With the BQ656 INWIN is presenting a very nice small Form factor case. The case is delivered with a mechanism to mount it to the back of an monitor and can be hide almost perfectly.

Not too long ago Antec introduced the CPX form factor, a design of their own, which allows for much larger PSUs than ATX. Antec claims that the larger size of the CPX power supply units will allow all manufacturers to create better and cheaper products due to the space increase and the improved airflow. Today we will have a look at Antecs best CPX form factor power supply, the CP-1000. As the name suggests, the CP-1000 can output up to 1kW and Antec claims that it is designed to bridge performance with value.

Today for review Mobilefun has sent me over what is most likely the world's smallest Bluetooth headset from BlueNEXT. It's the BN888 and yes it's tiny coming in at less than half the length of most other headsets out there today. It reminds me of those earpieces you'd see in the movies that special agents and such wear. Being small though doesn't mean much if it doesn't perform well, so read on to learn more

MSI are hitting us hard and fast with new models that have been standing out compared to the competition. No doubt this is the joys of working with both NVIDIA and ATI, though, because it seems that in the near future we'll get upgraded versions of the new GTX 400 series cards from the company, too.

Today however, we're looking at something not quite as high end; a bit of a love it, hate it kind of card, depending on how you look at it. The HD 5830 to some is a model that is spot on to their budget; to others it's too expensive and they think a HD 5850 is a better option. Maybe a HD 5850 is a better option, but if your budget is your budget then it doesn't matter and there's no denying it's faster than the HD 5770.

This 750 W power supply from Coolmax can be found on Newegg.com for only USD 60, a price way below the one from good 750 W units we've already reviewed. Let's see if you can save money buying this unit or if it is better to stick with a product from a different brand.

Thermaltake are easily recognizable as one of the stalwarts of case and cooling design, not only do they cover quite a wide array of products outside of these two departments but they have been doing so for over 10 years now.

It was their V5 Black Edition Chassis that attracted attention at CES earlier in the year, boasting features that allow it to be an 'on the move case', targeted primarily at the LAN party gamer.

The Super Talent SuperSpeed USB 3.0 RAIDDrive works in any USB port, but when used in conjunction with a USB 3.0 port it becomes a speed demon! Today we take a look at the Super Talent 64GB RAIDDrive and discover that it can reach speeds of 280MB/s read and nearly 130MB/s write on our test system! Read on to see how this drive performs as you won't want to miss this one!

The Super Talent RAIDDrive is one of the most interesting products that we have come across in some time. It's not every day you see a USB 3.0 Flash Drive, let alone a monster drive like this that is running a pair of SATA controllers in a RAID configuration. It's super fast and is ideal for those that want the ultimate USB Flash drive. When using the Super Talent 64GB RAIDDrive we found insane drive performance on the benchmarks, but our real world use showed that the drive improved file transfer speeds roughly 2.5X over USB 2.0 performance. There is nothing slow about this drive as we were hitting 280MB/s write and 128MB/s read, which is amazing for any portable USB device...

Overall, the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 is an excellent premium 1080p monitor for the consumer wanting to pay more to get a top of the line product. The picture quality, color reproduction and contrast alone makes up for the difference in cost and after a weeks worth of use, the money will be deemed a good investment.
