iCute Acrylic Stand Review @ GideonTech
"We have a pretty nifty item for review today. Like most people, a computer can be set up just about anywhere. On tables, floors and even carpet. Instead of placing them directly on the ground, put them on one of these acrylic stands we are reviewing today from iCute."

Altec Lansing XA3021 Speaker Review @ FastLaneHW
"Altec Lansing has been making quality speakers for longer than most of us have been around. Today we'll be taking a look at one of their newer offerings, the XA3021 2.1 speaker set for video gaming and TV audio. These speakers are not designed for computer use, and while they can be used on computer systems, that's not their intended use. These speakers are for your game console (works with PS2, XBOX, and GameCube systems, among others), DVD player, TV set, or pretty much anything else that uses two standard RCA inputs."

Thermaltake Silent Boost Cooler Review @ OCC
"It's surprising that a heatsink as silent as it is can almost compare the SLK-800 with a fan on it that is as loud as a jet plane. Thermaltake has done an extremely good job on designing this heatsink. They live up their statements as this heatsink is indeed high performance and silent."

DangerDen Maze 4 GPU Block review @ Utilization
"This is the second Maze 4 review we bring to your at Utilization.co.uk, but this time we will be taking a look at the Maze 4 GPU block brought to us by DangerDen. I was looking forward to receiving this new block as i got a good improvement with the Maze 4 CPU Block I reviewed over the Maze 3 I previously had, and this Maze 4 based GPU block has the same design as the Maze 4 CPU block, only scaled down. We will see this later on in the review when i open the block up. I would also like to point out that in this review of the block we will not be able to take exact temperature measurements of the cards core, so I've done the next best thing and attached the temperature probe on my Hardcano to the heatsink mounted on the back of the video cards chipset, this should give us an impression of how much the temperature decreases with the new block. This is, however, not a very accurate indication of the how well the block performs, its just to give us a decent idea, and ruff capabilities. First of all, lets take a look at the specification of the new block, taken from the DangerDen main website."

Cooler Master ATC-600 Case @ Viper Lair
"The risks taken run the gamut: a desktop design in a world that prefers towers; an internal configuration that does not take the industry standard ATX form-factor, but opts instead for the OEM slice of the pie, the Micro-ATX form-factor; design that bucks the trends of the very demographic it appeals to, the desktop-power user."

D-Tek Flowmaster XT @ MHW
"Following the instructions I started my installation by mounting the Pro Core radiator. This probably would have been a good time to rinse out the radiator and check for sediment. At the time, though, I didn't think of this step. It turned out I got lucky: The Pro Core radiator appears to have been flushed prior to being sent out."

XPCases X-Superalien ATX Case @ Viper Lair
"The lower cover (opened by simply pulling on the tab on the bottom) reveals the two front 80mm intake fans, this allows for easy access to replace or sight check for proper operation. Both of these fans have the "Blue Quad LEDs", they are lacking a filter, but with this panel that would be easily enough installed."

VIA PT800 Chipset review @ Hexus
"VIA Technologies has always been a bit player in the P4 market, according to most observers who follow the trials and tribulations of chipset manufacturing companies. We've no doubt that it intended to dominate the S478 platform in much the same way it had monopolised the SoA market with its KT266A / KT333 chipsets, but Intel's refusal to grant the Taiwanese outfit a proper production license always hindered VIA's inexorable march to P4 chipset dominance, at least that's what VIA would say. Perhaps the ill feeling between the two chipset giants was borne from VIA's disregard for Intel when the former launched a PC133 memory-based chipset for the Pentium III CPU, all without Intel's official rubber-stamped approval."

Vantec - Vibration Dampening Kits @ SystemCooling
"The growing interests in quiet running computers have led to an ever increasing demand for products that would help achieve the goal of “Quiet Computing”. Now as we have said many times, “what one person perceives as quiet, another might consider noisy”, thus we must look at where the noise comes from, if we are to understand and wisely spend our money on products that will help."

ATi AIW Radeon 9800 Pro @ NordicHW
"Time for a different type of videocard preview here at NordicHardware. We'll be looking at the AIW 9800 Pro from ATi. As we've already covered the 3D aspects of the 9800 Pro boards in numerous articles by now (look in our archives) and this board is no different we'll solely concentrate on the multimedia features of this board. The only performance tests we'll be doing is some overclocking."

BIOSTAR iDEQ 200s SFF Review @ OCAddiction
"Small form factor PCs have always been the center of attention in every gamer's mind. They are small and portable, strong and sturdy, have got various ports conveniently placed in the front of the box, and generally still maintain a striking appearance if not outright kickass. But there's also another group of people that I can think of which SFF PCs would be perfect for; college students. People who have to transport their computers from home to school, up x flights of stairs, and then find a place to station their box in an already cramped dorm room or apartment. When a SFF PC is paired with an LCD screen, you've got nearly the portability of a laptop, but the performance of a true desktop."

Theme Screws mod @ MetkuMods
"As you may have quessed from the name of this little project we are going to focus on screws this time. For some time ago I noticed a nice case project that combined thumb screws and dice and decided to see how easy it is to make them and does this technique offer even more possibilities."

SilverStone SST-ST360 Power Supply Review @ MODTHEBOX
"Due to the nature of personal PC's and industry standards, there are many components located inside a computer that do not evolve drastically. The most important and often overlooked is typically the PSU or Power Supply. The power supply is one of the key items inside a computer and at the same time can be the most limiting. Many computer modifications are thwarted due to lack of available current from an under powered PSU. SilverStone Technology based out of Ontario, California is relative newcomer to the consumer computer market specializing in unique ID and mechanical design for all kinds of aluminum alloy products. The company has recently released a series of products based on PC cases, Medical Appliances, Power Supplies and other accessories. Today in the MTB Labs, we will be evaluating the new SilverStone SST-ST360 Power Supply. A product that features a 120mm fan as a high efficiency power solution."
