Tweaknews.net posted Zalman ZM-NC1000 Ultra Quiet Notebook Cooler Review

The ZM-NC1000 is a very well built piece of notebook cooling hardware. But what it gains in performance, it loses in bulk and weight. If you are in the market for a cooling option for the road, then just keep on searching. This big boy weighs in at over 2.5lbs an when you add that kind of weight to an already loaded laptop bag, then expect a chore when you are lugging this around an airport. Add in the rather stiff price, and Zalman is really painted themselves in a premium niche corner.

HEXUS posted a review on the Altec Lansing inMotion iM600 iPod speaker dock

As we’ve seen with the yet to be launched (in the UK) iPhone, manufacturers will jump on any damn bandwagon they can to launch an extra that you’ll then blindly buy in the quest to become the complete Apple owner. But where this all falls on its arse is just how many of these products are actually any use or any good. Which of these camps with Altec Lansing’s inMotion IM600 docking station and speakers fall into?

Howtoforge published a tutorial about hardering PHP5 with Suhosin on Fedora 7

This tutorial shows how to harden PHP5 with Suhosin on a Fedora 7 server. From the Suhosin project page: "Suhosin is an advanced protection system for PHP installations that was designed to protect servers and users from known and unknown flaws in PHP applications and the PHP core. Suhosin comes in two independent parts, that can be used separately or in combination. The first part is a small patch against the PHP core, that implements a few low-level protections against bufferoverflows or format string vulnerabilities and the second part is a powerful PHP extension that implements all the other protections.

HardwareLogic posted Evoluent VerticalMouse 3 Review

All you need is a quick glance at the Evoluent VerticalMouse 3 and it's obvious we aren't dealing your momma's average mouse. While normally gaming mice steal all the spotlight, Evoluent is focusing on computer users with concerns about the biomechanics of a typical mouse. They appear to have made some changes to draw in a larger target audience this time around.

Bjorn3D checked out the Calibre 8600GT Video Card

The strengths of the card are instead the quality of the components. Not only is the card very fast right out of the box, it overclocks like a dream, allowing a mainstream gamer on a budget to get even more performance out of it. The 512 MB DDR3 memory also helps the performance of the card. The card also does not cost much more than other brand 8600GT cards making it a very good buy as long as you do not need HDCP-support.

Bjorn3D checked out the Corsair Nautilus 500 Water Cooling system

Corsair takes out all the guess work and gives you a rock solid item that offers very good performance. I was also shocked how easily it beat out the Big Typhoon. I knew it would do well but it really flexed its muscles when the heat got turned up. The sound from the unit was also easy on the ears. If you run multiple fans at full speed then this unit will give you a much quieter experience.

R&B Mods posted a review on the Arctic Cooling Turbo Module VGA Cooler

A few months ago, we had a chance to review the Arctic Cooling Accelero S2 video card cooler, which we found to be an innovative and solidly performing cooler despite its passive nature. We also wondered how it would perform if a fan were added to the mix. Well, thanks to the folks at Arctic Cooling, well-known makers of a wide range of cooling products, we get a chance to answer that question as we take a look at the Arctic Cooling Turbo Module VGA Cooler add-on. This unit is designed to work together with the Accelero S1 and S2 to deliver even better cooling performance. Is it worth the hassle? Read on to find out.

The Guru of 3D takes a look at the Enermax Infiniti 650W Power Supply

I have a confession to make. I have never owned an Enermax PSU to date that I didn't like or one that has failed on me. We here at Guru3D.com we believe these little masters of distribution are a key element in your PC. Today we'll gawp (for a change) not at a Kilowatt PSU, yet we can lower the price a little. Granted, it's still a high-end PSU that will still cost a good amount of money. It's the all new Enermax Infinity 650 Watt. And Kilowatt or not, we'll still throw everything at the PC that we can humanly, possibly do to get it unstable with a high wattage load to see if we can break it. I hope one day we'll succeed.

The new Infinity 650 watts PSU is interesting for a lot of reasons. First off, you won't drop 300 bucks on a PSU. No Sir, you can pick it up for roughly $159.99 (at the time of writing this article) which considering what it is is not a bad price at all. We immediately notice that the PSU is DXX ready for PCI Express 2.0 / DXX next generation graphic cards with 6+2P (8P) PCI Express connector over it's three separated 12volts distribution lines. Lovely.

Madshrimps compared PSU's from FSP and Silverstone

We take a look at two high wattage power supplies from companies known for their solid product lines; the Silverstone DA750 model features a single 12v rail and is rated at 750W. The FSP Epsilon has four 12v rails and combined offers up to 900W.

I4U NEWS reviews the Logitech V20 Notebook Speakers

Size wise the Logitech V20 Notebook Speakers are about the size of a standard paperback book each and come in a fitted carry case made of padded fabric. On the back of each speaker is a stand that pops out to allow the speakers to stand upright during use.

OCIA.net takes a look at the Wolf King Ultimate Gaming Pad in their latest review

The product up for review today is made by Wolf King and is called the Ultimate FPS Warrior Game Pad, or just Warrior for short. It's not meant to take the place of your keyboard but rather clusters most of the left-side keyboard controls into a circular pad for easier accessibility. If you're looking to replace your keyboard altogether check out the Timber Wolf which incorporates the circular pad with a standard notebook-sized keyboard.
