Epson Stylus DX4400 All-in-One Review
TrustedReviews have looked at the Epson Stylus DX4400 All-in-One.

The Stylus DX4400 is a mixed bag. Epson has managed to produce a good-looking, functional all-in-one at a very competitive price, while still offering individual ink cartridges and low running costs. Print quality is also reasonable and the printer handles photo printing surprisingly well for a machine not geared specifically to photos. Where it misses out is on print speed and noise level. It takes a long time to produce a page and could never be described as quiet thanks to Epson's trademark paper feed mechanism.

ASUS Extreme Radeon HD 3870 Review
TechSpot published ASUS Extreme Radeon HD 3870 review

This week AMD came to unveil its latest generation of ATI graphics hardware, an awaited release that without a doubt created a lot of expectations and speculation especially because of two factors:
1) The dominant player, Nvidia had just killed its whole high-end line up two weeks before, in favor of an affordable and more efficient model, the GeForce 8800GT.
2) A holiday season that has shaped up to become one of the most exciting in recent times for PC gamers, with a buttload of good titles like Unreal Tournament 3, Crysis, Call of Duty 4, World in Conflict, The Orange Box, Bioshock, Hellgate: London, and the list goes on...

Sapphire HD 3850 Review
OCC has published a new review of the Sapphire HD 3850

Once I had removed the HD 3850 from the packaging, I was able to tell that the card itself had a picture of the same lady as the box did. The Sapphire HD 3850 card is has ATI's Crossfire X Technology and also will support PCI-E 2.0. The heatsink and fan setup on this card does not extend to the end of the card like some other video cards but the fan housing does completely cover the GPU's heatsink. This card has two DVI-I outputs on it as well as a S-Video output located between the DVI-I outputs.

LG L226WTQ LCD Review
Review Spring have a new review of the LG L226WTQ LCD, a budget 22" inch monitor with impressive performance for gamers.

LCD monitors have evolved rapidly over recent years, especially in response times and panel size. The latest release of 22" monitors has brought several high end monitors well into the price range of a budget gamer. Two of these stand out in particular, the Samsung 226BW and the LG L226WTQ. Both of these panels feature a 2ms response time, which is an essential requirement for gamers (as it reduces any ghosting effects as seen on slower panels). However, the Samsung monitor often retails at a higher price for an almost identically priced monitor.

Scythe KAMA WING SILVER Aluminum Memory Heatsink Review
DragonSteelMods posted a review on the Scythe KAMA WING SILVER Aluminum Memory Heatsink

Today, we will be looking at a new product from Scythe, the Kama-Wing, a passive cooler for PC memory. This heatspreader is unique in its appearance which features a set of "wings" that come off at an 80 degree angle from the memory area of the spreaders. Let's see if the Kama-Wing actually improves the temperature of our memory.

Mobile Edge G-Pak Review
A True Review posted a review on the Mobile Edge G-Pak

A short while ago, I reviewed a uniquely designed super secure backpack called the SecurePack by Mobile Edge. While that bag certainly has its advantages, for those that have no need for such a secure backpack would certainly be put off by the SecurePack's inconveniences.

Cyber Snipa PC Gamepad 2 Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Cyber Snipa PC Gamepad 2

With gaming becoming an increasingly competitive activity, some gamers choose to add a little edge to their play through upgrading their main weapons, the keyboard and mouse. Some however, choose to break away from a device originally designed for typing, and use a gamepad or gaming board. Cyber Snipa are one company attempting to cash in on this gamer choice with their PC-Gamepad 2. Let's see what it can do.

PC Stats posted A-DATA Vitesta Extreme Edition DDR2-800 2GB Memory Kit Review

Looking at the specs the A-DATA Vitesta Extreme Edition DDR2-800 memory has all the makings of a high end DDR2 kit; 2GBs of PC2-6400 dual channel goodness, Enhanced Performance Profile support (EPP), 4-4-4-12 memory timings and a pretty swanky bright red memory heatsink.

Corsair TX750W Power Supply Review
3D Game Man posted a review on the Corsair TX750W Power Supply

Like Corsair's HX series of power supplies, the TX series will be a tremendous hit. When you combine a very well built, high efficiency, reliable and quiet power supply with a 5 year warranty, its win win for everyone. This product also comes with a 140mm fan so it remains quiet and cool even under load. It's also small so not only would this be great for a server environment, but it would be well suited in a gaming HTPC.

Hardware Zone published a review on the abit IP35 Pro Off Limits motherboard

The abit IP35 Pro was abit's top Intel motherboard before the arrival of the Intel X38 chipset, but with the IX38 QuadGT launched, is the board still a good choice for the power user? We took the IP35 Pro for our usual spin and found a solid performer not to be overlooked.

SteelSeries Siberia Neckband Headset Review
bit-tech published a review of the SteelSeries Siberia Neckband headset

I want to love the Siberia neckset – in fact, I do love it. It looks good, it sounds great and the cables are all decently sized. On top of that, the microphone is good too and I took the Siberia home to test the mic out via Team Fortress 2, where it performed perfectly. The cable is bendy and malleable and the mic itself is perfectly responsive.

However, no matter how much I love it I have to admit that I did have problems with it. I found myself switching between the Siberia neckset and the SteelSeries 5H v2 headset, which I recently re-discovered and fell in love with. The 5H v2s use a similar ear-cup design and microphone, but have a more conventional headstrap. It’s just a shame that they don’t look as cool.

The Siberia neckset is a great little device in some ways and fantastic in others, but its weak point is that the core of the design actually ends up giving us a bit of a headache. If you’ve got a high tolerance for pain or the right shaped head for the Siberia to grip to then you might find that the Siberia is just what you’re looking for and they’re also worth bearing in mind if you’re more concerned with the look than anything else. If not, then you might want to look at what else is available.

Saitek P3200 Force Rumble Gamepad Review
DragonSteelMods posted a review on the Saitek P3200 Force Rumble Gamepad

Today for review I have another Saitek Rumble Gampad, the P3200. The P3200 is essentially a stripped down version of the P3600 Cyborg, but it still offers the same Saitek quality and can be used with pretty much any game out there. The P3200 is a very capable rumble enabled gamepad that most anyone would be happy with.

Patriot Memory PDC32G1866LLK 2GB DDR3-1866 Memory Kit Review
PC Stats posted Patriot Memory PDC32G1866LLK 2GB DDR3-1866 Memory Kit Review

Patriot Memory made quite a name for itself in the DDR2 era by releasing some pretty fast memory. It's looking to continue its track record with DDR3 I expect. The 2GB Patriot Memory PDC32G1866LLK DDR3-1866 memory kit PCSTATS is testing for you today is the companies' fastest current memory part, running at a blistering 1866 MHz! The PDC32G1866LLK kit has a PC3-15000 rating, which that means it's capable of delivering a massive 15GB/s to the system. Yikes!

Synology DiskStation DS207+ Dual Drive SATA NAS Server Review
Futurelooks posted a review on the Synology DiskStation DS207+ Dual Drive SATA NAS Server

I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to toy with the Synology DiskStation DS207+ these past few days and I have to tell you that it is world’s better than any external hard drive I have ever used. From serving as a multimedia hub to backing up all your vital data, this is probably one of the best backup solutions you can get. It’s so good, in fact, that it is a device designed more for small business and corporate applications rather than homes and small workgroups.
