MSI H55-GD65 Gamer Series LGA1156 ATX Motherboard Review
Futurelooks checks out a great budget overclocking motherboard

A key benefit of almost every INTEL P55/P55A motherboard that we've reviewed is the overclocking capability. Chances are you can walk into your favourite computer store and locate several capable INTEL P55 boards capable of unlocking the potential of that stock CPU. How much potential depends on how much you want to spend and what expansion features you want.

ASUS Maximus III Formula motherboard review
Elite Bastards posted a review on the ASUS Maximus III Formula motherboard

ASUS' motherboard layouts always tend to impress, and the Maximus III Formula sticks to that clean but effective layout, which should prevent anything too major in the way of component placement conflicts or the like.

The rear of the motherboard offers up a single PS/2 port for a keyboard, nine USB 2.0 ports (one of which is offered up for ASUS' RoG Connect functionality), a single FireWire and eSATA port and a Gigabit RJ45 network jack.

Kingston SSDNow V Series 30GB Boot Drive Review
Hardware Logic posted a review on the Kingston SSDNow V Series 30GB Boot Drive

Why would Kingston be coming out with a 30GB SSD boot drive if they already have a 40GB for sale? Without providing TRIM or garbage collection, Kingston scrapped the product and wanted to produce something the community was asking for. The 30GB boot drive was born with a new controller and slightly better specs.

Toshiba Satellite E205-S1904 Laptop Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the Toshiba Satellite E205-S1904 Laptop

Best Buy asked that question of its customers--accepting as much feedback as its customers could give and then channeling that information back to the laptop manufacturers it partners with. The ensuing results of this feedback now manifest themselves in the three current Best Buy Blue Label exclusive laptop offerings: the Dell Studio s15Z-2249CPN, Sony Vaio VPCS11FM/S, and Toshiba Satellite E205-S1904.

All three of these laptops have a fair bit in common: They are all mainstream laptop designs, powered by Intel Core i5 processors, they come with 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM memory, and include generous 500GB hard drives. The Toshiba (14-inch display, 2.53GHz Core i5) is the least expensive of the group and is arguably the sexiest-looking of the bunch, and we were fortunate enough to get it in for testing...

Kingston 30GB SSDNow V Series Boot Drive Review
Legit Reviews takes a look at the Kingston 30GB SSDNow V Series Boot Drive

Using Solid-State Drives (SSDs) as boot drives is an economical approach to getting into the SSD hardware realm without spending a ton of money, which is one of the reasons many have been waiting on the sidelines. Kingston would like to invite you in with their $80 30GB SSDNow V Series boot drive and we'd like to introduce it to you.

The idea of an SSD boot drive like the Kingston 30GB V Series drive works well of a lot of users who just can’t dump a load of money into a drive but would really like to get rid of the HDD bottleneck in their system. Performance for this drive was right on with the expectations set by Kingston. The unfortunate part of that is the write speed, which at 50MB/s, falls below hard drive speed and frankly, is disappointing. There were some benchmarks that did show writes exceeding this but they still barely rival most platter drives. While you'll still see a nice performance boost by upgrading from an HDD in Windows and application loading, there are going to be some aspects of your daily use that you may see no change or even a loss in performance due to the writes. Such is life when you are only paying $110 (or $80 for the launch special) for a low capacity SSD...

Kingston SSDNow V Series 30GB Boot Drive Review
TestFreak posted a review on the Kingston SSDNow V Series 30GB Boot Drive

Today for review I've got that new version but it's only a 30gb drive as opposed to the original 40gb capacity. So we've gained TRIM support but lost 10gb in the process?! I've decided to compare it to that original 40gb drive and even a couple others I've got on hand. From my testing it is faster than the original that came out last year, which is a good thing, but it still lacks fast write speeds. The write speeds though are not supposed to be off the charts fast, it's meant to be a boot drive which means you boot your OS from it and use it for reading from mainly, it's meant to be paired with a standard mechanical hard drive where you would keep your programs and use that for writing to. For the price it's well worth it for those that want the speed of an SSD but don't really want to or have the cash to pay for a 'regular' SSD drive. So read on

Nexus RX-6300 Power Supply Review
PureOverclock posted a review on the Nexus RX-6300 Power Supply

The Nexus RX-6300 is a mid-range power supply in terms of power output, offering 630W to consumers that don't require a monster kilowatt unit. The 630W doesn't appear to compromise on aesthetics or functionality, as it looks very sleek and offers tha same modular, colour-coded connections that were present in its more powerful 1000W sibling. It would appear that good things may indeed come in smaller packages.

Kingston SSDNow V-Series 30GB Solid State Boot Drive Review
ThinkComputers.org posted Kingston SSDNow V-Series 30GB Solid State Boot Drive Review

Upgrading from a normal hard drive to a solid state drive can be quite expensive and for most people it really does not make that much sense. Solid state capacities are getting larger, but that just brings the price of the drives up even higher. Kingston wants to help people out who want to take advantage of the blazing speeds of solid state drives, but dont want to break the bank. They have just released the SSDNow V-Series 30GB solid state boot drive. This drive will retail at around $100 and will allow you to load your operating system and applications on it for fast load times, and then you can just put all of your media on a normal SATA drive. This is a great upgrade option for people looking to get a solid state drive, but might not have that much extra money for one.

Mushkin Mulholland Drive 2GB USB Drive Review
OCC has published a review on the Mushkin Mulholland Drive 2GB USB Drive

The Mushkin Mulholland Drive was able to perform quite well when it was stacked up against the other drives that are currently out on the market, the synthetic testing was not where the drive was able to prove itself as much as during the realworld file transfer testing. I was quite impressed to see that a flash drive that costs just under $9 when purchased directly from Mushkin's website was able to perform the way that it was able to.

Samsung PN58B650 58 Inch Plasma TV Review
Tweaknews posted a review on the Samsung PN58B650 58 Inch Plasma TV

The Samsung PN58B650 is one of those products that can be a little confusing to sum up in a couple paragraphs. For one, this TV is quite a bit cheaper than the higher end 850 series model, but other than the dimensions, it has a better overall visual viewing experience.
