Actiontech MegaPlug 200 Mbps Ethernet Adapter at Hardware Pacers:

The Actiontec 200 Mbps Ethernet adapter connects to any router or home networking device through an RJ45 connector on an Ethernet CAT5 cable. The adapter then simply plugs into the wall to allow the network to extend to other rooms of the house through the existing house electrical wiring. Upon connecting the second Ethernet adapter into an electrical outlet a new Ethernet connection is available to connect a computer, game system, or any networking device. These adapters will also work with the 85 Mbps 4-Port Hub and also can expand your network without the need for a wireless Network interface card and without the need for long cables running throughout the house. Simply plugging the 4-port hub device into an outlet will enable an Ethernet adapter to connect with the local network. By using existing power outlets and the wires inside the walls of a structure, the 4-port hub in combination with the Ethernet adapters will extend a network easily.

Thermaltake V1 CPU Cooler at DragonSteelMods:

The V1 features a speed control knob so you can adjust the speed of the fan to your desired setting to find a happy medium of silence and performance or run it on high to get maximum cooling efficiency from it.

MNPCTech Billet Machined Drive Bay Covers at Modders-Inc:

In the top left photo we can see two of the standard 5.25" Drive Bay Covers and on the right we see the toggle version with four ON/OFF toggle switches. Both plates are built of 6061 billet aluminum and come with the four stainless steel tapered mounting screws needed for installation. The toggle switches are sold separately and are available at MNPCTech for $16.99 for four switches. The plates measure in at 5 1/4" x 1 5/8" x 3/16".

Thermaltake Soprano RS 101 at techPowerUp:

At the bottom of the front bezel there is a subtle built-in grill, which has a removable screen-type fan filter behind it. The front bezel comes off with a solid tug on the bottom of the panel, and behind it is an opening for a fan. Although a fan is not supplied, the user can install an 80mm, 92mm or 120mm of their choice. The rest of the front is typical for an SECC chassis, and the stamped fan grill is the slightly restrictive kind. It would have been better if Thermaltake used the more open "honeycomb" design instead.

XCLIO 3060Plus Case at Rbmods:

Looking at the front panel closer, we find only four 5.25” drive bays and the one 3.5” drive bay. Four drive bays are about the minimum I would recommend for a computer case, with the wide range of peripherals available it’s easy to fill those up quickly. One of the drive bays has a built-in CD/DVD door, which provides a nice customized look to the case. Also on the front of the panel are two USB ports, a microphone jack, a headphone jack, and a firewire connection, which are all nicely disguised looking like another 3.5” drive bay.

DFI Infinity NF650i "Dark" Motherboard at Ninjalane:

DFI has always been very good with labeling their motherboards, for instance we reviewed the UT915P-T12 a few years ago that featured a large LanParty logo silk-screened on the back. Sadly this was the only board having this feature; it would seem that most gamers don't have translucent cases anymore. The Infinity NF650i features the Infinity logo and some Chinese characters that we can only assume say the same thing.

Nexus NX-8050 500W PSU at PCApex:

The outside of the NX-8050 isn't flashy and it doesn't have a lighted fan or a window but it does have an attractive flat black finish, a plus in my book. On the front the fixed cables exit the housing and the connectors for the modular cables are mounted to the case. On the bottom you can see the 120mm fan used to cool the unit. On the back you will find the usual on off switch and power cable connector. There is no supply voltage selector switch as this is handled automatically by the PSU. The venting on the back is made up of a very open and attractive honeycomb pattern for plenty of air flow.

Winchip DDR3 1600 MHz 1 GB Kit at techPowerUp:

The question arises if there is a performance increase when using DDR3, compared to DDR2 at the same clock speed. The new memory standard has two big advantages: it clocks much higher and uses less power (voltage) to run. DDR2 currently tops out at 1200 MHz at CL5-5-5 with at least 2.3V needed to achieve this speed. DDR3 on the other hand has been up and running with up to 2000 MHz at Computex. The big downfall at the moment, is high latency of such modules. DDR3 1333 MHz should have a latency between CL6 and CL8, while DDR3 1600 MHz, which is the case with this Winchip sample, runs at CL8-8-8-15 with 1.95-2.05V. Memory modules with higher clock require even higher CL rating to run. Current production of DDR3 ICs goes up to 1066 MHz only, while there is a 1600 MHz JEDEC standard, but the amount of chips that can run at this speed or more is very small. This means that you will have to expect a price premium on these when compared to the already quite expensive, standard DDR3 offerings.

Intel Stock Core 2 Duo Radial Curved Bifurcated Fin Heatsink at FrostyTech:

The stock Intel Core 2 Duo heatsink is composed of two sections - the first an outer ring of extruded aluminum with 24mm long curved cooling fins, the second an internal 32mm diameter cylindrical copper heat spreader. The copper heat spreader makes direct contact with the processor integrated heat spreader, conducting the heat it absorbs out to a larger surface area in direct contact with the aluminum. The copper makes direct contact with the aluminum fin via a toleranced interference fit, so no thermal compound is used here.

Zalman ZM600-HP 600W Power Supply at XYZ Computing:

So, what's the deal with the ZM600-HP? Zalman says "ZM600-HP is ultra-quiet power supply complies with ATX12V Version 2.2, and supports the latest dual-core CPUs, as well as the latest dual graphic card systems (SLI)" so it looks like the type of PSU most builders are in need of. The 600W output means it is not one of the more powerful units available, in fact, it has about half the power of the high power units making all the headlines lately, but if you are looking to build a quiet computer or you are not running two high-end video cards, you don't need a 1000+ watt power supply. Plus, 600W from Zalman should mean 600W, so there is no need to compensate for a supposedly high power PSU.
