Modders-Inc has a new review online on the VIZO Luxon Advanced 3.5 Hard Drive Enclosure

How many times have you found yourself in a situation that you wish you had access to your files on your computer, while not at your computer? Thumb drives, CD's, and DVD's only hold so much data and can leave you sitting there wanting more. The most common solution to this problem is using an external hard drive enclosure.

ASE Labs as posted an article on free software

You might have heard or read that Linux or Firefox is "free software". This piece of information might have been accompanied by something confusing about beer and, more importantly, a link where you can download it for free. So, what's the big deal? You get to see freeware all day, don't you? And where's that beer?

Techdomain has a new review - Swiftech H2O-Apex Liquid Cooling Kit

Well, I really don’t know where to start, I can’t really find anything serious to complain about. The kit is one of the most complete kits I’ve installed to date, I didn’t have to run around and search for anything, it was all there (except for the distilled water). Everything fit like the instructions said and the performance was outstanding, even coming extremely close to systems at twice the price.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Vadim Custom Fusion LQX

If you ask the average person on the street who they think makes the most desirable gaming computers on the planet, they'll probably mention names like Voodoo PC and Alienware but that's where they'd be oh-so wrong. That crown is firmly held by the little known system builder from Harrow, Vadim Computers.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Samsung SyncMaster 305T 30in Monitor

About two years ago I looked at the 30in Apple Cinema Display and was amazed at how useful a 2,560 x 1,600 desktop display could be. At the time there wasn’t a competing product available, and the price of the panel was over £2,000. Since then, other manufacturers have got in on the 30in display act, with Dell making the biggest splash and also helping bring the price down. Now Samsung has entered the market with the SyncMaster 305T and as is usually the case with Samsung these days, it has got pretty much everything right.

XSReviews has reviewed the Sapphire x1950 Pro

Although many have been a bit disappointed that the latest hardware renditions that ATI released didn't take the GTX performance crown, they tend to forget that the money is in the mid to low range cards, not the top end. This is a market that is still held pretty firmly by ATI with their x1950 Pro cards. Today I have Sapphire's version of the series which has proved itself time and time again; let's see how this one fairs against new challengers from the 8600 series.
Sapphire x1950 Pro Review

HotHardware evaluate the features, bundles, and performance of three mainstream GeForce 8 series cards, the MSI NX8600GT T2D256E, the Gigabyte GV-NX86S256H with Silent-Pipe III, and the MSI NX8500GT TD256E.

All three of these cards fall within the sub-$200 price range, but they don't perform at similar levels due to difference GPU and memory clock speeds. Head on over to the site and check them out, it's interesting to see how these current DX10-class cards stack up to last-generation's mainstream offerings.

techPowerUp posted a review on the Mushkin XP2-8500 4 GB memory

Mushkin's XP2-8500 4 GB DDR2 memory is the only kit on the market that can run DDR2-1066 in a 4 GB configuration. While other manufacturers have to use CL6 @ 800 MHz, Mushkin can use CL5 @ 1066, at around 2.30 V. Having 4 GB of system memory may soon be the recommended configuration when running the memory-hungry Windows Vista. The only drawback of this memory is its price: $679.

Driver Heaven posted a review on the Saitek Obsidian Mouse

Some gamers may know Saitek as the maker of some superb Chess Computers. In fact, Garry Kasparov, a World Champion chess player, has been associated with Saitek for over 21 years.

With a rich history spanning 28 years, Saitek provides quality products manufactured in its own factory to assure the highest quality of merchandise designed to perform for many years to come.

Today, we have a brand new product from Saitek called, OBSIDIAN. This is a wireless rechargeable mouse and comes attractively packaged and well protected within a hard plastic cover within the box.

Tech ARP posted a new editorial: Dead LAN & Frozen Mice In Windows Vista

Everyone loves to hate Windows Vista, but you can't blame some of them when they hit snags that never happened in Windows XP. Take, for example, our recent problems with LAN controllers inexplicably dying or USB mice freezing randomly.

We expect it will take Microsoft and their partners about a year or so to eventually solve these teething problems. Fortunately, some problems have a workaround.

OCIA.net takes a look at the be quiet! 700w Power Supply in their latest review

The power supply itself is finished in a high gloss gunmetal paint job which looks great. The right side (or left, depending on how you look at it) of the power supply displays the typical specs sticker found on all units. This unit has four 12v rails, each sporting 18A. This should be plenty for most systems, but we will see how it performs on the highly overclocked 8800GTX SLI test system in just a bit.

APH Networks posted a review on the NZXT Duet Media Center Chassis

To an extent, your computer case defines your computer. If you get a 1U rackmount chassis, chances are that you are building a server. If you are using a mATX small form factor case, the aim is portability. A general mid-tower or full-tower case is used for mainstream and performance computing. As computers are now an integral part of many living rooms, the trend of stylish HTPC cases are becoming an important product line of many case manufacturers. NZXT, established in 2004, is starting their quest to become an important player in this market. When they contacted me roughly a month ago in regards to reviewing their products, what really interested me is their NZXT Duet -- a HTPC case that is designed to accommodate both vertical and horizontal placement. Besides external appearance, how well is this case engineered, and how does it perform? Although we haven't reviewed a computer case for quite a while now, it's time for us to get back to it -- and let's examine NZXT's Duet today.

BlueTomorrow.com has posted a new article on Bluetooth Cell Phones

Does your state have laws about driving while using a cell phone? Chances are, if it doesn?t, it soon will. While some states, like New Jersey and New York have completely banned cell phone use while driving, there are partial bans in others like Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, while other states have not yet tackled the issue. Fines and loss of driving privileges wait for drivers using hand-held cell phones while driving. Accident statistics and new safety laws are the culprits of these new laws and Bluetooth cell phones are the answer.

TrustedReviews have looked at the iLuv i9200 iPod Hi-Fi

The iLuv is a clear throwback to those 90s cool wall-mounted CD players with sliding doors from the likes of Nakamichi and Bang and Olufsen. You can see the discs spinning and everything! The cool bit is that at £170 it’s much cheaper than anything you’ll ever get from those companies, so if you ever wanted one of those, now’s your chance.
