The Tech Report published a review on the Nile-powered Toshiba Satellite T235D notebook.

Does AMD finally have a good alternative to Intel's CULV platform, and should this 13" Toshiba notebook be on your shopping list this back-to-school season?

Foxconn NetBox-nT330i Barebone Review
Madshrimps posted a review on the Foxconn NetBox-nT330i Barebone

The NetBox-nT330i barebone from Foxconn is an interesting product for those that need a very small media center PC, which can be also used for office applications or browsing the internet; its performance varies depending on what 2.5inch HDD/SSD and DRAM you decide to use with it.

SteelSeries 7H Gaming Headset Review
KitGuru posted a review on the SteelSeries 7H Gaming Headset

Today we’re going to look at the latest addition to SteelSeries’ range, the 7H gaming headset, which is targeted at the most serious of gamers.

With the 7H, SteelSeries has used a completely different design to the popular Siberia V2 headset meaning it provides a different experience which may appeal more to different people. There are commonalities between the two, though, including the 50mm driver units and pull-out microphone.

NZXT Internal USB Expansion Module Model IU01 Review
Tweaknews posted a review on the NZXT Internal USB Expansion Module Model IU01

Frankly, when I first looked at NZXT's IU01 internal USB module I was prepared to be underwhelmed. After putting it through its paces, I now see how wrong first impressions can be. The device performed as advertised and can really be a boon to users with insufficient USB port availability and/or power hungry USB devices.

ASUS SBC-06D1S-U External Slim Blu-ray Combo Drive Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the ASUS SBC-06D1S-U External Slim Blu-ray Combo Drive

Last year we took a look at ASUS’s first external Blu-ray combo drive, the SBC-04D1S-U. It was the perfect external combo drive for a laptop or desktop and received a perfect 10 out of 10 score in our testing. ASUS has updated the SBC-04D1S-U with faster Blu-ray read speeds and a few other features. They are calling this new combo drive the SBC-06D1S-U. Let’s see if ASUS can make this drive any better than the previous drive we tested!

Desktop PC Platform - Saved By Overclocking
Benchmark Reviews posted an article on the Desktop PC Platform

The desktop hardware industry was made popular by knowledgeable members of the community willing to share their overclocking experience with others. Passionate hobbyists aligned with similar goals graciously helped eager learners to tweak hardware components until they performed like the next model in the series, but pre-tweaked enthusiast products were slowly driving down the number of people who qualify as overclockers. It's not easy watching our hobby get dumbed-down to the point where the push of a button can replace years of trial-and-error experience. At some point, the real overclockers will return to save the desktop platform.

Cooler Master V6 GT CPU Cooler Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review on the new Cooler Master V6 GT CPU Cooler.

Shaped like a bona fide V6 engine, Cooler Master's new V6 GT heatsink is aiming to knock several high end coolers off of their respective thrones. To accomplish this, the V6 GT is equipped with a pair of high speed 120mm fans and enough cooling mass to beggar most of its competitors. However, can its performance belie an asking price of under $60?

Motorola Droid 2 Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Motorola Droid 2

The Motorola Droid, is no doubt a popular phone, now we have the Droid 2 running the Android 2.2 and some beefier specs. It very much resembles the original Droid in design, and I can understand why nothing changed much as it was a good design. What changes were made were for the better, like a larger keyboard and faster CPU. I just realized that it’s been almost a year since the original Droid came out, so let’s take a look at this new version and do a little bit of comparison as well to the original.

Kingwin DM-2535U3 Dock Master Review
OCC has published a review on the Kingwin DM-2535U3 Dock Master

The Kingwin Dock Master has proven to be a very capable dock. Even though it only has a single USB 3.0 connection, being a high-bandwidth connection and backwards compatible makes it equally as versatile as docks with multiple connector types. The dock itself is solidly built and has the looks to match. Performance-wise the Dock Master is nearly on par with the internal SATA connection when connected via USB 3.0.

Evercool Hawk 1 Review
OCC has published a review on the Evercool Hawk 1

The Evercool Hawk 1 is a fairly nice cooler, but not the greatest. It did provide decent cooling results, and I did really like how the USB cable used to power the cooler was able to be stored in the underside very easily. There is almost no rubber on the cooler anywhere, which allows the laptop to rather easily slide off the top. This is somewhat concerning, but this didn't happen much.

ASUS Cine5 Speaker and Xonar D2X Sound Card Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the ASUS Cine5 Speaker and Xonar D2X Sound Card

Today we are reviewing the Asus Cine5 sound bar in combination with Asus' older Xonar D2X 7.1 channel sound card. The Cine5 is a compact speaker designed to simulate 5.1 channel sounds with just one front unit. While there are a few similar devices out there, the major advantage of the Cine5 is that it doesn't require any calibration or adjustment..

Antec Two Hundred V2 Review
Neoseeker posted a review on the Antec Two Hundred V2

Antec's Two Hundred is reborn with the Two Hundred V2, and it brings back the original case's value pricing with all-new hot-swappable 2.5" drive bays. Check out our review to see if the V2 is enough of an upgrade over Antec's original case!

With hardware constantly evolving, making some adjustments to a chassis may well be worthwhile. The original version already had many great and innovative features at the time and price point, so what new set of features will help the second version stand out? With the same retail price of $60, Antec may not have much room to play with.
