Razer Salmosa 3G Gaming Mouse Review
OCModShop posted Razer Salmosa 3G Gaming Mouse Review

Never mind that it's name is closer to Salmon than any of us care to acknowledge, because for the low price, anyone can have quality gaming gear that won't put you in debt with the bank that is probably getting foreclosed by our government. And Xoxide was kind enough to hook us up with one to see how it stacks up against other noob-level gaming gear on the market today. While we contact our lawyers and see how long our own bank will be open before Obama takes it, check out the details on this mouse

MSI NGTX260 Lightning Black Edition Review
InsideHW.com has reviewed MSI NGTX260 Lightning Black Edition 1792 MB DDR3 graphics card

This is the best GTX260 graphics card on the market at this moment. Maybe this statement sounds too pompous, but it is pretty much real. MSI GTX260 Lightning is card that was created as result of MSI efforts and goal to create "perfect" graphics card. This model is, obviously, best suited for enthusiasts: for users that don't ask for price when they want to have best piece of hardware in its class. This "class" is very important, because no matter how good and fast this card is, it will never be faster than most GTX285 and faster models, although it will be capable to put a good fight against GTX 275.

Nexus Value 430 Silent Power Supply Review
PCShopTalk posted a review on the Nexus Value 430 Silent Power Supply

The Value 430 PSU from Nexus was compared with a Corsair 620HX to see which is better regarding power consumed and voltage drift on all +3.3V,+5V and +12V lines. To get the computer in full load, I have used the OCCT Perestroika 3.0.1 Stress Test, which has a special PSU test section. To verify the results, I have also used the voltage monitoring from the Everest Ultimate Edition 5.02 Utility. Before testing, I've let the PSU to function in IDLE for about 30 minutes.

XTracPads Logic Hard Surface Mousepad Reviewed
DragonSteelMods takes a look at the XTracPads Logic Hard Surface Mousepad

It's been a while since I've taken a look at any mousepads hasn't it? Well today I've got a very new type of mousepad from our friends over at XtracPads. The pad is called the Logic, and it's not what I would call a pad at all, when you think of pad, you think thick and soft really. The Logic is paper thin, it features a hard surface, but yet you can essentially fold it in half, or almost in half, folding it will crease it. The Logic features an adhesive backing so you can literally stick it in place and it won't move from where you put it. So read on...

Eagle Tech Consus M-Series ET-CSMSU2-BK Hard Drive Enclosure Review
Verdis Reviews has published a new review on the Eagle Tech Consus M-Series ET-CSMSU2-BK Hard Drive Enclosure

The external hard drive market has grown quickly with vast amounts of data needing to be moved from one system to another that a USB drive simply cannot handle. The preferred connection method is now by far eSATA with its greater performance namely for read and write speeds. However, many users still require the older USB 2.0 connection as their cases do not allow for easy eSATA usage and so most enclosures offer both connections. Today, we take a look at an enclosure focused purely on the older connection; with the focus solely on the USB outlet, will it be able to punch above its weight and produce some good results? Let's take a look.

9-Way CPU Coolers Roundup
InsideHW.com has compared performances of 9 CPU coolers.

We all like that our rigs are well taken care of and safe. Components inside the chassis are emitting heat and good cooling system will guarantee longevity and pristine condition of system as a whole. Most of us start thinking about better CPU cooler when summer heats has already arrived. A lot of users keep their rigs overclocked 24/7 and this can be a problem when temperatures during summer months raise. This can result in overheating of some components and in worst case scenario some of those components can be irretrievably damaged. In most cases CPU is the biggest problem, because default (box) coolers that came with CPUs are not too efficient. So, what cooler to choose? We are offering you a little bit longer answer to that question, but we reckon that it will be worth reading.

HP dv2 12.1" Ultra-Portable Notebook Review
Techgage.com posted a look at HP's ultra-portable dv2 notebook

Finding a decently-sized notebook for an equally decent price can be tough, and it's for that reason that HP's dv2 is so intriguing. As a 12.1" offering, you'd expect it to cost more than $600, but not so. Equipped with AMD's Athlon Neo 64 and other competent features, the dv2 is well-worth a look if you need a new notebook on the cheap.

Patriot Memory 64GB Torqx SSD Review
Computer & Consumer Electronic Reviews has posted a new article on the Patriot Memory 64GB Torqx SSD

Patriot Memory doesn't have too many solid state drives on the market but when they decide to release one, you can bet they go for performance. You don't see them with wimpy JMicron controllers inside. It's the best bang for your buck or nothing at all. With recently added 10 year warranty, you know the Torqx will be a great pick over the competition.

GELID Slim Silence AM2 Low-Profile CPU Cooler Review
TweakTown posted a review on the GELID Slim Silence AM2 Low-Profile CPU Cooler

You’re building that super slim HTPC for the living room because the wife’s fed up with the big ugly computer case sitting next to the TV and has threatened to take the china and the dog unless you do something about it.

You buy a nice slim case and go to shove the Blu-ray drive in, only to realise, BANG! - It’s hit the ungainly CPU cooler occupying half the case. What to do, what to do... Buy a new slim-line Blu-ray drive? Expensive! Buy a larger case? Divorce! Buy a new CPU cooler? BINGO!

ASUS My Cinema EHD3-100 HDTV/FM Tuner Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the ASUS My Cinema EHD3-100 HDTV/FM Tuner

Those who want to watch over the air TV at all must either purchase a TV with an ATSC tuner installed or purchase one of the conversion boxes out there. For the HTPC crowd, it means that their tuner card must support ATSC just the same. Most cards out there are going to produce video results that are exactly the same, especially considering the signal and quality are more a factor of antenna reception than card quality. So, what's to make someone decide on one TV tuner over another? The ASUS My Cinema-EHD3-100 answers this question by going one step further than most cards out there to be your all-in-one media center card. It fully supports the ATSC and QAM digital TV specifications allowing you to access digital TV in high definition resolution. It also fully supports analog NTSC TV, analog video and radio. Plus, its on-board mpeg-2 encoder chip helps on-the-fly analog video recording. Is the My Cinema-EHD3-100 your HTPC answer? Benchmark Reviews will fill you in!

Cooler Master Gladiator 600 Case Review
Ninjalane has posted their review of the new and inexpensive case from Cooler Master called the Gladiator 600.

The biggest issue with pre-modded cases is that you are often restricted in what additional mods you can do. The CM Gladiator is clearly a perfect for use out of the box and also an empty canvas for cutting, modding, and painting as you see fit. Right away you can start getting a feel of what you can do with this case without worrying about what has already been done.

Samsung SyncMaster P2370 Slim LCD Review
The TechZone has posted a review of the Samsung SyncMaster P2370

Not everyone needs an LCD monitor is that is chocked full of additional features. You may not need to have a set of integrated speakers. Maybe you don't want to have a USB hub or a wide range of input/output options. You just want something that looks slick and does its job well. If that's the case, then the Samsung P2370 just might be the ticket.

This is quite possibly the slimmest LCD as part of Samsung's lineup, if not among the slimmest LCDs on the market today. The SyncMaster P2370 is a 23-inch widescreen monitor and the display portion measures just 30mm in thickness. That's pretty darn thin.

OCZ XTC Cooler Rev 2 Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the OCZ XTC Cooler Rev 2

Packaging is straight-forward, and installation instructions are on the back. The revision 2 utilizes the same low-noise blue LEDs that the original cooler used. The main difference here is that the revision 2 now has a two-speed switch incorporated into the cooler's body. The construction of the XTC v2 is a bit lighter than the original due to the use of black brushed aluminum instead of the chrome.
