Ozone Radon 5K Laser Gaming Mouse Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Ozone Radon 5K Laser Gaming Mouse

When gamer spends $1000 on new hardware but still uses a basic Microsoft mouse and keyboard they might be holding themselves back when it comes to their gaming experience. In order to fix this many companies have started creating peripherals specifically with the task of bringing about the best gaming experience possible. Ozone's newest addition to the fray is the Ozone Radon 5k Gaming Mouse which boasts the 5600DPI Twin Eye sensor, and a 1000Hz polling rate, all for around $70. These specs look like they could add up to a great mouse but can Ozone compete with the likes of Razer, Logitech, Steelseries, and even Microsoft? Benchmark Reviews will run the Radon 5k through its paces to see if it really is as good as it looks on paper.

Arctic Sound P311 Stereo Bluetooth Headset Review
MEGATechNews reviews a budget stereo bluetooth headset

We live in a world without wires. We connect our computers to the web with Wi-Fi and we chat on our cell phones without being bound to a landline. Why is it, then, that we continue to use wired headphones most of the time? Helping you cut the cords is the Arctic Sound P311 stereo Bluetooth headset. It rocks the sporty “behind the neck” style and it’ll support your mobile chatting needs too. Or does it?

Imation Defender F200 Biometric Flash Drive Review
ASE Labs posted a review on the Imation Defender F200 Biometric Flash Drive

There are occasions where you need to transport information of a sensitive nature while not worrying if it gets into the wrong hands. For that reason, many companies have created flash drives with a focus squarely being on security. We at ASE Labs have reviewed such products in the past, but the Imation Defender F200 Biometric Flash Drive is the first one we have seen that forgoes using traditional password encryption. Instead, it uses a fingerprint scanner to protect your data.

techPowerUp posted a review on the ASUS GeForce GTX 580 1.5 GB

Last week NVIDIA released their new flagship graphics card, the GeForce GTX 580. Today we have on our testbench the ASUS ENGTX580 which is an almost full implementation of the reference design. The only exception is that the clock speed has been slightly increased - at no price premium.

i-Mego Earth Series Headphones Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the i-Mego Earth Series Headphones

Up for review today I’ve got the i-mego Earth Series headphones, and they’re green in both color and construction. Not only is the packaging made from recycled material but the headphones themselves are. The MSRP is under $50, so I didn’t expect them to sound amazing, but they aren’t too bad overall.

Zalman CNPS9900 MAX CPU Cooler Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Zalman CNPS9900 MAX CPU Cooler

Since Full-Tower coolers started to appear, it seems like all companies followed the trend, obviously with a strong backup thanks to the performance obtained with this kind of coolers. While many brands now only produce full-tower coolers, there are some brands like Zalman, that still try to make their personal stuff, as we've seen with the CNPS9900 series. Even if Zalman has already launched some full-tower coolers, they're still ready to offer "different" solutions to the consumers, and the CNPS9900 MAX is about to show it. This CPU cooler comes with 3 (omega shaped) heat-pipes, which Zalman claims to be equivalent to a 6-heatpipe cooler. The CNPS9900 MAX also bundles a silent 135mm blue/red LED fan and a very nice and unique design. Said enough, can the CNPS9900 MAX be cool enough to compete against superb coolers like the severally awarded Prolimatech Megahalems? Of course, Benchmark Reviews is ready to put this cooler against the competition to check cooling performance against some very popular tower coolers...

Arctic Cooling Freezer 11 LP CPU Cooler Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the Arctic Cooling Freezer 11 LP CPU Cooler

The Arctic Cooling Freezer 11 LP is an affordable aftermarket cooling solution for slim and HTPC systems. The Arctic Freezer 11 LP is only 53mm in height and can fit inside height-restricted cases with clearance as low as 70mm. A 92mm, PWM controlled, quiet fan comes pre-installed in the Freezer 11 LP, actively cooling down on a dual copper heatpipe heatsink. With Arctic Cooling's 6 year warranty, the Freezer 11 LP is the perfect combination of quality and performance at a very affordable price.

Arctic Sound P311 Bluetooth Stereo Headset Review
Vortez.co.uk posted a review on the Arctic Sound P311 Bluetooth Stereo Headset

Given the popularity of these devices, ARCTIC has decided to join the Bluetooth headset market with the ARCTIC Sound P311. Unlike popular Bluetooth headsets that are designed for single-ear applications, the ARCTIC P311 has a behind-the-neck design. As such, it can be potentially used as headphones for media playing as well as a headset for calls. Read on as we explore in greater detail this curious product.

HP Envy 14 Beats Edition Review
TechReviewSource.com posted a review on the HP Envy 14 Beats Edition

This Envy 14 is a special "Beats Edition" from HP and has a special paint job and included headphones, but it also has an Intel Core i5 CPU and has a solid design. It isn't without some issues, however, including being slightly heavy and having a short battery life.â

Flip MinoHD Pocket Camcorder (2010 Edition) Review
Futurelooks checks out the newly revised Flip MinoHD

Recording high-definition video doesn’t need to be an intimidating experience and that’s precisely the philosophy that we find behind the Flip line of pocket camcorders. It started out with Pure Digital, which was then acquired by Cisco Systems, and now we find a new generation of video recording fun. In addition to an upgraded Flip UltraHD, we also find an updated Flip MinoHD pocket camcorder in time for the 2010 holiday shopping season. The naming of the model gets a little confusing, because it’s still the Flip MinoHD, but it should not be confused with its predecessors of the same name.

Asus ML248H Designo ML Series Review
Kitguru posted a review on the Asus ML248H Designo ML Series

Kitguru has reviewed many monitors over the last year including those from industry leaders Dell and iiyama. In June we reviewed the Asus MS236H, a stylish monitor which appealed on a design level, but left us wanting in other areas. It delivered much unfulfilled potential.

Today we are looking at the follow up model, the ML248, which is a part of the Designo ML series. These models are heavily focused on eye catching design ideas and an almost ‘Apple’ ethic of keeping the appearance sleek and minimalistic.

Zalman VF3000N NVIDIA GPU Cooler Review
Modders-Inc.com has a new review on the Zalman VF3000N NVIDIA GPU Cooler

We mostly think about changing the stock cooler that comes with our new CPU but how often do you think about changing the stock cooler on your video card? If you are like me, not very often. Mostly because there are not to many options or that they just do not look good. During this review we will be looking at a cooler from Zalman that not only looks good but performs well.

Arctic Cooling Silentium T11 Case and HC01-TC HDD Cooler Review
KitGuru posted a review on the Arctic Cooling Silentium T11 Case and HC01-TC HDD Cooler

KitGuru has probably looked at more of Arctic’s products than any other brand since we started out. We can’t say that any of their products have failed to impress with many winning our most sought after awards.

Arctic are very well known for their top-notch cooling products but are much less well known for their PC cases. Today we have Arctic’s Silentium T11 case in our labs which is aimed at the low end of the market. We’re excited to see if it follows the trend of quality product’s we’ve seen in the past months.

SilverStone Sugo SG07 Mini-ITX PC Case Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the SilverStone Sugo SG07 Mini-ITX PC Case

SilverStone has crafted a Mini-ITX, small form factor chassis that will fit the largest video cards available while offering a hefty power-supply to support just about anything you can fit inside. Have a look at our review on the SilverStone Sugo SG07 PC case to see if it passed the scrutiny of our critical eyes!

SilverStone has done a nice job with their Sugo SG07 and accomplished what they set out to do. Build a small form factor case that will house the biggest graphics cards available while having the built-in power to handle it and the rest of the system. All this comes with the quality and aesthetics that one expects from a company like SilverStone...

Zalman CNPS8000A CPU Cooler Review
OCC has published a review on the Zalman CNPS8000A CPU Cooler

Running at 3.61 GHz, the CNPS8000A managed a 56c load temperature versus the stock Intel cooler's 72c. As you can see this cooler with its 4 heat-pipe design could come in very handy in tight spaces or when used with processors that don't produce significant amounts of heat, like the Core i3.

CoolIT Vantage A.L.C Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the CoolIT Vantage A.L.C integrated water cooling solution.

Integrated water cooling systems are nothing new in the custom built PC scene but over the last two years they have gradually evolved from poor performing wannabes to bona-fide CPU cooling solutions. In this review, we take a look at the latest addition to CoolIT's stable of products: the Vantage ALC. This product is supposed to represent the culmination all the past lessons learned from past generations and integrate them into something that should compete with the best the competition has to offer.

Logitech G930 Wireless Gaming Headset Review
OCModShop posted Logitech G930 7.1 Surround Wireless Gaming Headset Review

We've reviewed a lot of gaming headphones over the years, and we've drawn a conclusion that there just aren't many good headsets for gamers. There are some really good sets for music listening, but they can cost hundreds of dollars. PC and console gamers have usually gotten the short end of the stick: a soon as you add a microphone onto a headset then they immediately have mediocre quality. Adding a microphone adds maybe a few dollars to the cost of producing the set, so why do manufactuers pair a microphone with mediocre-sounding drivers?

The aforementioned reasons made me skeptical when I came across Logitech's new G930 Wireless 7.1 Surround Gaming Headset. Not only does Logitech feel confident that the G930 is better than other PC headsets, but they've added just about every technology you could want into the product. It has a retractable auto-muting noise-cancelling microphone, wireless digital communications, programmable buttons, onboard controls, memory foam pads, voice-morphing software, and Dolby Headphone surround sound.

That sounds like a very ambitious promise, indeed.

Rbmods posted a review on the Thermaltake JING CPU Cooler

Can you remember the legendary coolers like the Sonic Tower or Big Typhoon, for example? I'm sure your answer is yes because these products were truly ruling the world of cooling at the time.
Now it's time for another revolution! Thermaltake has taken a new step and we are going to check how big that step is and whether it was focused in the right direction. ing is the latest newcomer in the Thermaltake portfolio .

Choiix Boom Boom Slim Travel Speaker Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Choiix Boom Boom Slim Travel Speaker

When you are purchasing a laptop for most people speakers are really not their first concern and they really shouldn’t be. I’ve owned quite a few different laptops over the past couple of years and the speakers have been pretty bad on all of them. The speakers on netbooks are even worse. Choiix knows this and has come out with a cool little product to give your speakers a little boost. It is the Boom Boom Slim Travel Speaker. This speaker is very small and features 4 high sensitive drivers. Let’s see if it is the perfect speaker for your laptop.

Fenrir's EVOlution Review
InsideHW.com has reviewed Titan Fenrir EVO CPU cooler

Although its price/performance ratio made the original Titan Fenrir a very good CPU cooler, many fans of transparent side panels, enclosure neons and component modification have had negative remarks on its looks. The main issue was the colour of the cooling body, which is “generic” grey, which compelled the visually dissatisfied modders to paint the coolers and thus lose their warranties. Noise (or lack thereof) was another selling point of this cooler, but those who wished for absolute silence expected it to perform even better in this regard, which, again, left the most demanding of users dissatisfied. In order to amend this situation, the boys at Titan decided to present a new variant of this popular model, and so the model Fenrir EVO was created…
