Today I will take a closer look at their new external hard drive enclosure the NexStar 3. The particular one I have is the Brilliant Red version, however it also comes in Steel Grey, Onyx Black and Midnight Blue. The NexStar3 is able to take any IDE 3?5 hard drive and connect it to a PC via a USB 2.0 port with minimal fuss. This is a great way of moving data between two PC?s or even backing up your data.

XtremeResources has on the evaluation bench today a case by a relative newcomer to the scene in 2004, NZXT based in Tapei Taiwan.Our Senior European reviewer Grace has a look at the Nemesis Elite Edition ATX Case's functionality, workmanship and worthiness as a gamers case in this ever growing niche and genre of the case market.

It?s been quite a while since we looked at an AMD processor on Driverheaven and in that time AMD have been busy enhancing their range of CPU?s. The socket 939 Athlon64?s have begun moving to the Venice core and AMD have also launched the X2 brand of Dual Core Athlon64?s so let?s kill two birds with one stone and have a look at a processor of each type. The 3800+ and the 4800+, and see how they compare to one of Intel?s latest and greatest, the 3.46 GHz P4EE.

NVIDIA TurboCache is available in the NVIDIA GeForce 6200 GPU for PCI Express desktop PCs and NVIDIA GeForce Go 6200 GPU for PCI Express notebook PCs. By allowing the graphics processing unit (GPU) to share the capacity and bandwidth of dedicated video memory and dynamically available system memory, TurboCache turbocharges performance and provides larger total graphics memory. Today we are going to take the EVGA e-GeForce 6200 TurboCache for a spin...

The product up for review today is the NU 17" 8ms response LCD Monitor. This Monitor delivers performance that could be advantageous to gamers with a response time of only 8ms; also the price tag is a very affordable $230. Other features include built in stereo speakers, low power consumption and 1280x1024 maximum resolution.

it's time for jumbo-sized corporate protection, with our review of the Symantec Security Suite.

Could it be true? An actual, honest-to-god integrated security suite that does not disappoint? Are we on drugs again? Perhaps so, but this time around they are the sweet drugs of contentment, and the secure knowledge of operating a hack-proof machine.

Don't fancy carrying a bulky wireless hub in your back pocket everywhere you go? How about this portable solution from ASUS? 3DVelocity took a look.

"Because it is a USB adapter it can be connected to a laptop or desktop computer or even a server, should one wish to do so. In theory this device should allow you to connect to the internet while you are enjoying the nice weather outside. Let?s get that theory into practice."

Yes, its yet another memory maker trying to enter the low-latency stream. A few years ago, there were quite a few memory makers, but since the introduction of low-latency TCCDs from Samsung, the market seems to have exploded with these wonders from practically every memory maker in the market.

If you're a serious gamer any extra edge in performance and ease of game play is greatly welcome. Well today we take a look at the newest mouse pad from Qpad their Gamer LowSense Mouse pad. This over sized mouse pad could give you that added extra edge you're looking for.

Because there is no new 3d chip generation available at the moment we take a look to the ATI X800 Cards, that are based on the new PCI-Express interface. Gigabyte is one step ahead and equip their X800XL cards with fanless headpipe coolers. We have tested the GV-RX80L256V with one of this silent cooling units and compared it against a nVIDIA GeForce 6800GT card.

Danger Den continues to be an innovator in water cooling. Their NV-68 Rev. 1.1 GPU/memory water block is a massive H20 copper cooler designed specifically to tame the nVidia 6800 line of graphic cards. Incorporating both GPU and memory cooling this is bound to be an Overclocker´s dream. Madshrimps bolts this baby to a BFG 6800GT PCI-ex OC (370MHz core speed) and tests the NV-68 in linear as fed from a PolarFLO TT CPU-water block. In this respect we will also measure performance difference (if any) from single, then twin outlets (ports).

3dfxzone.it have thrown up their review on Crucial's Hi-Speed USB 12-in-1 card reader.

Hi-Speed USB 12-in-1 allows to connect the memory cards to computers and to interact with them as they were removable hard drives. The article starts by summing up the reader's technical specifications, then looks over the device's physical features and, at last, gives the performances informations taken by measuring the main output parameters.

Finally the time has come to take a look at the new Pioneer DVR-109 16x DVD-Writer. Let us see if Pioneer have been able to hit the nail on the head this time and create an excellent DVD-Writer. Our hopes are high at least.

3DVelocity has been having double-the-fun with AMD's top-dog 4800+ X2 dual-core CPU.

Eventually technology wins through, and today I want to look at a CPU which by its very existence marks a completely new era in personal computing. In life, when you can't get your work done in the time allotted you get an assistant in, and AMDs new Athlon X2 follows that premise precisely with what is essentially two CPUs in a single package each handling a share of the processing burden.

Today we have a look at OCZ's PC5000 EL Platinum memory modules - they're specifically tuned for the DFI LANPARTY nF4 series motherboards, rated at an astonishing 625MHz DDR.

The X Mystique 7.1 Gold?s first claim to fame is support for real time Dolby Digital Live encoding in hardware. As avid HTPC users, we just had to see for ourselves if there might finally be some competition for Creative. We found the card at FrozenCPU for $99.00 US and placed an order. Although we will also test this card in several games, our primary focus will be on HTPC usage.

The new Mushkin High Performance series offers high capacity, high performance and affordable prices. If you are looking for new memory modules with the best price-performance ratio, the Mushkin HP series is definitely something to consider. Today, Chai puts the Mushkin 2GB HP3200 dual-channel memory kit under close scrutiny to see what this new large-capacity memory kit is capable of doing. Let's see how these Infineon-based modules perform in our tests!

OCIA.net has posted a review on the Sunbeam Trio ATX Case.

The single thumb screw releases the side panel -- these fit quite nicely, not as difficult to take off or put back on the case as some other similar methods. The acrylic window is fastened in place with plastic pop rivets.
