Corsair Flash Padlock USB Flash Drive Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Corsair Flash Padlock USB Flash Drive

Corsair has done an excellent job with a design that is secure without the need for platform dependent software or complex and expensive biometric devices. While the Padlock is not the most fashionable design, this is clearly a product of function over form. Data transfer rates are ample enough for most users and the only real drawback is that the max capacity available is 2GB, which I expect Corsair to expand before long...

Lexar JumpDrive Secure II 4GB Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Lexar JumpDrive Secure II 4GB

USB drives are so prolific that they are now beginning to be given away free promotionally. There are literally thousands of different makes, models and capacities; all of which operate at different speeds. Of recent, the focus has been moving away from sheer storage to the speed at which you can fill the provided space, with people becoming ever more impatient.

With the 4GB barrier broken a long time ago, there have been more and more devices falling into this bracket of size. They are mostly the same and rarely have differentiating features, and most come with an encryption program to stop an opportunistic thief running off with your important documents.

Today I have the Lexar JD Secure II 4GB which has a nifty little feature that separates it from its other 4GB cousins.

Zaward Vivo Cooler Review
techPowerUp published a review on the Zaward Vivo Cooler

Next month Zaward will be releasing a new CPU heatsink called the Vivo. This new cooler is based on a 92mm fan and uses exposed heatpipes that contact the CPU heatspreader directly. Add to that the Dimple Technology Golf fan and a unique fan shroud, the Vivo's compact size really packs a punch.

Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2-800 2GB Memory Kit Review
TheTechLounge posted a review on the Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2-800 2GB Memory Kit

Good RAM wouldn't be good if it didn't have rows of flashing lights under its heatspreader. Wait, that makes no sense. RAM is good when it, and, therefore, your computer, blazes. It should be about lower latencies and higher bandwidth, not Blinken- and ground lights. But are the two mutually exclusive? If we apply rice theory, spinners and lights may be added to any vehicle (import or domestic--although it's pretty hard to be impressed by a pimped-out Taurus) and imply, but are not evidence of, high performance. OK, so hear me out--there's a place where that metaphor comes back to fit, fer rills. Real racecars don't have lights and junk. That's heavy. Can high-performance RAM have lights? Will the extra stuff and/or heat weigh down the memory just as surely as would a tail fin lovingly crafted from Bondo?

Project Danger Den Water Box Plus Case ( Part 4) Review
OCC has published part 4 of their Project Danger Den Water Box Plus Case review

There are many options when it comes to cooling your graphics card. You can use just a simple water block for exclusively the graphics processor and use glue or tape on air cooled heatsinks for the memory and power circuits, or you can use a full coverage style block like the one we have chosen. The DD-8800GTS. This block is a full coverage style block that cools not only the GPU, but the memory and power regulation circuits as well. Danger Den states that one should be able to gain a 30 percent overclock by using this particular block. That's a pretty impressive claim I must say. Let's dig a little deeper into this full coverage block to see what it has in store for us.

Bioshock Review
Bonafide Reviews.com posted their review on Bioshock

2k’s new FPS Bioshock has been hyped up the wazoo from both fans, magazines, news, and Jack Thompson alike. (Come on, you know that if Thompson is complaining about something it has to be good.) Many are even saying it’s the best thing since the sliced breads known as Counter-Strike and Halo.

Winchip DDR2 1200MHz PC2-9600 2GB RAM Kit Review
Benchmark Reviews takes a look at the Winchip DDR2 1200MHz PC2-9600 2GB RAM Kit

Ever since Intel released the 3 series chipset, DDR2 has had the wind taken from its sails so that DDR3 could make waves. This was meant with the best intentions, but as DDR3 was released to public it didn't take long for people to realize it was still too immature to compete against DDR2 in regards to performance. This put the weight of the world back on the shoulders of DDR2, which has just earned a repreive from execution. But now that manufacturers are tooling up for DDR3 production, there are only few names remaining on the shrinking list which are still releasing high-performance system memory for the DDR2 platform. Winchip still knows that DDR2 has performance potential left in it, and offers the 1200MHz PC2-9600 2GB DDR2 RAM Kit to Benchmark Reviews for testing.

PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad PSU Review
XtremeComputing published a review on the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad PSU

A lot has changed over the last couple of months with OCZ taking over PC Power & Cooling and them becoming part of the OCZ technology group. I think this was a smart move by OCZ as a lot of enthusiasts and hardware types already have praise for most Power supplies that come from PC Power & Cooling. Today we are looking at the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 quad a Power supply that promises to be a winner straight from the off. Based on and older model from them that was solid in its own right, this version of coarse has the upgraded Graphics connectors.

OCZ ProXstream 1000w Power Supply Review
Driver Heaven publish a review on the OCZ ProXstream 1000w Power Supply

Today we will examine one of the strongest power supply units available today, the OCZ ProXstream 1000W. The best consumer available power electronics technology is implemented inside, allowing it to significantly exceed the power specifications and efficiency of its predecessors. The 1kW rating is more than enough to power any hardware configuration right now, however the question we will be answering today is if the power can be properly controlled as well.
