SteelSeries 7H Review
Vortez posted a review on the SteelSeries 7H case

Back in March we went over to CeBIT and had an exclusive look at the upcoming SteelSeries 7H. Since then we have been eagerly waiting to get our hands on the 7H because as you can see from the video, not only can you disassemble the headset and take it with you to events a lot easier but its sound quality is said to be great for all-round usage both in entertainment and gaming scenarios. The 7H will offer gamers an interchangeable ear-cup featuring a closed memory foam solution or a soft-cloth solution that will allow certain sounds through (ideal for gaming teams specifically). The headset takes advantage of a 50mm driver giving your ears rich low, mid and high tones. Similar to the Siberia series, the microphone on the 7H is retractable, easy to conceal and braided with a volume control console.

Kitguru posted a review on the Rosewill RK-9000 Keyboard

Today we have another item from NewEgg.ca to review – The Rosewill RK-9000 gaming keyboard. This is a mechanical style keyboard that uses Cherry MX Blue switches to provide that ‘old school’ feel of an IBM style keyboard.

There are multiple types of keyboards available today of which the most common is often referred to as a Membrane keyboard.

Sapphire Mini Projector 101 Review
XSReviews have a review of Sapphire Mini Projector 101.

In tough economic times it's never a bad plan to diversify; it seems that applies to large companies too. Sapphire, makers of ATI graphics cards for desktop systems have often branched out into motherboards and the like, but now they're entering the display game too. However, not with a standard LCD or LED monitor, but an LED projector.

It's small, comes with its own tripod and able to handle a reasonably high resolution. Let's see how it holds up.

Arctic Sound P531 USB Gaming Headset Review
ASE Labs posted a review on the Arctic Sound P531 USB Gaming Headset

Gaming headsets aren't all alike. Some are very expensive just because of a brand name. Some are feature packed and come with a good price. The Arctic Cooling Arctic Sound P531 USB Gaming Headset falls into the latter category. The P531 brings true 5.1 channel sound for your listening pleasure.

Corsair Graphite 600T Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the Corsair Graphite 600T

Corsair has put a lot of engineering into their Obsidian case line-up and everyone had eagerly been awaiting their first mid-tower case offering. Enter stage left: Corsair Graphite 600T, which takes a lot of the features of the Obsidian and packs it into a uniqe looking case at a much lower price point. We tear it apart and put it back together, to see if it can impress as much as the Obsidian series.

Hardware Secrets posted a review on the Psyko Audio Labs Psyko 5.1 PC Gaming Headset

It's been some time now since we interviewed James Hildebrandt, founder and CEO of Psyko Audios Labs, who announced his revolutionary creation in terms of 5.1 gaming headsets. It's worthy checking out what he had to say back then. But now, it's that time when the coach finishes to deliver his motivational speech and the team faces the field to show if it has what it takes or not. As usual, we'll beging by describing the physical characteristics of the product and then proceed to evaluating its performance.

G.Skill 2x4GB CL7 1600 MHz Trident DDR3 Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the G.Skill 2x4GB CL7 1600 MHz Trident DDR3 memory

We feel that more memory is rather important, and in that trend memory manufacturers have started to increase the density of DIMM modules. Where 1 and 2GB DIMM modules have been the standard, we now see very good progress in 4 GB DIMM modules.

Today we'll do things a little different, G.Skill designed a 8GB low voltage DDR3 kit (2x 4GB) that can be set at 1600 MHz yet still run a CAS latency of 7. And that is truly interesting because the denser the ICs get, the higher latency typically gets.

ASUS EAH6850 DirectCU OC Edition Review
OCC has published a review on the ASUS EAH6850 DirectCU OC Edition

With a name that includes Overclocked Edition you have to believe that ASUS took the time to make sure the card overclocked well. And it did. With the large DirectCU dual heat pipe based heat sink, ASUS has equipped the card with better than stock cooling to allow for some spirited overclocking. I was able to overclock the core by almost 25% and the memory 18% (on this card in particular) by using ASUS's Smart Doctor utility to reach the final clock speeds of 983/1184Mhz.

ocaholic posted a review on the ASUS EAH6850 DirectCU

It's been almost a year that AMD announced its HD5XXX series graphics cards. Now ASUS already has the HD6850 DirectCU ready which carries a non standard cooler and is one of the major players in the midrange sector.

Legit Reviews posted a review on the second revision to the GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R

GIGABYTE has released a number of X58 based motherboards since the chipset made its appearance in 2008. While they don't have the most X58 boards out there, they do offer some of the best. GIGABYTE first released the GA-X58A-UD3R (Rev. 1.0) not too long ago and it was well received with it's low price and excellent performance. Recently however, GIGABYTE saw fit to release a revision to the GA-X58A-UD3R (Rev. 2.0) adding some minor changes.

Samsung FX2490HD 24 Inch LED TV / Monitor Review
Tweaknews posted a review on the Samsung FX2490HD 24 Inch LED TV / Monitor

The Samsung SyncMaster FX2490HD is a stylish LED monitor / TV that tries to perform the role of two products in one, but doesn't seem to excel at either function. While used as a monitor, it does perform its task very well. But with the lack of a suitable DVI connection and no cable adapter, the user is limited to use the older analog VGA which to some will seem rather outdated for a 2010 product.
