Overclockers Online posted a review on the Ultra X3 800W and 1000W PSUs

Over the years, we have come to expect nothing but excellence from Ultra, they have time and time again impressed us. Earlier, we discussed what differentiates a power supply from just being another unit sitting on the shelves and what makes a power supply a good buy, it isn't always just about performance, but features, aesthetics, and price. That being said, Ultra's X3 800W and 1000W are both excellent performing units, but so are many other power supplies. But, as we have seen, there is a lot more to the X3 family then just performance.

Bjorn3D posted a review on the Gigabyte 8500GT TurboForce (GV-NX85T256HP) video card

At a recent briefing for AMD’s latest entry and mid-range cards, the HD2400 and HD2600, I was told an interesting little tidbit that AMD had found out. It turns out that a lot of the customers buying their previous entry-level cards, the X1300, had bought it mainly for playing games. Even AMD was surprised that people would first spend as little as possible on the video card and then buy games each month for 50-100$ instead of buying a few less games and put the saved money on a faster card . It probably is not as strange as it sounds though. We have all seen all those “gaming computers” that are being sold with slow X1300, NVIDIA 7300LE cards or even (shudder) on-board video. How should Joe Average know what is a good gaming card or not?

Bit-Tech just published a review of the new Metaboli: Games on Demand service

In terms of interface, support and design however, Metaboli is superbly executed and well put together. The system offers detailed system requirements, which is a great advantage. The reader reviews are universally useless and Metaboli would do well to mimic Steam by showing a Metacritic score for the game instead, but the vast majority of titles will already be familiar to most players so it isn’t an immediate problem. It should also be pointed out that the forums were somewhat sparsely populated.

When you get right down to the core of it, Metaboli is an incredibly well designed system that comes the closest to rivalling Steam or Gametap to date. Whether it can continue to rise in the ranks and impress gamers remains to be seen as it’s still early days for it, but there’s no reason we can see why Metaboli won’t be the next ‘big thing’. Especially when a glance over the Term and Conditions reveals that it's possible to organise a ?1 trial period.

Hardwarecanucks posted a review of the Xion Supernova 600W modular power supply.

After the tests were concluded, the shiny new Xion Supernova looked a bit tarnished in our eyes due to its lackluster performance in many of the tests and its completely unintuitive modular interface. On the other hand, if you are going for looks alone, this power supply will probably be at the top of your list due to its flashy blue modular connector halos and LED-equipped fan.
