Today at XR our EU Senior reviewer Grace takes a look at a serious piece of hardware that can be a lifesaver in the fight against data loss, the Jackson Armor backup card.

Today on the chopping block is the Scythe Katana CPU Cooler, a heat pipe based cooler for AMD and Intel alike. You can never have a cooler CPU these days, so anything that looks as big and mean as this bad boy has got to have some cooling power right?

Being the hardcore gamers that we are, the need for more than 1GB of memory is becoming evident. Last year, 512MB didn't cut it, especially when playing top games like Half-Life 2 and Doom III. Now, current and upcoming top games are demanding more than 1GB, like BF2 and FEAR. Today, we are taking a look at a 2GB kit that is designed specifically for gamers.

Most of us hesitate before reading the last test of a Ferrari. We hesitate, because after reading it, we really want to buy one. Our situation is almost identical. The Eizo S2110W includes several excellent innovations: new S-PVA 8 ms panel, 1000:1 contrast ratio, brightness sensor and automatic adjustments (it is extraordinarily accurate). Because of the monitor size and its price (1,400 ?) it is only dedicated to professionals. Don?t stop reading here though! This article relates several extraordinary results but also a couple of impressive counter performances. Some of the functionalities will also surely be included in future general public LCD monitors.

The SyncMaster 920T has all the features needed in a digital monitor including 1000:1 contrast ratio, 178 degree viewing, landscape pivot viewing, adjustable stand, built in speakers and best of all, a relatively decent price tag. If you are in the market for an excellent digital LCD monitor for the new school year.

Today at XR we've got on the review bench one of NZXT's latest case offerings, the Trinity Classic Series. Our Senior European reviewer Grace evaluates this mainstream case which is also not too hard on the wallet.

Today we take a look at one of Samsungs new series of gaming LCD Monitors. The SyncMaster 930BF is a 19" LCD Monitor that uses Samsungs new RTA Technology. With RTA Technology the monitor will produce clear screen images with none of the blurring associated with previous generations of LCD Monitors.

Up to this point, NVIDIA's nForce4 chipset has dominated the AMD motherboard market among enthusiasts, but what if we told you Sapphire and ATI have been working on an alternative to nForce4 Ultra? The product? Sapphire's PURE Innovation PI-A9RX480. Join us as we take a look at this XPRESS 200 motherboard!

The modestly priced ML100/101 from Optorite proves itself to be worth every penny invested. Throughout the course of the review, numerous hours of gaming and various other tasks were thrown at it and it held the pace with invariable reliability. Its fluidity of motion and flawless tracking prove to exceed my expectations of its performance for the price. Compared to other higher priced laser mice, the ML100/101 provides great value and return on the investment.

OCIA.net takes a look at the HSPC Tech Station v2 in their latest review.

Next we set the top shelf on the legs and line the protruding tips of the screws up with the pre-drilled holes in the tops of the legs. After all 4 screws are in, we snap the covers closed. The screw covers are a touch on the small side. If you tighten the screws down too much, it becomes difficult to snap the covers closed. Regardless, they were easy to snap closed with a few light taps from the handle of the screw driver.

Storage would be pretty stagnant if additional gigabytes were all new hard drives had to offer, but there's more to the Deskstar 7K500 than its copious capacity. The drive also comes equipped with a generous 16MB cache, as well as support for 300MB/s Serial ATA transfer rates and Native Command Queuing?all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a high-end drive. But does it have enough punch to keep up with the latest from Maxtor, Seagate, and Western Digital? Read on to find out.

With Intel canceling their plans for any type of 4.0Ghz processor in the near future, Intel is focusing more and more on dual core and on other ways to make their chips faster other than increase the clock speed. The speed war is over, the efficiency battle has just begun. Because of these facts, this will be the fastest 64bit capable processor you will see in the 6xx range of Pentium 4s.

At TweakTown we've reviewed many ASUS graphics cards in previous years but we always wondered why they cost more than other brands. Sure, they always included a healthy package but does that alone really justify spending extra? Today we take a close look at two of ASUS's new GeForce 7800 GTX ?T.O.P? cards in SLI which come factory overclocked with fancy and effective coolers. Read on find out why we think ASUS finally hit the nail on the head for a true premium (kick ass) high-end graphics card!

OCAU has what appears to be the first hands-on review of Apple's new iPod nano. It holds less but has more features than the earlier models, it comes in pretty colours and it's much, much smaller.

Elite Bastards have today focused on the low-end of the video card market, with a look at XFX's variant of the system memory sharing GeForce 6200 TurboCache board.

If you have a media PC, you know that things could be made easier, had you have the right equipment. Or, do you have a regular PC but want a cool way to be able to control music while not at your desk? The S 510 Media Keyboard is a set that's complete with a remote control. Let's jump right into the review to see how great this set is. Techgage

Titan seem to have replaced its silver grease with a new "more advanced" blue one. As soon as I heard about the new Nano Blue, I wanted to test it, hoping that they couldn?t have made a new paste that gives worse results that their old silver one. But I was wrong... Titan Nano Blue Thermal Grease Review

XR's Senior European Hardware Reviewer Grace today had the opportunity to evaluate several of Crucial's offerings in the very popular flash memory segment of the current market.

It seems that Chaintech hasn?t excluded any features on this new and very affordable motherboard. It is actually equipped with everything you need for a fast, stable, reliable computer. Though it doesn?t have PCI-e slot it does offer an AGP 8X slot. Our recent survey shows that most users are still using AGP based systems; so plenty of life remains for the AGP market with ATI just releasing the mid level X800GT and their current flagship X850 lineup. If you are on a budget for a new board but you already own a high-end AGP card, then this board might be just what you are looking for.

Today TweakTown are comparing DDR-400 enthusiast memory modules from Crucial, Geil and Mushkin which are designed for performance AMD Athlon 64 users. After taking a look at each module and checking their compatibility on a range of DDR based chipsets, we run a bunch of benchmarks to work out which module offers the best performance.
