Crucial RealSSD C300 128 GB SATA 6 Gb/s Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the Crucial RealSSD C300 128 GB SATA 6 Gb/s

Crucial's ReadSSD C300 is the first solid state drive to support the new SATA 6 Gb/s standard. Unlike many of the competition, the drive is not based on a Sandforce controller, but uses one from Marvell instead. We tested both on SATA-II and SATA 6 Gb/s to check if the new interface can really make a difference.

DXG USA DXG-595V HD Video Camera Review
Bigbruin.com has published a review on the DXG USA DXG-595V HD Video Camera

The DXG USA DXG-595V is a good entry level camera that offers some desired features for those looking for "point and shoot" simplicity. For a low cost camera, I was very pleased with the performance. It is extremely easy to use and produces decent video for the price. The still images it produces are good under optimal lighting, and can be taken at up to 5.0 megapixels.

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD Review
TechwareLabs reviews the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD

Today we will be looking at a most unusual beast, the Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD. The Sound Blaster name instantly brings up thoughts of gaming audio, and the X-Fi chip certainly provides the muscle for that. Take a look at the card itself though, and you could be forgiven for thinking that the designers could not have cared less about gaming. The box prominently features talk of SNR, THD, ASIO drivers and interchangeable op-amps—all the hallmarks of a music-oriented card.

EVGA GeForce GTX 470 Hydro Copper FTW Video Card Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the EVGA GeForce GTX 470 Hydro Copper FTW Video Card

EVGA teamed up with Swiftech to deliver a water cooling solution for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 'For The Win' edition video card that makes it hard to ignore. The EVGA Hydro Copper waterblock uses a 0.6x0.6mm thin pin matrix, and the base plate is made of chrome plated electrolytic C110 copper which gives it a clean look. The integrated heat pipe connects to the power mosfet heatsink for optimal cooling and the end result is a card capable of massive overclocks!

Panasonic TC-P58VT25 3D HDTV Review
MissingRemote has released a new review on the Panasonic TC-P58VT25 3D HDTV

Following Pioneer’s exit from the plasma display panel (PDP) market Panasonic moved from also-ran to market leader by delivering the right mix of performance and value to the full range of plasma buyers. Ultimately the Pioneer Kuro failed to find the right balance between features and a price that enough buyers were willing or able to pay, so while it created a useful reference point the real question Panasonic needs to answer with its plasmas is if they can deliver enough of the features that enthusiasts want at a cost that the masses can afford. Keep reading to take a look at 2010’s range topping TC-P58VT25 (part of the VT25 series); which delivers excellent picture quality, 3D and a decent IPTV offering.

NEC PA271W Professional LCD Monitor Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the NEC PA271W Professional LCD Monitor

For all but the most budget conscious buyers, piecing together a home brewed rig often entails forking over a premium for certain components, depending on what you're trying to accomplish. If you're a gamer, you probably bought a high-end graphics card (or at least that's what you should have done). Do you spend more time ripping videos than fragging your friends? Then chances are you allocated a bigger percentage of your budget to your CPU than on other parts. But for professional designers, graphic gurus, and anyone else who relies on pinpoint color accuracy, it's the monitor that matters most. That sub-$200 TN panel you spotted in the clearance bin at Walmart just isn't going to have the moxie to handle color matching chores for that mission critical photo project you're working on.

This is where NEC's MultiSync PA271W LCD monitor comes into play. Armed with a 10-bit P-IPS panel, internal 14-bit programmable 3D lookup tables (LUTs), and a generous 2560x1440 pixel resolution, the PA271W is truly a professional grade tool for those instances where a typical TN panel just won't cut it...

Toshiba T235-S1345 AMD Turion II Notebook Review - Entering the Nile
PC Perspective posted a review on the Toshiba T235-S1345 AMD Turion II Notebook

Earlier this year AMD released big news: 135 new design wins with major manufacturers including Acer, ASUS, Dell HP, Lenovo, Toshiba and more. These victories are a badly needed boost for AMD, which has been trailing Intel in the mobile space for years. These many of these new designs are based on a new platform AMD is calling Nile - and the Toshiba T235 is among the first Nile notebooks to hit the market.

AZZA Hurrican 2000 Review
OCC has published a review on the AZZA Hurrican 2000

I am extremely happy with what I have found with the AZZA Hurrican 2000. The case has plenty of room, allows for easy wire management, has an attractive look and a painted interior, includes 8 fans, and is relatively inexpensive to a lot of other comparable cases. The Hurrican 2000 implements a lot of new things that I really like that I haven't found anything on other cases. The top two of these things on my list is the loads of extra space behind the right side panel simply due to the shape of the panel, and the way that the tool-less hard drive trays work (removal/installation).

AMD Radeon HD 6850 and 6870 Video Card Preview
Legit Reviews posted a preview on the AMD Radeon HD 6850 and 6870 Video Cards

A little over a year ago, AMD released the ATI Radeon HD 5000 family of graphics products and by doing so, AMD became the first company to offer DirectX 11 compatibility when Windows 7 was launched. This was a big deal and over the past year AMD has successfully released eleven video cards in the Radeon HD 5000 series and sold more than 25 million DX11 video cards. What is really interesting is that NVIDIA is still releasing more cards in their GeForce 400 series of products. NVIDIA has just five DirectX 11 cards released and the company still does not have a solid top-to-bottom DirectX 11 product stack like AMD does. AMD on the other hand is going to be releasing their next generation of GPUs, the AMD Radeon HD 6800 Graphics Series later this week. The first two cards that will be released will be the AMD Radeon HD 6870 and AMD Radeon HD 6850 graphics cards. Unlike in past years AMD won't be starting with their flagship video cards, but rather a pair of cards that are positioned in the Gamers Sweet Spot” as they like to call it.

ASUS VG236H 3D Monitor and NVIDIA 3D Surround Review
Neoseeker posted a review on ASUS VG236H 3D Monitor and NVIDIA 3D Surround

Neoseeker's already enjoyed the madness of six monitors at once, so going back to three all lined up in a row this time may not seem as impressive. Things are a little different when we factor in how all three monitors are in fact 3D displays. We've put three ASUS VG236H monitors on the bench for the purpose of testing NVIDIA's 3D Surround technology, so check our latest review to see if it's all that it's cracked up to be!

The HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer) has become much more mainstream over the past several years. Once only a component of true hardware / media enthusiasts, the HTPC is finding its way into the homes of millions of average consumers thanks to the emergence of online video providers like Hulu, Netflix and iTunes.
