Bigbruin.com posted a review on the Telstar TLD-3500 Network Attached Storage Enclosure

Geeks.com has provided us a stand alone network attached storage device manufactured by TelStar. The TLD-3500 uses a 3.5" IDE hard drive to provide an external storage solution via an Ethernet or USB 2.0 connection. The installation was very simple, and no serious technical knowledge is required. If you can read and follow a set of instructions you shouldn't have any problems getting this up and running quickly.

Thermaltake W3 Review
techPowerUp! posted a new review on the Thermaltake W3

Watercooling a CPU or a graphics card is nothing out of the ordinary these days. With the arrival of Core 2 Duo, people have started to put emphasis on cooling their chipset too, in order to achieve higher overclocks. As if Thermaltake was expecting this, they released a new chipset block, the Aqua Brazing W3, designed to cool almost any chipset on today's market.

Microsoft Windows Vista Beta 2 Review
GideonTech.com posted a review on Microsoft Windows Vista Beta 2

Since Microsoft was freely giving away Beta 2 copies of Windows Vista a couple of weeks ago, I decided to pick up a copy of the 32bit and 64bit DVDs. They are actually not hard to get. You just needed to answers a few questions from their quiz and wait a week or two for them to ship it.

So what kind of experience can we expect to see within the first few minutes of running vista? We're going to take a look and see how Vista visually shapes up to a first time user.

Zalman Fatal1ty FC-ZV9 VGA Cooler Review
Hardware Logic posted a review on the Zalman Fatal1ty FC-ZV9 VGA Cooler

As GPUs have become more powerful, heat has become a true concern for mid-range and high-end videocards. Couple this with the fact that many manufacturers have begun overclocking their videocards at the factory and you aren't just burning up framerates! Luckily, there are a wide range of after-market video coolers available to help us combat these thermal issues. Zalman has long been a source for outstanding performance and cooling products, so we jumped at the opportunity to be the fisrt to kick the tires on their newest offering, the Fatal1ty FC-ZV9 videocard cooler. Read along as we take this cooler out for a spin in order to see if it can keep our GPU cool, or if its just a lot of hot air.

PC Design Lab Qmicra Aluminum SFF Case Review
PCApex have a new review up on a SFF case from the people at PC Design Lab.

The distinctly beveled top corners may remind you of a lunchbox or a barn, and I admittedly didn't care for the minimalist aesthetics at first. The bevels give the case a good amount of added rigidity versus leaving them square and is but one of many finely engineered features I came to appreciate more and more as I worked with this case.

MSI K9N SLI Platinum Motherboard Review
Viper Lair posted a review on the MSI K9N SLI Platinum Motherboard

Despite not being based on NVIDIA's flagship chipset, the MSI K9N SLI Platinum has shown to be a very impressive board. The build quality and design is very good. Minor items, such as SATA connection placement, was well thought out by MSI. We liked the CMOS reset button, as it makes recovering from unbootable system changes very easy. The heatsinks scattered about do help in controlling the heat, though some active cooling is recommended if you're using a water cooler. The flat chipset cooler as well as the wide space between PEG slots leave more options for the user as well.

TT Toughpower 700W Review
Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the TT Toughpower 700W

I think it is safe to say that Thermaltake has done well with this ToughPower 700W power supply. It certainly had no problem with the testing and I must say that I truly tried to make the power supply fail. Hundreds of 3DMark runs were made and endless hours of gaming couldn't budge any rail on this power supply. The compact size also makes this power supply an easy choice for any system build.

City Life: PC Game Review
Gamepyre posted a review on the City Life: PC Game

The influx of slightly more micromanagement to a Sim City styled title gives you full control over how the city will grow and mature, yet at the same token, gives the feeling of having to babysit the citizens. To those of us that know how little fun that is, it's compounded by the frustration of a single tune soundtrack, and visuals done by a mad scientist on a cloning binge. So it comes down to this gameplay or graphics gamers? If you're for the former, than City Life is the title for you, if you're for the latter..!!!

XFX GeForce 7900GS PV-T71P-UDE3 Video Card Review
Motherboard.org posted a review on the GeForce 7900GS PV-T71P-UDE3 Video Card

With the announcement of the 7950GT and the 7900GS, NVIDIA looks to bring the 79xx series into the upper mid-range of the market with price points of $199 for the 7900GS. At this price point, you get all of the performance and features of the 7800GT on the 90 nanometer process. ATI has lowered their x1900xt in price to compete with the 7950GT, but without a 7950GT it's hard to compare. XFX continues to deliver high-end quality VGA cards to the market and the 7900GS is a solid Editors Choice due to its performance and price point. Good Job XFX!
