Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13" Notebook Review
TechSpot posted a review on the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13" Notebook

The ThinkPad Edge notebook that we'll be looking at today is part of an all-new series from Lenovo announced early this year at CES. The ThinkPad Edge blends some of the things we liked on the IdeaPad with the power and legacy of ThinkPads. Aimed at style- and budget-conscious business users, this system features some firsts from Lenovo, like a new keyboard layout and a low entry price for ThinkPads at just $579.

Entry level models come equipped with AMD Athlon Neo X2 processors, which can be upgraded to an Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 processor. Our review unit uses the Intel CPU operating at 1.3 GHz along with an Intel GS45 chipset and 4500MHD integrated graphics. There's also 4GB of DDR3 memory, a 320GB hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM, Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 wireless, and a 13.3-inch LCD panel featuring a 1366 x 768 resolution.

Lenovo sums up the look and feel of Edge in two words: sophisticated simplicity. Read on as we explore its features inside and out.

SteelSeries Siberia v2 headset and mobile device adapter review
Elite Bastards posted SteelSeries Siberia v2 headset and mobile device adapter review

At last, let's take a proper look at the headset itself, which comprises of a pair of headphones complete with a design that automatically adjusts to comfortably fit the size of your head thanks to the flexible black band you can see above the headphones themselves, something which really works rather well, only proving to be very slightly uncomfortable after a long period of use. SteelSeries also provides an two metre extension cable with support for both line-out and microphone jacks, giving you a three metre cable length to play with in total - A joy to behold compared to the excruciatingly short cables offered by many headphones.

Arctic Sound E361-BM Earbuds Review
Techgage.com takes a look at Arctic Cooling's E361-BM earbuds

It's not uncommon for a company which focuses on one thing to branch out into another, but I am not sure many people would have predicted a company such as Arctic Cooling would begin producing audio equipment. Fortunately though, the company has obviously done its research, as the audio quality is very good (with great bass!)

Sennheiser HD800 Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the Sennheiser HD800

Sennheiser's latest and greatest headphones are put to the test. The HD800s created quite a fuzz when released, not only were they one of the most expensive headphones launched last year, they were also the most anticipated ones. In this review we put them to the test and see if there can be a reason to spend $1800 on headphones.

Antec CP-850 850W Power Supply Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Antec CP-850 850W Power Supply

Antec has always been known for making very reliable power supplies. They have done something a little interesting with their CP-Series power supplies though. They are designed differently so they are larger than most power supplies, which means they will only fit in certain cases. Those cases include Antecs Twelve Hundred, P183, and P193. The larger size does allow for a better internal design, but is that worth limiting what cases you can put the power supply in? Antec has sent us their 850W version of the CP-Series, lets put it to the test and see if its worth it!

Gelid Tranquillo CPU Cooler Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the new Gelid Tranquillo CPU cooler.

When it comes to CPU coolers, most consumers usually have to choose between a low price or good performance since there are very few products on the market that feature both. With their Traquillo, Gelid is trying to release a product that incorporates the best of both worlds. Can they succeed?

ProlimaTech Armageddon CPU Cooler Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the ProlimaTech Armageddon CPU Cooler

The aftermarket heatsink industry is very competitive, and manufacturers often release several product designs before finally scoring a win with enthusiasts and overclockers. The Megahalems was ProlimaTech's first run at CPU-cooler's, and a very sucessful one at that. Earning our Editor's Choice Award and countless accolades from other websites, ProlimaTech has built high expectations with their follow-up products. The ProlimaTech Armageddon is one such cooling solution with a legacy to fill, and with six heatpipes and enough finsink area for two 140mm fans it seems a reasonable possability. Benchmark Reviews recently tested the ProlimaTech Armageddon heatsink in our Best CPU Cooler Performance series, on an overclocked Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition processor against several other top CPU coolers.

NZXT Hades Crafted Series Midtower ATX Enclosure Review
Futurelooks posted a review on the NZXT Hades Crafted Series Midtower ATX Enclosure

When the courier comes by to drop off new hardware, we always end up getting into a good conversation. The latest discussion was all about the NZXT Crafted Series Hades Computer Enclosure that we're looking at today. It was interesting to hear the courier comment on things like the front bezel design and question the purpose of feature like the use of a temperature display. If he wasn't on the job, he'd probably hang out and help review the case. I told him to check back to see what I came up with so without further adieu, we review the NZXT Hades Crafted Series Computer Enclosure.

HIS Radeon HD 5770 1GB Video Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the HIS Radeon HD 5770 1GB Video Card

The card to arrive was a HD 5770; it wasn't a Turbo nor an IceQ version and since I had already reviewed two HD 5770s from HIS, I figured I was probably going to be dealing with a card that I'd already seen. When I opened it up, though, I found a new fan design that looked pretty cool.

Since the release of the HD 5700 series we've seen companies release models with different types of fans. ATI themselves had two different versions of the card; one with the cooler that's like the HD 5800 series cards and a cheaper designed one. It seems that HIS have added another card to the flock so let's take the time to see how it goes.

GMC H-80 Case Review
OCC has published a review on the GMC H-80 Case

Some of the aspects of the case that could use improvement though, are the cable management system and flimsy front bezel. The cable management system utilized by the H-80 is decent at hiding the power supply cables, but this wasn't the issue. The issue came when it was time to close up the side panel that needs to be taken off while routing the cables. With all the cables running along the back of the motherboard tray there just was not enough room between the tray and the side panel to easily close it up, even when using the zip ties, I had to push very hard on the panel to get it on and even after I thought it was in place it popped off a few times.
