TrustedReviews have looked at the Panasonic HDC-SD1 High Definition SD Camcorder

Once is a while we get to try out products that aren’t just interesting or cool but mark the start of a revolution. The Panasonic HDC-SD1 camcorder is such a device – a camcorder that can capture images at 1080i resolution without the need for tapes. It’s not the first consumer level High Definition camcorder on the market, with Sony's HDR-HD3 being its second stab at the market. However, while the HD1 and HD3 record onto MiniDV tapes the Panasonic HDC-SD1 records onto SD card.

Hardware Logic posted Thermaltake Max 4 External HDD Enclosure Review

bit-tech.net posted a review on the Shuttle SS21T

Unfortunately Shuttle is stuck between a rock and a hard place: its XPC range is too expensive but fantastically built and the cheaper T-chassis range is larger and falls into a more saturated marketplace of equally cheap barebones. In all, it may not be the cheapest out there, but it still makes for a very capable budget system that works.

XYZ Computing posted a review on Stars Wars Series Mimobots

Mimoco has been releasing a number of custom Mimobots from professional artists, but they recently took the USB drive world by storm when they announced a series of Stars Wars drives. The first Stars Wars series would feature drives in 1GB, 2GB and 4GB capacities featuring four iconic characters from the movies: Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Stormtrooper, and R2-D2. The drives will not only look like a cute, cartoon version of the characters but come preloaded with bonus materials from the series, like wallpapers, icons, and trailers.

Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the HT OMEGA CLARO 7.1 Channel 24-bit 192KHz PCI Sound Card

HT Omega is among the first companies to offer authentic high-fidelity sound at a true 24-bit level of performance. The world class Oxygen 8788 based audio processor by C-Media supports most all industry standards for 3D computer sound; including EAX, A3D and DirectSound. Other very large companies abused consumer trust and have made claims to having this level of sound, only to wind up in court disputes or offer subsequent products that boast 24-bit processing but haplessly renders at 16-bit. Benchmark Reviews investigates the real deal: the HT OMEGA CLARO 24-bit 192KHz 8-channel high definition sound card.

MaXit posted A-Data microSD Trio Multifunction Memory Card Review

Just when you thought 2 in 1 flash cards where pretty handy gadgets, ADATA ups the ante with a 3 in 1 multifunction card adapter that would make James Bond raise an eyebrow.

HotHardware.com spent some quality time with a GeForce 8800 GTX card and the new DX10 infused Lost Planet demo from Capcom.

The screenshots above were taken with the DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 versions of the Lost Planet demo running on GeForce 8800 GTX using the latest Windows Vista drivers available from NVIDIA. The game was configured for a resolution of 1280x720, with 8X anti-aliasing and 16X anisotropic filtering enabled. If you flip through the screenshots and compare the two versions, you'll see that visually they don't differ very much at all. The motion blur effect is more pronounced in the DX10 shots and it gives the game a more realistic look that's not conveyed well over still captures. Other than that, those of you with DX9-class video cards really aren't missing out on much, if anything at all with this title.

XSReviews has reviewed the Ageia PhysX PPU

Ageia and their PhysX technology have taken some serious flack since they first introduced the idea of a dedicated PPU (Physics Processing Unit). Despite this however, they have struggled on, getting their hardware supported in many a popular game. Recently, Cell Factor also came into play, a game that practically runs like a PhysX benchmark. Just over a year on from our original PhysX review how have things changed and is there any difference between the two currently offered choices for a physics junkie; the BFG and the Asus? We hope to answer these questions in this review.

Virtual-Hideout posted NZXT Zero Full Tower Aluminum Enclosure Review

I must say I really like this Zero enclosure, from the way the front bezel is laid out to all the room on the inside. The exterior is black on the panels and the plastic is polished and really shines. A word to the greasy people: you will leave noticeable fingerprints. With all that said, I would feel confident in purchasing the NZXT Zero, whether it's for gaming or using all the extra room...

At a price of just under four US Dollars, these Dotz perform well for a limited time.

Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the OCZ DDR2 PC2-9200 Reaper HPC Edition

The performance of these Reaper HPCs at 5-5-5 certainly was bright enough to blind me without glasses. I still can't get over how well they scale above DDR1200 with such small amounts of voltage. Obviously the ability for these crazy high clocks to continue rising just isn't there. I saw with my P5B-Dlx that it simply couldn't handle dual-channel memory past DDR1280 although the memory seemed more than willing. It appears as though the tortoise has caught up to the hare and is going to pass him...until the new round of chipsets come out which has already begun.

Techgage posted a review of LTB's MG51 headset

Sound. To a gamer it's the hinge pin of gaming. You need it to survive and with the advent of multi channel sound solutions there's no excuse for living with old school 2.0 setups, even when you're lanning or trying to game without disturbing others. Today we take a look at a set of headphones that are 5.1 and feature their own built in amp and sound decoding.

OCC has published a new review of the Thermaltake Toughpower 1000watt Modular PSU

Power, we all think we have enough when it comes to our computers. With the increasing performance and power consumption of todays latest and greatest hardware, the lowly power supply is often an overlooked component. We don't hesitate to spend two or three thousand dollars on hardware, but then we'll skimp on a sixty dollar, 500 watt power supply thinking it will be fine. Then we get upset when the computer doesn't perform to our expectations and we have reboots, BSOD's and other random issues. With 1000 watts of continuous power, the Toughpower 1000 should handle everything I can throw at it. It boasts such features as +/-3% power regulation, up to 87% efficiency, four independent, dedicated 12v rails and a 140mm fan (yes boys and girls that's right, a 140mm fan) to cool down this beast.

I4U NEWS reviews the XFX 8800 Ultra XXX Video Card

Lots of people are comparing it to the performance of overclocked 8800 GTX cards too, which sometimes out perform the stock clocked 8800 Ultra. I can't really speak to that since I don't have a stock clocked 8800 Ultra to test. What I can say is that people didn't complain so much when the overclocked 8800 GTS 320MB cards outperformed the stock 8800 GTS cards.
