Legit Reviews posted an ECS PN2 SLI2+ (680i SLI) Motherboard Review

ECS did a good thing with the release of the PN2 SLI2+ motherboard. It is a solid board that performs very well and overclocks well when leaving the multiplier alone. If you are in the market for a new motherboard, and are looking for a 680i board, you will want to take a look at the ECS PN2 SLI2+ for sure...

TrustedReviews have looked at the Kingston 1GB DataTraveler ReadyFlash

So, what is ReadyBoost you ask? It acts as an extension of Vista’s SuperFetch feature, which loads frequently used files and programs into the system memory so that they load significantly faster than if they loaded directly from the hard drive. As a result Vista is far better at utilising large memory configurations in excess of 2GB, and power users will certainly reap the benefits.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Epson P-5000 Multimedia Storage Viewer

I should imagine that there aren’t many digital photographers around that haven’t run out of space now and then; the dreaded ‘card full’ symbol is enough to make anyone mutter a few expletives under the breath. Fortunately, Epson have come to the rescue with a handy little storage viewer that will fit into virtually any camera bag pocket. Now you don’t need to panic when you’re down to your last few megabytes of space!

techPowerUp posted a review on the SoundGraph iMON Ultra Bay

Soundgraph has updated their own VFD series with a new display which is not only twice as big, but one could say twice as good as well. The one aspect which did not get bigger, but in fact, smaller is its price. While the original Soundgraph VFD had a price tag of ~$100 the new Ultra Bay sells for $95. The new graphical LCD is a great choice to display any type of font, while the new buttons make navigating even easier than before.

techPowerUp posted a review on the A-DATA Super Info SD Card 512MB

The A-DATA Super Info SD card comes with a little LCD readout that can display volume name and remaining capacity. This is a very useful feature because it allows you to check what is on the card without inserting it into a computer. The performance of the card is good as well, transfer rates are in the 12 MB/s range with access speeds of only 1.3 ms.

PC Stats posted a Corsair DOMINATOR Twin2X2048-8888C4DF Memory review

The 2GB Corsair DOMINATOR Twin2X2048-8888C4DF kit is the companies current flagship DDR-2 memory part.... and boy is it fast! The enthusiast game of overclocking computer hardware has become a very mainstream affair. Manufacturers use high end computer hardware to impress us, to dazzle us with fast numbers, jaw dropping features, and luxury options that grab everyone's attention. It takes a special kind of computer enthusiast to recognize that one must look past the flash, the verb-ladden names, and stare right into the heart of high speed low latency memory. The latter is quite important, and quite difficult to achieve.

Thermalfly have come out with a couple really nice Intel thermal solutions of recent, and the Thermalfly I75DUB heatsink is the latest in its series. The I75DUB is based loosely on the Intel reference design, and features ultra thin bifurcated fins, a large and powerful fan and inset aluminum base.

PC Stats posted a HEC Zephyr 650 Power Supply Review

The Zephyr line is HEC's high end series of power supply. It has achieved both ATi CrossFire and nVIDIA SLI certification. That itself should tell you that HEC power supplies are pretty good. The Zephyr 650 model is HEC's flagship power supply, and it comes in a cool dark chrome finish,. The HEC Zephyr 650 pumps out a maximum of 650W of power, and that is sufficient for most enthusiast-level PCs.

Viper Lair takes a look at two reasonably priced Asus video cards and compare single vs CrossFire performance.

The performance of a single EAX1950 Pro makes it a great bang for your buck video card, coming in at about $183 USD for the non crossfire card and $219 for the Crossfire version you are looking at a nice dual card set up for about $400 plus shipping. Sure your not going to see FPS in the triple digits, but your going to save a few hundred dollars and pay your electric bill.

ThinkComputers.orgposted a review on the nMedia Wireless RF Keyboard with Trackball

I just built a brand new HTPC last week. I am using the SilverStone LC14MC HTPC case. The case came with a wireless remote, but I still need to have a keyboard and mouse connected when I want to transfer files via USB, or just sit in my bed and surf the web. Now I really don't want to shell out a lot of money for both a wireless keyboard and mouse especially since I'm not going to be using it either that much. When you go down to you local computer store the only wireless keyboards and mice are the high-end expensive one. Well nMedia has a great solution that solves the keyboard and mouse problem, their wireless RF keyboard with trackball!

Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the OCZ ProXStream 1000W

This power supply isn't meant for everybody, it is aimed at those who truly demand performance at any cost after all, those are the ones who run enough fans that their computer system needs to be chained down. Those who are willing to sacrifice anything and everything to squeeze out every drop of performance - meet your future power supply.

Modders-Inc has a new review online on the SteelSound 5H v2 Headphones

SteelSeries is well known for their gaming headphones, I have seen people rave about the SteelSound 5H, 5H v2, and 5H v2 USB on numerous occasions. After completing the 3H and 4H reviews SteelSeries asked me if I would like to take a look at their 5H v2 gaming headphones. I was absolutely ready to see what their top of the line unit has to offer after hearing how well the lower end units performed.

CoolTechZone.com posted a review on the Bose TriPort In-Ear Headphones

When it comes to audio output devices, Bose is considered to be one of the best companies around. But unfortunately, its newly released TriPort In-Ear headphones may not be as excitingly good as its other products. It’s not necessarily the audio aspect of the TriPort In-Ear that’s going to cause a serious issue, though there’s a minor setback that we’ll get to later on, but it’s the physical attributes that sneak up.

Elite Bastards posted a review on the Foxconn FV-N88SMCD2-ONOC GeForce 8800 GTS OC 320MB video card

Last week saw the launch of a new G80-based part at an even lower price point, utilising the same specifications as the already familiar GeForce 8800 GTS, albeit with just 320MB of on-board memory compared to the 640MB seen on a 'full' board. Bringing NVIDIA's flagship DirectX 10 architecture closer to the masses is undoubtedly a good thing, but just what performance difference will halving the frame buffer make? We investigate, thanks to Foxconn's factory overclocked FV-N88SMCD2-ONOC GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB board.

TrustedReviews posted a review on the Sony SRS-DZ10 2.1 Speakers

At first glance the SRS-DZ10s look quite unusual; the tubular shaped subwoofer in particular being a unique component. As a set they are, however, undoubtedly stylish with an exceedingly smart brushed aluminium finish and satellites that are elegant in their simplicity. The unusual design of the sub is meant so you can place it horizontally or vertically on your desk, though why you’d want to do that rather than keep it under a desk is beyond me.

HardwareLogic posted a Rivets guide

Enclosures have become more sophisticated throughout the years, using new methods, technologies and materials in which to construct them. However, while these aspects of case manufacturing may have changed, one thing has not: the manner in which these cases are held together. As you know, rivets in a case are like what nails are to a house. Without the joining of materials together with the aid of a binding item, such as a rivet or a nail, you are surely setting yourself up for failure.

Tweaknews.net posted an OCZ Technology ProXStream 1000 Watt Power Supply review

OCZ has a solid performer here. Plenty of solid, stable power will satisfy even the most hardware-laden system, while the quad SLI connectors are a welcome addition for a top-level rig. Add in sleeved cables, a casing no bigger than a lower wattage PSU, and a good price point for the power, and you've got a definite winner in the PSU battles.

techPowerUp reports that the ATI R600 will not launch this quarter

I just got off the phone with ATI who informed me that the Editor's Day before the launch, which was scheduled around March 11, has been postponed to the second quarter of 2007, which means that there will be no R600 launch next month.
