Auzentech HDA X-Plosion 7.1 DTS Connect Sound Card Review
Bigbruin.com posted a review on the Auzentech HDA X-Plosion 7.1 DTS Connect Sound Card

I have been using onboard audio since an nVidia nForce 2 motherboard had issues with a Creative Labs Live! sound card some years ago. My biggest audio use has just been for playback of MP3 and games, but when I built my home theater system I thought of getting a dedicated sound card and just couldn't justify it as the sound was adequate. The Auzentech X-Plosion has changed that position, as I can clearly hear the difference between the onboard sound and the X-Plosion.

Sennheiser PMX 70 Review
DV Hardware have a short review of the Sennheiser PMX70 Sport earphones.

Right now, Sennheiser has got the PMX70 Sport headphones which are currently being sold for =A330. These are gym headphones which just fit anybody's head just right. Yes, it does not matter if you have a huge head or a small one. They just fit snugly on and around your neck's back without being uncomfortable at that. You would find the speakers to be snuggled just right in your ear..

NMediaPC Mute Power MP-400 Power Supply Review
MODTHEBOX.COM takes a look at the NMediaPC Mute Power MP-400 Power Supply

The inside of the MP-400 is neatly packaged. The lightly finned aluminum sinks are small and dont dominate the inside of the power supply. Wiring is equally un-intrusive, allowing the fan to push quiet air across the whole surface of the PCB with little to no impedance. A quick look at the 140mm fan tells us the manufacturer is Yateloon Electronics. This .7A fan is rated to push 47 CFM at less than 25 dBA.

Ultra Cable Sleeving Kit Review
Modders-Inc has a new review online on the Ultra Cable Sleeving Kit

Every modded computer has a Power Supply Unit, which means it is prone to have a rats nest of wires dangling inside it. Sleeving your PSU wires is not only aiding in the looks of your case mod innards. It also improves the airflow in the case. Today we are going to take a look at Ultras UV Sleeving kit.

Corsair Dominator TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF Review
HotHardware.com posted a new article where they evaluate the features and performance of Corsair's brand-new Dominator TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF memory kit.

We have to give credit where credit is due, and praise Corsair for delivering and innovative, high-performance product in the Dominator TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF memory kit. The RD put in to develop DHX and the tweaked PCB seems to have paid off, as the Dominator TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF memory kit is the fastest currently available. At almost $600 though, this is some expensive stuff. We suppose if money is no object, overclockers can't do much better than the Dominator TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF kit, but we know many of you are cringing at the idea of spending $600 for 2GB of memory, when slightly lower performing kits are available for half the price.

Sennheiser HD 201 Headphones Review
DV Hardware posted a review on the Sennheiser HD 201 headphones

I received the HD 201 a few days later and put it on. The Sennheiser HD 201 feels pretty comfortable for a headphone of this price class. The HD 201 has closed cans and I can wear them multiple hours without a problem. They feel pretty light on my head and I don't get the feeling that my head is trapped between two clamps.

Raidmax Smilodon Case Review
3D Game Man posted a review on the Raidmax Smilodon Case

Raidmax really did an excellent job designing this case. It's affordable, looks great, and has lots of features. One of the things that really stands out is the way the side panels open for easy access to the inside of the case. Both the left and right side panels swing down or can be removed. It has plenty of fans, drive bays, and even comes with a large window. A fantastic product for the cost conscious gamer! Watch the Video to find out more...

Evercool VC-RG Geforce 6800 7800 VGA Cooler Review
XtremeComputing put up an Evercool VC-RG Geforce 6800 7800 VGA Cooler review

There are some down sides such as the noise and the need for another Molex cable but I think for the price the VC-RG is worth every penny, something that I would have liked to see on the VC-RG are a fan speed controller and maybe some better styling as without the lighting the face looks very bland. Overall if you are looking for a cheap upgrade cooler for your graphics card then the VC-RG could be the cooler that you are looking for. But if you own a high end 7800GTX or such, then I would go for something with a bit more oomph, as the effects on a higher end card that you would see would only be cosmetic.
