The I-Rocks RF-6572 is a very simple, yet effective wireless keyboard and mouse combo. Vista recognized both devices quickly, and used them without any additional software or problems. With a price of about $40, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this combo to anyone looking for a simple wireless keyboard and mouse setup. - The Review
In terms of single GPU performance, the Radeon HD4870 set the bar pretty high, and the Sapphire Toxic Radeon HD4870 512MB graphics card had its work cut out for it to do much better. With a factory overclock of 30MHz on the GPU and 100MHz on the memory, the Toxic version generally did perform better, but not always by much. - The Review
Jazz Elite HDV-188 5MP HD Video Camera :: Posted on 10.03.08
The bottom line on the Jazz Elite HDV-188 5MP HD video camera is that it is a cool little gadget that is fun to use. It takes good photos and makes decent videos, but the conditions seem to have to be just right. It required a bit of experimentation to master the settings and to learn the limitations of the device, but I am generally happy with it. - The Review
BFG Tech LS-680 680W Power Supply :: Posted on 09.24.08
The BFG Tech line of power supplies consists of several models that offer a variety of interesting features and power ratings from 550W to 1000W. In this review we will be taking a look at the LS-680, a 680 Watt unit that features desirable items such as quad 12V rails, four PCI Express graphics card connections, and a typical efficiency of 85%. - The Review
Rosewill RX630-S-B Xtreme Series 630W Power Supply :: Posted on 09.23.08
Before the review started I didn't know what to expect from for the Rosewill RX630-S-B. The published features and specifications were strong, and from what I had read elsewhere on the web the general opinion seemed positive. I just wasn't sure that a Rosewill power supply priced under $90 was really going to impress. - The Review
The Radeon HD4850 chipset was launched to fill a role in the middle of the graphics card market. The Sapphire Toxic Radeon HD4850 512MB graphics card stands out in this crowd of 'average' cards by offering a factory overclocked GPU and memory, as well as a cooling upgrade that keeps it cool and quiet. - The Review

Thermaltake Toughpower 850 Watt ESA Power Supply :: Posted on 10.13.08
Starting with the Thermaltake Toughpower 850 ESA Power supply, we'll be bringing you a series of reviews based on ESA architecture to see how far this emerging technology has evolved. We'll be reviewing the Toughpower 850 ESA power supply, Thermaltake Armor ESA Chassis, and the Thermaltake Bigwater 850I water cooling kit (ESA compatible). We'll be hooking it all together on an EVGA 790i Nvidia based SLI motherboard which will be running some OCZ DDR3 2000 Nvidia Edition SLI compatible RAM and a couple of sweet GTX-260's running in SLI. - bjorn3d.com
ASUS P6T Deluxe X58 Express Motherboard :: Posted on 10.13.08
The early readiness of the ASUS P6T Deluxe X58 Express motherboard is proof of ASUS' technical prowess. ASUS already has full retail units of this motherboard ready for sale more than a month before the actual launch of the Intel X58 Express chipset and the Intel Core i7 processor. It is a certainty that the ASUS P6T Deluxe will be one of the few motherboards available for sale on launch date. - techarp.com
Vantec Aeroflow FX92/FX120 HDT CPU Coolers :: Posted on 10.13.08
I'd have to say that the FX92 is definitely not a heatsink to pass up; though it does manage to make itself heard when spinning up to meet the load, it's cooling performance nearly matches that of the much heavier sinks, and even an upgraded watercooling kit. That's nothing to sneeze at. So, what we now have sitting here are a pair of products - one which is great, and one that needs work. On the plus side, though - they both work well enough, are accessible enough, and cheap enough to recommend, and that's a step forward. - virtual-hideout.net
Cooler Master HAF932 Full Tower Case :: Posted on 10.13.08
The HAF932 is another case from Coolermaster that is sure to be a big hit. The case offers a look that is unique from the masses and looks to be built to the point where it can take a pounding and keep protecting your prized components. The HAF stands for High Air Flow and it definitely is that as the unit has four large fans that measure at the minimum 14 centimeters up to 23 centimeters. Things have just got cooled in the labs so lets get on with the review before I give you all the details in the introduction. - pro-clockers.com
Thermaltake Blacx Docking Station N0028USU :: Posted on 10.13.08
Every once in awhile a product comes along that makes you wonder why someone hadn't thought of it earlier. A product that makes so much sense yet is elegant in its simplicity. Today Benchmark Reviews takes a look at one such product, the Thermaltake BlacX. The BlacX is basically a very simple SATA to USB 2.0 adapter. What sets the BlacX apart from the typical cable style adapter is the docking station like design. - benchmarkreviews.com
Sapphire HD 4870 TOXIC Edition Video Card :: Posted on 10.13.08
What we have come to expect from Sapphire is that when a top tier graphics card has been released a newer and more powerful one will be on the way and branded with the Toxic name. They have done it again with the powerful HD 4870 by cranking up the numbers and by adding a heat pipe cooling system. - modders-inc.com
ASUS M3N78 Pro Motherboard :: Posted on 10.10.08
Integrated graphics on the motherboard are a bit of a joke on the Intel side of things with the NVIDIA GeForce 7050 and Intel G45 being the king of the hill on that side of the fence. Both have issues in that the GeForce 7050 is DirectX 9.0c only and the Intel chipset has issues with numerous games and performance isn’t the greatest. - motherboards.org
Tagan A+ Seenium Case :: Posted on 10.10.08
This brings us to the star of our review product, Tagan’s Seenium. This case is priced at $69.99 so it is aimed at budget/mainstream buyers. Despite its pricing, Tagan Seenium is not too shabby in terms of the expansion slots and its ability to help cool the internal components. Designed with the ability to install eight cooling fans (seven 120mm and one 80mm) and capable of accommodating up to five 5.25’’ devices and six 3.5’’ devices, this is a case with reasonable pricing but designed for enthusiasts in mind. - bjorn3d.com

QNAP produces some fantastic NAS products, as was seen in BIOS LEVEL's review of the TS-409U. QNAP's products carry huge feature lists, and have the performance to back those features.

This makes for the perfect product in the home or small office. - bioslevel.com
