Zotac GTX 480 Amp Edition Video Card Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the Zotac GTX 480 Amp Edition Video Card

Zotac's GeForce GTX 480 Amp! Edition was designed to address some of the issues found in NVIDIA's reference design. One look and it's easy to see that this is an extreme graphics card, made for hardcore enthusiasts. What makes us say that? With a core frequency of 756MHz, 1512MHz shaders, and 950MHz memory, this is the fastest GTX 480 on the market currently. And the preinstalled, triple slot Zalman VF3000 cooler also makes it one of the largest cards you can buy. Nevertheless, it's obvious to us that Zotac made no compromises in designing this bad boy, which caters to hardcore gamers who won't settle for stock...

Rosewill Super Slim Wireless-Touchpad Keyboard Review
OCC has published a new review of the Rosewill Super Slim Wireless-Touchpad Keyboard

Overall, I would have to say I thought very well of the Rosewill keyboard. Not only does it feature media keys, which I find to be useful on a keyboard, it is also slim in size being only 14mm at its thickest point. Being thin also makes this keyboard light-weight, which is useful should you plan on lugging it around with your gear.It did take some getting used to, typing on something so small, much like the switch from a full size keyboard to working on a laptop, but after a while it wasn't too challenging.

Ultrasonic Laser Range Finder Review
XSReviews has written a review of the Ultrasonic Laser Range Finder

I'll be the first to admit that having a job as a hardware reviewer isn't exactly a bad lot. We get to check out some of the latest pieces of kit around, and occasionally when we're done we get to hang on to them. This of course has no impact on what score we give an item when reviewing it; but it does occasionally give rise to random items being reviewed.

Being totally honest, today's review is of one such item. It's a laser and ultrasonic range finder from our pals at EFO; here's the review.

Antec DF-85 Dark Fleet Series ATX Enclosure Review
Futurelooks checks out Antec's DF-85 Dark Fleet Series ATX Enclosure

We all know Antec from the many computer enclosures that they've put out over the years. Words like cable management, great thermals, and phrases like "man, I love that case!" are often associated their products. They used to love designing clean, sharp, and highly refined enclosures. That was until some of their engineers found themselves exploring the deepest recesses of space and returned with the new Antec Dark Fleet series enclosures. Let's take a closer look at the fleet admiral in the line-up, the Antec DF-85 enclosure.

ASUS AT3IONT-I Deluxe Review
OCC has published a review on the ASUS AT3IONT-I Deluxe

Since WoW is a big game that is playable on lower-end hardware, I wanted to take a run and see what the Atom and ION combo could do with this game. I applied the highest resolution of my monitor of 1920 x 1200 and set the game on defaults. After playing for a bit, I pulled up the in-game FPS counter and surprisingly, I was able to run the game at an average of 34fps.

Gigabyte Radeon HD 5770 Super Overclock Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the Gigabyte Radeon HD 5770 Super Overclock video card

Gigabyte’s Super Overclock series has always been known as being cutting edge in terms of features and clock speeds and it has now made the jump into a lower-end price segment. The HD 5770 already combines excellent performance with a killer price but how will this translate into a supposedly flagship brand?

ASUS AT3IONT-I Deluxe Atom 330/nVidia ION Motherboard Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the ASUS AT3IONT-I Deluxe Atom 330/nVidia ION Motherboard

The HTPC is growing increasingly popular as people discover the endless possibilities of the multimedia side of the PC. Yeah, I know, we enthusiasts have realized this for a long time, but keep in mind that the average PC user still primarily uses his/her rig for email and surfing the net. Well, add loading music into their iPOD, hanging out with their Facebook friends, and watching YouTube videos to that list. Most still haven’t realized how versatile that intimidating box they know as simply “my computer” can be. Our friends at Asus have been working hard to create the ideal HTPC setup in their new AT3IONT-I Deluxe Mini-ITX board. Powered by a passively cooled Intel Atom 330 processor and nVidia ION chipset and sporting onboard WiFi among other features, their MiniMax Home Entertainment Center may just be what you need to build that home theater around. Read on to check out the Asus AT3IONT-I Deluxe!

Samsung Captivate SGH-i897 Review
TestFreaks takes a look at the Samsung Captivate SGH-i897

Let me start this off by saying that I think it’s about time AT&T has finally gotten a decent Android phone! The Samsung Galaxy S or Captivate is here to save us from the mediocrity that is what AT&T is offering now for Android phones. So yeah, I’ve got the Samsung Galaxy S or Captivate for review today and I love it, I truly do. Sure I miss the hardware keyboard, but with this phone I think I could learn to live without it. I also miss having a flash to take picture, but without it the pictures are fairly decent, even those taken indoors. The Captivate though is what an Android phone should be, it’s fast with its 1Ghz processor and it has a gorgeous 4” screen that looks wonderful for general usage all the way up to movies and gaming. The Captivate truly is a great phone… and I’ve got no issues with GPS either…

Cooler Master NotePal U3 Notebook Cooler Review
Hi Tech Legion posted Cooler Master NotePal U3 Notebook Cooler Review

The Cooler Master NotePal U3 ups the ante from their U2 model. The NotePal U3 retains the same design but adds another fan for triple the performance. The NotePal U3 keeps the same aluminum mesh design for optimal flow and heat dissipation. Rubber feet and bumpers keep both the laptop secure as well as the base secure to any surface. All three fans have customizable locations and are powered with a single pass-through USB connection. The fans are connected to a clip-on fan controller that can be placed on either side of the NotePal U3. The NotePal U3 poises to be the last notebook cooler you will ever need.

X-Gaming X-Arcade Solo Review
Neoseeker posted a review on the X-Gaming X-Arcade Solo

Looking to enjoy some arcade games on your PC (however method you choose to go about it...), but don't feel like using a gamepad? If you're in the market for an actual arcade joystick built from the ground up for the PC, be sure to check our latest review of the X-Arcade Solo Joystick from X-Gaming, and see how it fares as a potential gaming input device. Hey, it's still made of injected wood.

The X-Arcade Solo is made of 1.6cm thick black injected wood. It is as robust as the desk on which it is going to be used! The top surface is 26x42.5cm at its largest point. The joystick is 8cm tall. There are eight black buttons as well as one white with a picture of a man, like on real arcades where one would select the "one player" button.

Akasa Venom Nano Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted Akasa Venom Nano Heatsink Review

Looking for a new heatsink for that noisy overheating PC under your desk? Akasa's Venom Nano heatsink stands 150mm tall, weighs 560 grams and installs onto AMD socket AM2/AM3 and Intel socket 775/1156/1366 processors. Off the cuff though, it seems a little 'modest' for Intel Core i7 use, dito for AMD Black Edition chips. The Venom Nano seems better suited to mainstream processors as it offers a good range of quiet operation and ease of installation.[/quote6
