI. Heat pipe based chipset cooling systems that operate silently, board level motherboard cooling fans, a peppering of LEDs for that special effect, outstanding voltage options in the BIOS and good overclocking ability - ABIT has crossed its i's and dotted its t's

Bigbruin.com posted a review on the IWILL ZMAXdp Dual Opteron SFF Barebones System

The IWILL ZMAXdp Dual Opteron Small Form Factor Barebones System may not be the latest or greatest, but it is capable of providing some serious computing power in an attractive small form factor configuration that doesn't skimp on extras. With the potential for two dual-core Opterons (effectively quad-core), 2GB dual channel DDR, SATA RAID 0, and many other modern features, it is a work horse disguised as a pony.

PC Modding Malaysia posted a Thermaltake TMG A2 and TMG I2 Review

To round up stuffs, we would say the TMG A2 and I2 are definitely quite some performer for their price. Though the design is quite normal looking and pretty common, Thermaltake managed to round out its new TMG series of products, advertising them as they should work, and it definitely is so for the TMG A2 and I2. Packed in solid packagings, come with a few case badges, silent and good enough to cool down processors decently thrown in some overclocks and quite some voltage, not to mention it is actually very easy to be installed, Thermaltake had once again hit the market with some good products. Rated to be priced around 33USD to 38USD over some international online sales site, the TMG A2 and I2 is certainly something worth putting attention on for enthusiasts.

techPowerUp posted a review on the Akasa integral fusion External HDD enclosure

The Akasa integral fusion combines two devices into one sleek functional device - an USB hard drive enclosure and a multi format card reader. It may not be the fastest enclosure for your money and the software may be a bit crude, but it gets the job done - that is what counts.

APH Networks takes a look at the OCZ Secure Digital Dual 2GB USB Flash Drive

Whether you realize it or not, Secure Digital (SD) flash memory cards are extremely popular. With implementation into majority of today's consumer electronics such as digital cameras, PDAs, and more, virtually every flash memory manufacturer produces or markets SD cards. Being that, even though many modern computers have SD card readers, it's not necessarily true that every single computer has one. Let's say you were on vacation and you filled up your memory card in your digital camera. A computer happens to be lying around, but there's nothing you can do because you don't have a digital camera cable, and coincidentally no card reader as well. Now if only you could fit that SD card into the computer's USB port... wait, it's actually possible!

LAN Addict checks out Tagan's 1100W powerhouse of a PSU, the TurboJet TG1100-U96.

On paper, the TurboJet TG1100-U96 is very impressive. So was the Titanic, and we all know how that ended! That is why I installed the TurboJet TG1100-U96 into my gaming system and gave it several weeks to show its stuff. I played a lot of Neverwinter Nights 2, ran full system backups and virus scans, and fired off multiple benchmarking programs simultaneously.

Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the Logitech ChillStream PC Game Controller

Today I'll be looking at a brand new controller design from Logitech known as the 'ChillStream'. As the name implies, this product is made to cool. But how? It's just a gamepad. Looks can be deceiving and although this looks like just a quality gamepad, it's actually a quality gamepad with a fan built in to deliver a cool breeze (or a chilled stream of air) to the users palms allowing you to game for hours and hours and avoid C.G.P.S (clammy gaming palm syndrome). Let's take a closer look at this unique new product from Logitech.

Neoseeker published a review of Asus' EN7950GT card

Power consumption for the ASUS card is the lowest among the four tested. This is an unexpected result, as both use the same chipset but the XFX7950 GT is passively cooled while the EN7950 GT is cooled by a fan.The EN7950 GT uses 60 Watts less power under load than the X1900XT 256. This is a very important fact for anyone planning on using two video cards. A CrossFire setup with the X1900XT 256 would require a much more powerful power supply than an SLI'd EN7950 GT or the XFX 7950 GT setup.

hi-techreviews.com posted a review on the Antec Nine Hundred

The new Antec Nine Hundred is billed as the "Ultimate Gaming Machine" and one thing is for certain is that this case has enough fans in it keep a sweaty Legionnaire happy. With a total of nine bays you should also not be in need of extra space for hard drives or optical drives either. So come on along as we check this bad boy out and see what we think.

3D Game Man posted a review on the CoolIT Eliminator CPU Cooler (TEC)

This is CoolIT's second Thermal Electric Cooler (TEC); the first one was the Freezone. I've video reviewed the Freezone and thought it was excellent, but I like the Eliminator even more. They've incorporated everything into one unit, which makes it easier to install than the Freezone. You can also manually adjust the fan speed to suit your needs. It's definitely a great alternative to some complicated water cooling setups. Watch the Video to find out more...

OCIA.net takes a look at the OCZ GameXStream 850w SLI-Ready PSU in their latest review.

It's no secret that today's hardware is demanding more power than ever before. For instance, those interested in running two 8800GTX cards in SLI are looking at a bare minimum of 750 watts in the power supply department. Factor in your processor(s) demands, hard drive(s) and watercooling gear and that 750 watt minimum seems a little less inviting. Granted, many of us are not fortunate enough to have the budget to support such extreme hardware addictions, there is one thing that we all should consider when purchasing a new power supply: future-proof.

I4U News reviews the Foxconn NVIDIA 8800 GTX Graphics Card.

The thing that is different with the Foxconn 8800 GTX is the bundle. Most of the 8800 GTX cards don't include anything with them as far as extras or software. Foxconn includes a nice USB game pad, VirtualDrive v10 and RestoreIT v7.0. The addition of a USB game pad was a nice touch as was the other software, but I would rather see a nice current game title included in the bundle, but that is nit picky considering none of the other 8800 GTX cards I have reviewed to date include anything in the bundle much less three items.
