Xigmatek Thors Hammer S126384 Exclusive Preview
TweakTown posted a preview on Xigmatek Thor’s Hammer S126384

Xigmatek managed to pull off the ultimate hat trick in 2008. The company made coolers that were cheaper, lighter, quieter and performed just as well as the very best CPU coolers manufactured in 2008. The key to Xigmatek’s success has to do with their HDT (Heatpipe Direct Touch) patent and what it does to seemingly ordinary coolers.

It is now 2009 and Xigmatek is ready to break into a new market. The company will still offer their amazing sub 40 Dollar USD coolers that perform with the best 80 Dollar products from other manufacturers, but they are now ready to bring their own ultra premium coolers to the market.

Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultima Water-Cooling Kit Review
Madshrimps posted a review on the Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultima Water-Cooling Kit

Swiftech's latest water cooling kit comes with a brand new high performance water block (Apogee GTZ), a revised compact reservoir, a dual 120mm radiator and silent water pump. We test its performance on three different overclocked systems, going from a Dual Core E8500 to a 4Ghz overclocked Core i7 920 CPU. How does it compare a high end HSF? Is it worth the extra cost? Find out in this review.

Shuttle's X27-D Atom dual-core barebones SFF Review
bit-tech published a review of Shuttle's X27-D Atom dual-core barebones SFF

Where previous SFFs have been a hard sell for Shuttle, the X27-D hits the mark very well with a fantastic looking case, a better set of features and a more flexible build than the rest of the nettop competition. The well built power unit makes the X27-D exceptionally efficient and it's super quiet too, although that depends entirely on what hard drive is used. It would be an all win situation, except for the fact the second Atom core doesn't add that much at all.

The Shuttle X27-D is a really great product in its own right, but we wouldn't buy it because it sits in an awkward medium: £30-50 is a notable extra jump over the EeeBox or (the non-D) Shuttle X27, yet the AMD Sempron build isn't that much more of an upsell again for //a lot more performance.
