Coolink Corator DS Heatsink Review
Ninjalane posted Coolink Corator DS Heatsink Review

A new method being pioneered by Coolink is a heatsink base that removes the gaps typical of core contact cooler designs. In doing so they can provide the benefits of a core contact design with a completely smooth surface between the CPU and the heatsink.

Auzentech X-Meridian 7.1 2G Exclusive Preview
The Guru of 3D posted a preview on the Auzentech X-Meridian 7.1 2G

We have an exclusive sneak preview of the Auzentech X-Meridian 7.1 2G soundcard. This card also marks a move back to the highly popular 8788 based chipset (at least for this model) that has been seen on some of the best sounding cards built to date.

This card has many of the original ideas that made the XM 7.1 so popular but also has some changes that will appeal to different user types. The card is also aimed at a lower price point with a MSRP of $159.99 which appeals to a larger audience.

Synology Diskstation DS210+ 2-Bay NAS Review
Tweaknews posted a review on the Synology Diskstation DS210+ 2-Bay NAS

I already knew that Synology made quality home NAS units, and now I can say they make good business grade NAS units as well. Fast performance is a must for a NAS in an office environment, and the DS210+ did not disappoint.

Accell UltraAV DisplayPort to DVI Multi-Monitor Adapter Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Accell UltraAV DisplayPort to DVI Multi-Monitor Adapter

I’m a multi-display guy and I have been for a long time. It is very hard for me to work with just one display. I really like to have my work on one screen and other things like instant messenger, iTunes, and Twitter on the other screen. This is pretty easy to do when you have a desktop system, but what about a laptop. Many people are moving away from desktops and going to a laptop as their main system. I would love to do the same, but I cannot work on a small laptop screen. Well Accell has just the thing for me the UltraAV DisplayPort to DVI Multi-Monitor adapter. This little device will allow you to enjoy multiple monitors from a single DisplayPort output, let’s take a look…

QNAP TS-459U-RP Turbo NAS Review
OCC has published a review on the QNAP TS-459U-RP Turbo NAS

The QNAP WebUI is very well presented and laid out, with great navigation, and a fully comprehensible interface that provides all the information and feedback you could possibly need to know. It is made easier still with many step-by-step wizards to guide you through the various aspects of setup and configuration. I would go as far to say that you could use the NAS without a manual if you were at least slightly familiar with network and disk configurations.

Cooler Master HAF X Full-Tower Enclosure Review
Futurelooks posted a review on the HAF X case

If you recall we recently did a preview of Cooler Master's new flagship HAF series case known as the HAF X.

ProlimaTech Super Mega Heatsink CPU Cooler Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the ProlimaTech Super Mega Heatsink CPU Cooler

ProlimaTech, the company behind the award-winning and record-setting heatsink, has released a successor to the overclocking throne: the ProlimaTech Super-Mega heatsink cooler for Intel CPUs. The Megahalems was ProlimaTech's first run at CPU-cooler's, and a very successful one at that. Having already earned the Benchmark Reviews Editor's Choice Award and countless accolades from other websites, ProlimaTech has built high expectations with their follow-up products. The Super Mega is ProlimaTech's plan to remain seated comfortably at the top. In this article, Benchmark Reviews examines the ProlimaTech Super Mega heatsink and compares performance results directly against the original Megahalems design.

OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 120GB Solid State Drive Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 120GB Solid State Drive

Having cut their teeth with the Apple crowd, OWC isn't a company that is well known to most PC users. However, with the Mercury Extreme Pro series of SandForce-based SSDs, they're trying to break into the enthusiast PC market in a big way. In this review we look at the 120GB version to see if it measures up to the competition.

Thermaltake Level 10 Review
Neoseeker posted a review on the Thermaltake Level 10

We've posted a review of the big, beefy, and pricey Thermaltake Level 10 case. It's already garnered many awards for its unique design, so we're keen on seeing how it all comes together. Hopefully you and your readers will be interested in our take as well. :-):

The Level 10 is a 53 pound aluminum chassis that combines a modular design along with a central pillar to create a case... that doesn't look like a case at all. In fact, it actually appears more a work of structural art rather than a means to house your computer hardware.
Still, even with the exceptional look of the case only a select few will be able to take it off the showroom floor. This is due to the extremely high retail price of the Level 10; at $799 it costs as much as the highest-end graphics cards on the market.

OCZ Fatal1ty 750w Power Supply Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the OCZ Fatal1ty 750w Power Supply

For the past two years OCZ has been capitalizing on the Jonathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel name to promote their gaming series of memory and power supplies. The product we have for review today is the new OCZ Fatal1ty 750W power supply. The 750W carries OCZ's exclusive PowerSwap five year warranty, ensuring if you ever experience a problem with your power supply, you'll get a new replacement and not a refurbished unit. The 80Plus Bronze certification rates the 750W at a higher efficiency, and the new modular cable design utilizes low-profile, molded cables rather than stiff, bulky nylon mesh wrap. nVidia SLI-Ready certification determines the 750W to be dual-GPU capable, with quad +12v rails and four 6+2pin PCI-e cables.

Devotec Solar Sound 2 Bluetooth Stereo Speaker Review
MEGATech posted a review on the Devotec Solar Sound 2 Bluetooth Stereo Speaker

Do you remember the first Devotec Solar Sound from late last year? As it turns out, Devotec already has a follow-up to that product, attempting to improve on the Bluetooth speaker in just about every way. It still serves the same fundamental purpose, receiving a stereo Bluetooth signal from your music phone, but the new Devotec Solar Sound 2 does appear to be better than its predecessor. Let's find out if it really is!

EVGA GTX 480 Hydro Copper FTW Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the EVGA GTX 480 Hydro Copper FTW

The EVGA Hydro Copper FTW GTX 480 looks to eliminate two of the biggest concerns regarding NVIDIA's GF100, heat and noise. Once the custom waterblock from Swiftech affixed to the EVGA Hydro Copper FTW GTX 480 is added to an existing liquid cooling loop, this videocard runs dead silent and operates at much lower temperatures than its air cooled counterparts. As an added bonus, it comes overclocked right out of the box too, and with further tweaking we expect it to hit even higher levels of performance. Read on as we add this baby to our watercooling loop to see how well it performs in stock form and how far we can push it past its rated speeds...
