OCZ Vendetta Review
DV Hardware just published a review of the OCZ Vendetta HSF

In September OCZ Technology released two new processor coolers for the latest AMD and Intel processors: the Vanquisher and the Vendetta. Both are pretty compact and affordable coolers which should do a good job at keeping your processor cool. In this review I'm taking a closer look at the OCZ Vendetta HSF to see how good this heatsink cools. There's no reference on OCZ's website why they called this heatsink Vendetta but I think it could be an homage to "V for Vendetta", a pretty inspiring movie (and also a comic book series) about freedom which was released in 2006.

Titan EZ Sound Review
Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the Titan EZ Sound

I must say that I enjoyed the EZ Sound's performance. For a set of small portable speakers, I expected it to sound "like a tin can" but I was pleasantly surprised. The subwoofer is not the best but it does provide a certain depth to the bass that I don't get even from a set of regular 2.0 speakers. Aesthetically, Titan has done a great job with the design to make it sleek; also, the white color will make the EZ Sound match well with iPods.

SilenX iXtrema Pro 80mm and 120mm Fans Review
DragonSteelMods posted a review on the SilenX iXtrema Pro 80mm and 120mm Fans

Hey look we have a fans for review today... Yeah I know, it doesn't sound too exciting, after all they're just fans right? Well no, these really aren't your typical case fans, these products are from SilenX and claims to have the ultimate in airflow to noise ratio of any fans out there. The first thing you'll notice is the design differences, they look very different from any other fans out there, then when you plug them in you'll notice the absence of any real noise coming from them. I bet you're wondering how does one test a fan, well I figured the best way to test these fans would be to mount them on two CPU coolers that I reviewed recently, the Scythe Ninja Mini, and the Coolink Silentator and see how much of a difference, if any, there is between the silent Scythe and Coolink fans and the iXtrema Pro fans from SilenX...

Super Talent Vidego24T MP3/MP4 Player Review
HardwareLogic takes a look at the Super Talent Vidego24T MP3/MP4 Player

Super Talent's bread and butter has traditionally been a
mix of budget and overclocking friendly RAM, but they also showed us they know a thing or two about music players when we reviewed their Mega Screen MP3 Player last year. That was twelve months ago, and Super Talent now sports an MP3 lineup refreshed with bigger screens and snazzier feature-sets. The question is, have Super Talent's music players gotten better with age, or does the old adage '/one step forward and two steps back/' apply?
That's a good question, and we aim to find out!

Logitech Updated G15 Gaming Keyboard Review
I4U NEWS reviews the updated Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard.

Logitech managed to significantly reduce the size of the original G15 keyboard by shaving some of the macro capability from the G15. Most gamers will never miss the G keys that Logitech shaved to get the size savings the new G15 enjoys. The typing feel is good on the Logitech G15, and virtually identical to the original G15. The G15 doesn't have the best typing feel around on a gaming keyboard, but it is good and works well for daily general PC use in addition to gaming duty.

Acer AL2216W 22 Inch LCD Monitor Review
3D Game Man posted a review on the Acer AL2216W 22 Inch LCD Monitor

The Acer AL2216W is an awesome answer to the average user's desire for a larger monitor. I would not venture so far to say that this monitor would satisfy the enthusiast gamer and HTPC purists out there, but this 22 inch LCD monitor has all the basic functionality that anybody can enjoy. The 1650x1050 resolution gives you enough real estate to have multiple windows open with enough room to work in each. While the contrast ratio is limited at 700:1, I find that most every application looks great. Some games like Bioshock and Crysis are not as rich as you would expect but still look great. Another note on the contrast; while working with the color settings, I was never able to get the monitor to my personal 'just-right' setting. I felt a bit let down with this result but was expected with the 700:1 ratio. With the marketed 5ms response time, the monitor did act in this fashion as ghosting was never once evident.

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DQ6 Motherboard Review
Virtual-Hideout posted GIGABYTE GA-P35-DQ6 Motherboard Review

The board I will be reviewing from Gigabyte is the GA-P35-DQ6 featuring a P35/ICH9R chipset combination. This model supports the DDR-2 standard, dual PCIe graphics capability (only crossfire is supported on the Intel chipsets), solid caps all over the board, Quad bios solution, Eight Channel HD audio provided by the Realtek ALC889 codec and silent heatpipe cooling. All great features contributing to the very bling-bling nature of this board. Let's dig in and see if it stacks up.

PC Power & Cooling TURBO-COOL 1KW-SR PSU Review
Madshrimps posted PC Power & Cooling TURBO-COOL 1KW-SR PSU Review

In almost every PC Power & Cooling PSU review we see the same accolades, a few of which get stuck in my semantic craw. In fact I've already used a universal quantifier in the term above every. Although I modified every with almost we all know where universal quantification can lead; Other Possible Worlds. There are those who would consider our test subject, the TurboCool 1KW-SR out of this world, let's try to remain in this world...

Thermaltake LANBOX Lite Desktop Case Review
EXTREME Overclocking has just posted a review on the Thermaltake LANBOX Lite Desktop Case.

The demand for smaller PCs is ever growing and manufacturers must come up with innovative new solutions to meet these needs. Thermaltake’s LANBOX Lite does just that without the usual sacrifices in performance and cooling that other small cases make. The LANBOX Lite looks like something that could go next to a high definition TV in a living room.

PNY GEFORCE 8500GT 512MB PCIe Review
OCC has published a new review of the PNY GEFORCE 8500GT 512MB PCIe

It's hard to be objective when reviewing graphics cards or any computer part for that matter. Sure, the hardware that is tested is done so with objectivity in mind. Set parameters are used and are consistent, which provides objective real data; the numbers don't lie. But everyone has a particular brand they like and/or one they dislike. Some may like PNY, some may not. Personally, I don't like PNY products. I find its products are cheap looking and appeal to those who want cheap rather than quality. Of course, this is just my opinion and is subjective; to each his own. I wonder how the PNY 8800 Ultra Overclocked 768MB PCIe would rate against the competition? Until OCC reviews one, we won't know.
