Lenovo IBM ThinkPad T60p Review
TrustedReviews looked at the Lenovo IBM ThinkPad T60p

I've always liked ThinkPads. Despite the fact that these notebooks have a tendancy to be more expensive than the competition, I've generally been of the opinion that the extra cost is worth it. Many people think that the ThinkPad styling is dated and dull, but as far as I'm concerned black will always be the new black. The true beauty of the ThinkPad styling is that you could have a three year old model under your arm, but it will look just like the latest generation machine, and there will be absolutely no mistaking the fact that you've got a ThinkPad.

Sex, cars, football, newspapers, even ham! All of these things are far more interesting than your average USB key. However, none of them are as good at transporting your precious data from computer to computer, and that is the reason we’re looking at the new Corsair Flash Readout drive today.

CoolMax CTG-1000 1000W ATX Power Supply Review
Bigbruin.com posted a review on the CoolMax CTG-1000 1000W ATX Power Supply

The CoolMax CTG-1000 is certainly one powerful power supply, there is no question about that. It will provide more than sufficient power to almost any system out there, and honestly most systems out there don't need this much power. As systems become more powerful, with dual core / dual processor setups and perhaps quad SLI, the demand for this type of power will become more real. I expect that we would then see more of these 1000W (or larger) power supplies.

ZBoard Gaming Keyboard Review
Hardware Secrets posted a review on the ZBoard Gaming Keyboard

The keyboard has stood by the sidelines as every other PC peripheral has undergone a variety of chances over the years. Sure, there are wireless and multimedia keyboards in the market but the basic concept has remained the same since the days of the typewriter. Ideazon has broken the mold with the Zboard, a special keyboard whose keyset can be swapped for a game-specific one. Getting ready to play Doom 3? Change the keyset on your Zboard for a specially designed one for that game and play like a pro.

Biostar TForce P965 Deluxe Motherboard Review
PC Stats put up a Biostar TForce P965 Deluxe Motherboard Review

In this review, PCSTATS is testing the Biostar TForce P965 Deluxe motherboard. This board is based on Intel's P965 Northbridge and ICH8 Southbridge chipsets. With Intel phasing out IDE, motherboard manufacturers have been scrambling trying to fill the void since Serial ATA optical drives are difficult to find. Biostar address the lack of native IDE channels by integrating a separate IDE controller onto the Tforce P965 motherboard in the form of a VIA VT6410. Other integrated goodies on this full sized ATX board include Gigabit LAN,7.1 channel high definition Intel Azalia audio, a flurry of USB2.0 jacks, and expansion slots.

Canon Digital IXUS 65 Review
BIOS Magazine reviewed the Canon Digital IXUS 65

The Digital IXUS 65 is compact and robust enough to carry around in
shirt or trouser pocket, it's a joy to use, and its image quality is among
the best in its class - accurate colour reproduction, good exposure and the right auto focus makes it easy to take beautiful pictures. This is also helped by the camera's simple and pleasant to use operation. Overall it's highly recommended and leaves little room for complaint. Maybe the battery could be a bit longer lasting and a little more zoom would also be welcome, but it's still a compelling offering.

Jetway 775GT2-LOG Review
OCW posted a review on the Jetway 775GT2-LOG motherboard

Jetway 775GT2-LOG is the first NV based board that we got hold of that supports the new Core2 Duo / Extreme CPU. This board is based on thenew chipset NF 570 SLI Intel edition + MCP 430 south bridge. This board comes with a 3 PCIe x16 design that makes it easy for you to just run in SLI or non SLI mode by plugging the card or cards into the respective colour slots. So, how well will it perform against the other Intel based chipsets. Stay tuned.

SteelPad QcK Heavy Mouse Surface Review
CyberwizardPit posted a review on the SteelPad QcK Heavy Mouse Surface

Gaming equipment manufacturer SteelSeries are at it again, jumping from strength to strength with their new releases. The SteelPad QcK+ was definitely one of their best mousepads released to date, and SteelSeries had come up with a different variant of the mousepad, dubbed the SteelPad QcK Heavy. Boasting a thicker surface and larger area, is the SteelPad QcK Heavy just another QcK+ clone, or a separate mousepad on its own - and how does it live up against its predecessor? Find out more in today's review by CyberwizardPit.Net.

Sans Digital MS2C1 Drive Enclosure Review
PC Mech posted a review on the Sans Digital MS2C1 Drive Enclosure

External hard drive enclosures are quite handy to have these days. You can use them for backups, you can use them for transferring files, or you can even use them for general storage bins for some of your data (especially if you're in to multimedia). The Sans Digital MobileSTOR Series MS2C1 drive enclosure is one such tool that is designed to house two drives in one small tidy unit, supporting both RAID striping and single/separate drive configurations (JBOD: Just a Bunch Of Drives). The MS2C1 was provided to us by Sans Digital for this thorough review, and currently retails for about $210 on Newegg.com.

Zalman ZM460-APS SLI Capable Review
BCC Hardware checked out the Zalman ZM460-APS SLI Capable PSU

We have taken a look at the latest PSU from Zalman, and even though it's rated at a "mere" 460W, don't let that fool you. This PSU is SLI & Crossfire Capable and comes with a pair of enough leads to keep most people happy. Throw in dual 12v rails, extra SATA connectors, Fan connectors, and some cable management velco and you've got yourself a PSU that is ready to go. We put this unit is a system that a 431W Enermax couldn't keep stable. See how the ZM460-APS handles the task.

Kingston HyperX KHX6400D2LLK2/2G DDR2 Review
PC Modding Malaysia posted a review on Kingston HyperX KHX6400D2LLK2/2G DDR2 memory

Overall, the HyperX PC2-6400D2LLK2 2GB kit is a decent DDR2-800 kit. It is surely a performance DDR2 module which operates at 400MHz with 4-4-4-12 latencies. As far as overclocking goes, we have seen better kits. Maxing out at 500MHz, we believe this is the highest we have achieved on any HyperX DDR2 kit tested to date. Although we had to loosen to CL5, the higher memory frequency makes up for the higher latencies. When testing at rated speed and voltage, our system was not stable. We later found out that the modules wanted 2.1V instead of the rated 2.0V. Considering that most DDR2 motherboards support up to 2.3V, this may not be a big issue but we expected the modules to run flawlessly at 2.0V. If you plan to get a decent 2GB DDR2-800 kit for your rig, remember that Kingston has a HyperX kit that does 400MHz at CL4.

Patriot PDC2G PC-4000 ELK 2GB Dual Channel Kit Review
Viper Lair look at some performance memory from Patriot which will interest those who haven't made the jump to DDR2.

Flaws are few, and they revolve around documentation. No information on the Vmem anywhere in literature, therefore we do not know what the voltage ratings are, where can we push this and how far while still being under warranty? That said, there is some great overclocking ability ( 250MHz @ 2.5-4-4-7), and looks very nice with the heatspreaders. Patriot once again is knocking on the "big boy's" doors, by building 2GB Kits that are cost effective and overclock well.

Akasa Zen - Budget case king?
XtremeComputing looked at the Akasa Zen cooler

Well what can I say, the Akasa Zen is probably one of the best "budget" cases I have used, and I use that term loosely as in my eye's it's a budget case in price only retailing at approx 40 ish. It has a lot of features you wouldn't expect on a case in this price range, folded edges so no cuts were experienced, a built in stealth panel for the optical drive, a built in cpu vent and very solid construction, some budget cases feel like they are made out of tin foil, not the Akasa Zen.
