Zotac Zbox HD-ND22 barebones mini PC

Quad Core i5 gaming/rendering system @ 4.2ghz, for less than a grand?
KitGuru takes a look at a Quad Core i5 gaming/rendering system @ 4.2ghz

At KitGuru we spend a lot of our time playing with high end hardware, and it can be disheartening for many readers. In the cold hard 'real world' not everyone can afford a Core i7 980X with SLI'd GTX480's and to be honest, for most people this is totally overkill anyway. Killer performance shouldn't cost a fortune and this is the focus of today's write up.

Today we are trying something new - we want to help you build a Core i5 system which is not only capable of gaming, but media, 3d rendering and video editing duties also. We will hand select components we know will overclock well, but we also want to limit bios tweaking, a scary part of building a system for many people. There is a huge audience who want to build their own system, but don't want to learn a wealth of bios settings. We will guarantee today you can achieve a 1.4ghz overclock without breaking a sweat.

NZXT Hades Case Review
BURNED iN posted a review on the NZXT Hades Case

Here we have an excellent opportunity to be somewhat narcissistic. Heck, with a review product titled Hades and the site name of BURNED iN, it will be hard not to do a little self promoting, like mentioning just how hot it is around here. But this summer LeBron James set such a new low in self-love that we are all still sick to our stomachs. So, we promise not to refer to ourselves in third person or do some self-promoting under the guise of helping a non-profit organization. We'll stick with what we do best, giving everyone a no-nonsense review of the NZXT Hades case. Of course we won't shy away from the occasional wacky comments, because that's embedded in us. All we need to know is whether the Hades enclosure is hot or not. Let's find out, shall we?

Legit Reviews posted a review on the Cooler Master USNA 95 Slim Notebook Power Adapter

Today, we are taking a look at a brand new ultra slim notebook power adapter from Cooler Master called the USNA 95. This is not a cheap generic power brick. This power adapter was designed by Choiix for Cooler Master and it was designed from the get go to be small, but powerful. In fact Cooler Master informed us that the USNA95 is the world's smallest 95 Watt (has a peak power output rated at 150W) power adapter!

A universal power adapter opens the door to new designs, form factors and features, so they make an ideal choice when it comes to the replacement or back-up for your original notebook adapter. Today, we are taking a look at a brand new ultra slim notebook power adapter from Cooler Master called the USNA 95. This is not a cheap generic power brick.

The Cooler Master USNA 95 measures in at just 4.1"x2.4"x0.7" or 104mm x 62mm x17mm, so compare that to the power brick you are using now and you might be shocked...

GSKill Phoenix Pro: Little Drive, Lotta Performance
HotHardware.com posted a review on the GSKill Phoenix Pro

SSDs account for just a fraction of the storage market in terms of units shipped, but high consumer interest and significant profit margins have brought manufacturers in droves. GSkill isn't exactly a newcomer to the field, but the sheer number of companies in the dogpile make it more difficult for any single manufacturer to win a definitive lead against the others, at least in terms of technology alone. Today we're reviewing GSkill's 60GB Phoenix Pro. This relatively diminutive drive is meant to offer enthusiasts an attractive balance between price and performance, but the Phoenix Pro is fighting to distinguish itself in a tight field...
