Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 Motherboard Review
Ninjalane has posted their review of the 890FX-UD5 board from Gigabyte

It has been quite some time since we last reviewed an AMD enabled motherboard and much to our surprise not much has changed. Granted the processors have gotten more powerful and they overclock better however none of that can be realized if your motherboard cannot unlock all of that potential.

Corsair Force Series F120 120GB Solid State Drive Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Corsair Force Series F120 120GB Solid State Drive

We first got our hands on a SandForce-based drive when Corsair was nice enough to send us their F100 solid state drive. We were very excited and anxious to see the performance boost from the traditional Indilinx Barefoot drives we had been reviewing for the past year. Recently we have seen many extended capacity drives, meaning there is less over-provisioning in order for a larger capacity drive. Many people think that 20GB is not that much extra space, but when it comes down to it, it really is. Also prices have dropped quite considerably in the past few months. At the time we reviewed the F100 it retailed for around $400 and now you can get the F120 for around $300! Let’s take a look at this drive!

Sentey Arvina GS-6400R Computer Case Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Sentey Arvina GS-6400R Computer Case

A well designed case can be the difference between an easy, well-organized build or a nightmare build that haunts you everytime time you need to do work on your computer. The Sentey Arvina GS-6400R is a full ATX case that supports E-ATX motherboards. The Arvina comes with six fans, five 5.25" drive bays, five 3.5" drive bays, and quite a bit of flare in its look. With numbers like these, it sounds like Sentey could have a winner with its Arvina line, but do these numbers add up to a good experience or are you just paying for a lot of flashy lights? Benchmark Reviews will take a indepth look at this case to find out.

WarMouse Meta Review
OCC has published a review on the WarMouse Meta

Taking a look at the WarMouse Meta, you were able to see exactly what the mouse's intended uses were by just looking at the design of the mouse; it is intended to be used for a productive computer power user who uses multiple shortcuts and macros in not only games but in the applications that he/she uses on a daily basis. The WarMouse Meta mouse was able to live up to most all of my expectations as a fully customizable mouse that has 18 buttons on it with the exception of a few aspects.

Icy Dock MB882SP-1S-1B 2.5" SATA SDD/HDD to 3.5" Converter Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the Icy Dock MB882SP-1S-1B 2.5" SATA SDD/HDD to 3.5" Converter

The Icy Dock MB882SP-1S-1B's function is simple, it converts any standard 2.5" HDD or SSD into a 3.5" drive. The MB882SP-1S-1B was also designed to fit the 3.5" form factor and emulate an actual 3.5" drive including rear connector and mounting hole alignment. This means that the MB882SP-1S-1B can be placed inside a another enclosure or a network attached storage or any hot swap bays that accept a standard 3.5"HDD. This unique flexibility in application separates it from other enclosures in the market.

GeIL EVO TWO DDR3-1600 CL7 Review
PureOverclock has published a review of the GeIL EVO TWO 4GB DDR3-1600 CL7 memory modules

We're looking at a set of GeIL EVO TWO 4GB DDR3-1600 CL7 memory modules that may just be one of the best looking we've ever laid eyes on. Beefy, sleek, modern - the EVO TWOs look gorgeous. So, is beauty only skin deep, or in the case of these memory modules, metal deep? Or is there something more under the hood that will drive the performance to match the outward appearance?

NZXT Phantom Review
Neoseeker posted a review on the NZXT Phantom

The NZXT Phantom brings us a full tower case for enthusiasts, in white. It ditches the more common black color scheme, and we take a look on the inside to see if it has any more standout features in our latest case review.

Really, the Phantom is unique in its kind. Many people, including me, would have answered a "no-no" if asked about a white case. This new offering from NZXT is one exception, in my opinion. For those loyal to dark styles, it is also offered in black. The last possibility is red. Its shape is very stylized too, with many angles. Its base measures 22 x 62 cm. That is quite long, even for a full tower case. Its 54 cm height is not too tall for the form factor, however.
