That is what Gainward's marketing department would have you believe, but can it live up to its name? HEXUS.net have a review of the GeForce 6800 GT Ultra/2400 Golden Sample Goes Like Hell 256MB graphics card. So, what powers it? Gainward say they've picked the best GeForce 6800 GT CPUs and given them enough cooling to get the clock speeds high enough to give a 6800 Ultra a run for its money.
Sunbeam Transformer Case Review
OCIA.net has posted a review of the Sunbeam Transformer Case. Below is a direct quote from the review:
"Sunbeam has listened to the cries of enthusiasts for years and has included a 120mm front intake fan hole. I am not sure why they included a fan bracket, as a 120mm fan can be mounted directly to the steel shell behind it, eliminating the need for the bracket. Personally, I removed and discarded this bracket. Another great feature visible in the photo above is the fan grill. Many manufacturers use the tiny punched-holes, which do not provide adequate airflow for the fan. This style, with much larger holes, is less restrictive and allows for more cool air to flow into the case. Unfortunately, a 120mm fan was not included for this location. One can be purchased separately from Sunbeam, or you can simply use one you already own."

LTB True 5.1 6 Channel Surround Sound Headphones Review
The market for high-end, 5.1 surround headphones keeps getting complicated as new manufacturers enter the realm. The choice becomes even more complicated when high-quality headphones sound better even from the unknown manufacturers; at least unknown to the majority of users in the market. There comes a time when all high-end headphones fail to sound better than their competitor’s product. It is at this time that we should closely pay attention to other factors of the product besides performance. These factors include product warranty, accessories, lower prices, and something that may attract the consumers over other manufacturers.
Samsung Yepp YP-780V 256Meg MP3 Player Review @ Tweaknews.net
Article Snippet:
"Some or even most new MP3 players are entering the market with FM radio receiving and voice recording capability. If you are tired of the music you have on the MP3 player, you can switch to your local radio broadcast till you upload some new media or if you need to record a voice memo or even a small business conversation, won't have to carry around a separate recorder.
The Samsung Yepp YP-780V MP3 player I will be reviewing today encompasses all of these features and compresses them into such a small size that you could easily fit two or even three of them into one hand."

SunBeamTech Samurai Case Review
The enthusiast computer case industry has come quite a long way in the past few years. Just a quick look at any major online reseller and you can see that literally dozens of manufacturers are competing against each other. From a consumer perspective, this is great news. More competition means better prices and features. We are starting to see features like tool-less designs, removable motherboard trays, solid construction, windowed side panels, UV lights, and numerous internal bays become available in more and more cases at lower and lower prices. The latest in budget oriented gaming cases is the Samurai from SunBeamTech.
Logisys UV Blue Acrylic Case Review
OCIA.net has posted a review of the Logisys UV Blue Acrylic Case. Below is a direct quote from the review:
"That just about wraps up the features of the case, except for these included feet. In my opinion, they are the final touch to the case. By putting these onto the bottom of the case, you can limit the possibility that the bottom panel will get scratched on the desk. Honestly, I didn’t expect to see them included and wouldn’t have been the wiser if they were missing. However, I was glad to see that Logisys had taken every measure to make sure the case doesn’t run into any scratches from normal use."

ABIT AV8-3rd Eye Review @ Rage3D
It all began with SoftMenu, ABIT's revolutionary BIOS which allowed, for the first time, enthusiasts and overclockers to adjust system settings within the BIOS instead of manipulating jumpers and dipswitches on the motherboard itself. With SoftMenu, ABIT earned a well deserved reputation for creating enthusiast oriented BIOS and quickly became known as "The" enthusiast company.
Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI @ AnandTech
Gigabyte delivers an exciting SLI board based on the excellent nForce4 K8NXP-9. How does the Gigabyte SLI compare?
we reviewed the first board for nVidia SLI, a Reference board from Asus called the A8N-SLI Deluxe. Asus believed that they had a 30-day lead on competitors with their SLI board, so it will be a surprise to some to see, just one day later, the Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI. Clearly, other Tier 1 motherboard makers have also been very busy!

Enermax Noisetaker EG701P-VE review @ Xtreme Resources
A strong and stable power supply is the heart of any system, although many people pay little to no attention to it. With companies releasing new technologies and enthusiasts pushing their systems to the limit, the demand for better power supply units rises as well. Enermax answers the demand by releasing the Noisetaker EG701P-VE power supply unit, a 600W monster which features some of the very best power supply technology available to date in the industry. The review utilizes brutal load testing by running an AMD A64 and Intel P4 system simultaneously on the EG701P-VE. Will the PSU survive three days with both systems at full load?
A4Tech NB-30: Battery Free Wireless Optical Mouse Review
A4Tech has recently announced their "no-battery" mouse, which is the world’s first optical mouse that operates without the use of batteries, at least to some degree. Undoubtedly this makes them unique and certainly attention grabbing, but is the innovation justifiable? As you will later find out, the price to performance ration may not be so desirable to many. While the company enters the market with a nice and innovative product, we do recommend that they consider some aspects of the products such as the price and the mouse pad.
