PowerColor HD 6970 Devil 13 2 GB @ techPowerUp
|
 PowerColor`s HD 6970 Devil 13 is a brand-new premium class Radeon HD 6970 which comes with the highest clocks available on any HD 6970 card. The Devil 13 also includes voltage monitoring points for voltmodders and a high quality power conversion system. But is that enough to justify a price of $549?"

Patriot Torqx 2 128GB SATA II SSD Review @Hi Tech Legion
|
|
Well known and respected memory manufacturer Patriot has released a new generation to their SSD lineup with the Torqx 2 128GB SSD front and center. The Patriot Torqx 2 128GB SSD follows the traditional 2.5 form factor, but bucks tradition in many other ways going straight for the cutting edge while keeping pricing in the mainstream. 128GB is often considered the price/size sweet spot for SSD drives, allowing ample room for OS and applications which will take advantage of the speed of the drive."

Icy Dock MB882HX-1SB SATA II SSD Xpander Hybrid Adapter Review @ Hi Tech Legion
|
|
Icy Dock MB882HX-1SB 2.5? SATA SSD Xpander Hybrid Adapter can bring new life to your previous generation SSDs. The MB882HX-1SB 2.5? SATA SSD Xpander Hybrid Adapter can double the sequential transfer rate of the HDD in the hybrid partition when paired with a moderate or 2nd generation 2.5? SSD. Once installed, the MB882HX-1SB Xpander Hybrid automatically creates two partitions: an SSD Hybrid partition equal to twice the size of the SSD inside the adapter and a useable storage partition equal to the size of the HDD minus the SSD Hybrid partition. The MB882HX-1SB Xpander Hybrid works with any 2.5? SSD drive but for optimal performance, a 2nd generation or older SATA II SSD with a transfer rate of around 250MB/s paired with a 7200rpm HDD should be used."

Thermaltake Level 10 GT @ techPowerUp
|
|
Thermaltake`s initial release of the Level 10 was co-designed with luxury car manufacturer BMW. The second iteration is a boiled down and condensed version that maximizes all the enthusiast wants while reducing the price considerably. The Level 10 GT just might be the best gaming case on the market."

OCZ Vertex 3 2.5 SSD
|
|
Meet the Vertex 3. The Vertex 3 is OCZ`s latest release in the Vertex lineup. The Vertex 3 almost doubles the performance of the Vertex 2 in every way; read performance, write performance and maximum IOPS. I have a Vertex 3 on the test bench today and can`t wait to put it head-to-head with the Vertex 2 and see how well those numbers stack up in terms of real-world performance (after all, that`s what we really want from a drive, right?)."

NZXT Sentry Mesh Fan Controller @ TechwareLabs
|
|
NZXT`s newest fan controller eschews touchscreens, blinking lights, and complexity for five sliders - linear potentiometers. Both elegant and simple, the Sentry Mesh fits in without standing out - especially on the many cases with steel mesh front panels."

SilverStone Strider Gold 750W Power Supply Review at Overclockers Online
|
|
The Strider Gold 750W does have a quite a bit of good points going for it and a few excellent ones, namely: efficiency and some pretty decent line regulation on the 12V rail (which reasonably, we care quite a bit more for than the 5V rail). The unit is also built extraordinarily well, inside and out. Still, while we can hardly discount the fact that the Strider Gold 750W is priced just a wee bit higher than it should, that decision is for the individual and despite priced a tad higher than other units, the Strider Gold is still a solid power supply."

Silverstone Precision PS06 @ techPowerUp
|
|
Stuffed with some cool features, like the hot-swap bay in the front, or the Air Penetrator fan in the top, the Precision PS06 offers many aspects while staying under that oh so important 100 USD barrier. We take the spacey looking chassis for a spin and test the usability of its long list of features."

NZXT HALE82-850-M 850 W @ techPowerUp
|
|
Till now NZXT had only one PSU series, HALE90, which included only Gold efficiency PSUs. However since Gold efficiency leads to higher prices, NZXT decided to release a new line of PSUs with lower efficiency and more affordable prices, targeting a wider range of users. The name of the new series is HALE82 and all of its members are 80 PLUS Bronze certified and feature a semi modular cabling design."
