ICY DOCK MB561US-4S-1 Quad Bay External Enclosure Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the ICY DOCK MB561US-4S-1 Quad Bay External Enclosure

Large volume external storage has also been and will remain to be popular just for the fact that many people do not have room inside their cases for extra hard drives. Also external storage allows you to easily use that storage on multiple systems with minimal effort. With the introduction of eSATA external drives can now be just as fast as internal drives so we have seen quite a few eSATA external enclosures released lately. Today we will be taking a look at the MB561US-4S-1 Quad Bay External Enclosure from ICY DOCK that features an internal port multiplier and both eSATA and USB 2.0 connections. Lets take a look

The HIS HD 5850 iCooler V Turbo is a fully customized HD 5870 that uses a non-reference PCB and heatsink. Instead of the standard clocks it comes at frequencies of 765 MHz core and 1125 MHz memory. Another highlight is the included Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 game which is clearly one of the top games of the last months.

Kingwin DockMaster USB 3.0 HDD Dock Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Kingwin DockMaster USB 3.0 HDD Dock

Kingwin has added three USB 3.0 devices to its product roster this year, two SATA enclosures (one 2=BD" and one 3=BD") and the DockMaster SATA HDD dock we have for review today. The DM-2535U3 is a single bay drive dock that accepts either 2=BD" or 3=BD" SATA drives. It features USB 3.0 connectivity for bandwidth up to 5Gb/s and plug and play capability. Facing competition from an overabundance of USB 2.0 drive enclosures and the already super fast eSATA interface, can USB 3.0 really surpass the popularity and speed of existing devices?

Dell Vostro V13 laptop Review
BCW published a review of Dell Vostro V13's laptop

Dell's latest ultraportable laptop-otherwise known as the poor man's Adamo-is a great looking machine, constructed with durable and premium materials at a decent price. Its specifications aren't cutting edge, but it's so much faster compared to most netbooks which use Intel's low-cost Atom processor. The biggest criticism of the Vostro V13 is that its svelte design results in poor battery life and the inability to swap out the cell or system memory. Graphics performance isn't too hot, either. But if you or your colleagues are mostly deskbound, need a laptop that impresses at client meetings, or want something that is small and light to carry, then the Vostro V13 could be a prudent choice.

Ikonik Ra 2000 Black IC-RBDAB-C000 Full Tower Chassis Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Ikonik Ra 2000 Black IC-RBDAB-C000 Full Tower Chassis

Using a moniker like Ikonik on products, the bar is set high in my mind. Icon to me is something that is not only a trendsetter, but one of those things that you can remember back to years later with a smile and say, “I remember that, it was the bomb in its day”. I haven’t had a ton of personal experience yet with Ikonik, but the most memorable up to now was their Ra X10 Liquid Chassis I had the pleasure of looking at and using personally for a couple of months. Not only was the Ra X10 sleek and sexy, built from aluminum and offered software fan control, but of course it was fully water cooled from the factory. While not the best of the best in choosing the components of the loop, I was very satisfied with the results it offered.

The Ra X10 was quite the expensive full tower with all the accoutrement that is included, and many would pass it by simply based on their wallet not “feeling” the purchase. Never fear, Ikonik comes to the table with a new full tower offering that is a bit more “budget friendly”. At first glance the chassis offers sleek looks, a windowed or mesh side panel choice and hopefully similar build quality as the last Ikonik chassis I looked at. Under the surface Ikonik offers a few more tricks to benefit buyers of the Ra 2000 Black.

Ninjalane has posted a review of the tower style cooler from Thermalright, the VX.

Aftermarket cooling solutions have really stabilized over the past couple years, no longer are we seeing strange and exotic designs, and the solid blocks we find with our retail processors are the only remnants of that past technology.
