Corsair Graphite 600T Mid-Tower Case Review
KitGuru posted a review on the Corsair Graphite 600T Mid-Tower Case

Corsair have been building on their success in the memory business, expanding into many other areas of tech in the past few years. But they haven’t done so in a half-hearted way – each new product they have launched has been class leading like their H70 watercooler which we reviewed recently.

Today we’re going to look at Corsair’s latest PC case, the Graphite 600T, which fits in at the bottom of their range beneath the popular Obsidian series. But being at the bottom of the range doesn’t mean this is a low-end case; it is a feature packed mid tower case, aimed at enthusiasts who don’t have an unlimited budget.

Hardwareoverclock.com posted a review on the Arctic Cooling Accelero L2 Pro VGA cooler

Hardwareoverclock.com has posted another review. Last week they has taken a look at the Arctic Cooling Accelero L2 Pro VGA cooler, combined with a Geforce GTX 460 in reference layout.

Currently you can find very cheap Geforce GTX 460 graphics cards. Now they cost less than 140,- in Europe. Only the installed cooler is not always the best choice. But maybe the Arctic Cooling Accelero L2 Pro would be a suitable alternative.

Zalman ZM-SF3 120mm Case Fan Review
Hi Tech Legion posted Zalman ZM-SF3 120mm Case Fan Review

The Zalman ZM-SF3 is a 120mm case fan built from the ground up to cool quietly. The Zalman ZM-SF3 has a unique shark fin design to reduce the turbulence in the air flow for a smoother stream and quieter performance. A high-tech system called ELQ, EverLasting Quiet, is a system that allows the shaft of the fan to spin on a bearing, for a rated 150,000 hours of operation. Rubber padding and silicone pins handle any other possible source of noise that case fans generate in their normal operation. With such a focus on silent operation, it's hard to imagine a better creature to embody than a great white shark as it silently slips through the ocean to feed.

Xion Predator Gaming Series AXP 970 Review
OCC has published a review on the Xion Predator Gaming Series AXP 970

Though the case didn't perform as expected in testing it does have quite a few nice features which does makes up pretty well for it. On the up and up unlike a lot of cases on the market the AXP-970 is painted black inside and out. Also unlike many others this case supports two fans on the top panel which can be either 120mm or 140mm or even a radiator with those same size fans. This case also offers great expandability in that with the fans you can add those two to the top and even add another two 120mm fans to the side or just a single 200mm fan.

Alienware TactX Laser Gaming Mouse Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the Alienware TactX Laser Gaming Mouse.

Back in 2009, Alienware came out with their first series of gaming accessories which continued their tradition of premium priced items but these had high flying performance to back up their cost. Their "TactX" family has seen new members added and in many cases the mice, keyboards and other gaming items under the brand have seen their prices slashed by sometimes dramatic amounts. So, we figured it was high time to take Alienware's TactX out for a spin.

Arctic M571 Gaming Mouse Review
Top Review Shop posted a review on the Arctic M571 Gaming Mouse

The Arctic Cooling M571 is a slightly larger, and slightly more expensive, version of the M551 mouse we were mostly impressed with when we recently reviewed it. The M571 only commands a $5 price premium over the M551, so it will be interesting to see what features it has to offer at such a low price point of $25 USD.

Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 Rev. 2 VGA Cooler Review
BURNED iN posted Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 Rev. 2 VGA Cooler Review

The GPU is an amazing triumph of technology. Graphics cards allow us to perform tasks that would have been impossible before the 3D accelerator came of age. They can spit out lifelike, real-time rendered three-dimensional scenes millions of pixels in size hundreds of times every second. They can transcode video at a much higher framerate than what the video actually plays at. The mere fact that they are able to snappily render modern GUIs, with all their bloat, is fairly incredible. But the best thing of all may be that for all this computation, they consume huge amounts of power, spit out equally massive amounts of heat, and make enough noise to send your vacuum cleaner squealing back to its closet!

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi HD Review
Vortez.co.uk posted Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi HD Review

It'd be fair to say that Creative have been fairly quiet with regards to sound card releases over the past few years. The most recent sound card being the X-Fi Fatal1ty series, For audiophiles the X-Fi Extreme product-line has been a popular choice, so in one sense you can understand why Creative haven't needed to be concerned - this range has been very successful.

In September Creative announced the release of a brand new series of sound card coming under the HD classification, because Creative have been fairly dormant in this division this makes for very interesting news. It's good to see them launching new audio products onto the market, and in particular sound cards. So today, I will be taking a look at the X-Fi HD. There are two versions of this sound card, one is installed onto the motherboard and the other resides on your desk being USB. I will be reviewing the latter.
