ChrisRay over at Nvnews.net has completed a review of eVGA's e-GeForce FX 5700 Ultra with NVIDIA's Personal Cinema. With the debut of the GeForce 6 Series, the GeForce FX 5700 line will eventually transition to the value market segment.

But the highlight of this bundle is NVIDIA's Personal Cinema, which can be used as a Digital Media Hub for Audio/Video Input/Output. From the review: eVGA leaves nothing out of the Personal Cinema package. It includes two eVGA stickers, audio/video cables, multimedia hub, DVI-to-VGA adapter, FM antenna, NVIDIA remote control, two software cds, batteries, and of course the card (GeForce 5700 Ultra) itself.

OCIA.net checks out the Vantec EZ-Grip Molex Connectors in their latest review. Below is a direct quote from the review:

"I inserted the molex removal tool provided in the kit. Let me just say that this tool easily cuts the time of the job in half. When I put the cable sleeving kit on originally, I found that removing molex connectors without an appropriate tool is very time consuming and hard on the hands. However, using the tool that is provided, all that is required is inserting the tool, and pushing the knob on top, similar to the working of a syringe."

Whilst the high end graphics cards announcements and subsequent (slow) releases have kept hardware enthusiasts occupied over the past few months, for most people these high end boards are of little practical interest. The vast majority of graphics board users and consumers will be looking much lower down the price ranges to get for their graphics capabilities. To this end we are today taking a look at Galaxy’s GeForce FX 5700 LE – a board priced competitively to the 5200 Ultra, but whose NV36 core has a few more advanced features.

"The MII10000 reviewed today is practically the same as the M10000 other than the included CompactFlash, Cardbus and Firewire capability. The Firewire should remain an EPIA staple whereas the Cardbus and the CompactFlash wouldn't be missed by most of its targeted audience. Other than that, if you are in the market for a cheap.."

OCIA.net checks out the Flexiglow FX Game Pad in their latest review. Below is a direct quote from the review: "Upon receiving this review item, I have changed my look at the simple mouse pad. If the Flexiglow FX Game Pad was a TV cook, it would kick it up a notch. The surface of this thing is very smooth, perfect for the mouse to glide across. The main feature of this mouse pad is the colors. Lots of colors."

The most disappointing aspect about these chipsets has to be the performance of the i925X chipset versus the i915P/G. Intel claims performance enhancements for the i925X over i915P/G such as an advanced memory controller that is capable of offering more bandwidth. They come through with that fact, but in the end that isn?t enough to make the i925X a viable buy over the i915P/G chipset in our eyes. Until we start seeing some better gains from i925X motherboards, they?re going to be hard to recommend over the certainly cheaper i915P/G motherboards.

At that price this case would fall into the budget category however the uniqueness of this case and pre-modded look really adds to the attraction. The other features including screw-less drive and PCI card installation, side intake fan, dual 80MM exhaust fans, front Audio and USB ports make this case worth every penny of its selling price.

Portable USB drives are the latest trend amongst storage enthusiasts. These little drives offer higher storage capacity with blazing fast speeds and they are portable enough to fit inside a pocket. There are lots of manufacturers in the market who produce such devices. Some are well-known such as Verbatim while others are not highly popular such as Simple Talent.

The initial idea for this mod started to form earlier this year while I was at a friend's LAN party. After drinking plenty of Bawls and playing games all night, we talked a little bit about mods (my Lian-Li is lightly modded, but everyone else's cases were stock). I briefly brought up the idea of a music server PC in a stereo or VCR, but it was more a passing thought at the time.

A few days later, however, I put some more thought to the idea, and noticed all of the expensive HTPC cases that were starting to float around. Most of these cases attempted to fit into the general home theater look so that the HTPC wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb. "What could fit more into an entertainment setup," I said to myself, "than a regular DVD player?" Following the mantra of stealth but cool, the DVD Player Mod was born.

Today we will be taking a closer look at Actiontec's Wireless Bluetooth Headset. This heaset is designed for cell phones and users who are looking to get rid of those annoying wires. This headset is light-weight and portable, which makes the product worthwhile, but how is the real-world performance of this headset? Read on and find out.

Recently I reviewed ATIs newest mid level card the X600XT and while it struggled a little at the highest resolutions it walked away with a silver medal for its low power consumption, overall performance, value for money and high 2D and 3D image quality

Guru 3D have thrown up their latest review of Nvidia's GeForce 6800 GT plus a performance comparsion againist the Radeon x800 Pro x800 XT, GeForce 6800 Ultra and of course previous generation graphics cards! Here's a snip.

When I first saw the specifications for GeForce Series 6 back in March I was like, wow... the rumors were true. This NV40 is going to be everything that the GeForce FX missed out on, a gun in the consumer graphics card arena, accurate, tough and with a license to kill.
