Zalman ZM-WB1 @ Nexus Hardware
"Zalman has been a very popular producer of enthusiast computer cooling goods since their first introduction in 1999. Their so called "flower" line of both passive and active heatsinks have received nearly unanimous praise. Furthermore, their passive GPU heatpipe powered heatsinks have produced stellar results. Today we have their first water-cooling product, the ZM-WB1."

OCZ Gladiator 3 Heatsink Review @ Furioustech
"OCZ has a heatsink that won’t break your bank book, yet it does a great job. The Gladiator 3, you can spend a lot more money, if you are not a rabid overclocker then this is a heatsink you need to look at. Check out the Gladiator 3. I did an I was pleasantly surprised, great performance and priced right."

PCToys Cooler Master AERO 7+ Review @ XtReMoDs
"The Heat sink and CPU fan that you choose to use in your computer is a lot of things, it is your main protection against overheating, it determines what percentage you can overclock by, and chances are its the loudest component of your system. When choosing an HSF (Heat Sink & Fan), it's good to find out what's on the market, and decide exactly what type of HSF you're looking for before buying. During the course of this review, we will be taking a look at the AERO 7+, which is one HSF option produced by Cooler Master, generously provided by PCToys."

Altec Lansing VS4121 2.1 Speaker System Review @ Modsynergy
"Altec Lansing has made quality sound systems for over a long number of years and they are a brand that everyone knows. I have been impressed each and every time Altec Lansing products come by. The continued commitment to quality, ease of use and packaging makes Altec Lansing stand out."

Nexus 305 Fan & Light Controller @ OCIA
"The Nexus 305 comes with 2 cold cathodes, wire extensions for each of the device connectors, and the 3.5 controller itself. It is available in both silver and black. The Directions were clear and the installation was easy. The only problem you might have would be if you have devices above and below the bay where the 305 is installed. The space could be a little tight for making connections."

Plantronics .Audio 90 stereo PC headset @ The Tech Lounge
"Plantronics has been designing headsets since before most of you reading this were born. In all likelihood, your parents have owned or at least used a Plantronics product. Neil Armstrong broadcast his historic "one small step for man" one-liner from the Moon over a set of Plantronics for crying out loud!. So, considering the expectations set forth by this well-established audio electronics giant, one might say "there is no way a simple home computer user such as myself could afford such space-aged technology". Well, you're wrong. Plantronics offers a massive array of personal audio hardware for nearly every application."

Ahanix SilentX 300W Power Supply Review @ XtReMoDs
"When you are buying a high performance PC you may not always consider getting a high performance power supply. Well, your power supply is a VERY important part of your computer. After all, the power supply is directly related to how the rest of the components in your computer will work."

Lamps Electronics CCFL Review @ GruntvillE
"The Cold Cathode Flourescent Light (CCFL). Important to modders, but sometimes considered over-reviewed. The CCFLs most important quality is brightness, color depth , boldness, and the fact that it does not generate heat. It is critical to modders that the CCFL is the deepest and boldest color available. When modders, like myself, purchase a red CCFL, we want it red NOT pink. Same with all the other CCFL colors as well. Lamps Electronics is one of the newer light manufacturers on the market, and they are listening to the modders wants and needs. So let’s see how well Lamps Electronics worked to provide us with the ultimate bright and true color CCFL."

X-Trac Pro HS Optical mousepad @ DV Hardware
"Some time ago I discovered that hard plastic mousepads were much but really much better than those crappy clothed ones that you can find for free almost everywhere. So I was a little bit sceptical when I received this X-Trac Pro HS Optical mousepad from Dex Systems, because at first sight it looked a lot like a crappy clothed mousepad."

Crucial PC3200 DDR Reviewed @ Ascully
"Crucial is a name we are all familiar with in the memory market and recently I have even noticed TV advertisements dedicated to memory upgrading. They have always had a reputation for reliability but not a reputation for overclockability. As such, Crucial are practically ignored by the enthusiast market who usually opt for Kingston or Corsair branded strips. This is Crucial's first foray into PC3200 DDR RAM. PC3200 DDR is essentially RAM that will run at 400Mhz, something today's modern processors and motherboards crave. So let's take a look at how two strips of 256 meg perform."

LED Spotlights @ OCIA
"The spotlights are powered via a standard 4 pin power connector. The wire is a little stiff so anchoring them down will take some planning. I would place them in a relatively hidden position in a corner etc where the wires can be tied down with a zip tie so that they don't cause the double sided tape to fail from tension caused by the wire."
