Antec Mini P180 Review
Bjorn3D posted a review on the Antec Mini P180

design and construction, and today's examples are a nice departure from the vanilla rattle boxes of days gone by. Increased cooling capabilities, quieter operation, and style are just a few of the advances - and with these often come increased size and weight. Recognizing that many PC enthusiasts actually like to be able to move their systems, Antec has come up with a smaller, more portable case with this in mind. Enter the Mini P180 Advanced Super Mini Tower - the newest member of the Antec Performance One series of cases.

Altec Lansing PT 7031 Review
InsideHW.com has posted an article about Altec Lansing PT 7031.

This time we have tested a really special sound system or it is better to say loudspeaker. This particular Altec Lansing model includes three flat NXT speakers, which are pretty much rare on the market. If you want to understand how special they are, you must forget everything you know about regular speakers. They are different in many ways: different looks, size, manufacturing, sound reproduce .

ATI FireGL V8600 1GB Workstation Graphics Card Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the ATI FireGL V8600 1GB Workstation Graphics Card

As many of you know, ATI has been particularly aggressive with their FireGL workstation graphics card lineup over the past six months. While their flagship R600-architecture was the basis for the solid (but ultimately underwhelming) Radeon HD2900XT for the gaming market, our tests have shown that this particular GPU architecture is much more competitive in the workstation market. While the R600 may not be the best choice for a high-end gaming rig, it is indeed a powerful chip for high-end OpenGL work, and as such, has led to a revival of sorts for ATI's FireGL lineup.

With an excellent performing workstation GPU in tow, ATI finally took the steps to get their latest generation of FireGL cards out to the market fast - much faster than we've seen from them in the past. ATI now has a number of R600-based workstation products out on the market, and is competing quite well with NVIDIA in terms of both price and performance. ATI's cards generally offer nearly all the bang for the buck as the QuadroFX lineup, but ATI has some unique models as well which give them their own following of users. One of their newest models, the FireGL V8600 1GB, has finally hit the market. And this is the card we'll be looking at today...

Otterbox 7030 Laptop Case Accessory Kit Review
DragonSteelMods.com posted a review on the Otterbox 7030 Laptop Case Accessory Kit

I've got, in my opinion, the best laptop case on the market today, at least for protection of my laptop. The Otterbox 7030 Laptop Case protects my laptop from dust, dirt, water, shocks and even from being crushed but there isn't really any space to carry anything else with you but your laptop in the case, there are no pockets or anything like that. Recently Otterbox released an accessory kit for their 7030 Laptop Case, which allows you to now carry pens, pencils, business cards and documents easily inside your Otterbox 7030 laptop case.

Mapower MAP-KC31 eSATA USB 2.0 HDD Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the Mapower MAP-KC31 eSATA USB 2.0 HDD

The Mapower KC31CSJ HDD enclosure has almost everything a user could ask for. The sturdy build quality is complimented by a sleek aluminum finish while remaining lightweight. The performance is pleasing especially compared to more expensive enclosures out there. The passively cooled heat dissipation system ensures silent operation while working hard to get that heat away from your important data.

Avivo HD Vs Purevideo HD - Indepth Analysis
Driver Heaven posted an analysis of Avivo HD and Purevideo HD

Every time a new graphics card is released we hear great claims about how the new video enhancements will improve our viewing experience or that the hardware is as perfect as it can get in the High Definition HQV Benchmark. Unfortunately, for many reasons most end users have to pretty much accept these claims as it is not really possible for the average consumer to set up two identical systems, side by side and see what the differences are.

Well we have with the aid of some specialist equipment and the results are fascinating, not only this but we have HD screen grabs and detailed analysis to show you which card delivers the best IQ........

Thermaltake BlacX HDD Docking Station Review
APH Networks has published a new review on the Thermaltake BlacX HDD Docking Station

SATA may be an interface that supports hot swap, but in reality, how often is it truly taken advantage of and used for the purpose of hot swapping? More than often, it's no more than just an array of disks residing inside our computers that ends up rarely moved. For an external interface, eSATA is nice and all for its performance, but to an extent that's really an extension of an internal storage medium to external hard drives -- hot swap is necessary as what's that made USB so popular, but it doesn't really solve the problem of having a need to go through a bunch of internal SATA hard drives quickly. For example, some users need it for testing hard drives, while others want to quickly pull some data off a drive without installing it in another computer. As far as I'm concerned, there's one product in the market that has gained immense popularity and tons of internet hype that allows you to quickly swap internal SATA hard drives without ripping anything apart to get the job done. And that's the Thermaltake BlacX, an HDD docking station. Let's see how it gets its job done, and to what extent it has done well.

Lian Li V2010 Case Review
3D Game Man posted a review on the Lian Li V2010 Case

The Lian Li V2010 Case is a prime example of what a full tower case should be. It has lots of room to work, removable motherboard tray, 7x5.25" drive bays, 8xHDD bays, multi-media ports (including eSATA), 3 fans (2x120mm & 140mm), aluminum caters, and so much more. This case is one of the very best because it has exactly the right ingredients. There are many full tower cases on the market but there are none like this! If you are looking for a high quality full tower case that has it all, don't look any further. Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the end.

Asus P5E-VM Review
Neoseeker reviewed the Asus P5E-VM motherboard.

With a video card, I was able to boot into the Windows desktop at 535MHz x6 - but it was not stable; I think giving even more voltage to the northbridge would stabilize it, but frankly, I was worried about frying the northbridge. But 500MHz x 8 is stable, with the memory running at 5-5-5-15, when I use a video card.

Zalman TRIMON 22" 3D Monitor Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Zalman TRIMON 22" 3D Monitor

The existence of the 3D concept has been around since people could express themselves artistically; for example, through painting or sculptures. When the first such expression began, I certainly could not tell you. However, I can tell you that 3D has evolved to the point where it is now commercially available for the average user for under $1000 USD. Admittedly that’s a lot more than most would want to pay for it, but it is a positive step in the right direction.

The TRIMON is the first commercial 3D monitor available to the public from Zalman, and it is not often one gets to be the first to review a finally finished product. We have been waiting for these ZM-M220W monitors to hit the shelves for a little over a year now, with the first introduction of them at CEBIT 2007.

Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-SH2 Review
OCC has published a new review of the Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-SH2

I went into this review with a mindset that this board is geared to being used in a workstation or Home Theater PC and at that, it does very well. In the science benchmarks, the Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-SH2 pulls off some impressive numbers compared to competing boards using the same chipset. The Gigabyte board has an array of features and capabilities that would make any system like this drool for more. I liked how Gigabyte included all three video ports for this board because if you are like me and lose adapters easily, you will not be left out from using them down the road. Another feature of note i absolutely loved is the number of USB headers available. For a media PC or workstation, that is a great move.

EVGA nForce 750i SLI FTW For The Win Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the EVGA nForce 750i SLI FTW For The Win

eVGA decided to make a new cheaper mainboard opposed to 780/790, designed it l33t and sexy.They named their new baby the eVGA nForce 750 FTW. Where FTW literally means "For The Win". Now if you send a product with "FTW" in the actual name then as a company you need to have some pretty big balls, as any reviewer will see if that product lives up-to the reputation.
