Thermaltake Mozart TX Case with 7in Display
TrustedReviews have looked at the Thermaltake Mozart TX Case with 7in Display.

Ok, jokes aside – this thing is big. It's just over 720mm tall, 330mm wide and 360mm deep. That's bigger than two full sized ATX cases side by side (that's the really tall ones, not the midi cases most of us have). The desks in our office are between 690-710mm high, while my home desk is 715mm. Neither of these are high enough to accommodate this behemoth of a case. However, by removing the cheap plastic feet from the bottom of the case, I could just about slide this under my main desk.

Thecus N5200 RouStor NAS Router Review
TrustedReview have looked at the Thecus N5200 RouStor NAS Router

Just when you thought it wasn’t possible to cram any more features into a desktop NAS appliance along comes Thecus and its latest N5200 RouStor. This is the first of its kind to support up to five SATA hard disks and it also brings RAID-6 into the picture. Normally seen on higher end disk arrays, RAID-6 offers dual independent parity and can survive the loss of two hard disks. A great idea but it seems a tad excessive for a desktop storage box as it requires a minimum of four disks to function and it eats up an inordinate amount of raw storage capacity.

LLG KG920 – 5-megapixel Cameraphone Review
TrustedReviews have looked at the LG KG920 – 5-megapixel Cameraphone

There. I’ve said it. This is a phone with a camera that’s actually worth having. Now don’t get me wrong here: if I bought this handset I would still want a separate digital camera, and there are things about the camera that I don’t like at all. But nonetheless, you can take photos with it that you would be prepared to share, keep and even get printed at A4.

Hiyatek CF-6159-1 Laptop Cooler with USB Hub Review
Bigbruin.com posted a review on the Hiyatek CF-6159-1 Laptop Cooler with USB Hub

There is a compartment on the bottom side of the Hiyatek CF-6159-1 cooler between the two fan openings. Opening a sliding door reveals a storage area for the included USB power cable which has two full size connectors on the end intended for your notebook computer, while the end intended for the cooler has a single mini USB connector. In some situations it may be necessary to have both connections plugged into the host computer to make sure that enough power is provided and that data can be transferred through the hub connections, but I found that using just one USB connection was more than adequate on my notebook computer.

Antec Nine Hundred Gamer Case Review
XYZ Computing put up an Antec Nine Hundred Gamer Case Review

The Nine Hundred Ultimate Gamer Case is unlike anything else in Antec's line up. If it had to be compared to anything, it would probably be the closest to the P150, but it is quite far removed from the Performance One line. The Nine Hundred (900) is a steel mid tower that is designed to offer the maximum amount of cooling in the smallest amount of space.

In addition to having more cooling than any Antec case before it, the 900 is currently Antec's only case to use a fan larger than the standard 120mm model. These extra large fans are something relatively new to the mass market and a few companies have gotten there first, like Enermax, Aerocool, and Thermaltake (though most have opted for 250mm models). This case looks like it is going to be a great addition to Antec's lineup- it is a bit more adventurous than what they normally put out, but judging from what we have seen from Antec in the past, it should be worth investigating further.

MSI K9N SLI Platinum Review
HotHardware.com looked at a budget-targeted SLI equipped motherboard from MSI, the K9N SLI Platinum.

While this motherboard was originally targeted at high-end gamers when it initially launched (and still can work quite well in this environment), the plummeting prices of SLI gear and the introduction of newer, more attractive SLI-enabled chipsets have allowed this board to now be priced for those with significantly lower budgets. Head on over to the site and check it out.

HIS X1650 XT IceQ Turbo Dual DVI 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express Video Card Review
BonaFideReviews posted a review on the HIS X1650 XT Turbo video card

After reviewing HIS' X1950 Pro Turbo card just the other day we now take a look at their X1650 XT. You may think that the X1650 XT is just a slightly higher clocked X1650 Pro but you would be wrong. Yes the XT does have a tad increase in clock speed over the Pro version, 5MHz in core speed and 60MHz in memory speed, but the biggest difference is in the physical structure and architecture of the card.

All in all, the Asus P5NSLI provides a good base for a solid gaming platform with Nvidia's SLI and First Pocket technologies. On the flip side, overclockers may need to look else where for the ultimate tweaking board.
