Icy Box IB-MP303S-B Media Player Review
Bit-Tech published a review of the Icy Box IB-MP303S-B Media Player

We have to respect the Icy Box IB-MP303S-B for doing exactly what it says on the tin, but it's certainly nothing special. The lack of extra cables for decent video quality and a network port really means it loses out to other solutions. Simply put, there are too many other, more viable alternatives on the market for the cost of a decent hard drive and the Icy Box. It's a nice idea that will suit a few people, but the MP303S is not something that demands considerable attention from many.

Logitech G51 Review - Surround Sound for Gamers
Hardcoreware published their review of Logitech's G51 Surround Sound
Speakers.

According to Logitech, the G51 system was developed from the ground up to be suitable for gamers. In our experience, it definitely shows! There are plenty of gamer-specific features, such as the ability to give your speakers a custom look with skins, as well as others. In fact, the sound itself seems to be geared towards gaming. Unfortunately, that means it falls a bit short in music and movies.

Sapphire Radeon HD 3650 512MB Review
HotHardware.com evaluate the features and performance of Sapphire's Radeon HD 3650 512MB graphics card.

The Sapphire Radeon HD 3650 512MB differs from ATI's reference design in that it has double the frame buffer memory (512MB vs. 256MB) and a much higher GPU clock speed (800MHz vs. 725MHz). The Sapphire Radeon HD 3650 512MB also has a fairly good accessory bundle and its priced right too. Head on over to the site and check it out...

GIGABYTE GV-RX387512H HD3870 512MB Crossfire Review
Gamepyre posted a review on the GIGABYTE GV-RX387512H HD3870 512MB Crossfire

GIGABYTE has done a wonderful job with their new HD3870 card in many respects. One especially nice addition to the bundle was that of NeverWinter Nights 2, a recent RPG game. Many card manufacturers are forgoing the games bundle meaning that there are fewer costs involved in bringing the new video card to the market in packaging. I prefer a game to increase the value of the bundle.

ASUS Silent Knight II Heatsink Review
PC Stats posted ASUS Silent Knight II Heatsink Review

In this review Frostytech is evaluating the ASUS Silent Knight II heatsink. The Silent Knight II is a copper heatsink vaguely reminiscent of the Zalman CNPS9700NT. Like most thermal solutions being introduced, it's compatible with Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad/Extreme and AMD Athlon64 processors. A 92mm PWM fan is set within the body of the heatsink and spins at 800-2300RPM, generating no more than 46 dBA in Frostytech's real world measurements. A pair of blue LEDs illuminate the translucent impeller blades, giving the Silent Knight II a nice visual effect.

mStation 2.1 Stereo Orb Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the mStation 2.1 Stereo Orb.

The wireless IR remote control has 10 buttons to fully control speaker functions as well as basic iPod functions, so you can change tracks from the remote without having to actually touch the iPod. This of course only works with iPods plugged into the dock and will not work with other MP3 players that are connected via the line-in jack.

Ultra Microfly SX6 Review
Driver Heaven posted a review on the Ultra Microfly SX6

There is a niche audience who are constantly seeking the smallest, lightest chassis available. This specialist audience has directed companies towards designing cubic mATX cases which are considerably smaller and lighter than ATX cases.

Many of the first generation mATX cases were very restrictive and therefore not very popular, however cubic mATX cases have, like much in the world of technology, evolved considerably since then. Today we will take a look at one of the most interesting cubic mATX cases available, the Ultra MicroFly SX6. The MicroFly has an Ultra XVS 600W modular PSU installed from the factory and is able to house full length video cards and optical drives ... therefore on paper the MicroFly SX6 should be one of the best mATX cases an enthusiast can buy.

Spire Edge Laptop Sleeve Review
APH Networks has published a new review on the Spire Edge Laptop Sleeve

It's only been over a month since we've looked at the Spire Dart laptop bag/sleeve, and we definitely can't say we were disappointed! Carrying that around for more than just a couple of weeks now, we've recently obtained another Spire product. Like last time, it's another laptop sleeve. The Spire Edge is not a full featured sleeve though. Unlike the Dart, the Edge carries a level of simplicity in achieving the essentials only of products in its category. This means that it gives the user more or less a higher level of flexibility; the primary purpose of what we use a sleeve for is to allow any backpack or container of choice to accommodate your laptop while retaining a degree of protection. With that it mind, it doesn't mean you can't carry the sleeve by itself if you don't need any accessories such as an AC adapter. We won't put too many spoilers out this early in the review, but let's take a close look at the Spire Edge and see how it can accommodate laptop users wanting a sleeve for protection in that particular market segment.

CoolJag Falcon 92-Cu Heatsink Review
OCC has published a new review of the CoolJag Falcon 92-Cu Heatsink

I was very surprised to see the Falcon 92-Cu come out ahead of the Ultra 120 Extreme by a few degrees in both the stock and overclocked testing, despite the latter having a larger fan. The Falcon 92-Cu was not as efficient at cooling the processor during the Idle testing,
however it came back and cooled the chip when it was needed the most; during full load. I really like how this heatsink is very versatile by having the ability to be used on different socket types and has all the included hardware needed to do this.

Zalman Reserator XT Hybrid Liquid Cooling System Review
Techgage posted a review of Zalman's latest Reserator water cooling system.

Given their nature, external water-coolers have a lot of room to do things right. Zalman took full advantage of the space they had with the XT and delivered a superb external solution with excellent performance. Though slightly expensive, you get what you pay for rings true here.

Thermaltake M9 Mid-Tower Case Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Thermaltake M9 Mid-Tower Case

Most enthusiasts that have been building for at least a few years most likely have used something with the Thermaltake logo on it. Thermaltake has a wide variety of products: cases; fans; CPU, GPU, hard drive, and chipset coolers; liquid cooling; power supplies; storage solutions; and various other stuff. Today I will be looking at the Thermaltake M9, a mid-tower that appears to take some of its inspiration from the Xaser VI. Will it meet my expectations of a Thermaltake case? Stay tuned to find out.

MemoRight GT MR25.2-064S 2.5-Inch 64GB SATA SSD Review
Benchmark Reviews has released a new article on the MemoRight GT MR25.2-064S 2.5-Inch 64GB SATA SSD

For a little over a year now Benchmark Reviews has anxiously awaited the fabled Solid State Drive that could replace our current list of preferred Hard Disk Drives. Making this wait seem even longer was the fact that HDD manufacturers were constantly improving there product and adding new enhancements to the technology. First there was perpendicular storage, then came fluid bearings, and finally there was the increase in cache buffer DRAM. Performance has always been the hurdle that SSD's have had a tough time clearing, with read and write bandwidth creating the largest obstacles. Response time and reduced power consumption has been the key arguement for owning an SSD, but without the bandwidth throughput to measure up against HDD's they became an expensive niche item. That time has passed. After a long wait, Benchmark Reviews has discovered the MemoRight GT MR25.2-064S 2.5-Inch 64GB SATA SSD Solid State.

HTC S730 Smartphone Review
PDA Guide posted HTC S730 Smartphone Review

With the S710, HTC arguably developed one of the most user-friendly smartphones of recent times. This was down to the innovative design that incorporated the looks and simplicity of a straight-forward bar phone on the surface and the increased usability of a QWERTY keypad underneath.

Western Digital Scorpio 2.5" 320GB HDD Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Western Digital Scorpio 2.5" 320GB HDD

While SSD or Solid State Disks are making their way in, we are still working with the current generation of storage and Western Digital has managed to do very well at increasing sizes and speeds.

The underside of the drive is extremely clean of high rise circuits and components, simply because they have been sandwiched between the top of the PCB and the lower casing of the drive. With this design you don’t have to worry about any short circuits or clearance issues.
