NZXT Panzerbox Computer Case @ APH Networks
Ingenuity and great designs have revolutionized the world.
Time and time again -- from the very first computer, to the first tanks that
were rolled out during the First World War. Speaking of tanks, one of the
most famous tanks of the Second World War was the German built Panzer IV. The
Panzer IV revolutionized tank designs of many countries with certain elements
that are found even in today's modern tanks. The Panzer IV simply bulldozed
over the opposition when it was first introduced; as it was simply more than
the opposing forces could handle from these powerful mechanical bulls. While
it was far from the best tank of the war, it was a very valuable contender
that led to much better and reliable designs later on. It's a fact that early
Panzer IVs were unreliable, and had quite a load of problems. Even with all
that, they managed to inspire a whole new approach to both interior and
exterior tank engineering and design. At this point, you are probably
wondering why there is such a huge history lesson in our latest review today.
Well, the answer is actually quite simple. We have a new product that takes
on the bold title of the Panzerbox. One thing that we appreciate is the
naming of this product, is that it just simply evokes a feeling of dominance
and a sensation of having a product that could make all other of the same
category seem silly. With such a great name, also comes a great deal of
expectation. Any case that can hold such a dominant sounding name should not
only be a great source of ingenuity and new ideas, but also should crush the
competition. Well, we hope so at least -- just like the early Panzer IV,
there could always be room for improvement for progress of the overall
product. Anyway, the product that we received was manufactured by NZXT, which
has already been known for good budget cases like the NZXT Beta we have
previously reviewed. Today, we will see how much the NZXT Panzerbox can live
up to its bold name, and if they really trample over its competition and
leave them in the dust.

Thermaltake BlacX Duet HDD Docking Station @ APH Networks
When we reviewed the original Thermaltake BlacX back in April
2008, we commended Thermaltake for marketing such an innovative and
convenient product, but we complained about its lack of essential features
such as eSATA. The idea of allowing users to quickly swap internal hard
drives on an external interface on-the-fly is undoubtedly excellent, but
execution could definitely use some improvement. A few different variations
of Thermaltake's BlacX were made since then -- a nearly identical station
with added eSATA support, as well as the SE version that provides four USB
ports in front. Sounds great, right? Well, how the heck do you make it
better? Fear not. As far as Thermaltake is concerned, there is only one way
to make the BlacX product line twice as good as it is already: Combine two of
them, and make them into one unit, and then call it the 'BlacX Duet'. The end
product? Thermaltake's latest hard drive docking station! As its name
suggest, it is designed to combine elements of its excellent prior 2.5" and
3.5 serial ATA hard drive compatibility, added eSATA support from the second
iteration, as well as the tried and true USB support for maximum
compatibility since the first edition -- the Duet now features bays for
accommodation of up to two desktop and/or laptop hard disk drives too! How's
that for a change? We cracked one open for you to see how it works out in
real life.

G.SKILL F3-8500CL7D-8GBSQ 2x4GB Laptop DDR3 RAM @ APH Networks
It's actually a lot of fun to own a Lenovo Thinkpad. Besides
the impeccable build quality, unsurpassed reliability, a keyboard feel that's
not repeated in any other brands, and not to mention its incredible battery
life -- there's always those questions from friends and strangers alike that
command a level of hilarity. "What Pentium do you have?" is actually a
question that I've been asked many times in the past year or so, referring to
my T400. "Pentium II", I would reply jokingly, poking fun at those who
completely missed my Centrino 2 vPro sticker on the left palm rest, and my
screen showing an operating system interface no other than the one of Windows
Vista (Or Windows 7 later on). But I don't blame them. Thinkpads have
retained the same basic design since the 1990s; but it is the progressive
refinement, subtle beauty, pride, and tradition that brings the brand
loyalists together. Plus, I am a big fan of building the ultimate 'sleeper'
device in places where I can be seen with them, whether it be cars or
computers. Additionally, I can assure you Macbook Pros are stolen quite a bit
around here at the university. Thinkpads? Less of a chance, to say the least!
To be honest, there aren't a lot of components that are upgradeable in a
laptop. But of those parts that can be upgraded, RAM is probably by far the
most popular, thanks to its ease of implementation and important role in
computer performance. Currently, the largest amount of RAM you can possibly
fit in a typical laptop is 2x4GB, for an 8GB total. That's a truckload of
memory -- unfortunately it could cost upwards of $700 USD retail for DDR3
SODIMMs at press time. That said, there's one company that has it affordable.
G.SKILL's F3-8500CL7D-8GBSQ 2x4GB costs a hair under $400 for DDR3 with
7-7-7-20 timings at press time, and while we are at it, G.SKILL is a
reputable, quality manufacturer to performance enthusiasts. So whether you
are looking to enlarge your e-peen today (Raises hand), or requires a big
boost in system memory on your laptop (That too), we have this review here
for you today!

Prolimatech Mega Shadow Deluxe Edition LGA 1156 Ready CPU Cooler Review @ OCIA.net
"Prolimatech has also released a new version of the Megahalems. It is a Megahalems that has been covered with a beautiful black nickel plate and sports LGA 1156 hardware so it will fit every enthusiast Intel CPU built in the past five years or so. But under that shiny black nickel finish, it still is a Megahalems at heart. Today I will be looking at this cooler, the Prolimatech Mega Shadow Deluxe Edition. Will it keep my LGA 1156 i7 870 nice and cool? Read on to see!"

Asus EAH5970 @ Neoseeker
"The EAH5970 is obviously a monster card. It uses two of ATI's most powerful GPUs, so it should do no less than crush the competition. This is of course what it did."

Zalman MS1000-HS2 Case @ BCCHardware
While there is a lot to like with the Zalman MS1000-HS2, there are a couple of things that bug me a little bit with this case. As previously mentioned, the lack of fan on the second HDD module makes drives installed in that bay a little too warm for my liking. Granted, many users will not use more than three drives, but for the cost of a single fan, I believe Zalman should have stepped up and provided one with this case. . .

The Future of NVIDIA 3D Vision @ OCC
"Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be one of the few people to see 3D Blu-ray in action and I must say, I was very impressed. If you have seen any of the recent 3D movies in theaters over the past year, you know how far 3D has come in the past decade. No more blue-and-red glasses. No more throwing things out at you just for the sake of 3D."

Kingston MobileLite G2 USB Card Reader with 8GB SDHC Card Review @ ThinkComputers.org
“Back in March we took a look at Kingston’s MobileLite 9-in-1 card reader. It was a great and very useful product. Well Kingston has redesigned the MobileLite, calling the new version the G2. The MobileLite G2 is a very compact USB card reader that supports SD/SDHC, microSD/SDHC, MSPD, MS Pro HG Duo and M2 cards. Since it is so small you can take it with you anywhere and it has the USB connection right on it so no extra cables to carry with you, let’s take a look."

G.Skill Pi PC3-17600 4GB Dual-Channel Memory Kit @ TweakTown
"What's important about this is that it's easier to get two modules to work together at a higher speed than it is to get three. For this reason we're seeing dual channel kits of memory offer us some serious speed and very quickly after the release of the P55 chipset. Since PC3-16000 is being offered by most performance memory manufacturers, it's time for companies to begin to mix it up even more.
Today we'll be looking at a PC3-17600 kit from G.Skill. How many MHz is that? Well, we're not going to give that away just yet. Before we look at the MHz of the kit we'll have a quick look at the package and also a closer look at the modules and any extras on offer."

Seagate FreeAgent Go ST910004FAA2E1-RK @ Benchmark Reviews
Mobile storage of music, videos, pictures, files, and pretty much anything else you can think of is rapidly becoming more and more popular. Even the recent release of Windows 7 has seen unheard of amounts of people wanting to install the operating system using external storage devices such as flash drives rather than a DVD. Many workstations in offices don't include any sort of optical or other removable media devices other than USB drives. Seagate has always been a name well associated with storage and their most recent external hard drive series is another push forward helping people with all kinds of storage needs. Benchmark Reviews is taking a look at the Seagate FreeAgent Go 640 GB USB 2.0 External Drive, which is loaded with features, and even software, to make your life easier.

QNAP TS-809 Pro Turbo NAS Review @ TechSpot.com
While popular among storage-hungry PC enthusiasts, network-attached storage has proven to be particularly useful in office environments, where sharing large amounts of data between several desktop PCs can become quite problematic. With the availability of 2TB hard drives, a majority of users will be satisfied with a 2 or 4-bay NAS solution. However, as data accumulates over time there are those who might require even more than that.
Performance and feature set are two things you'll definitely want to keep in mind. From our experience in testing a range of devices we can assure you there can be huge differences from one offering to another. Some will provide you with transfer speeds of around 10-20MB/s, while other more serious models will deliver considerably better performance, but most still struggle to max out a Gigabit Ethernet connection.
Our quest for bigger and better alternatives led us to one place: the QNAP TS-809 Pro Turbo NAS. Not only can this product accommodate more hard drives than we've seen before, supporting a total of eight, but it possesses power that is unmatched by any NAS device we have come across to date.

AcoustiPack Ultimate and Extra Soundproofing Materials for PC @ [OC]ModShop
One of the ultimate goals of a Home Theater PC enthusiast is to achieve a completely silent appliance. There are several ways to achieve this by using low-power motherboards, solid-state drives, and cards that only require passive cooling. Although the components you choose in your system plays a significant part of its silence, the next level of noise reduction is reached when you apply sound dampening material inside your computer.
A lot of testing and research has been done by many companies to come up with acoustic material to silence your PC or home theater rig. One of the high-end materials comes from Acousti Products, who asked us to test their AcoustiPack Ultimate material, along with their AcoustiPack Extra foam.

OCZ Platinum 1600 Ram Triple Channel @ LanOC Reviews
In the ram market there isn't any one manufacture who is top dog, but there are a few that stand out. One of the few manufactures that targets enthusiasts and benchmarkers is OCZ. They entered the memory market in August of 2000 hoping to make the best high performance memory; over nine years later they have grown to be one of the most successful enthusiast ram manufactures on the market. Recently they have been known for their SSD's but their memory is what started it all. Today I have the chance to take a look at one of their 1600Mhz Triple channel kits for the i7 platform. Read on to see how it performed.

Patriot Memory NAS GearBox Mini Adapter Video Review @ TweakTown
"What happened, though, when the folks over at Patriot Memory asked if we wanted to do a review of their new NAS GearBox? We knew from the pictures in the press release we weren’t expecting a full-on NAS of the normal variety costing well into the four figures, no… we were expecting a tiny little NAS device that could easily sit in the palm of our hands, weigh under one hundred grams and cost around $50 USD.
Patriot Memory’s NAS GearBox is a tiny little NAS gadget with 10/100 Ethernet LAN support and it comes with two powered USB 2.0 ports for easily adding and sharing media and files over your network. We were a little skeptical about this device, as we are now starting to see more and more routers come with a USB 2.0 port for simple adding of storage to your network. Some even come with some extra features such as built-in torrent downloaders, for instance."

Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ HD Media Player Review @ Legit Reviews
"Seagate’s FreeAgent Theater+ is one of the most versatile media players on the market. Based on the Realtek 1073 chipset, the guts of the Theater+ are technically the same as the Patriot Box Office. Doing a side-by-side comparison, however, shows the Seagate to be a tad quicker when navigating around menus and playing files. The operating systems for devices featuring the Realtek processor are notoriously clunky or bland. Not so for the Seagate. The OS is actually quite sleek – almost minimalist. Everything you need is there and is easily accessible. In fact, my 5 year old was able to pick up the remote and navigate successfully to The Clone Wars TV Series Blu-ray-rips that I stored locally on the FreeAgent hard drive..."

This particular netbook comes free when you sign up to a Virgin Media broadband package and comes supplied with an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, 1gb ddr2, 120gb hard drive and integrated sound and graphics. It’s perfect for travelling with but be warned it’s quite small."

6GB Crucial Ballistix Tracer Triple Channel RAM Review @ TechwareLabs
RAM is one of those things that can be easily overlooked. It can be confusing picking out what kind and how much you need. However RAM is one of the most important pieces of your machine, and can be a serious bottleneck if you don't have the optimum RAM speed and amount. With more RAM you can do more things at once. Multitaskers rejoice, because here's the Crucial Ballistix Tracer 6GB Kit.

Bang For Your Buck: Six Gaming PCs Explored @ HotHardware.com
You're stuffed full of turkey, you somehow managed to erect a Christmas tree (or not), and you're still recovering from Black Friday. Without a doubt, you've had one whirlwind of a holiday. But before you get too comfortable in that chair of yours, we should probably remind you that the gift giving day(s) you've all been waiting for is only a few weeks away. If you've been thinking of replacing that aging gaming rig of yours with something a bit more powerful as a gift to yourself (so to speak), we've rounded up a few solid options in varying price ranges that just might fit the bill. Oh, and you don't even have to get off of that sofa you're planted on to assemble these.

Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme Review @ XSReviews
"Companies are now becoming wise to the fact that revising an existing product is often an all together better choice than starting from scratch to try and create something intrinsically different.
In this instance, Tuniq, a subsidiary of Sunbeamtech, have attempted to improve upon the Tower 120 design. Now christened the Tower 120 Extreme, this CPU cooler has been beefed up a little to make it more compatible with the newer Intel Nehalem architectures through a series of improvements designed to uprate the cooling capabilities. Let’s take a better look at the product in question."

NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 Graphics Card @ iXBT Labs
"The test results indicate that GeForce GT 240 significantly outperforms cheaper RADEON HD 4670, but loses as much to more advanced RADEON HD 5750. In other words, it completely corresponds to its MSRP of $99."

Thermaltake Contac 29 CPU Cooler Review @ Tweaknews
"All in all the Thermaltake Contac 29 CPU Cooler can hold its own and the proof is there. When a sub $40 cooler can keep a blistering 140w AMD Phenom II X4 965 overclocked to 3.6GHz with 1.4v under 60 degrees Celsius, you know you have value!."

ATI HD 5770 Review @ XSReviews
"ATI recently jumped ahead of their closest rivals nVidia by releasing their latest generation of GPUs upon the market, just before the launch of Windows 7 in an attempt to cash in on the early adopters of Direct X 11. However, like always the first run of cards made available were mind blowingly expensive, so what's a mid-ranger looking for an upgrade to do? Fortunately it wasn't long before the slightly more mid-range options were made available, the 57xx series.
For those with an aging 7 or 8 series card from nVidia - or a 3 or mid level 4 series from ATI - still powering your gaming rig, this could well be the card that you upgrade to. Is it worth it though? Let's find out."

Xigmatek Thor's Hammer CPU Cooler/Heatsink Review @ Tweaknews
"Xigmatek's Thor's Hammer is a formidable weapon in the battle against processor heat. It performed on par with the very best coolers in the comparison using a couple of inexpensive and quiet fans. The Hammer is a big cooler, particularly with two 120mm fans hanging off of it, but it delivers big performance commensurate with its bulk."

Actually, you might find you're the computer loving geek and wonder what you should buy yourself. Better still, you know that your partner or parents are going to be sitting down on the computer in the next few hours and you think if you conveniently leave your internet browsing software of choice strategically placed on the right page of our guide, you might just get exactly what you want without having to say something.

Patriot Torqx 128GB SSD @ OCC
"Using this drive as an OS drive proved every bit as pleasing as when I used the 64GB version, without stuttering and hangups. Early SSDs got a bad wrap for the performance degradation that manifested itself as you used the drive and got close to full capacity. Patriot has available a Wiper utility that will clear all of the blocks of memory that have been written to, so performance can be kept at peak levels - helping eliminate this obstacle to disk performance."

Seagate Barracuda XT SATA-6G Hard Drive @ Benchmark Reviews
Somewhere between the speed of Solid State Drive technology and the reliability of value-priced Hard Disk storage is the Seagate Barracuda XT. The industry's first SATA 6GBps HDD features 2TB of data storage capacity, and is also the first product to receive compliance with the third generation SATA controller interface. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the Seagate Barracuda XT hard drive against a cross section of competing storage products using the ASUS P7P55D Premium (Marvell 88SE9123) and Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD6 (Marvell 88SE9128) motherboards, comparing the model ST32000641AS hard disk on the both SATA-6G controllers as well as Intel's P55/ICH10 SATA-3G chipset.

AMD Athlon II X2 240e & X3 435 @ Techgage
If on the lookout for a budget processor, whether it be dual, tri or quad-core, there's no better place to look than AMD. The company recently released eight new models, and in total, nine current Athlon II's retail for under $100. We're taking a look at two such models here, the X3 435 and X2 240e, to see how much bang can be had for so little buck.

iStorage Pro iT8SAE 8-bay SAS / SATA Expander @ TweakTown
"Digital content has grown in all forms and new standards have put even more of a burden on storage. Lossless codecs and raw material have grown in size and a computer’s ability to access the data quickly is even more challenging than it was ten years ago due to the sheer volume of data needed. Back in the day a few 18GB X15’s would do the trick, nowadays the program suites being run are larger than 18GB! The bus width has also changed considerably, Ultra2 Wide SCSI at 80 MB/s was hot stuff, but the products we are looking at today are capable of churning data at close to 20 times that rate.
Today we are looking at a product from iStorage Pro. iStorage Pro is part of the Ci Design, a major ODM with over 25 years of experience making products for major OEMs. Recently Ci Design entered the retail market under the iStorage Pro label and currently have over 25 models set to be released."

A-DATA SH93 Rugged Portable Hard Drive Review @ TechSpot.com
While commonly overlooked, regular backups is one of the most sensible tasks one should perform when it comes to personal computing. Without the help of a secondary storage device or some sort of remote backup strategy, chances of recovering data should your computer's hard drive completely die overnight would be bleak at best.
Reliability and durability should also be taken into account. Portable hard drives are just an accidental drop away from irrecoverable loss, so spending a bit more to ensure data safety is a no-brainer for someone as ham-fisted as myself.
A-DATA has taken it upon themselves to deliver such a product with their new SH93 line, bringing the industry's first waterproof and shock resistant portable hard drive. The SH93 was designed for road warriors who need to take their storage with them on the harshest of environments.

Intel Xeon 3450 Processor @ iXBT Labs
"Surely, Xeon X3450 and especially X3440 are more interesting for overclockers than Core i7 860 (cheaper, easier to overclock, demonstrate similar results at the same frequencies) or i5 750 (faster at the same frequencies). This is a curious phenomenon, considering that Xeons are designed for servers and workstations."

Noctua NH-D14 140mm CPU Cooler @ TweakTown
"Noctua, who is already well known for having great performance in their coolers, and at almost silent operation, had recently released a new 140mm fan, the NF-P14. This fan boasts more CFM and lower noise than the already good NF-P12 that Noctua users are accustomed to seeing and using. From previous testing, I can see a bit of room for improvement on CFM, but to do that and actually lessen the noise levels, now this I got to see!
Aside from the noise levels, Noctua “super sized” the cooling capabilities of this version, not unlike the V10 concept, but Noctua saw no need for the third radiator, or a TEC for that matter. The new release utilizes two large fin assemblies and two fans to get the job handled. Knowing what I have seen from Noctua, I am excited to say the least."

Proporta Turbo Charger 3400 Review @ XSReviews
"These days portable equipment is as ubiquitous as vomit in pub toilets, which in turn has meant a general move towards devices that allow you to recharge in-situ. Presumably so as to avoid the need to wipe said vomit from a nearby mains socket, and saving you the trouble of constantly needing to replace removable batteries. It's also standard practice to make just enough of your product proprietary - or dependent on something that is - in order to maximise profit without pushing the consumer too far. This means you can end up carrying around a separate charger for every portable item you own along with the bushel of interfacing cables. Adaptors are of course abound, but it would be nice if more devices came with a selection of common fittings the way the Turbocharger 3400 does. This portable charger gives you the ability to juice up anything from mobile phones to hand-held consoles, and all on the move."

Raidmax SKYLINE Mid-Tower Case @ BCCHardware
One thing I really appreciate about this case is that the HDD cage pivots outward to make drive installation easy. This works very well if you have large graphics cards installed and it would be a tight squeeze to slide the drives in place. The only downside is that there is only room for three drives. . .

SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Performance on the ASUS P7P55D-E Premium Motherboard @ Legit Reviews
"Our testing here today showed SuperSpeed USB 3.0 reaching 135MB/s, which is only three to four times faster than the vast majority of Hi-Speed USB 2.0 devices. This is a huge performance difference and is amazing if you actually think about it. In the seven years that Legit Reviews has been doing hardware reviews seeing a performance jump of this magnitude is often unheard of. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 performance on the ASUS P7P55D-E Premium motherboard was simply amazing and offered a much better user experience than SATA 6Gbps, which Legit Reviews took at look at last month. What is amazing is that USB 3.0 performance should still get better..."
