Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 64gb USB 3.0 Flash Drive Review
DragonSteelMods posted a review on the Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 64gb USB 3.0 Flash Drive

The DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 has read speeds of 80MB/sec and 60MB/sec for writes when using USB 3.0 and 30MB/sec for both read and write operating on a USB 2.0 connection. In case you were wondering; yes it is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 connectors. Depending on the power output of the USB 2.0 connection, you may need to use the included Y-split cable for powering the DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0.

NZXT Phantom Steel Full Tower Case Review
DragonSteelMods posted a review on the NZXT Phantom Steel Full Tower Case

This heavyweight is composed of steel and plastic. Designed with the PC enthusiast in mind it includes dual radiator support, quad watercooling cutouts, and an integrated fan controller with up to five 20W channels. NZXT provides plenty of room inside the Phantom as it can accommodate larger heat sinks, graphics cards and E-ATX motherboards. In addition the case supports seven hard drives and five 5.25" devices. Absent from the Phantom are 3.5" external bays, so say goodbye to your floppy drive; if there are any people who still use them.

Axle GeForce GTX 460 ACE Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the Axle GeForce GTX 460 ACE video card

The GeForce GTX 460 comes in many forms, shapes and sizes, but pretty much all of the cards out there are based on the NVIDIA reference design. That by itself is a rock solid design with no compromises at all. However we are gurus and we like to see things with a little niche and that x-factor. As such it's always with the greatest pleasure that we review the more customized products.

Axle joins in on that trend as well as they recently released a factory overclocked model with an Arctic cooling Accelero Xtreme PRO cooler sitting on top of that GPU.

Corsair A70 Performance CPU Cooler Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Corsair A70 Performance CPU Cooler

Corsair is a company known for their memory, but recently they have gotten into the CPU cooler market and have created a great series of cooling, both air and water-cooled. Today we have the opportunity to check out Corsairs top performing air cooler, the Corsair A70. About a month ago we had the chance to check out their other air cooler, the A50. How well will they perform against each other? Read on further to find out.

Ozone Oxid Gaming Headset Review
OCC has published a review on the Ozone Oxid Gaming Headset

The first and main issue is the microphone quality. It was very much below par, and with even the slightest compression, such as in online gaming, your voice becomes garbled and intelligible. Next was its ergonomics. Despite being a light-weight headset, the half-way clamping design of the ears make them rest awkwardly on the top of your ear. Aside from the comfort issue, this design makes it easy for the headset to fall off of your head.

Mushkin Mulholland 16GB and 32GB Flash Drive Review
OCC has published a review on the Mushkin Mulholland 16GB and 32GB Flash Drive

Looking at the Mushkin Mulholland drive, I was very much impressed to see how well the 16 and 32 GB versions performed compared to the other drives. They were able to perform quite well for their capacity, and I was surprised to see how close they were to the Super Talent DH 2GB in the real world testing. This is going to prove to be a very valuable aspect of the drive, especially when you are looking at such a large capacity flash drive and you know that you are going to be using the drive for storage for some larger files.

Thermaltake BlacX 5G HDD Docking Station Review
Techgage.com takes a look at Thermaltake's latest hard drive dock, the BlacX 5G.

It's probably clear by now that USB 3.0 is one of the best things to happen to external storage, but when it comes to choosing between the available docks and enclosures, it's tough. One of the best options might be Thermaltake's latest entry to its highly-successful BlacX line, the 5G. It brings looks, stability, and of course, performance.

MSI N460GTX HAWK GeForce GTX 460 Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the MSI N460GTX HAWK GeForce GTX 460 video card

The slew of NVIDIA GTX 460 video cards that hit the market in the last month was impressive. Everybody wanted as much of the pie as they could get, which was not surprising given the level of performance that the GTX460 offers for the cost. On almost every level, the GTX 460 was a game-changer for Fermi. Some vendors weren't satisfied with putting a label on the reference design, and MSI is one of them. The N460GTX HAWK that Benchmark Reviews is looking at today is a brand new board design with advanced features no one else can match. They also adapted their Twin Frozr II cooling design for the HAWK, and bumped up the heatpipe count to four. To top it all off, the new version of MSI Afterburner can control voltage levels for three diferent subsystems. This could be the GTX460 that all the hard core overclockers have been waiting for.

The Arctic M551 Gaming mouse combines value and functionality. The M551 is for the gamer on a budget. Arctic loaded the M551 with ultra high sensitivity. This can be toggled on the fly to 800, 1600, or 2400 DPI. The M551 has a total of five functional buttons.

Gateway FX 6840-01e Desktop Gaming System Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Gateway FX 6840-01e Desktop Gaming System

Gateway released a few updates to their FX desktop line earlier this year. The FX represents Gateway's high end gaming division and comes in a variety of configurations with base prices ranging from the sub-$1,000 mark all the way up to $3,000 (although the high end system is last year's model and should be discontinued at this point based on its aging hardware). Manufactured PCs aren't for everyone, but the truth of the matter is that not everyone has the time, patience or know-how to build their own computer. Today we will be taking a look at the entry model FX from Gateway, the 6840-01e. With an MSRP of $999.99, does the budget FX model have what it takes to earn our respect as a gaming machine?
