Mionix Naos 3200 Review
DragonSteelMods posted a review on the Mionix Naos 3200

For today's review we will be checking out the Naos 3200, the newest gaming mouse from Mionix. Its design is based on the highly regarded Naos 5000 which we reviewed earlier in the year. This ergonomic gaming mouse features a 3200 dpi LED optical sensor thus the name Naos 3200.

Besides the optical sensor it also includes built in memory for storing macros and other commands, customizable LED light system, seven programmable buttons and three step customizable DPI button for in game adjustments. While the Naos 3200 is not as feature rich as its big brother the Naos 5000, it does hold its own against similar competitors.

Cooler Master Choiix Power Fort USB Battery Pack Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Cooler Master Choiix Power Fort USB Battery Pack

The Choiix Power Fort is a very handy device, and with seemingly infinite battery life as a flashlight (70 hours per charge, and 500 charges before it only charges up to ~85% means about 35,000 hours of flashlight time) it is simply a great buy. Even at its steep $49.99 price tag for the standard models I have to say the Choiix Power Fort is well worth the money, and if you travel frequently I would have to consider it a necessity.

The bundle we received was for item C-2010-K1A0 which is the Black, Advanced retail version. The Power Fort is available as white normal/advanced, or black normal/advanced. The difference between the normal and advanced versions is the car and wall power adapters. The normal versions come with just the two USB cables and suede pouch, whereas the advanced have the car adapter and US/EU/AU/UK wall adapters...

Dell Streak: Both Tablet and Phone
InsideHW.com has reviewed Dell Streak smarthphone

In the flash flood of new tablet models, Dell tried to make something completely different, and launched a device that, at first glance or otherwise, simply can’t be pigeonholed into either tablet or Android-smartphone category. The gadget (in the lack of a better word) which we have been testing is very elegant, high-quality and firm, and with a rather small tablet-wise, or a rather big smartphone-wise, 5” display. Why tablet? The basic orientation that Streak is used in is landscape, which makes it look like a tablet (even a navigational device), plus it has all of the functions usually associated with tablet PCs…

Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme Plus Review
XSReviews have a new review of the Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme Plus GPU cooler

One of the ways enthusiasts like to improve the performance of their PCs is by overclocking them. The downside to this is that it - more often then not - equates to quite a increase in heat output from the respective chip being pushed beyond its factory settings. Fortunately there are companies out there to offer better cooling solutions than what you get in your average PC; and they're not just for CPUs.

Today we're taking a look at a heat sink fan combo from Arctic Cooling known as the Accelero Xtreme Plus. It's made up of a whopping sized heatsink, full of heatpipes and cooled by three large 12cm fans. This should do the trick I think, let's find out.

ASUS Rampage III Formula Review
PureOverclock posted a review of the ASUS Rampage III Formula motherboard

Packed with an extensive list of features, the ASUS Rampage III Formula looks very familiar, and in fact it is essentially a Rampage III Extreme, but just a little "less Extreme". It also comes with a lower price tag, though it's not inexpensive by any stretch. Enthusiasts looking for an extreme X58 motherboard that may not have dreams of record-breaking suicide runs on liquid nitrogen may do well to take a look at this ASUS Rampage III Formula. It has an impeccable pedigree on paper, but can it succeed in our lab? Let's find out.

Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 750W Power Supply Review
OCC has published a review on the Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 750W Power Supply

The DC voltage load regulation is excellent but it is let down by what I would consider high noise/ripple levels on most of the rails, although they still met the requirements of the ATX12V V2.2 specification. It should however be noted that the measured ripple/noise levels were taken at 104% DC loading, effectively an overload, but I'm fairly certain there would be little if no difference at 100%. The efficiency of the Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 750W is up there with the best and will certainly save a few pennies on the utility bills.

Lian Li PC-Q06 Mini-ITX / ATX Test Bench Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Lian Li PC-Q06 Mini-ITX / ATX Test Bench
