XSreviews has reviewed the Spire BlackFin Case

Spire has featured prominently on XSReviews for their range of power supplies that they provide, but today I have one of their new cases; the soft skinned BlackFin. Hopefully their skill at power supplies will rub off on their case design.

TrustedReviews looked at the T-Mobile Sidekick 3

The Sidekick 3, like its predecessor, is a sizeable beast at 130mm x 59mm x 22mm, and it isn’t light at 182g. It does though, manage to incorporate a screen and QWERTY keyboard both of which are larger than you’d usually find on a mobile.

The Sidekick 3 can be held like an ordinary phone when you are on a call, but for other non-voice phone purposes it is designed to be held length ways. When you extract it from your pocket or the protective pouch that comes with it, the Sidekick 3 looks rather like a handheld games console.

Techgage posted a review of the Enermax Glory hard drive enclosure, which doubles as a one touch backup solution

Enermax has provided a "one-touch-backup" solution in their external hard drive enclosure, the Glory. However as we quickly found out, the key backup features are not as glorious as the rest of the product.

ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Logitech Wireless Music System for iPod

So many people have an iPod. It is the most popular MP3 player out there. So say you have a ton of music on your iPod and you want to listen to it on your brand new home theatre system. Well you could go out and buy the iPod AV cables, but those are limited by the length of the wire and who wants to have wire stretching across their room. This is where the Logitech Wireless Music System comes in. It enables you to move around without the limitations of wires and listen to your iPod on your home theatre with ease.

Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the Team Xtreem Dark 2x1GB PC2-6400

I was a bit caught off guard with the Team Xtreem Dark but with an amazing looking heatspreader, lifetime warranty, impressive overclocking, and a price I can live with, how could I complain? As I have said, some of the D9 based 2GB kits I have tested were not able to match the impressive overclocking of the Team Xtreem Dark 2GB kit that I reviewed here today.

3D Game Man posted a review on the NZXT Adamas Aluminum Case

The NZXT Adamas Aluminum Case has quality written all over it. It's great to see another exceptional aluminum case on market, because there are very few to choose from. With a 3mm thick aluminum frame and a 2mm aluminum interior, it can support well over 300lbs. Now that's what I call a sturdy case! This product also has plenty of drive bays, excellent air circulation and looks great. It even has a brilliant front bezel release system and side panels that are a dream to remove. Overall, this is an outstanding product. Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the end.

Ninjalane has posted their review of the Vitesta 800Mhz DDR2 memory modules from A-DATA.

In this review we will be looking at a pair of Vitesta 800 DDR2 memory modules. These modules are part of the A-DATA Extreme Edition line and bear the Vitesta name as a result. These are 800Mhz modules and feature a CAS 5 speed rating. A-DATA has since revamped their Vitesta memory line to feature higher speed and lower latency modules

OSWeekly.com posted an Ubuntu Christmas Edition and Linux Mint Review

With each passing month, I have watched Linux distributions avoid anything propitiatory like it was the plague. The reasons behind these actions, while admirable, have been counterproductive as commercial ready distributions, such as Xandros, SuSE and Linspire, have been more than delighted to include propitiatory drivers in the past. And to be honest, it has not been well received by those who oppose this position.

OSWeekly.com is questioning Spyware: Is Any OS Really Safe?

Some will argue that Vista is now offering a safe Windows option, and that OS X and Linux were never targets to begin with. This is true enough to a point, but spyware is a big business, and I’m quite sure that it’s a business that has every intention of sticking around for as long as possible.

Beyond3D posted part 2 of their interview with Emergent Technologies

We wanted to ask questions that were directly relevant to the specific technology involved which is why we investigated Gamebryo's feature-set, and then we focused on what we weren't quite sure about afterwards because of a lack of detail, or just because we didn't even understand it at all. Et voila, here's the resulting interview.

Elite Bastards published a Windows Vista Ultimate Edition - Hands-on review

It seems like the names 'Longhorn' and 'Vista' have been floating around longer than I care to remember, so long has the gestation period for Microsoft's latest Operating System been. As talk turned towards this product as work on it began after the release of Windows XP, back when Vista was known simply by its 'Longhorn' codename, much was made of not only its new user interface, but also the WinFS filing system planned by Microsoft as a centrepiece of the OS experience.

WinFS was cut from the Vista roadmap some time ago, yet still the delays have mounted, although thankfully the likes of the new Aero user interface and DirectX 10 have managed to remain intact right to the bitter end of development. Now, finally, tomorrow sees Windows Vista in its various forms released to the public, and thus we take this opportunity to tour Microsoft's latest money spinner, with a focus on picking out any major new functionality and big potential improvements over Windows XP. Is it worth your money, and more importantly is it worth your money now? That's the question we aim to answer today before you go rushing out to the shops, credit card in hand.

BIOS Magazine posted a review on Acronis True Image 10 Home

There are a number of applications available that allow you to backup your files for free, such as NTBackup or Xcopy, but products like True Image 10 are crammed with features, look pretty, and make creating backups easier than ever. What's more, with Vista and x64 support, along with its Linux bootable and BartPE recovery components, it can save the day in most situations. A few of the added features are a little less useful than others, of course, but overall Acronis True Image 10 Home is excellent value for money and comes highly recommended.
