Toshiba Satellite P755-3DV20 Review
TechReviewSource.com posted a review on the Toshiba Satellite P755-3DV20

The Toshiba Satellite P755-3DV20 is an affordable 3D-enabled laptop that is loaded with multimedia features that makes it stand out from the rest. You get a Blu-ray player, good Nvidia graphics, 3D-capabilities, USB 3.0 and Harman Kardon audio. While all this is great, it does lack in battery life and viewing angles.

Seagate GoFlex Turbo 750GB USB 3.0 Hard Drive Review
Bigbruin.com has published a review on the Seagate GoFlex Turbo 750GB USB 3.0 Hard Drive

Just when you thought there was nothing new when it comes to external hard drives, Seagate has found a new angle with their GoFlex Turbo 750GB USB 3.0 hard drive - something extra special that most folks don't even consider until it's too late - disaster recovery protection. It all stems from Seagate's philosophy that it's not the hardware that is important - it's your data.

Corsair SP2500 High-Power 2.1 PC Speaker System Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Corsair SP2500 High-Power 2.1 PC Speaker System

A couple of weeks ago when Bob was unboxing the Corsair SP2500 High-Power 2.1 PC Speaker System he made mention of how large they were. I really did not think that much of it until I went to pick up the speakers up from Bob’s place I thought he was having me review a 21 inch CRT monitor. The box is that huge. Most of the time people can claim that a 2.1 system is small enough to be semi-portable. This system, by definition is the exact opposite. Heavy and Huge. I was excited to get these boys home to hook up and play with them. Lets see what that play session yielded.

Cooler Master Storm Trooper Gaming Case Review
Ninjalane has posted their review of the new Trooper case from Cooler Master

We're going to make a bold statement and say that the CM Storm Trooper is the best looking case we have ever seen. The overall styling has perfect lines to complement the features and yet allows them to blend in with exceptional balance. A great example of this is the carrying handles.

Cooler Master Storm Trooper Case Review
Neoseeker posted a review on the Cooler Master Storm Trooper Case

With all the Storms brewing over at Cooler Master's case department, you'd think something called the Storm Trooper would have showed up sooner. Cooler Master's new case covers all the bases while including a feature set that would make most other cases look like Jar Jar Binks.

ASUS F1A75-I Deluxe (A75) Motherboard Review
TweakTown posted a review on the ASUS F1A75-I Deluxe (A75) Motherboard

Like every mITX board I see shown on our news page, when I saw the ASUS F1A75-I Deluxe I instantly said to myself "It must be mine". I say it every time, I love the mITX format, but there's just something about an ASUS version of boards. It just tends to stand out more than its competitors.

This was really obvious when ASUS jumped on the Brazos platform; the ASUS E35M-I Deluxe I reviewed in May was an awesome motherboard and the heatsink setup just stood out so much more than other boards we looked at.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Review
PureOverclock has published a review of the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler.

With the past Hyper 212 and Hyper 212 Plus products, Cooler Master is looking to continue to tweak and improve upon a successful and cost effective design with the Hyper 212 EVO. Still employing the versatile universal mounting solution for both Intel and AMD systems, the 212 has been very impressive in the performance-to-price battle in the marketplace. We're hoping for more of the same here with the EVO.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler

The CM Hyper 212 EVO retails for $34.99 and is aimed at budget conscious enthusiasts. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO looks almost physically identical to the Hyper 212 Plus with a few subtle but very effective changes. With a new wide range PWM fan and an updated Continuous Direct Contact ^(TM) surface design, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO takes budget CPU cooling performance to another level. Thankfully, this level of performance is compatible with the entire current desktop processor lineup from Intel and AMD and is even compatible with the upcoming AMD FX-Series processors so enthusiasts armed with the CM Hyper 212 EVO will be ready no matter what system they choose to run and overclock.

CM Storm Trooper Computer Case Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the CM Storm Trooper Computer Case

Most computer enthusiasts have only a single card in their systems: the video card. That being true, most of us could easily get by with a micro ATX motherboard in a small form factor case. But there are those who have multiple video cards, or water cooling setups with separate reservoirs and pumps; who have lots of hard drives and 5.25" bay devices, or need an XL-ATX motherboard to run a triple or quad video card system. They may represent a tiny section of the market, but they need a full tower case, and Cooler Master's shown before they're willing to address this need with cases like their HAF series. In this review, Benchmark Reviews looks at their latest full tower effort: the Cooler Master Storm Trooper.

Sapphire 6850 Vapor-X Review
PureOverclock has published a review of the Sapphire 6850 Vapor-X graphics card.

We are looking at the replacement for the original HD 5770: the Sapphire Radeon HD6850 Vapor-X. This card sports Sapphire's non-reference heatsink, black diamond chokes and 10-Phase power design, and looks to bring some robust gaming horsepower at lower temperatures with the popular Vapor-X cooler design. The HD 6850 graphics card was made for the mainstream population, with an MSRP of less than $170 and an added bonus of DiRT 3 thrown in to the mix, this looks like a very promising package for the average user.

Evercool Dr. Cool Multi Functional Router Cooler Review
DreamWare Computers posted a review on the Evercool Dr. Cool Multi Functional Router Cooler

Evercool, a global cooling company based out of Taiwan, has come up with the Dr. Cool - the world's first clamp-on cooling device designed specifically for consumer routers and modems. The Dr. Cool has a very simple and compact design allowing it to clamp onto various sizes of routers and modems and cool them with it's 80mm fan. The universal design of the Dr. Cool would also make it great for clamping onto much more than just IP devices. I have a Dr. Cool here today and am looking forward to seeing how well it can cool my toasty network hardware!

Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid Drive Review
eTeknix.com posted a review on the Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid Drive

There are so many advantages to fitting the latest SSD into your laptop, including greatly improved battery life and performance, but the prices are still astronomical for any capacity compared to their mechanical counterparts. For instance, most people have at least 160 GB storage in their laptop when purchased, and the cost of an SSD replacement for this small capacity will cost you the best part of £200, which is a good share of the price of a new laptop.

There is however several alternatives to this problem, most people have resorted to fitting a more modest 60 GB or 96 GB SSD and then using either Network Attached Storage, Portable Drives or External Desktop Drives to expand their storage capabilities. This is still not a cheap solution and is a large compromise when you want to take your laptop places.

The alternative that we are looking at today however, is a combination of a Mechanical Drive and a Solid State Drive and I do mean this quite literally. You would expect that is the perfect compromise, up to 500 GB of total storage with the performance of an SSD, we certainly hope this is the case.

Diablotek Fly ATX Mid Tower PC Case Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Diablotek Fly ATX Mid Tower PC Case

Today for review I’ve got the Diablotek Fly Mid Tower case or chassis. This case is very lightweight made from aluminum and magnesium with space inside for even the largest of video cards and even a large CPU cooler or liquid cooling system. The case has subtle yet stylish looks, it would fit fine in an office as your work computer or in your home housing your gaming system. So let’s just get right into it…

Sothink Video Converter Pro Review
Neowin is looking at Sothink Video Converter Pro to see if it lives up to the converting requirements of being fast and keeping quality

Sothink Video Converter includes a fantastic and very easy to use interface. You load videos you want to convert via the buttons along the top, and on the left hand side is the information regarding the codec you will be converting to. For basic users, the drop down Encoding Profile menu will be sufficient; advanced users can tinker with the settings in the Advanced tab.

The majority of the window is occupied by the list of files that you are planning on converting, as well as basic information about these files. With this information easily displayed and more available via a simple mouse-over, you can very easily make decisions on your encoding profiles via the settings on the left hand side.

Cooler Master Storm Trooper Full-Tower Case Review
Bjorn3D posted a review on the Cooler Master Storm Trooper Full-Tower Case

Ever since the HAF X was released last year in June, we haven't seen anything too exciting from Cooler Master. The HAF X supported XL-ATX motherboards like the GIGABYTE G1.Assassin or the EVGA Classified, but for extreme enthusiasts, it is a disappointment that there are only a limited number of cases that actually support these motherboards. Users can get modded cases, but that will cost a fortune, so Cooler Master designed a case that is not only very customizable, but also easy to carry around. This is a new addition to Cooler Master's Storm lineup of products, called the Cooler Master Storm Trooper.
