OCZ Agility Series SATA II 2.5" 60GB SSD Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the OCZ Agility Series SATA II 2.5" 60GB SSD

Today I'm looking at the new Agility Series of SSD Drives from OCZ Technology, specifically their 60gb capacity model. The Agility Series is the middle of the road product line, between the budget style and the high performance style, they're sold as a 'mainstream drive', or something for someone who wants good performance but yet wants a lower priced drive than other SSDs out there today. I've put the OCZ Agility Series SSD up against a few other drives including another SSD for testing and comparison, so read on to see how it performs

Noctua NF-S12B Fan Review
Hi Tech Legion posted Noctua NF-S12B Fan Review

Today's technological advances have covered the entire gambit from hardware to software, and the cooling components have seen the advancements, as well. Many fan companies now offer highly efficient fans that cool incredibly well, but offer very little in the way of noise contribution from the system. I currently have some of the quietest running fans in my one computer case and on the heatsink, that if it weren't for the case lighting, I would never know that they were on. These wonderful fans happen to come from a common name in computer cooling, Noctua. The Noctua NF-S12B 120mm fans are designed with noise control in mind. The Noctua NF-S12B fans can be run in three different fan speeds for performance versus noise, depending on your application. The included jumpers allow for fan speed selection to fine tune the performance, while keeping acoustical contributions in mind.

Sapphire HD 5870 Review
OCC has published a review on the Sapphire HD 5870

I didn't think ATI had it in them to step up the performance on a video card this much in one fell swoop. The disappointing small jumps in performance from the 3 series to the 4 series are laid to rest with the massive performance increase over the previous ATI king of the single GPU hill, the HD4890. When you look at the performance you can tell that the level of performance delivered by the GTX285 was just a jumping off point for the performance expectations. After running the first bench with the Sapphire HD5870, the first thought in my head when I saw the result was "Damn, ATI is back." The Sapphire HD5870 even compared favorable to the dual GPU giants the HD4870x2 and the GTX295 in more than a few of the benchmarks.
