Viewsonic Viewpad 7
|
 “There's no shortage of Android tablets these days, and most of the options available are almost completely indistinguishable. Viewsonic, however, has made smart moves in trying to set itself apart from that cadre of me-too products with the Viewsonic Viewpad 7. The Viewpad 7 is a 7-inch Android tablet with a wider-than-typical assortment of features including voice calling, dual cameras, stereo speakers, and full access to the Android Market.”

Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 600 Watt Modular Power Supply Review
|
|
After the recently tested Cooler Master Silent Pro M500 power supply we have reviewed the modular Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 600W PSU.
In this review we like to test not only the power supply under real conditions, but also the difference between that 80Plus Gold power supply unit and previously tested 80Plus PSUs.
No one like to spend money for too high power consumption, so we want to achieve the best energy efficiency, also for our overclocked PCs.
Let us take a look, if this succeeded with the Silent Pro Gold 600 PSU from Cooler Master.

ASUS EAH 6970 2GByte Review
|
|
With the EAH 6970, ASUS presents its first AMD Radeon HD 6970
based graphics card which has been equipped with 2 GByte GDDR5 memory.
The successor of the very successful Radeon HD 5870 lets us hope for
another superb graphics card with excellent performance not only
because of higher clock speeds. AMD also did architectural changes
which should have a significant impact.

ASUS GeForce GTX 580 Direct CU II
|
|
ASUS' new GeForce GTX 580 DC2 uses a massive triple slot Direct CU II heatsink that increases cooling performance significantly. As a result the card is extremely quiet in both idle and load - quieter than many midrange cards. ASUS has also increased the operating clocks of their design, all this for a small price increase of $5.

Gigabyte GTX460 Super Overclock Review
|
|
With the Gigabyte GTX 460 SOC (Super Overclock) we have a
graphics card in our testlab which doesn't belong to the latest models
but it still is quite an interesting product. The fact that this card
comes with a highly efficient cooler and a huge overclocking potential
makes it particularly interesting.

ViewSonic gTablet Review, Begging To Be Rooted
|
|
A few manufacturers have forged on and released 10-inch Android tablets regardless of Google's hamstringing of it, by limiting Android Marketplace functionality on any device larger than 7 inches. It's a hard line to walk without Google's blessing until Honeycomb is released but ViewSonic has stepped out with their 10-inch gTablet and we've spent some quality time with it. The gTablet is driven by NVIDIA's Tegra 2 processor, comes equipped with 512MB of RAM, 16GB of Flash storage and a myriad of expansion options.

Thermaltake Armor A30 Micro-ATX Gaming Case Review
|
|
The Thermaltake Armor A30 gaming case is essentially an updated version of a Lanbox case. The Thermaltake Armor A30 gaming case can fit either a micro-ATX or mini-ITX motherboard. Since the A30 is part of the Armor case series, it takes on the “scalene” aesthetic of its siblings. The Thermaltake A30 has a USB 3.0 front panel port as well as support for high-end video cards like the AMD HD5970 which measures 13-inches in length. With the rise in usage of SSD drives, the Thermaltake Armor A30 also comes equipped with a mounting area for up to two 2.5” drives. "

EVGA Geforce GTX 560Ti SuperClocked DirectX 11 Video Card Review
|
|
"The EVGA Geforce GTX 560Ti SuperClocked Edition looks to fill that new upgrade spot. The GTX 560Ti SC is positioned to fill that middle performance spot that was once held by the popular GTX 460. The SuperClocked branding from EVGA means that this GTX 560Ti comes factory overclocked. The core clock speed is set at 900Mhz, memory at 4212Mhz, and shader clock is1800Mhz. The technology in the 560Ti adds more on top of the old 460 in terms of processing power. There are 384 CUDA cores, 8 streaming multiprocessors, 64 texture units, and 32 ROP units. The EVGA Geforce GTX 560Ti SC retains all of the newest features like DirectX 11, CUDA, PhysX, PureVideo HD, 3D Vision, and OpenGL technology."

Intel Core i3-2100T and BH67CF Mini-ITX Motherboard Review
|
|
In our launch coverage of Intel’s Sandy Bridge we took an in-depth tour of the platform’s capabilities. But our previous coverage was limited to a higher end member of the CPU lineup with a 95 watt TDP, that made is less ideal for dedicated home theater PC (HTPC) use--especially considering its tantalizing siblings scheduled to arrive shortly thereafter. Fortunately we now have a 35 watt Intel Core i3-2100T and DH67CF Mini-ITX motherboard in hand and will be taking a detailed look at the lowest powered desktop CPU and smallest LGA1155 motherboard Intel has to offer.

"If you’re remotely interested in computers, you’ll know who AMD are. It’s no surprise when you consider they’ve been around since 1969(!), so they need no introduction. Odds are that you’ll also be familiar with the Radeon brand of graphics cards, so today’s review product and company should be known to everyone."
