JLab B-Flex X-Bass USB Laptop Speaker Review @ Everything USB
Everything USB is pleased to announce our latest review on JLab B-Flex X-Bass Laptop Speaker.

If you're reading this on a laptop, the odds are good that your speakers can cause an audiophile to suffer severe internal bleeding. And while that's not necessarily a bad thing, you could probably still stand to upgrade your speakers to a nice USB alternative with a little more oomph. Today we're taking an in-depth look at JLab's B-Flex X-Bass, an odd little system that incorporates a subwoofer into a package smaller than a can of Red Bull. Press on to see how it stacks up in our review.

Verdict:
The B-Flex X-Bass delivers amazingly loud and vibrant sound for its diminutive size, but suffers from a lack of mids and highly directional sound.

Pros:
+ USB digital audio
+ Excellent volume
+ Passive subwoofer delivers strong bass response
+ Single connection with zero excess cable slack
+ Not constrained to desk or laptop use

Cons:
- Midtones are lacking without EQ tweak
- Sound is highly directional from side of laptop
- Minimal stereo separation
- No analog input for MP3 players

Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6670 @ TechwareLabs
Today we have the Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6670. This is, among other things a low-profile graphics card capable of being installed in an HTPC with half-height PCI brackets. Coming in at just under $90, this card is "inexpensive" in terms of the graphics world. I personally would expect to be able to play dated, and non-graphic intensive games with ease, let's see if the HD 6670 can deliver - but first, lets get Sapphire's take.

NZXT HALE82 750-watt Power Supply Review @ Tweaktown
NZXT expanded the features just a little bit on the HALE82 power supplies. This time around we get a full range of protections with the addition of over temperature protection. Usually when this is added they also rate the unit for 100% continuous output at 50C but oddly enough, we couldn't find any documentation that the unit had the rating. The power supply still sports both native and modular cabling.

NZXT has the HALE82 power supplies readily available through all of your normal online merchants. Once again, the cheapest we were able to find the unit online at the Directon for a total of $114.99 with free shipping.
