Steelpad Steel Sound 5H USB Gaming Headset Review @ Tweaknews.net

"With the relative lack of sound quality and this set's incredibly high price, it would be a lie if I said you should buy them. For the price they want for this product, you could buy two or even three headsets from their competition and even have true 5.1 to boot. I am still shaking my head wondering why this product warrants this price tag. Market quality, not just a name brand."

"The VF700-Cu LED is a minor update to Zalman's excellent VF700 series of VGA coolers. With its unique 'flower' design and enthusiast slant, it is worth taking a second look."

Vantec Nexstar 3 Review @ DH

"Form and functionality collide with style in the Nexstar 3 External SATA Hard Drive Enclosure from Vantec. With its mirror finish, sleek curves and bold colors, the Vantec Nexstar 3 stands out from the crowd. The sturdy drive cage protects your hard drive while the aluminum case effectively draws away the heat, protecting your drive from overheating. The Nexstar 3 features eSATA (external Serial ATA) and USB 2.0 interfaces offering speeds up to 3Gbps or 480Mbps respectively. This flexibility allows you to use your hard drive at its full performance where eSATA is available and still have the option of using USB where it's not. The Nexstar 3 is an ideal way to store and transfer large amounts of data in an enclosure that matches your style!"

ATI Catalyst 5.12 (X1K Edition) and ULi's new M1697 chipset @ TweakTown

"It has been only three months since ULi announced its first generation PCI Express based chipsets for both the Intel Pentium 4 family and the AMD64 family. ULi has put a lot of effort, money and research into producing a new generation of chipsets that hopefully will bring them from the ranks of the budget chipset manufacturers up to the level of the full blown enthusiast system contenders to battle with ATI and its Crossfire chipsets and nVidia with its nForce 4 chipsets."

Silverstone Strider ST60F 600W PSU Review @ NGOHQ.com

"600W might seem like a lot to many people, but for the high end user there is no doubt that a good power supply is a must have. High end users often have dual graphics cards, multiple hard drives, a high end CPU, two optical drives and several fans involved in their current setup. With specs like that a 600W PSU is desirable if you want a completely stable system. The ST60F is capable of maintaining 600W of continuous power output at 50°C. The ST60F has quad +12V rails, for extreme performance and giving the Silverstone ST60F a total of 42 amps."

Legion Hardware - (X-Micro Mini DisGo)

"Clearly the Mini DisGo is designed for those people who are looking for a step up form a memory stick but who do not have the confidence to put together their own portable hard drive. As such this product would be entirely suitable and any slowness observed between higher performing products here today, would not greatly affect these peoples buying decision."

Leadtek 7800 GTX MyVIVO Extreme Review @ Bjorn3D

"Leadtek consistently releases unique cooling solutions for its NVIDIA-based video cards. Leadtek also jumped on the factory overclock bandwagon and offers several overclocked versions of its cards. Today's review focuses on the Leadtek WinFast PX7800 GTX TDH MyVIVO Extreme, which happens to feature both a custom cooling solution and a factory overclock. If you have seen the massive, heatpipe-based cooler on the 7800 GTX 512 cards, then the cooling solution on the WinFast PX7800 GTX TDH MyVIVO Extreme is nothing new to you. Leadtek's WinFast PX7800 GTX Extreme was actually the first non-Quadro card to use this cooler, as this card was out weeks before the GTX 512s hit the shelves. The cooler was first seen on NVIDIA's Quadro FX."

Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks Pro (2005) Review @ Everything USB

"Not content with the way things were, Logitech took another jab at creating a high-end webcam for laptops and ultimately deciding on replacing the QuickCam for Notebooks Pro with the QuickCam for Notebooks Pro - 2005 edition. No, it doesn't make sense to us either, but since it's boasting new Video Effects features to play around with and a 1.3MP sensor with RightLight all crammed into a smaller enclosure, we just had to put this new revision to the test. Read on to see how it fared."

Vantec 701A HDD Cooler Review @ Techgage

"Hard drive a little hot around the collar? We are looking at a great looking cooler from Vantec. It's not an enclosure, but rather straps to the side of your drive. Let's take it for a test drive."

Dreamhack 2005 show report @ bit-tech.net

"The Dremel wasn't out of Micke's hand for long. In fact, he told me he managed to smoke just four cigarettes all weekend - a testament to just how busy he was, since he normally smokes at least a pack a day! Here you can see his Dremel rig that allows him complete freedom when engraving. What you can't see is the intravenous drip in his left arm feeding him Red Bull to keep him going. On the right is a World of Warcraft Tauren."
