BurnOutPC.com has just posted their review on three Revoltec Gaming Pads

All three pads performed as they should. Coming up with new types of mouse pads is hard, Revoltec hasn't succeed in that but they do offer three remarkably cheap gaming surfaces that look and perform great. As I said in the XTracPads Ripper XXL mouse mat review and from then on. It's not a matter of finding a good mouse pad, since there are so many available, but it's a matter of price. The highest quality, for the lowest price. Both the Basic and Advanced do not stand out compared to many other available mouse pads, but the Advanced does.

XSReviews has reviewed the Thermalright High Rise HR07 memory cooler

When people think of air coolers, they think of huge tower CPU heatsinks, stylish exhaust fan setups on GPUs and miniaturised chipset fan and 'sink combos. However little effort has ever been put into memory cooling. Attemps to cool RAM in the past have been met with more ratings with tiny 40 and 60mm fans just not being upto the job. Thermalright has stepped upto the challenge with their High Rise HR07 memory coolers; lets see if they can go where others have not.

A True Review posted a review on the Noctua Low Noise Computer Case Fans

Maybe the most exciting component in your system is your case fan, probably not. Though, one would hardly argue against the fact that a computer case fan is the most practical component for removing hot air from a system and renewing it with fresh cool air. An annoying side effect of using fans is their noise level. This is why companies like Noctua in Austria are designing extremely quiet fan technology.

C.O.D. takes a look at the Antec Performance One - Thermaltake Big Water 735

There are times in a computer's life when air cooling will no longer fit the bill. Unfortunately, most main stream computer users are sometimes afraid to experiment. This should no longer be the case because water and electronics were meant for each other.

If you have been following computing, things have been changing, duh. As things get faster, they require greater cooling. As things got faster, heat sinks got bigger and bigger, making more noise than my grandmother in the bathroom. For this reason, some of us have ventured into mixing water and electricity to bring the noise down and the speeds up.

Thermaltake is not new when it comes to cooling, and now they are trying to do what they do best, bringing what the enthusiasts have been doing for years to everyone else. Enter the Big Water 735 complete water cooling solution.

3D Game Man posted a review on the Enermax Uber Chakra Case

Other than the Enermax Uber Chakra Case not being aluminum, it's very impressive. The styling on this product is very well done and allows easy access to the many drive bays. There is also a very convenient on-top interface with power button, reset button, 2 USB ports, mic jack, headphone jack, and eSATA port. The included 250mm fan is outstanding since it moves a lot of air, but remains extremely quiet. There's even plenty of room to work on the inside. If you're budget conscious but still require a full size case, I would highly recommend this product. Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the end.

GideonTech posted a review on the Icemat Second Edition

Over the years, there have been a number of companies that have come out with large and solid material mouse surfaces. Not to be left in the dust, Icemat went back to the drawing board and came up with a second edition of their flagship glass mouse surface, aptly named 'Second Edition'. Now aside from being larger at 10 x 12 inches, it also comes in a variety of colors to compliment your setup.

Techgage takes a look at two of Thermaltakes TMG coolers, the A2 and AT2

Thermaltakes slogan for their TMG cooler lineup is "Quality Life Starts With Silence." We have been pleased with the cooling performance of their products in the past, but silence and good cooling ability are two difficult things to put together. Let's take a look at how well both the A2 CPU cooler and AT2 GPU cooler perform in our tests.

Tweaknews.net has posted Ultra E-Torque Black ATX Computer Case Review

Overall, the eTorque is a decent case for the money, but a few bad marks bring it down from a Top Rank product. The lack of case fans is something to keep in mind if you're looking at this case, the front panel door doesn't have much room for fan controllers, and the top mounted USB/FireWire jacks all take the eTorque down a few notches.

Neoseeker published a review of SuperTalent's PC2-8000 T1000UX2G5 DDR2
memory.

The modules are rated at 1000-5-5-5-15 but they readily ran at 1000-4-4-4-12 which in my opinion is significantly superior to 1100-5-5-5-15

As a matter of fact, the SuperTalent modules were able to run at up to 1069-4-4-4-12 at the default 2.2V, so they exceeded PC8500 at 4-4-4-12 - which in my opinion is excellent performance for memory only rated at PC8000 5-5-5-15!
