"We have always known Sunbeam for making some really visually appealing cases. The Sunbeam Transformer case is one of my favorite cases of all time. One thing that is great about Sunbeam cases is that they usually have a wide variety of features, but still remain affordable. Today we will be looking at the Automation, which is a very stylish case that features an aluminum chassis design. Let's see if this is the case for you."

"Last year at CES, we saw OCZ Technology's first bid to the mouse market with their Equalizer gaming mouse. The Equalizer had all the makings of a good mouse—on-the-fly DPI switching, back and forward buttons, a nice rubber feel, even two sizes. Today we have for review OCZ's next try at a gaming mouse, the Dominatrix (I know, right?)."

"Cases and more cases, if you look at the market you will find various cases from small to big towers and even HTPC cases, but the queston is how are you supposed to know which is right for you. Thermaltake is a big case manufacturers and have supplied the market with reliable and high quality cases for a longer period now, we are going to take a look at their V9 case today that seems to be a normal sized miditower case but with the extra twist to it."

"But in the meantime for the enthusiast we have DDR3 that is topping 2000MHz at 1.8 volts. To me and many people that are gamers and overclockers is the way to go. Speed, power and the fun factor is just too much to not get excited about. Today we have OCZ's SLI Edition of 2000MHz DDR3. Matched with a good 790i motherboard like the EVGA Ultra and some dual Nvidia video cards has the making of being one hell of a rig."

"In the graph above, you can see that there is quite a considerable temperature knocked off the card. The Turbo Module also makes quite a bit of difference by increasing the air flow through the metal cooler the card decreases rapidly in temperatures again to nearly a 40 degree drop in temperature at some points."

"iStarUSA has a new dock to add to their large stable of HDD docks, rackmount chassis, and other enclosures. The xAGE-902 Dual HDD Docking Station features a dual HDD design and no-nonsense looks. Look and see why iStarUSA's latest offering may be your next HDD docking solution."

"Looking to boost the performance of your computer? Join Chris S as we take a look at the Intel E7200 2.53GHz Processor. Part of the Core 2 Duo lineup, we know that this processor offers a punch. Now we are left wondering is the bang worth the buck?"

"Today we are releasing the third review in our Core i7 series which focuses on the features and performance of the Intel Core i7-920. The Core i7-920 is considered to be the processor for the mainstream consumer primarily because of its price to performance ratio. The i7-920 doesn't have the unlocked multipliers that its more mature sibling does, but it is still a quite capable chip with its 2.66 GHz factory clock. We intend to share all of our findings and hope after reading this review you will have a much better understanding of the Core i7 family in general and the i7-920 in specific. We also plan to go into as complete of a discussion as possible on everything you can do to enhance capabilities this processor brings to the table. Unfortunately we don't have a QX9770, Intel's previous "King of the Hill", to compare the i7-920 to; but we should note that in all the test results we've seen the i7-920 (model BX80601920) outp! erforms the QX9770 in all processor dependant tasks. So the only true competition for the i7-920 are the other members of the Core i7 family which we will be testing for comparison purposes."

"As the largest single drive in its class, the Seagate Barracuda 1.5 Terabyte 7200.11 hard drive offers performance equal to or greater than the Seagate 1TB drive. It only falls short in the access time portion of the benchmarking. With that being said, will you notice the difference in real life computing between it and the smaller 1 TB drive? No. It is slower than some of the comparison drives but the average read speeds are significantly higher across the board than the traditional hard drive comparisons. The SSD was included to show what the future might bring once the technology really starts to mature."

"Unlike any other offerings weve seen from Antec the Skeleton is unique in every way. The Skeleton utilises a completely open air design, radically different from a traditional case. Antec has created something more akin to a test bench, attempting to bring the concept to a more mainstream audience. Hopefully the innovative Skeleton can live up to Antecs reputation and prove to be a viable option for enthusiasts and overclockers."

"The Thermaltake BlacX SE hard drive dock provides a convenient way to access 3.5 inch and 2.5 inch SATA drives without installing them in a computer, or in an external drive enclosure. You can swap out drives quickly and easily, and while the speed isn't what you might want for frequent, large transfers, it is quite good for USB 2.0."

"The growing demand of PC users for high-end products and outstanding performance has initiated Lian Li to declare a new series of Power Supply Units (PSU) entitled “MAXIMA Force”. Lian Li is well known for its top notch computer cases, but what do we know about their power supplies. Read on and we find out together."

"A while ago, having a webcam was considered a luxury; nowadays, with VoIP technology and the instant messenger boom, the peripheral ceased to be considered superfluous and became almost essential in this world of social networking, online dating and virtual meetings. Gone is the time of sphere-shaped webcams that blurred the user's face – now the market has some pretty advanced choices, like the top tier option from Logitech, the QuickCam Pro 9000. Among its several advanced features, it captures high-definition video and compensates for poor lightning. Let's first describe the product and then proceed to our test."

"Retailing for about $170 CDN ($170 USD, £90 GBP), the MSI K9A2 Platinum motherboard features four PCI Express x16 slots for multiple videocards, some nice overclocker friendly BIOS options and the regular host of integrated goodies. The MSI K9A2 Platinum is built on AMDs venerable 790FX and SB600 chipsets, which incorporate Hypertransport 3.0 and bus speeds of up to 2600MHz. The board accomodates all socket AM2/AM2+ AMD Athlon64/Sempron/Phenom CPUs and inexpensive DDR2 RAM."

"AMD had a display set up for the media that showed overclocking performance that included air cooling, TEC/Water Cooling, Phase Change Cooling, and lastly liquid nitrogen cooling for the top end. The overclocking performance ranged from just under 4GHz to over 6GHz on the LN2 system..."

"Storage, you can never have enough of it. With everything going HD file sizes are getting larger, which means you need a larger storage capacity to hold all your movies, music, and photos. I remember when I thought 100GB was a lot of space, now it seems like 500GB is the standard now. Seagate has recently revamped their FreeAgent line of external hard drives. They were nice enough to send us the new FreeAgent Desk 1TB external drive. Let's take a look..."

"This is one of those few times when you'll hear me say it: Get this product! Though it requires a spot of its very own in the room, and tends to be quite on the heavy side, this case manages to move a LOT of air in near silence (if the sound of air moving doesn't bother you)"

"In the beginning of this year when nVidia was promoting their ESA (Enthusiast System Architecture) technology they sent to selected media a Thermaltake Armor+ ESA case, a Thermaltake BigWater 780e water cooler and a Topower TOP-1100P10 power supply, and that is how we got the product we are reviewing. This power supply, however, never reached the market, but it is basically a Tagan ITZ1100 power supply without ESA support, so on this review we will be also indirectly evaluating this model from Tagan."

"One of the greatest things about fabrication processes is that they can be shrunk. Assuming that your architecture is forward-thinking enough, and it navigates issues with power plane-mapping and transistor leakage and all that, you can take your design, make it smaller, run it faster, and use less power. ATI has reaped great successes going from 65nm to 55nm, and NVIDIA is going the same way with their G92 parts. This process will take their 8800 GT, an excellent performer at the time of its release, rename it 9800 GT, and reap away. I mean, that would be the way to do it if you wanted to make any sense whatsoever. Because this is a regular ol' 65nm part."

"All in all, the BlacX is a fine piece of hardware. Solid construction, hot –swap capability, and good looks go a long way. Installation is a straight forward affair, with no surprises or hiccups. I was impressed by the speed over USB, though your mileage may vary."

"Given the HAF 932's name, it's no surprise to find that the chassis ships with a plethora of fans, with three huge 230mm fans with a rotation speed of 700 RPM at the front, side and top of the case, coupled with a smaller 140mm fan to exhaust from the rear of the chassis. Even with all of this in place there's still room for expansion, with the ability to add in a 120mm fan alongside the side and top fans, which can indeed be replaced entirely in lieu of four and three 120mm fans respectively."

"Asus has always been one of the computer industry's leading innovators, being the first to field many new ideas and support new platforms. The introduction of Core i7 is no exception. Asus had initial offerings of X58 Core i7 motherboards in production before Core i7 even made market. Their early jump on the socket 1366 Core i7 platform shows heavily in the Asus P6T Deluxe. No features were overlooked, nothing was skimped on, and they fielded a fully functional, feature rich board capable of driving SLI and Crossfire on demand so that you don't have to be afraid that better motherboards will come out later. They might come out with other motherboards, but we seriously doubt any will come out better or stronger than the Asus P6T Deluxe. We were lucky enough to get an Asus P6T Deluxe early and put it through extensive testing. We've run this board for several weeks on a daily basis, had so many GPU's and combinations of GPU's on the board that it makes our heads spin thinking about it. Every piece of hardware we've connected to this board, and every feature we were able to test has worked like it would work on a well proven, well tested veteran board. That, in itself, makes the P6T Deluxe an excellent choice for early adopters."

"There is not a single game in this performance preview that is unplayable at either maximum or close to maximum settings. Something that can be appreciated after the Crysis bomb was dropped and was found to be all but unplayable with any real quality if you wanted a decent FPS. So where on the price ladder do the latest cards fall? A valid question when your hard earned dollars are at stake. Well, with a quick search on Newegg I found that the HD4870 512MB could be had for as little as $210 while the 1GB version ran as low as $265, both solidly in the middle and lower end of the range. For the boys in green the GTX260/216 core can be had for as little as $229, while the lowest price on a factory overclocked card came in at $239, $25 cheaper than the 1GB HD4870. At least in this game and hardware comparison you have to give the Nvidia camp the win. The company is now competing on price as well as performance and seem to be on the winning side of the fence this go around. The margin is slim at times but higher performance with a decent price will always come out on top for the price conscious buyer, that being most of us!"

"Crucial have always been one of the more popular high-end memory manufacturers, with their Crucial Ballistix kits being an overclockers favourite. However, Crucial do another kit, known as the Ballistix Tracer sporting black heatspreaders and fancy LED lighting. Let's see if they're as good as we hope."

"The V8 from Cooler Master is a very unique looking cooler that performs quite well. In the cooler world today it is getting harder to tell one tower cooler from another. This is not the case with the V8. With its crazy heatpipe bends and the fan shroud it makes the cooler stand out. Combined with the fact it really can perform, to me this makes the V8 a very attractive cooler..."
