3D Game Man posted a review on the Crucial PC3200 ECC Server Memory

Crucial had no real huge surprises up their sleeves here; just another example of a great product from a great company. These memory modules were submitted to both Sandra and Everest burn-in and stability tests for 24hours straight and have not even had a hiccup! The modules during this testing barely became warm to the touch.

Viper Lair posted a review on the Asus EAX1650XT Video Card

The Asus EAX1650XT enables you to make a viable HTPC graphics solution. Great graphics output, and interconnect cables for DVI (which would include a DVI--gt;HDMI cable solution) and HDTV (YpbPr). The silence of the Asus cooling solution (as long as you are not Overclocking it), along with the affordable price point makes this a logical choice for such a solution. If you are seriously looking at building an HTPC, the Asus EAX1650XT should be at the top of your list.

ThinkComputers.org posted ViewSonic VX2235 22-inch HD Widescreen Monitor Review

ViewSonic is a name that when we hear it we think of monitors. One of my first monitors was a ViewSonic. Today we will be taking a look at ViewSonic's VX2235wm 22-inch HD Widescreen LCD Monitor. Any display you get these days should be widescreen, the VX2235wm is not only widescreen it offers a 5ms response time, 700:1 contrast ratio, and integrated speakers. All of these features are great for gaming, movies, and just basic computers use. So let's take a look.

TechAddicts posted Antec NeoHE 550 Watt Modular Power Supply Review

Overall, the Antec NeoHE is also an amazing power supply, when compared to the Earthwatts. For under $110, you get a power supply that offers 550 watts of power, two PCI-Express power cables, great stability, and quiet operation. This power supply can be thought of as a modular version of the Earthwatts, since everything about it is almost identical.

TheTechLounge posted a review on Apple TV

Last year, to much fanfare, Apple introduced the Apple TV (then called iTV) to the world. Breaking with Apple tradition, they announced it in September, long before the actual hardware release. The device is positioned as a set top box to hook up to your nice HD or widescreen TV. Six months after the first announcement, the Apple TV finally sees the light of day and we've got our hands on one. How does it play with my beta copy of Windows Home Server? Is it really worth $300 plus tax? Read on to find out how much I like it.

OSWeekly.com looked at the sorry state of WiFi support with Feisty Beta

I have been keeping up with most of the reviews for the new beta release of Ubuntu Feisty with great interest. As a full-time user of Ubuntu Dapper and Edgy, I’m, to say the least, "comfortable" in allaspects of getting the most from my Linux experience.

Techgage takes a look at OCZ's NVIDIA branded PC2-7200 kit.

We took a look at a PC2-7200 kit from OCZ last year and it proved to be one of the best kits we've ever laid our mitts on. Today we are taking a look at another PC2-7200 kit, approved and branded by NVIDIA. Are we going to be impressed once again?

As a less expensive alternative to the nForce 680i SLI boards, the P5N32-E SLI Plus board is a good choice for the gamer wanting SLI on their motherboard without a large price tag.

Linux.com posted an article of GNOME Foundation's Dave Neary

Many free software advocates make a name for themselves by being involved with a single project. Dave Neary casts a wider net. He is a GNOME Foundation member, community manager of the OpenWengo project, and a former contributor to the GIMP project.

TrustedReviews have looked at the ZyXEL NSA-2400 NAS appliance

The NSA-2400 is equipped with a decent 1.3GHz Via C3 processor although this is only teamed up with 128MB of memory, which cannot be upgraded. You get a single Gigabit Ethernet port and a pair of USB 2.0 ports at the rear with a third USB port on the front panel. All three USB ports can be used for connecting external storage devices but the appliance doesn’t support sharing USB printers. On connection a USB device is automatically shared on the network with NTFS file systems restricted to read-only.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Shure SE210 Noise Isolating Earphones

The SE420s employed a dual driver design and produced superb sound across a whole range of music. The SE310s were considerably cheaper than the SE420s, but didn’t quite blow me away in the same manner. In fact the problem with the SE310s is that the price wasn’t quite low enough when compared to competing products, like the Ultimate Ears super.fi 5 Pros. But the SE210s that I’m looking at now could well be the best value, high-quality earphones out there.

Once upon a time there lived a PC who killed video cards. He was a nice, quiet PC, middle aged and had always performed his duties well. At some point he changed though. He went through several video cards without regard to brand or price and eventually a lengthy investigation uncovered the defect in him responsible. It was his power supply. This guide shows you how to replace your power supply and what factors to look for when buying..
