Razer Piranha Gaming Communicator Review
Bigbruin.com has posted a review on the Razer Piranha Gaming Communicator

Gaming is where this headset shined. While the Piranha is not a surround sound headset, it did exhibit a great stereo environment. Using Call of Duty 4 as my latest game of choice, I put the Piranha through a long gaming session... I immediately noticed that there were a few details in my game I had been missing.

Ultra X Pro 600W Psu Review
Driver Heaven posted a review on the Ultra X Pro 600W Psu

Ultra have some high end power supplies available on the market, such as their mind boggling 1.6kW unit, however for the majority of enthusiasts this is overkill. Today we will take a look at the more modest X-Pro 600W, a unit Ultra have designed for budget-conscious enthusiasts. According to Ultra, the X-Pro 600W offers high performance within its output range and they back it up with a lifetime warranty. The retail price of the unit is very reasonable ($130) and today we will ascertain if the performance is as good as the price.

XFX GeForce 9800GX2 1GB Review
InsideHW.com has posted an article about XFX GeForce 9800GX2 1GB graphics card

DualGPU systems are very trendy in recent time and whole story begun with ATi "Gemini" project. Idea was born long time ago, when two graphics processors were integrated into one graphics card, but that idea didn't get much popularity until now. On the other hand, ATi Radeon HD 3870X2 turned out as accessible to most users and at the same time very powerful solution. So all doubts in making investment in such card can be shattered in pieces.

Xigmatek HDT-SD964 Exposed Heatpipe Base Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted Xigmatek HDT-SD964 Exposed Heatpipe Base Heatsink Review

The Xigmatek HDT-SD964 is a potent CPU cooler because it puts four copper heatpipes in direct contact with the processor. The technique is called 'Heatpipe Direct Touch,' and for today's class of heatspreader capped processors it's one of the best means of keeping the CPU running cool.

Back in January at the 2008 CES, Logitech introduced five new products which would be released in the coming months.

The diNovo Mini looked extremely promising at the show, with its TouchPad and full QWERTY keyboard, and we have been anxiously awaiting the opportunity to review it for you all.

TekNmotion Pulsar SX PC Headphones Review
OCC has published a new review on the TekNmotion Pulsar SX PC Headphones

The Pulsar was louder, but it did have the advantage of being powered via USB. When it comes to quality of sound, the Pulsar headphones were lacking compared to the competitors. I tested the Pulsar's mobile ability and I must say I wasn't very impressed; the inline controller and the battery pack were always in the way while listening to my MP3 player. I don't foresee anyone using the battery pack in the future. While it was a good idea in theory, TekNmotion either needs to remove the battery pack or make it more compact in its next attempt.

Samsung SyncMaster 245BW Widescreen LCD Monitor Review
Benchmark Reviews has released a new article on the Samsung SyncMaster 245BW Widescreen LCD Monitor

We have spent a lot of time at Benchmark Reviews talking about video cards recently - and with good reason. The discrete graphics segment of the market is currently afire with many outstanding price-to-performance options. When we looked at the offerings from the two biggest players, the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX and ATI/AMD HD 3870, we saw that game performance even when scaled to high resolution was simply outstanding. This begs the question; why with such low-cost entrance into owning cards capable of "high-rez" gaming, most users are still running a display of 19" or less?Monitors are arguably the most important component for users, getting more usage than any other component of a PC. The only reasonable answer would have to be cost, as until recently displays above the 19" mark have been prohibitively expensive. That's where the SAMSUNG SyncMaster 245BW enters the scene as very attractively priced 24" widescreen LCD monitor.

Razer Piranha Gaming Communicator Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Razer Piranha Gaming Communicator

The Razer Piranha Gaming Communicator headset is perfect for gamers of all types. This headset is geared towards gamers, but in my mind, is perfect for anyone looking for a quality headset with a quality microphone, especially those who use voice chat on the PC. Most of the headsets that I have had have been rather uncomfortable for extended periods of time, but the Razer Piranha is different; it provides comfort for extended periods of use. If you're in the market for a new headset the Piranha is definitely something you should consider.

Visiontek Radeon HD 3870 X2 Overclocked Edition Review
TechSpot posted a review on the Visiontek Radeon HD 3870 X2 Overclocked Edition

Today we are reviewing no ordinary Radeon HD 3870 X2 graphics card, as we take a look at the Visiontek Radeon HD 3870 X2 Overclocked Edition. This is quite possibly the most impressive 3870 X2 graphics card available today, with the only possible exception being the ASUS version we reviewed a few months back. Like the ASUS, this Visiontek card aims at offering a greatly improved cooling solution, quad DVI-outputs, along with some factory overclocking to top it all off.

Nexus XiR-2300 Aluminum Ed. CPU Cooler Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Nexus XiR-2300 Aluminum Ed. CPU Cooler

The founding fathers of Nexus had a dream, a dream that one-day end users could use powerful computers without the need for earplugs. While it may seem as a play on words and a couple of phrases from famous speeches, the statement holds true, Nexus is all about quiet computing.

Today we will be looking at the Nexus XiR-2300 Aluminum Edition CPU Cooler. This product was designed by Nexus to keep a CPU cool while reducing the audible fan noise that is typical in stock fans. As you can imagine, if this XiR-2300 has the Aluminum label then there is a copper version as well. We will be looking at the XiR-3500 Copper Edition later this week.

If you're going to go wireless with peripherals, why not do it all the way, and ditch the wire on your keyboard?

How well does the ensemble work, and are the features worth the money? Today, we'll be finding out.

NZXT Tempest Mid-Tower Review
Techgage published a review of NZXT's latest mid-tower chassis.

Finding a quality mid-tower for under $100 doesn't happen to often, but NZXT looks to hit the mark with their Tempest. It offers plenty of space (and even support for eATX), four large pre-mounted fans, an intuitive internal design and sharp looks, making it a wise choice for any new build.

XFX GeForce 9600 GT XXX 512MB Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the XFX GeForce 9600 GT XXX 512MB video card

NVIDIA's GeForce 9600 GT based products have been around for like two months now. Those of you who decided to wait a little before purchasing this product, I can only say bravo. Because at this very moment prices are dropping, the 'OC', thus special edition versions are widely available bringing even more value to you well spent money.

Now we spotted the exact triple X model as tested today for roughly 159 USD / £129.19 and quite frankly, you don't even need this product review to understand that's just a really good deal.

Guru3D did so anyway ... wanna find out if this lion cub roars ? ..

Sparkle 8800GTS 512 MB Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Sparkle 8800GTS 512 MB.

Skoda has run a pretty funny ad-campaign here in Sweden. The ad-movie starts with a voice telling us about Skoda’s high-tech factory. You get to see the robots that build the cars and how thorough everyone is checking everything is alright. Then at the end of the ad you just briefly see the guy who prices the cars; a clown, and the ad ends with “Skoda – built by professionals, priced by clowns”. It’s a pretty funny and clever ad-campaign. So what does that have to do with video cards? Well, I am pretty sure NVIDIA could have chosen to run a similar campaign saying “NVIDIA cards - built by professionals, named by clowns”.

Harsh? I’m not sure about that. Today we are reviewing a NVIDIA 8800GTS 512 MB card from Sparkle. Some of you might remember that there also are 8800GTS cards with 320MB and 640 MB. And this is where the confusion starts. The 8800GTS 512 MB is using the newer G92 chipset while the 8800GTS 368MB and 640MB are using the older G80 core. The G92 core is much more efficient and has already proven itself on the 8800GT. In fact, it is the same GPU used in the new GeForce 9800GTX cards. This of course will just confuse buyers who might think that a 640Mb 8800GTS must be better than a 512 MB 8800GTS. It is extra unfortunate as the GeForce 8800GTS 512 MB turns out to be a GPU that offers a lot of bang for the buck.
