Bios Magazine published a review on Window Washer v6.0

As you work on your computer and browse the Internet, you leave behind traces of your activity. This information not only takes up valuable disk space but also jeopardises your privacy. Webroot's Window Washer ($29.95) simply and safely wipes your tracks clean and removes unnecessary files for complete privacy and improved PC performance. It does this by eliminating useless files that clog your hard disk drive and slow down your PC, and by permanently washing away files and folders for ultimate privacy. You needn't worry about a heavy-handed approach either, Window Washer gives you complete control over where and what gets washed so you needn't worry about losing valuable documents.

Overclockers.co.uk have looked at the Creative Zen V Plus 8GB

In addition to its audio capabilities it can playback video, display photos, receive FM radio, record via a Line-in or internal microphone and even synchronise with your Outlook Contacts and Calendar information. If nothing else it makes for great press release material, but either way it’s difficult to deny that the Zen V Plus packs a lot into its sleek and compact casing.

Virtual-Hideout posted Antec MX-1 Actively Cooled HDD Enclosure Review

The Antec MX-1 is not your run-of-the-mill enclosure. Most enclosures are all metal and don't include a fan or even a stand. The MX-1 is extremely lightweight and quieter than most enclosures I have used in the past. The option of using either USB or eSATA is a nice touch and keeps the MX-1 flexible while on the go.

Driver Heaven posted a review on the Hiper Type M 670w Power Supply

High Performance Group, most commonly referred to as Hiper, is a newly found UK based company which has became well known for their high performance power supply units. Hiper acquired most of their fame for the Type-R series which was released a few years ago. The Type-R series were high performance modular units but a lot of attention was given on their aesthetics factor. Today we will take a look at another approach from Hiper, the Type-M series. The Type-M series are not modular and look quite simple, but they are considerably cheaper than the Type-R series and apparently perform just as well or even better. We will soon see if they are worth your time and money.

DragonSteelMods posted Star Wars R2-D2 1Gb Mimobot USB Flash Drive Review

I don't think this little guy needs much of an introduction, when someone says R2-D2, we all know exactly what that person means. Today for review I have a mimobot, what's a mimobot you say? Well it's a really cool USB Thumbdrive, or as mimoco calls them an 'Art Toy USB Flash Drive'. This thing is just plain cool, geeks everywhere should rejoice, mimoco combined two very geeky things, the USB Thumbdrive and Star Wars to produce a limited edition set of mimobots. The set, Series 1, includes Storm Troopers, Darth Vader, Chewbacca and of course R2-D2. So, read on my fellow geeks to check this little gadget out, I've got lots of pictures for you, and of course a bit of testing in this review...

TheTechLounge posted a review on the Logitech X-540 5.1 Speakers

With prices for speakers as low as they are, and with all the competition and variety, it's difficult to pick a good set of speakers... Especially if you aren't an audiophile. No matter what price bracket speakers are in, there's a certain degree of mystery as to how they'll perform. Sure, if you drop a fistful of C-notes, you're probably going to get good audio, but even then, the only way to know is to listen. Which is why we've got this 5.1 set from Logitech on our hands. Because our hands, have good, er, ears.

APH Networks posted a review on the Icy Box IB-266StUS-B 2.5" Hard Drive Enclosure

The saturation of hard drive enclosure is quite the opposite of the digital audio player market -- due to the generalization of these boxes, it's hard to set one above another. However, if you want to take close looks at each one, you will notice the differences -- and by these differences it will determine if the enclosure is up as your hard drive's new house. This includes aspects such as aesthetics, design (Physical build-wise), form factor, compatibility, performance, and price. At the 3.5" level, the Thermaltake Silver River DUO is already our favorite -- as it fits almost perfectly into every criteria. Today, we'll take a look at the Icy Box IB-266StUS-B. How well will this product step up in the 2.5" area? Let's give it a good look.

3D Game Man posted a review on the Mushkin PC2-6400 4GB Memory

Are you in the market for 4GBs of fast, stable, overclockable memory but you don't want to break the bank? Well, the Mushkin PC2-6400 (HP2-6400) 4GB Memory Kit is it! Being able to overclock this memory from its default speed of 800MHz to 1068MHz is incredible. Especially considering this overclock was using the fairly tight timing of 5-4-4-12. To be honest, this memory was a dream to overclock.

Viper Lair posted a review on the MSI P6N SLI Platinum Motherboard

From a performance, stability and overclocking stand point, some of it depends on the BIOS you use. At time of writing, the latest 1.22 BIOS is still beta, but if you want the most from the board, this is the BIOS revision to use if you are overclocking. Standard performance with the original BIOS is quite good, especially in the memory department. CPU performance does fall slightly behind the likes of the 975x chipset in synthetic tests, but most multimedia applications don't suffer noticeably as a consequence. Gaming performance is excellent.

I4U NEWS reviews the 24 inch NEC MultiSync LCD2470WNX LCD Display

Overall, the NEC 24" MultiSync LCD2470WNX is a very good LCD display that performs well in a variety of situations from movie watching to gaming and general computer use. The only thing I wished for that the NEC 24" MultiSync LCD2470WNX didn't have was a second DVI input.

OCC has published an update to their Intel Core2 Q6600 CPU Review

After looking over the benchmarks, it's hard to pick a clear cut winner; but in price vs performance you definitely have to look strongly at the E6600. With overclocking, these CPU's have the ability to reach 4ghz and that makes them much more appealing for the price. In the gaming benchmarks, you can see just how well the 5400X2, E6400, E6600 and E6700 do against the quad. Now if you have the need for major multi tasking, then the quad is probably a better option. We will be adding more CPU's to our benchmarking list as the weeks go by so keep checking back often to see how the rest stack up against the quad.
