Vizo Luxon Advanced ED Hard Drive Enclosure Review
Tech-Reviews.co.uk posted a review on the Vizo Luxon Advanced ED Hard Drive Enclosure

External hard drives are being used more frequently now because of
the new digital era and the fact people are now at last starting to backup data. Prices for external hard drives have also massively fallen, with prices ranging from as low as 50 for a 320GB model. However, if you have an old PC which you are not using, you may be able to use the hard disk from that, this will mean you will just need to buy an enclosure, costing out from as little as 20. If you haven't guessed already, we'll now be reviewing a hard drive enclosure from Vizo. Introducing the Vizo Luxon Advanced ED.

TweakTown posted a review on the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Series Notebook

The X300 notebook has an Intel Core Duo SL7100 (1.2GHz, 4MB L2, 800MHz FSB) CPU. The monitor is a 13.3” WXGA+ TFT (LED backlight). There is a 3x3 UltraConnect II which is a connectivity suite offering wireless LAN, UWB (UltraWide Band), Bluetooth and numerous wireless WAN choices including a system that utilizes native GPS functionality that is built into the X300.

The hard drive is unique in that it is a solid state drive (SSD) 64GB in size. What this means is that the hard drive is not a rotating disk in the traditional sense, but rather comprises of several chips with addressable memory arrayed in a specific format to prolong the usability of the SSD drive.

Hiper DVI-to-HDMI Cable Review
Phoronix has posted a review on the Hiper DVI-to-HDMI Cable

Back in 2005 we were introduced to Hiper Group, a company that started out in the United Kingdom with dedication towards delivering the best quality, design, technology, and price for every Hiper product. We had reviewed the Clavier Aluminum Keyboard and Type-R Modular PSU from Hiper, but since then they have turned to offering an impressive variety of power supplies, case fans, cases, and other computer peripherals. While a simple product, one of their newer creations is a DVI to HDMI cable. This cable is made of 24 gauge wire with EMI shielding and gold-plated connectors, but at an affordable price.

ZEROtherm Zen FZ120 CPU Cooler Review
Virtual-Hideout posted ZEROtherm Zen FZ120 CPU Cooler Review

As for the test results, the ZEROtherm Zen FZ120 CPU Cooler ranks right up there with a lot of the newer-released coolers currently out on the market however this cooler will only retail for $39.99. So even if you're on a budget, this cooler will still enable you to get a top tier cooler for a respectably low price. With ease of installation and a quiet operating fan, along with the same high quality and now lower cost, the Zen FZ120 will make an excellent addition to your hardware.

Coolink SWiF-192 Silent Fan Review
Tech-Reviews.co.uk completed a review of the Coolink SWiF-192 Fan

We've been playing around with computer silencing for a while now at Tech-Reviews and so far, we've had great success in silencing the hard drives. However, we still have some really noisy fans, so today we'll be replacing our cases front 92mm fan with a model which has been advertised as like a 'silent whisper'. This fan we'll be reviewing is the Coolink SWiF 921 - - the second 92mm fan in the SWif series following on from the SWif 920. This fan is suppose to run at as low as 7dB/A - - virtually inaudible. So, read on and find out if this Coolink fan really is 'whisper silent'.

Travagans Colors Portable Headphone Amp Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the Travagans Colors Portable Headphone Amp

Travagan's Colors is the name of a brand new portable headphone amplifier. It is much smaller than most normal portable amps and only costs $59. The design is quite outlandish since it resembles a dog bone. The question is of course how does this little thing stack up against some of the bigger portable headphone amps.

PC Perspective posted a review on the ECS A780GM-A AMD 780G Motherboard

ECS sent over our first AMD 780G motherboard that comes in a full ATX form factor that should appeal to many users at first glance. Can the ECS A780GM-A motherboard really appeal to users that want integrated graphics and those looking for a more enthusiast friendly AMD solution?

Dual-Core Versus Quad-Core
Digit-Life posted a comparison review between Dual-Core and Quad-Core

It's very interesting to compare quad-core and dual-core processors, as the cheapest Intel Core 2 Quad (Q6600) already costs about $200. This price border separates more expensive CPUs from popular products in the market. So, common users may be tempted to buy a real quad-core processor, even if it does not operate at a high clock rate. We only have to find out whether it's an objectively expedient decision.

Samsung T220 LCD Monitor Review
DreamWare Computer posted a review on the Samsung T220 LCD Monitor

In an attempt to break the ordinary and bring a splash of colour and design into a typically untouched area of computing, Samsung has recently released the T220 LCD monitor. This is a 22" widescreen LCD monitor with a startling 20000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, ultra-fast 2ms response time and most of all, looks unlike any other.

Hiper 880W Double Header Power Supply Review
JonnyGURU.com has a new article online on the Hiper 880W Double Header Power Supply

Recently, I took a look at the Hiper Type M 580W power supply, and gave it a less than stunning review. Well, it turns out that the 580W unit's bigger brothers, the Type R II and Type M 880W models, took exception to that; asking me to pick on someone my own size: namely, them.

MemoRight GT Series 32GB SSDs in RAID 0 Review
TweakTown posted a review on the MemoRight GT Series 32GB SSDs in RAID 0

Today we are going to take the new speed champion for a spin; MemoRight’s GT. We will run our standard speed tests then take a pair of identical drives and run them in RAID 0. To keep things simple we are going to test the drives on a commonly used Intel motherboard that features Intel’s built in RAID controller which many of you would most likely have in your system already.

The MemoRight GT is a 2.5-inch drive that is capable of either being used in a desktop or notebook. Adapters are available to convert the drive to suit a standard desktop 3.5-inch bay. As shown above, the GT is capable of pushing a full 120MB/s in both read and write speed; this makes it even faster than the MTRON PRO I tested last month!

Apack Zerotherm FZ120 Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted Apack Zerotherm FZ120 Heatsink Review

Apack's new Zerotherm ZF120 heatsink is a refined version of the
Zerotherm Nirvana 120, but this is no simple fan switch out - the ZF120 is rebuilt from the heatpipes up. The result is an Intel & AMD compatible heatsink which offers substantially lower temperatures at its lowest and quietest fan speed, and a slight edge at full tilt that may bring it into the Top 10 heatsink list.

Aeneon XTune DDR3 1600 2 x 1GB Review
OCC has published a new review on the Aeneon XTune DDR3 1600 2 x 1GB

The Aeneon XTune DDR3 1600 2 x 1GB kit of desktop memory is not only a great looking kit of memory that you can proudly display in your rig, but the sticks are also able to perform very well. This kit of 2x1GB memory is able to operate at 1600MHz with only 1.5 volts being pushed through it. This is one of the advantages of DDR3 memory over DDR2 memory; the kits are able to perform at higher speeds with lower volts without sacrificing the timings that need to be set. The timings of this kit were, at stock, not very low to begin with, but not quite as high as I have seen in the past. When you begin to overclock the memory, you do need to loosen the timings beyond what I would like to set them at, though it does pay off with the higher clock speeds. The voltages that this kit of memory took, 1.5 volts, will help in reducing the overall temperatures inside of your case as the memory sticks are not heating up quite as warm as others.

Tweaknews.net posted a review on the Cyber Snipa Sonar 5.1 USB Surround Headset

All in all, not a bad showing from Cyber Snipa, the Sonar 5.1s offer a reasonably priced solution with astounding bass and good surround sound. The headset is comfortable and has as many adjustments as you could possibly ask for, both physically for comfort and via software for the sound.
