Silverstone Raven Review @ XSReviews

"Silverstone has become a multi-faceted manufacturer of computer components in recent years, with its product line up now comprising of power supplies, coolers, and a variety of peripherals. However, as the case we have in the XSR labs today proves, the firm has not abandoned the enthusiast case market so fundamental to its success. With a variety of truly innovative features and aggressive Stealth Bomber-inspired styling, the Raven is about as far away as you can get from a boring ATX reference clone."

Super Talent UltraDrive ME 120GB MLC SSD FTM28GX25H @ Benchmark Reviews

"Performance enthusiasts have been keeping notes on SSD technology for a while now, and until recently the price and performance of Solid State Drives were not within reach for casual consumers. SSD products are quickly moving mainstream, and former marketing points like power consumption is now the least impressive of all benefits a Solid State Drive delivers. The real payoff is in the practically instant response time and high-performance throughput. Capacity and stuttering were once the only problems keeping SSDs from replacing HDDs, but now it's just capacity. Quick to solve that problem, Super Talent now offers their 512GB MasterDrive RX SSD which provides capacity matched to performance."

Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz 1333MHz FSB Processor Review @ PCSTATS.com

Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz 1333MHz FSB Processor Review

"Everyone's wanted to trade up at times. Sure, you can get the 8oz steak for $15, but the 12oz steak is only $17.... Sometimes the choice can be as easy as calculating performance versus price, but other times it's worth to pay more if it will really satisfy your needs. The 3.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 CPU is a dual-core chip based on the 45nm 'Wolfdale' core that falls into the upper end of family, supplanted only by the relatively expensive Core 2 Duo E8600."

NZXT Guardian 921 Case Review @ Hi Tech Legion

"NZXT Cases have become mainstays in the builder scene, with their creative designs and innovative functionality, and the Guardian is no different. Screw less components installation, three fans for efficient airflow, front mounted peripheral and audio ports, and subtle lighting are only the start of how this case can draw attention from even the most demanding user."

Noctua NF-S12B FLX Review @ XSReviews

"Noctua are considered a top brand when it comes to the cooling department. Their unique colour scheme and product naming set them apart from rivalling companies and over time Noctua products have been granted some of the highest accolades out there. The NF-S12 fan was an instant success and further showcased Noctua’s ability in this market. Recently this particular fan has been updated with two new versions: the NF-S12B FLX and ULN. Today, we take a look at the FLX version which features high versatility; one can only hope it is half as good as its predecessor."

OCZ Behemoth Laser Gaming Mouse @ Tech-Reviews.co.uk

"Quite recently OCZ, who are manufacturers praised for their power supplies and memory, have decided to expand their product line into the peripheral market. Being such a large market, to truly succeed a product has to stand out from the crowd and be unique. One attempt at this by OCZ technology is the Behemoth Laser Gaming Mouse. Boasting a double laser capable of DPI’s ranging from 100 to 3200, onboard memory and an ergonomic design, this mouse certainly sounds good on paper. Is it though?"

Lian Li XB-01 Review @ XSReviews

"The consoles versus PC wars have been ongoing for longer than most fan boys can remember, but one of the arguments that has almost always been in the PC camp's favour is that their gaming platform of choice can be upgraded however you want. Sure consoles can be modded or tweaked, but it normally takes someone who really knows what they're doing to accomplish either of these feats. Now however, this argument has been turned somewhat on it's head, with Lian Li releasing a custom case for the Xbox 360; and it looks nothing like the original. "

NZXT ZERO 2 Crafted Series PC Case @ TestFreaks

"Today for review I’ve got the NZXT Zero 2 Crafted Series PC Case. The Zero 2 is a rather large case, but being large it’s got a lot of room inside for all our your components. This case comes with three fans built-in for good cooling and the ability to add six more for even more cooling power to keep those high end system cool. The Zero 2 is a screwless design so for most of the installation you won’t need tool making the installation fairly easy and painless."

Mastering Open Office -50 Useful Tips to Get You Started @ TestFreaks

"Open Office is the unsung software for personal computer usage. It offers two very convincing reasons to download: 1.) It’s free. And 2.) It comes with 24/7 online help. People tend to shy away from the software, either because they have never heard of it, or because they have heard that it is complicated. While it is a bit more challenging to get accustomed to than the Word software which you have probably been using for most of your life, it has even more features once you learn the mastery of it."

Seventeam V-Force 650w Review @ XSReviews

"Enermax, Corsair, Coolermaster, Thermaltake; all big names in the power supply industry and are known performers. The units from these bigger brand names tend to come at a price but is that price really justified compared to other units especially when we know that many smaller companies produce OEM units for the bigger ones. For example, Seventeam - a unit of who’s we will be looking at today - are the OEM manufacturer for some of Thermaltake’s units. Introducing the Seventeam V-Force Series 650W PSU; let’s take it for a spin."

Sapphire Vapor X Review @ XSReviews

"Sapphire first introduced its graphics cards which implemented the Vapor-X coolers back in 2007 with its 3870 Atomic cards. The Vapor-X technology meant that graphics cards could be efficiently cooled and still remain silent using a liquid coolant which vaporised at the hot GPU’s IHS. Recently Sapphire has revitalised their Vapor-X video cards with the birth of the HD 4850 and 4870. Today we’ve kindly been given the 4850 to review, let’s see how it performs."

NZXT Zero 2 Case Review @ Hi Tech Legion

"The NZXT Zero 2 Crafted series is the case we’re going to review. The Zero 2 by NZXT is praised as a quiet, steel case. The design is a full ATX black steel case, with five 5.25” drive bays and two 3.5” floppy drive bays. The left side of the case has four different 120mm fan slots, two back 120mm fan slots, one top 80mm slot, one front 120mm fan slot, and the bottom has an air filter. The NZXT Zero 2 is built for giving maximum air flow for the user. When I first saw this package, it looked promising, so I think this will be a great case to review."
