Just got word from Nordic Hardware that part 2 of their SFF-barebones review is out! Here's a snip.

And once again it's time for another SFF article. The last one was well accepted by you readers and since there is a lot going on in the barebone front at the moment, much more than on the conventional mainboard front, we thought of blessing you with another SFF roundup. The competitors this time is AOen's newly released EY65 XCube, EPoX' EX5-300S Mini Me and Shuttle's two latest creations ST62K and ST61G4. The two first mentioned are based on Intel's trusted i865G chipset while the last two are based on ATi's RS300 chipset also known as Radeon 9100 IGP.

Hardware Pacers has posted a review on the Chenbro Hornet (PC-80566) Case! Here's a snip.

The case can be purchased in two different colors: Yellow or Silver. The front panel is very attractive and stylish. It has a yellow "I" and on the sides there are air holes for case ventilation. On the top there is a lid that covers a 3.5 inch drive bay and can be easily opened by flipping it upwards. On the left side of the case there is a large lid that covers a 5.25 inch drive bay that can be flipped open by pulling on the side.

Just got word that Gamers Depot have posted their review of Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Gamer Edition! Here's a snip.

From the outset, it may seem as if there?s really nothing different with the ZS ? after all, it supports DVD-Audio, has a great signal-to-noise ratio and streams 5.1 audio via a digital audio output and has separate discrete analog outputs. However, under the hood, there?s quite a bit more at stake.

Throughout my two week testing period, I have thrown and connected pretty well everything at this monitor that I had in my testing lab and failed miserably at finding a weak point. With 19 inches of crystal clear and vibrant LCD viewing goodness, you would be hard pressed to find yourself unhappy with this purchase.

One factor that used to be a major disadvantage until now was gaming. Gaming with LCD monitors until this model was almost unbearable with the large amount of ghosting causing even the most beautifully rendered scenes to blend into a blurry unplayable mess. But in the case of the 192MP, an exemption to the rule has been created. Not only was gaming playable, it was downright enjoyable.

Kingmax has recently brought their new line of "Hardcore Series" and affordable DDR-466 and DDR-500 memory modules to the market. TweakTown test with an ABIT IC7 MAX3 motherboard and see just how far they can ramp up the clock speeds of both sets of memory.

DataFuse.net just finished reviewing Motorola's V150! Here's a snip.

It shouldn't always be computer hardware, after about 70 hardware reviews in the last 20 months, I decided to take a closer look at a cell-phone, why wouldn't I, I'm sure all the enthusiasts out there have and use them.

Thermaltake is known for their quality products worldwide. Thermaltake took their product line to the next level when they introduced their Extreme line. The extreme product line has heatsink combos, chipset coolers, and VGA coolers. The extreme product line has been designed by keeping the ultimate enthusiast in mind.

TheCrucible.ca has posted a review of Chaintech's Socket 754 nForce3 ZNF3-150 Zenith Motherboard. Here is a snippet: I was quite pleased with the performance of the ZNF3-150. It did a good job of keeping up with the two K8T800 boards. While still a hair slower, it proves that with some tweaking the nForce3 chipset can hold its own in the Athlon64 market place. The ZNF3-150 is a great looking board, the black PCB and orange/gold accents will make this a case modders favorite. So far aesthetics wise is my favorite.

ABIT has announced that they will be marketing the 9600XT and the 9800 XT. Which to me are two of the best ATI has to offer. ABIT has the basics covered for anyone looking for the best mid range performing card and someone who may settle for nothing but the fastest. I have been given the chance to give the ABIT 9800XT a work out. However I wanted to add a bit more to this as there are several review already out for the 9800XT. In this review I will show the difference in performance one can expect when going from a 9700 Pro to the 9800XT as it is a question that is frequently asked on our forums.

Techseekers.net has looked at the VIA CL-10000 mini-itx motherboard. With Dual LAN it seems ideally suited to networking and routing. Not only did they test it under Windows XP, but with Fedora linux, and IP Cop also. They also test using a Gigabit Ethernet card to see can the CL-10000 keep up with it.

VIA have done it again. They have created a unique board for a unique market. For those of you wishing to create a little firewall or a quick network file server, the CL-10000 is an excellent choice. I remember when I got my first VIA Eden board, and I noted that it would be ideal if it had a second network port. And now the platform does. Having the second port on the board opens up new possibilites for the PCI slot.

Over the past few months we have been lucky enough to have access to 2 different AMD 64bit processors, the Athlon 64 3200+ and the Opteron 146. We were completely impressed by the Opteron 146 and the Athlon 64 3200+ wasn?t half bad either. Today we have the opportunity to take a look at the final desktop model in the AMD series ? the Athlon 64 FX-51. We shall also put a Pentium 4 3.0ghz and Athlon XP 3200+ into the mix to complete the comparison.

There are many heatsinks in the market and choosing the right one can be a daunting task. The heatsinks can be separated into two main categories: heatsinks for normal usage and heatsinks designed for the enthusiast crowd. All air-cooling heatsinks are similar to each other. Ultimately, we see the same technologies being used in many heatsinks these days. There haven?t been many improvements done in this section and yet, we still see new models coming out everyday.

OpenOffice.org 1.1.1b was released not too long ago, so I decided to take it for a spin and see how well it competed against MS Office 2003. Here's a quick quote from the review...

There is one feature which I found annoying at first, but after a few minutes got used to it and found it very useful. The Word Completion feature saves the user time by suggesting a word while you are typing. For example, when typing the word ?feature?, by the time the letters ?fea? are typed, OpenOffice.org suggest that the word you are trying to type is indeed ?feature? and highlights the word for you. A simple enter on the keyboard accepts the word. The Word Completion feature can be disabled for those that find it annoying by simply clicking Tools > AutoCorrect/AutoFomat > Word Completion tab. Yet if you learn to use this feature, you will find that it saves tons of typing time. The options for the Word Completion feature are extensively adjustable.

With value, performance, good looks and overclocking ability wrapped into one tidy package, the HIS 9600XT Turbo in my mind would be a good deal for anyone looking to save a couple or buck without the cut in features. >From the minute I opened the box, this card has been nothing but a pleasant surprise with features and aesthetics usually reserved for cards with a much higher pricetag. If you are in the market for an excellent performing videocard at a great price, this card should be on your short list. This card nicely blurs the boundary between mainstream and enthusiast.

Today 3DXtreme has been given the pleasure to review Bytecc?s newly designed 7-IN-1 Front Panel Memory Card Reader with USB 2.0 and Firewire. We would like to start off by thanking Bytecc for this opportunity. Seen here is what you can expect to receive from the BT-618. Read on...

PCMag have thrown up their review of Roxio's Easy Media Creator 7! Here's a snip.

Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 is much more than just the latest spin of the company's immensely popular Easy CD & DVD Creator digital-media suite. Boasting an enormous number of enhancements and a radically improved interface, Creator 7 is the first Roxio suite to present itself convincingly as a single, coherent application.

Just got word from Crow at Darkcrow.co.kr that he's been searching the web high and low for the latest graphics card reviews to have hit the web and grouped them all together on one page! There's 30 reviews in total. Here are some of the list:

At long last, my first full review for Elite Bastards is finished!

Today's showdown compares a couple of low-end cards with mid-range names - Namely Hercules' Radeon 9600SE and PNYs GeForceFX 5600XT. Are these cards great value, or are the card names as misleading as they first appear? Find out for yourself.
