HP Z800 Workstation review
IT PRO have a review of a HP Z800 Workstation.

For those who think computers are dull functional and slightly boring, the name 'workstation' isn't going to change their minds in a hurry. After all, it does what its name suggests - it's something that you sit at to get a job done as quickly as efficiently as possible.

HP's Z800 workstation is designed to do very much that, but there's one difference - it's a computer that's encased in a system that can quite justifiably be described as 'cool', which isn't the sort of term you'd normally associate with workstations.

The system is purchased in several different components and if you get all the gear you can control plug connected lamps, AC units, and your door lock. If you are interested in home automation, read the full Schlage LiNK system review here.

Hardware Secrets posted a review on the ASUS U-65GA 650 W Power Supply

ASUS is the number on motherboard manufacturer in the world and they've been expanding to other business for several years, recently reaching the power supply market. Though ASUS power supplies are not sold in the US, this didn't prevent us from getting our hands on their 650 W product, which is sold throughout the world. Like the 500 W (P-50GA) model we already reviewed this unit is manufactured by Delta Electronics. Does this power supply carry ASUS high-quality standards? Let's see.

OCZ Behemoth Review
Neoseeker posted a review on the OCZ Behemoth gaming mouse

OCZs latest mouse is dubbed the Behemoth, and rightly so. I will spoil the surprise early, this is easily the largest mouse I ever handled. Well endowed mice usually fare pretty well in ergonomics, which is great. The Behemoth also features solid specifications expected from any decent gaming mouse, including a 3200 DPI sensor and a software suite to load custom profiles.

Western Digital Caviar Black and RE4 2 TB Hard Disk Drive Review
Hardware Secrets posted a review on the Western Digital Caviar Black and RE4 2 TB Hard Disk Drives

Until very recently the only 2 TB hard disk drives available on the market were "green" models, rotating at lower speeds in order to save energy, like Seagate Barracuda LP and Western Digital Caviar Green. Western Digital has finally released two 7,200 rpm models, Caviar Black (targeted to desktops) and RE4 (targeted to servers). Let's take a look on the performance from these new drives.

Enter now, the era of the Core i5 and Core i7 1156 CPU from Intel. The birth of their new baby has taken the benchmark proven strategies of the 1366 and further expanded on its abilities. This brings us to the new motherboards with the fresh Intel P55. These motherboards now have done away with the north bridge and have a totally new technology about them. The various manufacturers are now beginning to release their production models of these 1156 P55 motherboards, including the motherboard giant, MSI. The MSI P55-CD53 is the mainstream solution for 1156 motherboards. The MSI P55-CD53 incorporates the revolutionary OC Genie technology for one step overclocking. The abilities to fine tune BIOS adjustments to achieve your own overclock, or work with the OC Genie for extremely simplistic, but nicely performing overclocks. Couple this technology with the DR.

VidaBox Premium Wireless Keyboard with Laser Trackball
TweakTown takes a look at the VidaBox Premium Wireless Keyboard with Laser Trackball

Today on the slab we have a treat from a HTPC and Media Centre specialist company called VidaBox. Quite often is the case that you have spent a large sum on that shiny new HTPC sitting under your TV or in your HI-FI rack, but neglect it as more than a music and movie playback means because you lack that bridge between your grubby mits and the desktop.

I’m talking about keyboard and mouse combinations of course! Your 1080p native screen has more than enough real-estate to display webpages and play games, so why shouldn’t you use that awesome setup to do more than just watch Finding Nemo...

CRU DataPort SecureDock Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the CRU DataPort SecureDock

Hard drive enclosures are generally something cheap, mobile, and entirely insecure. A passerby in a lab, office, or other location with a computer with potentially privileged information could easily open a computer, extract the hard drive, and make off with the data. It's even easier if the hard drive is an external. The CRU DataPort SecureDock attempts to address this. Combining a proprietary enclosure connector format, a locking enclosure dock, and a token, the DataPort SecureDock aims to beef up the security of an external hard drive. ThinkComputers has the review.

NZXT Panzerbox Review
PureOverclock has published a review of the NZXT Panzerbox case.

The NZXT Panzerbox is an interesting product that seeks to break the mold of traditional case styles, dimensions, and usability, looking more like a LANbox than a mid-tower case. Yet interestingly, NZXT claims that the cooling performance of the Panzerbox is on par with full tower cases. Quite a big claim we think. Today we put that to the test and find out.

LUXA2 H1-Touch Mobile Device Stand Review
APH Networks has published a new review on the LUXA2 H1-Touch Mobile Device Stand

There's something when it comes to luxury: It's not about the function, nor is it about practicality. It's about the excess and sheer form; the beauty in itself when it comes to the object's existence. It's about the image, and the fact that, while you could have better spent your money elsewhere, you didn't. Because despite the vanity of the object, it's so necessary, yet completely unnecessary, all at the same time. The fact that, if function was even remotely a concern, you could have saved a wad of cash by purchasing something that comes in less form and does the same thing. But you didn't. Because it's about luxury. To get a hold of what it's like to own something that addresses such an interesting market segment, what we have here at APH Networks today is one of the latest creations from LUXA2 -- a brand created by Thermaltake that focuses on luxury lifestyle products. The company's H1-Touch is all about coming down to its aesthetic value. Economic value? What is that, anyway? An iPhone/iPod (Or pretty much any mobile electronics device, to be honest) stand that "holds nothing but your mobile device" and costs approximately $50 retail at press time, the LUXA2 H1-Touch certainly isn't the Swiss army knife of mobile device stands! But for what it's worth, the LUXA2 stand is constructed of a beautiful, clean aluminum design; and even a couple Swarovski crystals to give the visual appeal a little boost. Just for sitting on your desk all day, and that's it. Good stuff. So we'll show off our little bit of excessive pride today, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Nvidia GPU Technology Conference Coverage
OCC has published an article on the Nvidia GPU Technology Conference

Currently, there has not been any mention of clock speeds but after looking at the specs this card will be a monster on specs alone. Whether that holds true is up for speculation until we see Fermi live and in person. No claims have been made as to the gaming performance delivered but during the keynote speech today Jen-Hsun Huang showed that the Fermi architecture will be 8x faster in double precision performance over the GT200. The keynote speech was the highlight of the day as Jen-Hsun Huang spoke about the current and future applications for GPU computing and how it will change the supercomputing landscape.
