TrustedReviews have looked at the BFG GeForce 8800 GTS

In this case, going from the GTX to a GTS means a price reduction of close to £150. By moving from the GTX to the GTS, we see a drop in the number of stream processors from 128 to 96. These are also running at a slower frequency of 1.2GHz, compared to the 1.35GHz of the GTX. We also
see a drop in the number of pixel output engines, from 24 to 20. This drop in pixel throughput should only really be an issue at very high resolutions.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Canon PowerShot G7

Since the introduction of the PowerShot G1 in 2000 (I bought one of those – ed.), Canon’s flagship G-series has stood at the very top of the semi-pro digital compact market, and has done a lot to help maintain Canon’s enviable reputation for quality and design. The previous camera in the series was the G6, launched in 2004, which featured a 7.1-megapixel sensor, a very fast f/2.0-3.0 4x zoom lens and RAW mode recording, as well as other useful features such as a tilt & twist LCD monitor, full manual exposure control, spot metering, interval timer and an IR remote control included as standard. It is a camera with a fantastic reputation, and very popular with serious enthusiast
photographers.

Kombatant´s Lair posted a review on openSUSE 10.2

After quite a while I decided to create another OpenSource Journal entry. Reason for that was simple: I decided to install the new openSUSE 10.2, after spending more than two years with Ubuntu, and I wanted to see whether Linux installations have gotten any better. This is going to be an ongoing thing, with a part two following near the end of the year with more impressions and (hopefully even less) problems that I faced, and how I dealt with them.

BIOS Magazine posted a review on the Rock Pegasus 335

The latest addition to Rock's popular Pegasus range, the svelte Pegasus 335 (from 722 ex. VAT) features Intel Centrino technology with a Core 2 Duo processor that offers a great level of performance for a thin and light laptop. Weighing just over 2kg and only 34mm high, the system manages to pack in an excellent 13.3-inch WXGA display (most ultra-portables have a 12.1-inch screen) with X-Glass technology (blacks are truly black and colours are amazingly rich) and a digital TV tuner as standard
(doesn't support MCE, Windows XP Home pre-installed), Rock's Pegasus 335 is a neat portable entertainment centre.

Hardware Pacers has posted a review on the Thermaltake Armor with 250mm Side Fan

The Thermaltake Armor with massive 250 mm side fan is an amazing beast of a computer case. With a height of just over .5 meters, this case is an awesome presence in any room. This case packs an amazing 250mm side fan that is by far the largest included system case fan that the Hardware-Pacers team has seen. If that wasn't enough, this amazing case also includes 4 more system fans (2 x 120mm fans, and 2 x 90mm fans). The Armor is also built to support any type of cooling weather it be a liquid cooled or a fanless cooling system. This case is capable of supporting Micro ATX, ATX, Extend ATX, and BTX motherboards, and is equipped with an awesome 11 5.25in drive bays. The case uses a screwless slot mounting solution for easy assembly. A front drawer for storage and magnetic folding front brackets give this case a stylish design and functionality that hard core computer users will love.

It's been a few months since we've had the opportunity to play with a Mushkin kit, but we now have their XP2-8500 on the hotseat. We compare its performance to Super Talents and Kingstons top kits to see who comes out on top.

3D Game Man posted a review on the SteelSeries SteelSound 3H & 4H Headsets

Both the SteelSound 3H and 4H headsets offer great bang for the buck. The 3H headset is targeted at the budget market, but great if you need an inexpensive, small, foldable headset for a LAN party. The 4H has a little better sound quality, larger earcups, and is more comfortable, but it's not foldable like the 3H. Watch the Video to find out more...

Tweaknews.net posted a Steel Series SteelSound 3H Portable Gaming Headset review

Well, given the price of the 3H I don't think you could ask for a better headset. This is definitely a solid entry-level product from SteelSound. The sound quality is amazing and the build quality is solid. Just listening to a few music tracks was enough for me to fall in love with these Headphones and trust me when I say that's no easy thing to achieve.

Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the ASUS Striker Extreme NVIDIA 680i SLI Motherboard

I think the price is a bit high, even for what you get, but you know if there's only a couple things you should spend the extra money on it's the power supply and the motherboard to base the rest of your high powered gaming system off. Sure you can pick up a competitors new 680i SLI motherboard for a lot less money, but you won't get the ASUS exclusive features like the on-boards LED's, the Q-Connector, the LCD Poster, the EL back plate, the silent copper heatpipe cooling solution and 8-Phase power design among others.

XtremeComputing posted a review on the Thermaltake Tribe VX - external water cooling

All in all I couldn't have asked for a better result and as the thermal paste settles it may well improve further. Taking into consideration the Price and ease of install this is very nice bit of kit. I just wish although it is not noisy there were some sort of fan control for the fans,

Pro-Clockers posted a review on the Abit IL9 Pro motherboard

One of those no-frill motherboards is the IL9 Pro. This is a motherboard based on the older but newly improved Intel 945 chipset, now labeled 945P. All boards offer support for Intel's current beast, the Core2 Duo and up to four gigs of ram. If you take into account just these two features, the board has room for upgradeability if you choose not to go the Conroe route just yet. Another advantage this board holds is that it is priced right for the budget minded person.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Viewsonic VG2230wm

The Viewsonic makes a real feature of its built-in speakers, which are quite evidently underneath the logo. Round the back you’ll find DVI and D-Sub ports, along with an audio input for the speakers. There’s no HDCP compliance listed for the DVI socket in the documentation, which will be a problem if you plan to watch HD DVD or Blu-ray on your PC.
