PC Power and Cooling Silencer Mk II 950W PSU Review
PC Perspective posted a review on the PC Power and Cooling Silencer Mk II 950W PSU

Finally – a Silencer that is relatively quiet! Check out our latest review to see if the new Silencer Mk II lives up to PC Power & Cooling's reputation for legendary quality and rock-solid performance.

The Silencer Mk II 950W PSU is certainly a good power supply but doesn't live up to the high standards that PC Power & Cooling has established for themselves over the years. The two main weaknesses in our opinion are mediocre AC ripple and noise suppression and a high selling price. There are several other PSUs currently on the market in this power range that offer similar or better performance at a lower price."

Hardware Secrets posted a review on the CM Storm Inferno Mouse

Do you enjoy customizing your mouse? To have several commands literaly at hand, at your fingertips? Do you consider having seven or eight reprogrammable buttons to little?

We were impressed with the choices the Inferno had to offer, pardon the hellish pun. As usual, we'll begin exploring the physical aspects of the mouse than its configuration options and, finally, we'll go to the best part: how it fared while gaming. To the test, then.
