Hexus.net have taken a trip down memory lane with a review of the Commodore 64 DTV - a Commodore system within a retro style joystick. With 30 games to play, it's bound to keep the old-school gamers happy for a while. Check out the review here

Beyond3D takes a look at NVIDIA's NV43 based (non-TurboCache) GeForce 6200, their first entry level board based on the GeForce 6 architecture.

Today TweakTown takes a look at the first retail Intel 925XE based motherboard to hit our labs and it comes from ASUS. The newest Pentium 4 chipset from Intel increases FSB to 1066MHz and removes ECC memory support. The ASUS P5AD2-E Premium motherboard provides a stack of features but how does it perform against the Intel reference board? Read on as we investigate this 925XE retail board and what it?s all about.

Most of the products we've reviewed for SunbeamTech have been lighting mods and gadgets to spiff up your case. Today we take a look at what Sunbeamtech has to offer in the form of a pre-modded case called the Transformer. The Transformer has most of your typical pre-modded add-ons, plus tool free part installation and one really nice looking side panel window.

The Abit Fatal1ty AA8XE motherboard is the first in a series of products aimed squarely at the gaming community, featuring the brand of the world's #1 gamer. Can it live up to the hype?

PC Perspective

You can bend it, twist it or roll it up, but Ulukai reckons it's good to type on too!

For some people it happens at work, a cup of tea with lot of sugar spilled all over the keyboard, sometimes bridging the key contact and leaving the computer making an awful beeping sound as if the key is severely stuck. "

Just wanted to send word that we've posted a few articles and reviews at nV News for this weekend.

A newcomer to the nV News team, Paul Zimmerman reviews A4Tech's NB-30 Battery Free Wireless Optical Mouse:

3DsoundSurge have thrown up their review of Creative's Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro! Here's a snip.

The Audigy 4 Pro itself is PCI 2.3 compliant, and includes an external breakout box, which is connected to the PCI card via both a FireWire and proprietary connection. It includes 2 FireWire ports, a 1/4? Line-In, a 1/4? Line-In with Mic boost option and gain control, a 2x RCA Line-In, a 1/4? Headphone port, Master Volume control dial, CMSS Enable toggle, SPDIF Optical In/Out, MIDI In/Out, SPDIF Coax In/Out, and the proprietary Creative 4-pole Digital Out 1/8? port. The external box sports the CS4392 DAC for the headphone port, which is a 114dB 24/192 rated DAC, in addition to the TI/BB PCM1804 ADC (112dB SNR, -102dB THD) for recording.

SilverStone are touting their LC11 as the world's most advanced HTPC case! Empty boasts or simple fact? We set about finding out.

The case I want to look at today is slightly larger than most of the current HTPC chassis designs, but the advantage to this is that it allows you to use the more commonly and cheaply available micro-ATX motherboard form factor. It also packs a slightly more powerful power supply and has room for plenty of ventilation, something that becomes essential when you want to stack it beneath or on top of other hot components like VCRs or satellite decoders.

The SanDisk 256MB Cruzer Micro is nothing more than a USB thumb drive however SanDisk has also created the MP3 Companion turning this 256MB of storage into an MP3 Player.

I was skeptical about this sound card, as I believed that my onboard sound was actually not bad at all. For 69.99 though, this did so much more. The installation was a breeze, it auto-detected to override my onboard sound, the drivers were installed easily without any moving/searching for files.

Today we?ll be taking a look at the Zen Micro from Creative. This tiny-sized MP3 player is less popular than its biggest competitor - the Apple iPod Mini, but it offers more features like one GB extra storage capacity and FM radio. The Zen Micro from Creative is available in 10 colors, some are rather classic and others are very funky! In this review I will take a look at the black one which lights up blue.

Socket 775 has given the troubled Prescott Pentium4 a much needed shot in the arm. With better voltage regulation and a new socket interface, we have hope this will cure what ails the Prescott CPU. Today the Madshrimps look at two viable alternatives for those looking to get into socket 775, without having to sell of a kidney to finance the transition.

Today we take a look at a color laser printer that's perfectly suited towards small and medium sized businesses. The printer in question is the Samsung CLP-550 capable of fast printing and features Samsung's NO NOIS technology for quite printing.

Today TweakTown are taking a look at two new Socket 939 chipsets for the AMD Athlon 64 platform from nVidia and ATI. Usually we would compare these two companies in the usual GPU wars but today they battle it out against each other in the form of motherboards with nVidia's feature-packed nForce 4 and ATI's 200 Series. Which motherboard based on these chipsets deserves to make it into your Socket 939 AMD64 system? Read on and we'll let you know our thoughts on the subject

The Gigabyte GV-3D1 has 256MB GDDR3 memory and a 256-bit memory bus with two GPUs on one card. There are new benchmark results available including FutureMark bundle, Far Cry, Painkiller, Half-Life 2, Need for Speed Underground 2, Colin McRae Rally 2005, Doom 3, Call of Duty and Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Hard disk drives are one of the slowest computer components in the industry today. Due to their mechanics, they have not been able to keep up with other constantly updated technologies such as GPUs, CPUs, and chipsets. All storage manufacturers are mainly doing is increasing rotational speeds for platters, which lead to better I/O performance, switching standards (PATA to SATA for desktop hard disk drives), and integrating on-board cache (2MB à 8MB à 16MB) depending upon the generation of drives. The differences we just listed are all for performance gains, however, physically storage manufacturers are developing hard drives that are both smaller in size and larger in capacity. Until this year, 400GB of space on a single hard disk drive was unheard of, but it quickly changed with Hitachi?s announcement.

It's a rare product indeed that I can't find some fault with. The Thermaltake PurePower 680W is one of those products. Stability, power, features, finish and quality are all first rate. Hell, I'm even using the box it came in, with its nifty plastic carry handle, to store spares. I've always considered the PSU to be the most important part of a system, feeding and protecting all the other components. With a retail price of around $170 US, it's not the cheapest PSU out there, but it's not the most expensive either and factoring in what you get for your money, it's a good value.

The Soltek EQ3901M QBiC had it's flaws, however those aren't necessarily flaws of the EQ3901M they are flaws of the whole Small Form Factor genre. Soltek did a good job with the EQ3901M with room for enough hardware to make it a decent gaming rig or media center. The Motherboard gives users plenty of options for overclocking however with the limited space and airflow overclocking isn't a reality. The performance of the EQ3901M puts it on par with any desktop board, this is nice because moving to a SFF unit doesn't mean you have to sacrifice performance.

If looks could kill, the SeaSonic S12 would probably do little more than leave you feeling a touch under the weather, but as 3DVelocity discovered, looks can be deceptive.
