Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500 DDR2 2GB Memory Kit at ThinkComputers:

On the left side of the modules there is a neon red sticker that has the batch number of the modules. These are actually kind of hard to get off; I wish crucial would have made the stickers smaller. If you flip the modules over there is another smaller sticker that has the memory's model number on it.

Antec MX-1 eSATA & USB 2.0 HDD enclosure at techPowerUp:

Antec includes a plastic handle, so you can easily carry it home from your place of purchase. Two clear stickers hold the cardboard box shut. Once these are cut, the clean inside packing method is the first thing you will notice. Antec has placed the enclosure itself in a thin foam bag, with foam spacers at either end. A thin cardboard sheet creates a second compartment in which all the extras are placed.

Antec Sonata III PC Case at DragonSteelMods:

The third chapter in the Quiet Computing story written by Antec—it’s everything you’ve come to expect from the prestigious Sonata line with even more upgrades and improvements. The Sonata III is whisper quiet when it comes to system noise while with the new High Definition front audio ports the sound you want your system to make will be crystal clear. And the front eSATA connector allows for simple data transfer. It’s all powered by EarthWatts 500 Watt power supply unit (PSU) which is equipped with universal input and Active PFC. This PSU is also 80PLUS certified making it one of the most efficient PSU’s available. And all that means the Sonata III is the perfect combination of style, silence and efficiency.

Gigabyte 3D Galaxy II at techPowerUp:

When GIGABYTE designed the pump, they also included the reservoir to make it an all-in-one solution. This cuts down on the amount of piping that is needed, and the amount of space the unit needs to be installed. The pump is rated for 400 l/hr, producing a mere 20 dBA of noise. It runs off of 12 VDC and has a life expectancy of 70000 hours. A very good safety precaution has been built into the unit as well - If the unit gets too low on water or too hot, an alarm sounds, and it can also shut down your system to prevent overheating and a permanent shut down.

Ultra X3 1000W Modular Power Supply at 3dGameMan:

What separates the Ultra X3 1000W Modular Power Supply from the many other's that are on the market is it's completely modular. Some power supplies within the 1000W range claim to be modular, but the main motherboard leads are still hard wired into the power supply. This power supply comes with a very quiet 135mm fan which provides fantastic cooling and means this it can be used in almost any environment. I also like the fact that the Ultra X3 line of power supplies ranges from 600 watts to 1600 watts. So the user can pick a model for their power requirements. Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the end.

Akasa AK-876 AMD Athlon64 Heatsink at FrostyTech:

The whole package weighs around ~520 grams, and is compatible all AMD Athlon64 processor heatsink retention frames - 754/939/940 & AM2 - because it relies on the center lug only. Akasa have made it so the clip is non-removable, which may cause problems on some motherboards with oddly oriented CPU sockets... It's always best to have the heatsink blowing towards the rear of the PC chassis, but I suppose 'up' is almost as good.

Confessions of a console convert at The Tech Report:

Reviewing hardware is a sweet gig for a PC gamer. There's never a shortage of fancy graphics cards or fast new processors to liberate from test systems for gaming sessions, and you can even justify some gaming time as professional development, or something. But over time, spending countless hours benchmarking left me less and less eager to spend even more time in my office playing games. The cooler confines of my living room beckoned, along with the comfort and slouching potential of my couch, and I timidly tip-toed over to the dark side by picking up an Xbox.

Gainward BLISS 8600 GTS 256MB GS Edition at MVKTech:

When we look back at the G80 chip, we could definitely say it was a great improvement over the previous G71 core adding quite some complexity and advance logic. The G80 core was a completely new design dedicated to the unified shader environment that the new DirectX 10 has somehow enforced. That means that you can't speak about fixed vertex, pixel or texture units but these are now combined in what NVIDIA calls stream processors. Each stream processor is capable of being dynamically allocated to vertex, pixel, geometry or physics operations for the utmost efficiency in GPU resource allocation. With the G84 chip, the same logic is applied but in a reduced, tweaked application.

Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 (and Turbo Module) at XtremeComputing:

The cooler itself as you can see from the picture above is very large, you can tell this just from the size of the block through the grills, one thing that was already pretty impressive was the weight. Even though the cooler covers a large area it is actually quite light, and with four large heat pipes on the cooler it should be able to transfer a lot of the heat over to the fins. Let us take a look at the block.

ECS NF650iSLIT-A Socket 775 Motherboard at Virtual-Hideout:

As you can see, the motherboard is built on a very dark purple PCB with lighter purple trace pathways all around the keyboard. It's hard to notice the dark purple unless there is light directly reflected off the motherboard and then it looks cool. Anything but green is a bonus these days and it doesn't hurt to use a bit nicer looking, more effective cooling sinks whether green or not. The onboard chipset fan is quite small and a little on the weak looking side. Heat sinks like these aren't great performing coolers of any sort and are often loud enough to be heard. The board is 'accented' by white PCI and PCI-X slots, orange and blue PCI-E slots, as well as purple and orange memory sockets. The color scheme doesn't quite throw out the best looking contrast, but again, isn't just a bland white socket on green PCB. A little color theme never hurts a product.
