Cooler Master UCP 1100W power supply review
Elite Bastards posted Cooler Master UCP 1100W power supply review

As you've probably guessed by now, the UCP 1100W is a 1100 Watt power supply with a maximum output of 1320 Watts, which conforms to the 80 Plus Silver efficiency standard, with an efficiency rating of 89.05% at 50% load and 86.99% on average, making it one of the first PSUs in this particular power range to gain such certification.

With all of that power at its disposal, you'd expect to see it paired up with a lot of connectivity cabling-wise, and that's exactly what we find here. Aside from the normal 24-pin power and a couple of eight-pin motherboard power connectors, the UCP 1100W also supports a single floppy drive, nine Serial ATA devices and five Molex connectors. The power supply certainly isn't lacking in its support for PCI Express graphics boards, with three eight-pin and six six-pin PCI Express power connectors on offer here too - Needless to say, this unit is also NVIDIA SLI certified, and running 3-way or Quad SLI (as well as CrossFireX) should be possible with the amount of power and connectivity on show here.

Early Look: Asus P6T Deluxe - Intel X58 Begins
Bit-Tech published an Early Look of Asus P6T Deluxe

With all the kerfuffle surrounding Intel's IDF this week and Nehalem news pouring out of almost every crevice of the internet, Asus gave /bit-tech/ a quick wink and a nudge then slipped us a brown paper envelope...via a postman.

Trying not to act like a kid at Christmas and moving swiftly to a secluded corner, we ripped it open to find that Asus' P6T Deluxe is quite the pimped out hot potato. Based on Intel's upcoming X58 chipset it will have more features than you can shake a fist full of sticks at - overclockers and high end users especially will love this.

BFG ES800 Power Supply Review
Virtual-Hideout posted BFG ES800 Power Supply Review

BFG has a great power suppy here - not only does it look good, but it does it with performing style. For the duration of the testing, and the subsequent gaming session afterwards, performance remained solid while silence was in full effect. I found no issues with any of the cabling, or the installation of the unit - that was the fault of the unit. Overall, I would have to say that if you're in the market for a PSU at this price point ($219), BFG's ES800 is an excellent choice. While it's lack of support for Tri-SLI is definitely disappointing, it's ability to take a system with two 4870x2 or 9800GX2 cards is admirable.

Toshiba Satellite L300-11G Review
InsideHW.com has posted review for Toshiba Satellite L300-11G notebook.

Beside Satellite A300 and P300 notebook series, Toshiba also released on market redesigned Satellite L series. We will introduce you with all novelties through testing of model Toshiba Satellite L300-11G. L series didn't experience that much cosmetic changes like new A and P series did. We could even say that Satellite L300 is less "fancy" than its predecessor. Some of us will count that as big plus because L300 has above all "neutral" design.

Apevia X-Sniper Mid-Tower Case Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Apevia X-Sniper Mid-Tower Case

We review quite a few cases here at OCIA.net, but it's been a few months since our last one from Apevia. It's always exciting to see what new chassis designs they come up with, one common factor among them all is the ability of Apevia to produce a quality, stylish case at a very good price. Today we have a new mid-tower to take a look at, dubbed the X-Sniper.

Thermaltake Xaser VI VG4000BWS Review
OCC has published a new review on the Thermaltake Xaser VI VG4000BWS

The case performed on par with the comparison test case with similar characteristics. The airflow was more than adequate, and cooled all of the hardware I had in it and then some, and with all of the room available, I could add enough hardware to run NORAD. Thermaltake really makes it easy to install and remove hardware with the tool-less design and removable parts. This is the most modular case I have ever had the pleasure to test, and on top of that, you can add Thermaltake's integrated Liquid Cooling System for even better temperature control. The design of the case makes me feel like I truly have a powerful self-built system, instead of a "cookie cutter" computer with a drab chassis.

Palit Radeon HD 4850 Sonic Graphics Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Palit Radeon HD 4850 Sonic Graphics Card

Now that the HD 4850 has been hanging around for a bit, we’re beginning to see more and more companies jump on the aftermarket bandwagon. The latest company to do this is Palit, bringing the highly popular HD 4850 to the also highly popular Sonic line.

The HD 4850 has had so much going for it from the word go; its aggressive pricing and excellent performance gave users everything they wanted. It wasn’t all rosy, though; while the use of a single slot cooler was handy, it caused the card to run extremely hot.
