GamePC have thrown up their review of ATi's Radeon X850 XT Platinum Edition! Here's a snip.

ATI is looking to correct the wrongs of last year with their new X850 XT Platinum Edition graphics card, which is currently ATI's flagship product for the gaming market. The Radeon X850 XT PE is based on ATI's new R480 graphics core, the same core which is also featured in ATI's standard Radeon X850 XT product. The "Platinum Edition" card simply kicks up the clock speeds of the core and memory a notch higher, allowing slightly better performance in the most intensive graphics scenarios.

Looking for a new TFT display? The new ViewSonic VP171b-2 8ms display could be what you're looking for according to TrustedReviews. Although the lower response time doesn't seem to make much of a difference, it is still a very good display for the money. Check out the review!

While this evaluation features BFGTech?s graphics wonder ? the 6800OC vanilla, we are going to take this opportunity and talk a bit about ATI?s newly announced X850 series. As if the market wasn?t crowded enough, ATI jumped in the market with a new series of cards that they kindly call the X850 product lineup.

OCIA.net has posted a review of some Ultra Glossy Fans.

Installation of these fans is just like any other. Use the included self-tapping case fan screws to mount the fans anywhere in your system. The obvious location would be in a window or somewhere else that is easily viewable. There is no sense in buying a nice looking fan if you can't see it.

While I've been doing XTracPads reviews ever since their inception, I hadn't done one in a while. So with me coming back around to the table, XTrac has brought some new things to the table as well. First, this pad is called the "Hybrid" because its surface is a hybrid of cloth and a hard surface. Second, this is the first XTrac pad to have a retail package. Third, Mad Dotz, (Teflon Feet) are included with the pad. With that info out of the way, let's take a look at what 14 months of R&D has produced...

Taking a break from all the talk of nVidia's nForce 4 that has been dominating many tech sites since its release, HEXUS.net take a look at a board built around ATi's AMD64/PCIe chipset - Xpress 200. Read the review, here

I have to be honest, when I first starting testing this videocard, I wasn't exactly expecting anything significant other than maybe a little higher benchmarking. What I actually encountered was an excellent performing videocard loaded with extra hardware and software, yet still has a MSRP US$199 pricetag seen associated with even the bland reference model from ATI.

The graphics card market is crowded with numerous products from both ATI and NVIDIA. We have X800SE, X800 Pro, X800 XT, and X800 XT PE from ATI and 6800LE, 6800, 6800 GT, and 6800 Ultra (not assuming that there is a 6800 Ultra Extreme in the market) from NVIDIA for users to choose from.

Arctic Cooling has made a name for themselves by providing silent and performing cooling solutions for VGA cards and AMD/Intel CPUs. Today Madshrimps takes a closer look at their NV Silencer 3 which was designed to be used with NVIDIA's Geforce FX 5900XT.

3DXtreme is extremely pleased to present our latest review. Thanks to our friends at both eVGA and ATI we are finally able to take a look two of the fastest stock AGP cards available on the market. We are not the biggest hardware review website on the internet so for us to be able to bring this type of review is only due to the generosity of the kind folks at each of the respective companies. Availability has been an issue with this latest generation of high end Video Cards, producing pieces that are able to run at blistering speeds is no doubt very difficult so understandably samples to a smaller site like us would is tough.

Big Bruin has a review of a 256MB XGI Volari V8 AGP Graphics Card:

For those shopping for a graphics card in the $100 price range, the 256MB XGI Volari V8 is an excellent alternative to anything available from nVidia and ATI. Those considering nVidia cards in the FX 5500 to FX 5700 range, or ATI cards in the 9500 to 9600 range, may be able to save a few dollars, get extra multimedia features, and/or get greater performance by opting to venture out of the mainstream.

There are numerous 6800 vanillas in the market and they all perform well for their specifications. As if the market isn?t confusing enough, Gainward introduces four Vanilla cards to enthusiasts. The difference between the four is that the higher-end 6800 Vanilla is equipped with two DVI connectors and different cooling solutions.

OCIA.net has posted a review of the Cooler Master Wave Master Case.

Cooler Master has gone one step further here and added a fan bracket for an optional top blowhole. So how can you put a blowhole in a case with no opening at the top? Simple, the I/O panel on the top of the case can be removed. This will allow for the fan bracket to be installed.

Looking for an external sound card? TrustedReviews has a review up of the Terratec Aureon 7.1 FireWire sound card that works with both PCs and Macs and offers semi pro functionallity. Check it out.

Gamers Depot have thrown up their review of ABS' latest gaming monstrosity, the Mayhem G5 - weighing in at 12.6lbs.

Achieving desktop performance in a mobile environment has always been a challenge ? namely due to the fact that today?s high-end desktop components draw considerably more power and run hotter. While many companies have tried to tackle the equation with mobile-class parts few, if any have truly succeeded in building a true desktop replacement ? to the point, mobile-class CPUs and GPUs simply aren?t as robust as actual desktop parts. To that end, ABS sought to offer a gaming laptop that would be without equal with regards to performance. In fact, performance is what the Mayhem G5 laptop is all about.

Hardware Pacers has posted a review on the Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 3100! Here's a snip:

This is a near perfect mouse and keyboard combination. The mouse is rechargeable and has tilt wheel and Fast RF technology. The keyboard and the mouse have buttons that could never be thought of being on a mouse or keyboard. There are no downsides to this combination. This combination is recommended to anyone who desires a high quality keyboard and mouse with the latest technology.

Shuttle has pushed the limits of small form factor design more than any other manufacturer, and they should. After all, they virtually invented the genre. Shuttle's pursuit of cubed perfection has led it to adopt new core logic chipsets and CPU sockets aggressively. The company has also put considerable effort into chassis design, continually refining, massaging, and tweaking its cube form factor with each new XPC model. Every once in a while, they come up with a completely new chassis, too.
