Diamond Viper Radeon HD 3650 1GB Review
TechSpot posted a review on the Diamond Viper Radeon HD 3650 1GB video card

The Radeon HD 3650 looks to be an attractive product on paper, it is the latest member of the Radeon HD 3000 series, and can carry up to 1GB of memory on-board. The 3650 is also a Direct X 10.1 compliant card that supports the PCI Express 2.0 bus. Furthermore, like all Radeon HD 3000 series products, this new low-end graphics card is built using a 55nm design process. Topped off with a 725MHz core speed, the Radeon HD 3650 sounds like quite a gutsy little graphics card.

But of course the card had to fell short in other places, otherwise we wouldn't be calling it a budget product. For example, it is limited to a 128-bit wide memory bus, and when combined with rather sluggish GDDR2 memory, the Radeon HD 3650 produces a memory bandwidth of just 16GB/s. To put this figure into perspective, it is comparable to the Radeon X700 XT which was released back in 2004. This goes to remind us what is the Radeon HD 3650 is targeted to a certain less demanding crowd and that we shouldn't expect spectacular results on the gaming front.

SpaceNavigator for Notebooks Review
DragonSteelMods posted a review on the SpaceNavigator for Notebooks

With the proliferation of multi core processors, many home computers are capable of running powerful 3D programs such as Google Earth, NASA World Wind, Blender, Maya, Google SketchUp and others. Using a regular mouse with these programs requires additional inputs either with the keyboard or interfacing with on screen commands. 3DConnexion, a Logitech subsidiary, have released a portable version of their SpaceNavigator mouse line. The SpaceNavigator for Notebooks weighs in at a little over =BD pound and is portable enough to be easily packed in a laptop bag. What makes this 3D mouse different from other mice, is that it allows you to work in the X,Y and Z planes, allowing simplified navigation in a 3D environment

Antec steps up to the plate to deliver a brand new case in the "Hundred" series. Betting on the success of the excellent Nine Hundred, Antec has released a lower end model dubbed, the Three Hundred. Known as the " Versatile Case," will the new case stand out from its bigger, badder brother? Probably not, but it is at a better price point that its sibling.

Cooler Master CSX Shag Wagon Aluminum Chassis Review
Bigbruin.com has posted a review on the Cooler Master CSX Shag Wagon Aluminum Chassis

The Stacker 830 and the Cosmos cases are both available in a variety of CSX custom paint jobs, many of which have similar themes involving popular macho subjects like flames, skulls, and monsters. When approached to review one of these cases, I had my heart set on something a bit different though, and was quite pleased when Cooler Master agreed to send over the red "Shag Wagon".

Vuzix iWear VR920 Review
Driver Heaven posted a review on the Vuzix iWear VR920

Virtual Reality! The phrase alone is enough to bring chills to even the most callused of gamers. Ever since the idea was first hatched in the 1950's and 60's and then later made popular in movies such as Tron, The Lawnmower Man and The Matrix it has been imagined by many to be the pinnacle of interactive entertainment. Certainly, today's gaming technology with its super high-resolution textures, ever-advancing pixel shading techniques and realistic physics make for one hell of a gaming experience but at the end of the day, it's still navigating through a pretty world a few feet from your face using your mouse and keyboard with a subwoofer thumping away on the tip of your feet. Wouldn't it be better to be inside that world even to the point where your actions, and the actions of your avatar, are at one with each other?

While we are still a few years from being plugged into a chair and given the ability to be taught virtually the ways of 17th century Shaolin monks, there are products out there which are attempting to bring the VR experience to the everyday gamer. Enter the Vuzix iWear VR920; a light weight, stereoscopic 3D head mounted display unit with integrated head-tracking, stereo headphones and microphone, and all for under $500.

Thermaltake Kandalf Case Review
TechwareLabs has published a review of the Thermaltake Kandalf Case.

With processors having such aggressive speeds these days, there is sure to be a build-up of heat. Heatsinks are increasing in size and using better material, but for the overclockers of the world, liquid cooling is still a necessity. Some cases are so small that a custom liquid cooling system could take up 50% of the case, leaving close to no room for components or cables. Someone shoud just come up with an extremely roomy case that has a built in liquid cooling system. Thermaltake says "We should." I introduce to you, the Kandalf LCS.

Sunbeamtech Core-Contact Freezer Cooler Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Sunbeamtech Core-Contact Freezer Cooler

Today we are looking at a product from Sunbeamtech, the parent company of Tuniq, maker of the popular Tuniq CPU coolers. Our sample today is called the Core-Contact Freezer and I think everyone reading this is going to look at the biggest feature of the CCF and wonder why they didn’t think of it first. I know I did.

The Core-Contact Freezer features four 8mm heatpipes that contact the CPU’s Integrated Heat Surface (IHS) directly. This was accomplished by flattening the round pipe at the contact area with the CPU. The result is eliminating the copper plate between the CPU and heatpipes and in theory removing an extra surface for heat to travel through at a key area.

The Sigma La Vie provides a fairly normal, if unremarkable experience. In general, this mid-tower is a run-of-the-mill product. While it won't blow your socks off, it gets the job done with a decent list of features and a nice appearance. Coupled with the numerous drive bays and the side window, it'll provide a trusty case for most people.
