ASUS TUF Sabertooth X58 Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the ASUS TUF Sabertooth X58 motherboard

We test and review the ASUS TUF Sabertooth X58 motherboard. Much to our surprise the motherboard is actually LESS high-end than say a Rampage III Extreme, it does however come with the latest features like USB 3.0, SATA6G and offers nice aesthetics based on a military theme. Another oddity is that the cooling on this motherboard is based on a ceramic design.

Yeah, it is simply a stunning pierce of hardware just to look at alright. This military class design motherboard comes with some nice extra features, offers great performance and overclocks quite well also. All that for a really interesting price.

Turtle Beach Ear Force Z2 Review
OCC has published a review on the Turtle Beach Ear Force Z2

After just under a week of use, I can honestly say that the Ear Force Z2 is one of the more solid stereo gaming headsets I've ever used. Physically, they do not feel cheap, and I am sure these could survive the heavy beating of LAN parties and everyday use. The audio quality was definitely above par, as gaming audio sounded great and when I switched over to music I was not too disappointed.

Corsair HS1 USB Circumaural Gaming Headset Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Corsair HS1 USB Circumaural Gaming Headset

The Corsair HS1 USB Gaming Headset is designed for gamers who are serious about audio. The HS1 uses massive 50mm drivers deliver serious gaming punch, without sacrificing the sparkling sound quality you need to enjoy music and movies. The headphones are topped of with a noise-canceling microphone that ensures that your teammates and opponents hear you loud and clear.

We found the Corsair HS1 USB Gaming Headset to have an excellent build quality and rather good sound quality for a company that is just getting into audio products for the very first time. The 50mm drivers and the enclosed ear cups offer great mid-range tones and, to our surprise, high-range tones didn't sound half bad either. The biggest shock to us was that the high-range sounded pretty darn good on the HS1 headset and listening to music on them was a great experience on any music where you have crisp vocals. We thought the 50mm drivers would be bass heavy, but...

Corsair Obsidian 700D Full-Tower Case Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Corsair Obsidian 700D Full-Tower Case

Corsair is a widely known brand in the market thanks to its memory kits. However, since 2009, Corsair started entering new grounds like CPU cooling and PC cases. Those actions resulted in a very appealing Full Tower PC case; the Obsidian 800D, which won lots of awards in different countries because it presented tons of interesting features for high-end users. Of course, those features imply higher costs and therefore, the case is limited to high-end users only. In an attempt to bring a new contender and reduce prices, Corsair released the Obsidian 700D. The CC700D is quite similar to the 800D, but the side-panel window has been removed along with the hot-swappable drives bays, shaving $15 from the final price. Benchmark Reviews tests the Corsair Obsidian 700D Full-Tower Case to check if those removed features haven't diminished functionality and overall performance, and we'll see if it's worth saving $15 and get the 700D against the 800D.

Thermaltake Mobile Fan 12 USB Desktop Fan Review
Tweaknews posted a review on the Thermaltake Mobile Fan 12 USB Desktop Fan

Thermaltake's Mobile Fan 12 seems to be a product in search of a purpose, from my perspective anyway. It's actually quite well done and functions as it should, but I just don't see the need for it, and I imagine it will wreak havoc with a laptop battery's charge.

Sony PRS-600 Reader Touch Edition Review
Kitguru posted a review on the Sony PRS-600 Reader Touch Edition

Apple’s iPad has dominated the press this year, with incredible sales figures verifying that there is a huge market for easy to use, portable devices. I will hold my hand up and say I use an iPad regularly, from reading the Times newspaper every morning to playing with latest games and applications on the iTunes Store.

As with any technological gadget is it only after months of use that you begin to really get to grips with the strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately I have found one rather major weakness and that is when I want to read books. It is not that the applications are poor, or that the device is slow – it just hurts my eyes after 30 minutes of staring at text. There are however some very clever alternatives to the iPad, built specifically for reading books.
