Kingwin EL-35EU-SBL Elite USB 2.0 and eSATA Drive Enclosure :: Posted on 07.23.08
Kingwin's EL-35EU-SBL Elite USB 2.0 and eSATA drive enclosure is a sharp looking product that could simply use some better software. If you want an eSATA drive enclosure and only need basic back up capabilities, already have back up software, or don't intend to use the back up capabilities, I could recommend this enclosure. - The Review
Thermaltake Armor+ VH6000BWS Full Tower Chassis :: Posted on 07.22.08
The Thermaltake Armor+ VH6000BWS full tower chassis will not frustrate, and will not disappoint. The design of the case is slick and attractive, but doesn't go over the top. The simple external styling is complemented by a spacious, well laid out interior that will show through the large side panel window when fully assembled. - The Review
ECS GF8200A Black Series GeForce 8200 Motherboard :: Posted on 07.16.08
The BIOS might not offer the most exhaustive set of tweaking options, but you do get more than you might expect. Couple the overclocking potential with onboard reset and power buttons, as well as other desirable features for desktop and HTPC usage, and the GF8200A definitely has an appeal that can cover a wide array of users. - The Review

Cooler Master Hyper Z600 CPU Cooler :: Posted on 07.23.08
Most users are irritated with noise that their computer makes. Therefore, we can find on the market numerous “silent” solutions that will solve that particular problem. Yet, there is always “BUT”. With summer heats on the way it is just impossible to cool your processor with passive cooler. But, Cooler Master has a solution even to this problem. - insidehw.com

ZOTAC 9600 GSO 384MB Graphics Card :: Posted on 07.23.08
The 9600 GSO has been out for a while now, but we haven’t really seen many of them around. The first one we saw was from Palit and carried with it a large 768MB of memory with quite a hefty overclock to boot. At the same time, it did have some issues in our test bed. While we loved the card, we probably didn’t really get to have as close a look as we normally would. - tweaktown.com
Razer Mako 2.1 THX Certified Multimedia System :: Posted on 07.23.08
Razer and THX have teamed up together to design the Razer Mako 2.1 THX Certified Multimedia System. This sound system offers OmniDirectional speakers which fill the entire room with surround sound. The Mako comes equipped with an all-in-one touch sensitive control pod which allows you have the controls right at your fingertips. The control pod also provides 3.5mm headphone jack for quiet listening and a 3.5mm auxiliary input jack for those looking to hookup their iPod or MP3 player. This system certainly beats others out there in sound quality, even those Bose MP3 player systems you might have. - thinkcomputers.org
What if Gaming Went to a Hosted, Subscription Model? :: Posted on 07.23.08
I can probably cover the problems with one long sentence. Each console has unique advantages and disadvantages but no one game plays on all of them (and you often have to buy different versions of the game for each anyway). While PC Games have to deal with a missive diversity of hardware and operating systems with the result being that they typically aren't as reliable as they need to be and fall well short of cutting edged performance. This increases substantially the cost of developing a new game and reduces the value of that game to us because if we don't have the right platform we won't buy it, and if it sucks on the platform we have we'll likely not buy another. - digitaltrends.com
Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme Cooler :: Posted on 07.23.08
So what does it take to beat the Thermalright Ultra-120 when it comes to all out performance? Well an improved Ultra-120 in this case it is called the Ultra-120 Extreme. So in order to beat the best you have to make it better. Now I think this is Thermalright thinking and we are here today to see if this is true. Will the two extra heat pipes that were added to the original make enough of a difference to dethrone the king? We will take time to put the new cooler through some tests and see what happens. - pro-clockers.com
Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro Webcam :: Posted on 07.22.08
Logitech is a company that should be well known to the readers of ASE Labs. The companies specializes in computer peripherals which include their line of mice and keyboards all the way to webcams. The focus of the review is the newest webcam from Logitech, the Quickcam Vision Pro which is billed to be Mac ready with ease. In reality, it works on every operating system. - aselabs.com
Thermaltake Armor MX Mid-Tower Computer Case :: Posted on 07.22.08
Not everyone has the need or desire for a full tower chassis, so Thermaltake took many of the features of the popular Armor case and compressed it all into a very pleasing mid-tower offering. The Armor MX has a lot in common with its big brother including a massive intake fan on the side panel for cooling, ample room for hardware, and solid construction. - tweaknews.net
Griffin Wave iPhone Case :: Posted on 07.22.08
It has been a while since the original iPhone was released and still there are products coming out for it. As far as cases go I've seen quite a few. It seemed that they were either really bulky, but provided good protection or very stylish and provided little protection. Well the Wave case from Griffin seems to provide good protection, while still looking good. - thinkcomputers.org
Palit Geforce 9600 GSO Sonic 768MB Video Card :: Posted on 07.22.08
The GSO chip has only 192bit memory interface bus compared to the 9600GT, but has more stream processors than the 9600GT, 96 of them instead of 64. These 2 differences can be saw in different 3d applications. Usually, if the memory bus has less bits, it has some problems when the applications are ran with AA on, and work pretty good with the AA off, but we will see this in detail, in the test section of the review. - mikhailtech.com
