bit-tech.net published a review of MSI's P35 Platinium motherboard

The feature set is solid, it looks great and offers enough to keep the majority of people interested. The box could offer a few more extras like additional USB ports and the board's eSATA solution is inferior to Gigabyte's optional bracket. However, if you're a fan of quiet computing and want something rock solid stable with an enthusiast friendly BIOS, superb overclocking and a not too stressing price, then the MSI P35 Platinum should definitely be one to consider.

Bigbruin.com has posted a review on the HEC Group Zephyr 650W ATX Power Supply

Noise is always a concern, and I am happy to say that even with the 120mm and 80mm fan in the Zephyr 650W, the system remains virtually silent. You have to pay close attention to notice the thermally controlled changes in fan speed, as you simply can not hear them even when they are operating at full speed.

Gamepyre posted an Alienware Overclocking Article

Since the introduction of the microprocessor in the late 1970s, enthusiasts have been pushing their processors to the limit by giving them more power. As PCs became mainstream, as nanometers got smaller and as processors began using more silicon, "overclocking" a desktop's processor became a common practice for anyone looking to add a little oomph to their computer's performance. Nowadays the practice has become so common that many of the major PC manufacturers offer computers with already overclocked components.

Neoseeker has published a review of Asus' P5K3 Deluxe WiFi board

As history shows, Asus enthusiast motherboards generally overclock pretty well, and the P5K Deluxe WiFi is no exception.

I was able to reach a stable 485x7 - namely a 1940MHz FSB (not too shabby at all!) which is an excellent result. Reportedly and supposedly, other people have reached 530MHz, and even higher. However, keeping in mind that I only count stable results; I was able to post and even get to the Windows desktop at over 500MHz, but without real stability.

The PNY XLR8 D22GX85XL-5 dual channel memory kit has a default clock speed of DDR2-1066 MHz while using 5-5-5-15 timings and a voltage of 2.2V.

DragonSteelMods posted a review on the Akasa Evo 120 Heatpipe CPU Cooler

Today for review I have another entry into the CPU Cooling arena, this time it's from Akasa, and it is called the Evo 120. The 120 signifies the 120mm fan that the Evo CPU Cooler uses, which I found to be virtually silent. I've found that the Evo 120 CPU cooler can be an excellent choice to replace an Intel or AMD stock cooling solution for performance and silence, so read on...

HotHardware.com posted a review on the Intel V8 Media Creation Platform

It was at this year's Consumer Electronics Show that we were first exposed to an Intel demo machine dubbed the ' V8' . Intel wouldn't label the machine as a direct response to the QuadFX platform by AMD, but they did want to stress the point that enthusiasts could have a dual-socket, eight-core, Intel powered machine today if they went with a workstation platform. At the heart of the V8 machine were two quad-core Xeon processors, a dual-socket S5000XVN motherboard, and 4GB of RAM. No doubt a powerful system. But there was only so much Intel could convey in a 'quick and dirty' demo. To assess the true power and capabilities of V8, we'd have to gain unfettered access to the machine and put it through its paces on our own terms and with our own suite of benchmarks. And that's exactly what we've done. Head on over to the site and check it out.

Techgage posted a review of the ASUS P5K P35 motherboard

With the launch of Intel's P35 chipset, ASUS promptly released seven boards for you to choose from. A few weeks ago we had taken a look at the P5K3 and were left very impressed. Given the fact that the P5K is strikingly similar in specs, we hope to be left as equally impressed.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Canon PowerShot A570 IS

For just over a year now, any time anyone has asked me to recommend a good low-cost mid-range camera with manual controls, I have unhesitatingly pointed them at the Canon PowerShot A540, which I reviewed here in May of last year. However my recommendation will be changing from now on, because Canon has recently replaced the deservedly popular A540 with this, the PowerShot A570 IS.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook P7230

Ask anyone in the TR office and you'll probably find that we all like our notebooks as small as possible. Sure, a desktop replacement has its uses, as does a gaming notebook or a media notebook but as our activities often take us out of the office the smaller the notebook, the better. Thus the Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook P7230 is certainly of interest, with the 10.6in display and 1.37kg weight putting it squarely in the ultra-portable bracket. Even more attractive is the internal HSDPA module which, along with the ubiquitous 802.11a/b/g wireless, gives the P7230 as much wireless connectivity as you're ever likely to need short of strapping your own personal satellite to your back.
