Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24” IPS Monitor Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the new Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24” IPS Monitor

By offering a reasonably large, high quality 16:10 IPS panel at a price point which is infinitely more palatable than the U27 or U30 series, the U24s have always been considered a great value. The all new U2412M, hopes to continue this enviable tradition by offering exactly what first time professional consumers want, at a price which undercuts many other IPS-based offerings.

CoolerMaster Storm Sirius 5.1 Gaming Headset Review
OCC has published a review on the CoolerMaster Storm Sirius 5.1 Gaming Headset

While using a headset, depending on the type of headset of course, you can be projected right into the game. The CoolerMaster Storm Sirius 5.1 Gaming Headset does just that, puts you right into the game. Most games will support a 5.1 surround sound audio setup. I have used the Storm Sirius in multiple games such as Left4Dead, Left4Dead 2, and Battlefield Bad Company 2 and in all of the games I have seen an improvement in my gaming experience and abilities. I have found that during the gameplay across different titles I was able to hear things in the game such as people or things coming up to me much quicker than when I use a surround sound speaker system.

mStand Laptop Stand
TestFreaks posted a review on the mStand Laptop Stand

For today’s review we will be looking at the mStand from Rain Design. This laptop stand was created with the MacBook Pro aluminum design aesthetic in mind. Although it could be used with most any laptop it looks like it was born to be holding an aluminum style MacBook. The mStand is composed of a unibody piece of aluminum that matches up perfectly with the MacBook Pro/Air anodized finish.

MX-FX USB 3.0 32GB Flash Drive Review
PureOverclock has published a review of the MX-FX USB 3.0 32GB flash drive.

The Mach Xtreme Technology FX 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive sports a USB 3.0 interface to improve performance over the aging USB 2.0. This little drive packs 32GB of capacity onto a form factor that can fit onto your key ring. But what about performance? Around here, we think Performance is King, and we've heard people complain these large capacity flash drives are slow as molasses in a Canadian winter. Just how fast is USB 3.0? Well, we put the MX-FX USB 3.0 32GB flash drive to the test to find out.

Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Review
XSReviews has a new review of the Cooler Master Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler.

Cooler Master have been in the market since 1992 and have produced many CPU air coolers along with lots of other computer related products. The heatpipe tower design has been proven to provide a cost effective and high performing style of air cooler and that's what I'm going to be looking at today.

The cooler I'm going to be putting through its paces is the smaller version of my last CM cooler review, the Hyper TX3 EVO. Positioned towards the budget segment of the market, we'll see what kind of value for money the cooler offers and how it performs on an overclocked 6 core CPU.

The world is becoming increasingly wireless. Almost everyone has a smartphone now, which can be connected to a wireless network just like any number of mobile devices, tablets, netbooks, and laptops.

NZXT Tempest 410 Elite Mid Tower Case Review
TweakTown posted a review on the NZXT Tempest 410 Elite Mid Tower Case

Just to confuse you a little more at this point, NZXT offers a Tempest 410 (non Elite) as well. But separating both 410's apart is simply rubber grommets in the wire management holes and that the Elite offers a windowed side panel where the 410 does not. There is so much going on outside of these two chassis' around the outside that I actually had to break that section into two pages just to fit it all.

As the title and the last paragraph allude to, today we are looking at the Crafted Series Tempest 410 Elite mid tower chassis from NZXT. With all the new tricks going on around the chassis, there is a bit of a price hike from the last three contenders we have just seen. It isn't going to be as much as you would expect, though. With everything you are about to see from NZXT in the Tempest 410 Elite, keep in mind that this is still selling in the sub-$100 price segment. It seems many companies are bringing their beat to the table at this point in the game with this price point; it seems finally the manufacturers are listing to the average Joe shopper.
