HP Photosmart 8750 Professional Review
TrustedReviews looked at the HP Photosmart 8750 Professional

There appears to be a sort of unwritten law which says wide carriage printers are used by graphics professionals, who pooh-pooh any of the light-hearted fripperies of their standard carriage counterparts. These are Real People, who don't need memory card slots, LCD displays or PictBridge sockets. Thank goodness HP realises the truth; that graphics professionals are more likely to be using digital cameras than most of the rest of us and are just as likely to want to print pictures from them, only bigger.

Enermax Aurora Keyboard Review
TrustedReviews looked at the Enermax Aurora Keyboard

The keyboard itself is very shallow. In fact it's almost flush to the desk. It's quite a strange feeling, but it did mean a wrist rest wasn't necessary and my wrists were kept nice and straight – no funny angles. My weight was more on my arms leaving my fingers to float above the keys. I have a bad habit of putting my weight on my wrists, which causes a lot of my problems, so the Enermax is definitely a good influence on my typing.

Thermaltake Purepower Power Express 250W SLI PSU Review
Bigbruin.com posted a review on the Thermaltake Purepower Power Express 250W SLI PSU

One of their latest products is very unique, not only in design, but also functionality. Thermaltake calls this new product the Purepower Power Express 250W power supply (model W0099RU). Being a power supply isn't what makes it unique, the fact that it's a power supply dedicated to powering a pair of PCI Express video cards is what makes it unique. That's right, a dedicated SLI certified power supply, which fits in a 5.25" drive bay.

Solwise HomePlug Ethernet PL-85PE Review
TrustedReviews looked at the Solwise HomePlug Ethernet PL-85PE

There are two key methods employed when trying to network a household – wireless or wired. Wireless can be problematic, has limited speed, reliability and security issues. Wired is faster, reliable but more time consuming to setup as it involves cabling. Personally, I think the technologies go hand in hand well – they aren't by any means mutually exclusive. I run a wired network at home as I do quite a few file transfers, and then I have wireless access which can come in handy for working from unusual places.

Buffalo Technology LinkStation Pro Review
TrustedReviews looked at the Buffalo Technology LinkStation Pro.

The main differences between the two LinkStation families are in the storage department with maximum capacity going through the roof as the top of the range model employs the very latest 750GB SATA hard disks. There are no changes for connectivity as the unit also sports Gigabit Ethernet plus a pair of USB 2.0 ports but has a faster 400MHz Marvel Orion Media Vault processor – the older LinkStations use a 200MHz variety.

Tuniq 2 Case Review
Bjorn3D checked out the Tuniq 2 Case

Overall, the fit and finish of the Tuniq 2 is very nice. The paint seems to protect against smudges and fingerprints, and the case itself is rather short and long. The dark black paint used on the Tuniq 2 is best defined as a semi-gloss with a flat-black feel. In fact, nearly every part of the case is a bit abrasive in look and feel. LetÂ’s continue this review with a more detailed look at the Tuniq 2 from its many views.

Enermax Galaxy 1000 W Power Supply Review
Hardware Secrets has posted a review on the Enermax Galaxy 1000 W Power Supply

Galaxy 1000 W is the most high-end power supply from Enermax and one of the most powerful power supplies for desktops and servers available on the market today.

Let’s take an in-depth look on this beast.

Sapphire x1900XT 512mb Graphics Card Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Sapphire x1900XT 512mb Graphics Card

Recently I made a large upgrade to my main gaming/review rig. I went from a 3500+ Venice CPU to an E6600 Conroe. From 1gb of OCZ PC4000 VX memory to 2gb of OCZ PC6400. However the most expensive but certainly the most noticeable change that I made was moving from a rather poultry XFX PCX6600 to a much heftier Sapphire x1900XT 512mb graphics card. Now I can play games and top resolutions with no problems and I am once again king of the XSReviews benchmark tables. Read on to see what kind of scores I get with my new best friend.

Maximum CPU posted a review on the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000

For several years now, Microsoft has successfully established its name in the peripheral industry. However, most of their keyboards and mice are not targeted towards gamers. Today we will take a look at Microsoft’s Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. This keyboard is designed for comfort as the number one priority, but how well will it work for gaming?

Frosty Tests the Thermalright Ultra-120 Low Noise Heatsink
FrostyTech put up a Thermalright Ultra-120 Low Noise Heatsink review

The Ultra-120 heatsink extends Thermalright's position as one of the best low noise heatsink manufactures in the market. Yet the Thermalright Ultra-120 applies only fairly simple cooling technologies; a selection of U-shaped heat pipes, widely spaced aluminum cooling fins, and a low speed 120 mm fan which is user provided. The end result though is a large, and albeit balky heatsink, but one which can be operated very quietly while disbursing the high heat loads from modern-day dual core processors.

EVGA nForce4 SLI x16 Motherboard Review
Motherboards.org posted a review on the EVGA nForce4 SLI x16 Motherboard

The EVGA 123-K8-NF47-AX is an excellent example of the nForce4 SLI x16 platform. With the recent launch of the Socket AM2 platform, the Socket 939 CPUs will likely disappear over time. For those wanting to upgrade their nForce3 motherboards or wanting to move to SLI without changing their CPU and memory, the nForce4 SLI x16 platform is a good alternative to the AM2, as moving to the new platform requires a new CPU, and new memory.

Icy Dock MB452 Drive Enclosure Review
XYZ Computing has posted a new article out on the Icy Dock MB452 Drive Enclosure

In this article we will be looking at another product from Icy Dock, an external drive enclosure called the MB452. This single drive enclosure is basically a more robust version of the MB122 and should interest a lot more people than an internal solution. Rather than use internal SATA the MB452
uses external SATA and USB to connect to the computer, options which make the enclosure useful with more computers than an internal option. A major plus is that the MB452's removable drive tray can be used with the MB122 in order to maximize the number of systems with which the product can be used.

HP Pavilion dv8240ca Laptop Review
Bytesector posted a review on the HP Pavilion dv8240ca Laptop

One thing that usually holds true with computers is that more is better. More processing power? Of course! More RAM? Sure why not! How about more hard drive space? Always! Well that's just what HP did with their latest DV8000 series laptop. They took the great features from their existing laptops such as QuickPlay and a remote, and gave you more of what you wanted. More processing power? Now you have an AMD Turion 64 at 2.2 GHz. More RAM? Up to 2048MB of 333MHz DDR. Hard drive space? These laptops support a second hard drive, providing up to 200 GB of space. This new system has the potential to be a huge step forward, so let's see how it performs.

Low Power and Energy-Efficient CPUs
Lost Circuits take a look at Low Power and Energy-Efficient CPUs

With the release of the Core2 Duo line of CPU, Intel has made a complete turn-around in their line-up, pushing the new party line of instructions per Watt. At first glance, primarily the lower speed grades are target for energy-efficiency claims for the simple reason that power consumption increases with frequency in a linear fashion. At close-up, the situation is quite a bit different since Intel's Enhanced Speedstep Technology throttles the frequency of the higher grades back to the same base frequency of 100 MHz while simultaneously lowering the supply voltage, thereby mitigating any potential savings of the lower speedgrades under idle conditions.
