Sabayon Linux 3.2 Review
Techgage posted a review on the latest Sabayon Linux release

We took a look at Sabayon 3.0 a few months ago and were greatly impressed. The developers haven't taken a break since that time, and now 3.2 is upon us. We are diving in heads first to see what's new and what's been updated.

MS Office 2007 Editorial
bit-tech.net has posted an editorial on MS Office 2007

The new version of MS Office brings a lot of different problems to the table, and columnist Brett Thomas thinks it might be a little too different for many users. Is Microsoft expecting too much, too soon from users comfortable with Office? Will workers learn to Tango with the new interface?

nPowertek NPH 775-1 Socket 775 Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted a nPowertek NPH 775-1 Socket 775 Heatsink review

nPowertek NPH 775-1 Socket 775 heatsink looks deceptively simple at first glance; but at the heart of this Intel cooler is a huge copper cylinder. The large copper column is not technically a heatpipe as we know it, it's what TTIC call a "heat column." This column, 25mm in diameter and made from a hollow copper cylinder which is vacuum sealed, has a chemical coating on the inside that works to the same effect as a wick in a traditional heatpipe. The heat column used here is essentially an empty cylinder of copper which has been internally coated with a thin "superconducting heat transfer medium." The copper cylinder is sealed off at both ends, and inside is under a vacuum of approximately 1 Torr. The 18x80x80mm looks a little timid for the open framed nPowertek's NPH 775-1 heatsink, but it seems to get the job done without much fuss.

Gigabyte 3D Aurora 570 Aluminum Chassis Review
PC Stats posted a review on the Gigabyte 3D Aurora 570 Aluminum Chassis

Like its predecessor, the all aluminum Gigabyte 3D Aurora 570 case is compatible with watercooling systems right out of the box. It is designed for maximum system cooling while maintaining quiet operating parameters - so while there are no less than three large 120mm cooling fans in this case, they all run without really being noticeable. Best of all, it has two tubing pass through vents for watercooling systems. The 3D Aurora 570 case is constructed entirely out of 1.0mm thick aluminum, has a nice grilled side panel that can be swapped out with an included clear case window (how nice is that! It's even pre-drilled for quick installation), contains plenty of tooless expansion space.
