Shuttle SDXi Barebones XPC at HotHardware:

The SDXi Barebone kit comes with support for the latest Intel CPUs, up to 8GB of DDR2 RAM, RAID and it is backed by some seriously good looks. On the outside is a custom flamed-out paint job akin to a custom car, while the inside provides the muscle to rival that of a full-sized equivalent. With the SDXI Barebones kit, Shuttle aims to deliver performance, good looks and a compact design without sacrificing features and performance. The goodness doesn't stop there though. Shuttle also works in liquid VGA cooling to help support CrossFire and few other surprises that make the Shuttle SDXi Barebones Kit stand-out from other SFF systems. Read on to see if all of the features, performance and looks make Shuttle's latest barebones kit standout for all the right reasons.

Antec "Performance One" P190 Enclosure at TweakTown:

Another feature that we have covered is the soundproofing material used in this case. This material is used on both side panels and is meant to help keep the noise from escaping to the outside world. While this isn’t a totally silent enclosure, the amount of noise is certainly minimal when considering the amount of airflow being moved around. With fans on the LOW setting, I can barely hear them running. Even with all fans set to HIGH, the noise is far less than the noise made from the high-end graphics cards being sold today.

Lenovo ThinkPad X61 and X61s Notebooks at XYZ Computing:

Overall, not a lot has changed from the X60. The system is still the same old 12" ultraportable that so many road warriors have come to appreciate, it still has that conservative ThinkPad styling, and- you guessed it- still no optical drive. There is good news though because changes were made inside the system. The biggest move was an upgrade to the notebooks' platform as the new systems use Intel's Centrino Duo technology. This platform, which affects the wireless, chipset, and processor, is also known as "Santa Rosa" and marks an appreciable evolution in notebook design. Another change is that the processors were upgraded. While the X60 moved up from one set of Core 2 Duos to another, the X60s had a major change as it moved from a Core Duo process up to the new Core 2 Duo line. The X61s still uses an ultra low voltage processor, in our case the L7500 (1.6GHz), but the move to Core 2 Duo should have a nice impact on performance, or at least a more significant than that see on the X61.

DLO HomeDock Music Remote at Techware Labs:

Having an iPod is one of the great entertainment items that is widely enjoyed today, walking about, at work, in our car and in our homes. For most, this experience has been a lone affair as the sound is transmitted through ear bud headphones which does not facilitate sharing the sweet sounds with others nearby in get together parties. This is all about to change as Digital Lifestyle Outfitters (DLO) has produced a series of products for the ipod audiophile to enjoy their music and to allow others to enjoy it with them. One of these products, the DLO HomeDock Music Remote, allows you to wirelessly control your ipod while it simultaneously serves to charge your ipod and also the remote when the remote is not being used, piping the sounds to your stereo's speakers for all to enjoy.

Galaxy GeForce 8600 GTS video card at Tech ARP:

However, it does not make use of the same G80 GPU as the GeForce 8800 GTX. It uses the newer and smaller G84 GPU. The G84 packs only 289 million transistors, a pittance compared to the 681 million transistors in the G80. Throw in the smaller 80 nm process technology and you have a much smaller and cooler chip than the G80 behemoth.

Zalman ZM-MFC2 Fan Controller at 3dGameMan:

This product was shipped in a cardboard box with lots of foam so it was well protected. This product arrived safe and sound with no damage. This is not surprising because Zalman pride themselves on industry leading secure packaging. Obliviously it's beneficial for both Zalman and their customers that products safely arrive to their intended location. On the front of the product box is a summary about the product and on the back there's more detailed info. Notice that there's tape on the box. This security deal ensures that the product has not been opened. If it is opened I would recommend contacting Zalman for a replacement because it might have been tapered with.

Camera Armor at MetkuMods:

The kit, priced between 50 USD and 60 EUR, is available for several camera bodies (8:th June 2007, available for Canon: 30D, Rebel XTi/400D, 5D; Nikon: D70(s), D80, D200, D40 and Sony A100) and includes an armor for your camera as well as a Lens Armor. A nice touch in the package is a polycarbonate lens shield for the LCD in the back, included in all models - even Canon ones. I guess it's good to point out that I have reviewed only the black 'Armor (choices are black, smoke and camouflage), made for the Nikon D200, thus my opinions might be void when it comes to other camera models.

Samsung Q70 notebook at TrustedReviews:

Our sample came complete with an Intel Core 2 Duo T7300, this is one of the new Santa Rosa processors and sports a clock speed of 2.0GHz, 2MB L2 Cache and an 800MHz front-side bus. This is supported by 2GB 667MHz DRR2 RAM, a 160GB 5,400rpm SATA hard drive and an nVidia 8400M GS with 128 MB of dedicated memory. Sound is provided by Realtek, and as with the Q45 the system is based on the Intel 965PM chipset and runs Windows Vista Home Premium.

ASUS PG221 22" widescreen monitor at Bit-tech:

The past six months has been a transitional time for 20”, 21” and 22” widescreen monitors with a 1680x1050 resolution. This is thanks to some healthy price drops and improved widescreen support in games. The PG221 jumps onto the widescreen bandwagon and is a much needed addition to the company’s gaming monitor range, especially if Asus wants to be taken seriously in the gaming monitor market.

Sapphire ATI Radeon X1950 PRO AGP Videocard at Tweaknews:

The hardware bundle is extensive, complete and has to be one of the best kits I have seen come with any videocard. They supply both a S-Video and a composite video cable along with a small video converter. You also have a high definition output dongle, a mandatory power cable and two DVI to analog video connection converters. Finally, someone has released a card without one of each connection and realized that it is better to have two DVI connections so people can utilize two DVI monitors at one time.
