"Removable storage has always been convenient; just look at the popularity of the Iomega Zip drive. While Iomega has lost most of it's luster from the Zip 100, removable storage is good for a lot of things. Vantec has released a new USB powered, 2.5" Hard Drive external enclosure. So let's begin looking at the aluminum enclosure, the NexStar..."

Spire WhisperRock IV Cooler Review

Published by [NT] 0

Marketed as a product for computer users looking for a quiet cooling solution with competitive cooling capabilities, the WhisperRock performs exactly as Spire claims it to. While I wouldn’t recommend this cooler to overclockers, it is a fine cooler to put in any other computer. The build quality was great, it has an attractive look and it’s near-silent.


Logitech MX510 Performance Optical Mouse @ GeekExtreme.com

More red-hot review action coming your way. On the heels of the Razer Viper, a truly kick-ass optical gaming mouse, we've got the Logitech MX510 Perfomance Optical Mouse.
Quote:
Optical mice, since they became available to the general consumer, have traditionally won out over their un-nuetered bretheren in almost everything, save for gaming. More recently Logitech and a few other companies have come up with mice that were "okay" for gaming, but the balled variety of mouse always offered the gamer a better deal in the end. On the heels of our Razer Viper review, we now take a look at Logitech's "gaming" mouse - the MX510 Performance Optical Mouse. Sporting a slightly "better" sensor than the Viper and an ergonomic feel, does the Logitech MX510 have the "balls" to unseat the Viper from it's throne?
How did it fare?

Intel Prescott 3.4E Processor Review @ Tweaknews.net

Published by Newsfactory 0

It's honestly a tough call on the new Prescott core and Intel's new flagship CPU. On one hand you have just a couple core revisions for improved speed scaling and performance improvements when the 1MB L2 cache and the new SSE3 instruction set is used, but there are some definite drawbacks that have to be addressed in order for this CPU to become a popular and safe desktop CPU for the enthusiast or the everyday consumer.

This steel chassis mid-tower case brings a unique look as well as providing some nice ease of use features, including an almost completely screwless design. Its most prominent feature though has to be its unique "Guardian Eye Motion LED", which could make you the envy of any LAN party.

We can honestly say they may be the most innovative H20 PC-cooling company out there.

Intel Pentium 4 3.4E

Published by Newsfactory 0

Here's a list of sites that have thrown up their reviews of Intel's Pentium 4 3.4E Prescott-based CPU!

Amid the spectacle of wardrobe malfunctions and abnormally large caches, some noteworthy developments got a little lost. For one, the new Prescott processor was a shockingly major replumbing of the familiar Pentium 4, with an uber-deep 31-stage pipeline and a host of internal tweaks. These changes made Prescott usually a little slower, clock for clock, than the previous Pentium 4.

Published by Newsfactory 0

OCIA.net checks out the Seasonic Super Silencer 460W PSU in their latest review! Here's a snip.

Most people don't even think about their power supply. The most vital part of the computer that, for the most parts, sits quietly and keeps your rig running smoothly. Folks have started paying more attention to the PSU lately, coming out with products that are anodized, come with LED fans, and many other gizmos to tickle your fancy. This power supply, however, isn't one of those. This is what people in the automotive world call a sleeper, or an eagle in disguise. For that same fact, we will be calling this PSU the SS, which stands for Super Silencer. It may look like your standard generic PSU, but it hides some very interesting technology inside.

Case4U Mona Designer ATX Mid-Tower Computer Case Review @ Tweaknews.net

Published by Newsfactory 0

The Mona case from Case 4u is the lazy modder's dream: It requires no hard work to improve its appearance and can have lights and fans added without drilling or cutting to put in a window or fan opening. While the case requires nothing extra to make it look great, there is room for additions which makes the case a viable option for advanced modders as well. I enjoy the case thoroughly as I am one of those people who want to do nothing to the case but still have an impressive looking computer.

I-Star 400W + 400W Redundant PSU Review

Published by Newsfactory 0

OCIA.net checks out the I-Star 400W + 400W Redundant ATX PSU in their latest review.

One thing to note here is that both power supplies are fed from the same AC source. I-Star also has redundant power supplies that have two AC inputs so that you can hook one input up to a battery backup and one to a backup generator if you absolutely have to guarantee the system will not shut down due to power loss. For this project however, one AC input will work just fine as I am not running a corporate server off of this power supply.

AMD's Athlon 64 FX-53 Processor

Published by Newsfactory 1

Just got word from our bro's over at Driver Heaven and the TechReport! that their Athlon 64 FX-53 CPUs reviews are out.

APPARENTLY, the Athlon 64 FX-51 processor wasn't enough. This $733 former Opteron, converted into a desktop chip just to put the smack down on Intel, was no slouch. In fact, it abused our benchmarks throughout its tenure, making its sky-high price seem almost reasonable. Now, however, a new model, the Athlon 64 FX-53, is replacing the FX-51 wholesale.
