GeForce 6100 and nForce 400 preview @ Bjorn3D

"Today nVIDIA is throwing its hat back into the integrated video market again. Last time they where in it was with the nForce 2 product line. nForce2 was aimed at the enthusiast market for the most part, this time they are aiming for corporate desktop, media center machine and what I call the inexpensive mom and pop machine."

ATI Avivo Technology Preview @ Beyond3D

"The Avivo term spans both the capture and encode technologies, covered by ATI's Theater products, as well as a new video decode, post processing and display pipeline.

Toshiba TS 921 3G phone @ TrustedReviews

"The buttons on the keypad make good use of the large area by being well spaced and have a good feel to them. The screen is large at 2.5in and has an impressive resolution of 240 x 320. The phones party trick though is that the whole screen can be swivelled round and laid flat against the keyboard. The main beneficiary of this is that it’s possible to hold the phone as you would a camera to take snaps and video with the 1.92Megapixel CCD. "

Legion Hardware - (ASUS Extreme N6600GT Silencer)

"ASUS has provided yet another very competitive, very unique GeForce 6600 GT product. The ASUS Extreme N6600GT Silencer is undoubtedly the most impressive looking GeForce 6600 GT solution on the market. Although ASUS has strictly followed the NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT reference board design, their product is far from generic. The card features a highly modified cooling setup for the GPU which is constructed from copper and aluminum."

Sintek 500 Watt Premium SLI Ready Computer Power Supply Review @ Tweaknews.net

"Well, there you have it. It certainly appears that SinTek has brought a real winner to the PSU market. The 500 SLI has great looks, a superior feature set and, most importantly, outstanding stability. I've tested a number of power supplies, and I haven't seen one yet that was more stable than this SinTek offering. Availability is quite good, but you better have deep pockets. With a retail cost of around 160 USD ($190 for the 600W model), this is a very expensive 500W power supply."

Ahanix D.Vine Home Theater case at bit-tech

"All in all, this is a nice looking case, no doubt about it. On one side, it is large enough to take full sized components, is stylish and of a very high build quality. However, the pretty awful PSU and the lack of front panel connectors, as well as shortcomings internally, really let it down."

MSI RX700PRO-TD128E Video Card review @ Xtreme Resources

"While the release of new high end cards may have shaken the top-end market a little bit, the battle in the mainstream market still rages with the X700 series from ATi and the 6600 series from nVidia. There are many models featuring those cores, with considerable price differences between each other, yet all can be considered mainstream cards as they do not get overly expensive, neither are too weak for 3D performance. Today I have a MSI RX700PRO-TD128E PCI-E card which may seem a little too old since it is featuring ‘only’ 128MB of memory, yet we will see if the size of the memory makes a real difference in today’s applications."

"Evercool continues to release many various cooling products for our system needs. The Nighthawk looks similar to the Jetart VGA cooler. The Neon Crab might come in handy for those toasty hot memory sticks."

"Hoaxware Analysis" R520 benchmarked?, but by who? @ DriverHeaven

""Currently im under NDA so I can not post benchmark results regarding ATI's forthcoming R520 board, but after reading an article today over at HardwareAnalysis I feel its worthwhile giving my views on this. Hardwareanalysis have been snubbed by ATI and claim to have some results running with the R520 (X1800) which he states have been ran in conjunction with a board partner..."

HEXUS.reviews :: 3-way i955x motherboard shootout

"What makes a good i955X motherboard? From what we've seen in this review, it's a combination adding a number of useful discrete features to boost a i955X-equipped motherboard to deluxe standard. All three motherboards here carry additional SATA support from Silicon Image, FireWire800 connectivity, and in the case of the ABIT AW8-MAX and Gigabyte Royal boards, dual PCIe Gigabit LAN ASICs from Broadcom. Both also add in enthusiast-specific features, with ABIT opting for heatpipe northbridge cooling and Gigabyte running with a potential 8-phase power supply."

Gigabyte 6600GT Silent Pipe Review @ Tech-Hounds.com

"Not everyone can buy or want to use the faster GeForce 6800 series. For them, the GeForce 6600GT is the way to go. Gigabyte sent us a sample of their NX66T128VP - the GeForce 6600GT with Zalman cooling. Naturally, we put this graphic card to the test and discover not only does it offer the same features of the reference GeForce 6600GT, but runs silent and runs faster! If you're looking for a graphics card to built your SFF PC, this card is defnitely worth looking at!"

Logitech Harmony 880 Review @ Designtechnica

"No matter how many times I think I’ve found the cure to my out-of-control remotes, I always end up disappointed. Much as I’d like to get one clicker to handle everything, I’ve never quite been able to whittle down my infrared fiddlesticks to a single magic wand. So it was with some degree of skepticism that I tackled the Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote from Logitech."

Plextor PX-740A 16x DVD±RW @ CDRLabs

"The PX-740A didn't disappoint when it came to writing DVD's. Thanks to its 16x DVD+R and DVD-R writing speeds, it took the drive about 6 minutes to burn an entire 4.7GB DVD. This level of performance carried over to our rewriting tests where Plextor's new drive turned in some very good times with both DVD+RW and DVD-RW media. Writing to DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL media wasn't a problem for the PX-740A either. While the drive's 4x DVD-R DL writing speed put it at a disadvantage in some of our tests, it made up for it by burning an entire DVD+R DL disc in a little more than 15 minutes."
