Thermaltake Mozart Sx Slim HTPC Case Review
Hardcoreware posted a review on the Thermaltake Mozart Sx Slim HTPC Case

Designing a full ATX HTPC case must be very complicated; it's not like you can simply take a tower case and flip it down to its side! An HTPC case must be slim, quiet, and aesthetic.

Making a low-profile case is even trickier. You have to deal with installing peripherals horizontally, and trying to squeeze in as many components as you can, including the power supply.

Thermaltake has taken a shot at designing an HTPC case that is just 90mm tall, yet supports a full ATX motherboard and power supply. Does it succeed where so many others have failed?

Gigabyte Poseidon Case Review
Motherboard.org posted a review on the Gigabyte Poseidon Case

Overall the case has good looks, and an ergonomic design that combined with its predisposed nature to use a liquid cooling kit, makes it ideal for the enthusiast's user who wants to use the best cooling available. There is enough room inside to accommodate a single slot VGA solution, but SLI or CrossFire solutions may prove to be a bit of a tight squeeze and may seriously reduce the amount of air flow needed to keep the system running within normal heat parameters.

EclipseOC finished testing another DDR2 kit

As the popularity of DDR2 hits it's peak, we look at another 2x1GB DDR2-800 kit, this time, from TeamGroup. The overclocking potential is just slightly more than impressive

Abit AB9-Pro 965 Motherboard Review
Viper Lair has posted a review on the Abit AB9-Pro 965 Motherboard

The Abit AB9-Pro is thus far the fastest Intel board I've tested, CPU and peripheral hardware being equal. Oveclocking went well, especially once we updated the BIOS. Whether overclocked or stock, the AB9-Pro was rock solid during testing. Out of the box, once everything was hooked up, the system ran like a champ. Those of you with extensive storage needs should be very happy with the nine SATA connections available.

XSPC Bay single bay Reservoir Review
XtremeComputing has posted a review on the XSPC Bay single bay Reservoir

Now maybe it is only a reservoir and not something to sing and dance about, but I have to say for me it is the best bay res on the market, for the first point it takes up only one bay instead of two and it can do this due to the dividers design layout. This is what makes it possible for the fluid to get right down to the lower levels indicated on the front without letting the output get air, even with its =BC threads. I was shocked when I had to drain the system for a mobo change and even with only a few mm of water left the output section was still full! I can't think of any other single bay res that employs a system like this that works so well.

Dell XPS M1210 12.1-inch Laptop Review
ThinkComputers.org has posted a review on the Dell XPS M1210 12.1-inch Laptop

I have been looking for a new laptop for a while. My previous laptop the Dell 700m was great and I had no problems with it at all. I wanted an upgrade, something that was small like the 700m, but also powerful and able to play games. After looking around I found a few laptops I was interested in, but I cut the list down to 2 laptops, the Dell XPS M1210 and the ASUS A8J. The deciding factor was that I was actually able to go look at the Dell and check it out. Also my previous Dell had no problems so I opted for the Dell.

Zalman CNPS9700 LED Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler Review
Tweaknews.net has posted a review on the Zalman CNPS9700 LED Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler

Their new CNPS9700 LED cooler is the real deal. It's got performance, even easier installation and virtually universal compatibility. With outstanding fit and finish, a big aggressive presence and the blue LED fan, it also has great looks and would be an excellent upgrade for the stock cooler. The design could result in lower case temperatures as well, providing there's an exhaust fan in the vicinity. Overclockers can have some fun with this cooler, and in silent mode, the quiet computing crowd will be very happy as well.

iRiver T10 MP3 Player Review
TheTechLounge posted a review on the iRiver T10 MP3 Player

The iRiver T10 is a flash-based player with what iRiver bills as a 'sport ready' design. It's got a chromed metal 'sport clip' to keep it attached and the body of the player is sturdily built. These are both good qualities to have when you're waist deep in blackberry bushes trying to retrieve a wayward golf disc. Of course, sturdiness alone is not enough to compete in the portable media player market. Consumers demand features! And sound quality! And maple bars! Does the iRiver T10 have what it takes to succeed? Well it doesn't have maple bars, but tell me, which player does?

Port Ergostation Review
TrustedReviews have looked at the Port Ergostation

An external keyboard and mouse seems like an ideal solution for the RSI issues, but doesn't help with neck problems. Using an external monitor is not only an unnecessary expense, but a waste, as most notebooks these days ship with exceptionally good displays. One solution is to use a dock specific your notebook, but these can be incredibly expensive. But Port suggests we use its Ergostation, which is universal and will fit any notebook.

Kingston Technology DataTraveler Secure 4GB Review
TrustedReviews have looked at the Kingston Technology DataTraveler Secure 4GB

Kingston has been a major force in PC memory for as long as I can remember, and the chances are if you’ve been using PCs for a while, at least one of them will have had Kingston modules nestling inside. But when it comes to USB memory keys it’s a little harder for a company to differentiate itself, even one with a reputation as solid as Kingston’s. But in a world of generic USB keys, Kingston has managed to come up with something a bit different.

ATI Radeon X1650 XT CrossFire Review
HotHardware.com has posted a review on another mid-range product today, the Radeon X1650 XT

Today, ATI is adding yet another member to the Radeon X1K family of products, the Radeon X1650 XT. While its name suggests the X1650 XT is nothing more than a higher clocked variation on the barely 2-month old Radeon X1650 Pro, that's actually not the case. The Radeon X1650 Pro is based on a new GPU, formerly code-named RV560, that is much more powerful than anything else in the X16x0 family.
