Patriot Memory NAS GearBox Mini Adapter Video Review
TweakTown posted a video review on the Patriot Memory NAS GearBox Mini Adapter

What happened, though, when the folks over at Patriot Memory asked if we wanted to do a review of their new NAS GearBox? We knew from the pictures in the press release we weren’t expecting a full-on NAS of the normal variety costing well into the four figures, no… we were expecting a tiny little NAS device that could easily sit in the palm of our hands, weigh under one hundred grams and cost around $50 USD.

Patriot Memory’s NAS GearBox is a tiny little NAS gadget with 10/100 Ethernet LAN support and it comes with two powered USB 2.0 ports for easily adding and sharing media and files over your network. We were a little skeptical about this device, as we are now starting to see more and more routers come with a USB 2.0 port for simple adding of storage to your network. Some even come with some extra features such as built-in torrent downloaders, for instance.

Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme

Companies are now becoming wise to the fact that revising an existing product is often an all together better choice than starting from scratch to try and create something intrinsically different.

In this instance, Tuniq, a subsidiary of Sunbeamtech, have attempted to improve upon the Tower 120 design. Now christened the Tower 120 Extreme, this CPU cooler has been beefed up a little to make it more compatible with the newer Intel Nehalem architectures through a series of improvements designed to uprate the cooling capabilities. Let's take a better look at the product in question.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 Graphics Card Review
iXBT Labs has posted a review on the NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 Graphics Card

The test results indicate that GeForce GT 240 significantly outperforms cheaper RADEON HD 4670, but loses as much to more advanced RADEON HD 5750. In other words, it completely corresponds to its MSRP of $99.

All in all the Thermaltake Contac 29 CPU Cooler can hold its own and the proof is there. When a sub $40 cooler can keep a blistering 140w AMD Phenom II X4 965 overclocked to 3.6GHz with 1.4v under 60 degrees Celsius, you know you have value!.

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5750 1GB Video Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5750 1GB Video Card

For 1680 x 1050 users, this is a resolution that has become one of the most common wide screen resolutions due to the aggressive pricing associated with monitors that carry support for the resolution. The HD 5770 is a great choice if you've got the money. If you really want to crank up the detail you might even find yourself looking at a HD 5800 series card.

If you don't want to blow the bank, though, the HD 5750 does a good job at the resolution. Having already checked out a few models, we'll be seeing how the GIGABYTE version stands up. With a pretty nice looking fan we hope that it's able to put out impressive numbers in the cooling department along with some nice numbers at 1680 x 1050.

Noctua NH-D14 Review
OCC has published a review on the Noctua NH-D14

I went into the testing knowing that the performance of the NH-D14 was going to be good. I just did not realize how good. When I ran it through the testing, it was far and above superior to the comparison heatsinks. Of course, there is no reason for it not to be, simply based on the size and construction of the NH-D14. The surface area available to remove the heat is huge. It easily looks like the dual-fin arrays each encompass as much or more surface area than the previous top dog in Noctua's arsenal, the NH-U12P SE 1366. Add in an additional two heatpipes and you have a winning recipe.
