Gigabyte GeForce 8600GT 256MB at Phoronix:

Aside from the Silent-Pipe II found on the Gigabyte GeForce 8600GT (GV-NX86T256D), this G84 GPU also supports OpenGL 2.0, Microsoft DirectX (permitting you are a Microsoft Windows user), 256MB of GDDR3 video memory, NVIDIA SLI support, PureVideo technology, and two dual-link DVI-I with HDTV output support. The Gigabyte 8600GT is also RoHS compliant. The NVIDIA 8600GT is positioned between the GeForce 8500GT and 8600GTS as one of their midrange components in the GeForce 8 series.


Arctic Cooling Turbo Module VGA Cooler Add-on at Rbmods:

Opening the package, the module is easily extracted from the package. What you see in the package is basically what you get; there are two fans connected by wires and a 3-pin fan power connector. There is also a 3-to-4 pin adapter, which I found is necessary since the length of the 3-pin connector a little on the short side. If you have to plug it into the motherboard, you might have some cable length issues.


Alienware Aurora m9700 17-inch Notebook at TheTechLounge:

We use one synthetic test, 3DMark06, and a series of games to test video cards. Note that we only test 3DMark06 for kicks, and the resulting scores don?t factor into our review whatsoever. We try to use our own timedemos whenever possible, but will use the in-game timedemo or record a few minutes of gameplay using FRAPS if that's not an option. The games are Half-Life 2: Episode One, F.E.A.R., Company of Heroes, Prey, and Need For Speed: Most Wanted. All benchmarking results are the average of at least three runs of each game at each different setting.


TRENDnet TEW-631BRP Router & TEW-621PC PC Card at HotHardware:

The TRENDnet TEW-631BRP Firewall Router is a light blue unit that is low profile and very light. Compared to a Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router, the TRENDnet TEW-631BRP Firewall Router feels like it's half the weight. And as a side note, we also noticed that it runs a bit cooler too. On the front are a number of lights to indicate the device's status. Starting at the left is a Power light followed by four LAN lights which coincide with the four 100Mbps ports on the rear of the router. Those are followed by a WAN and WLAN light which indicate an internet connection and that a wireless connection exists, respectively.


Cirago CST2010 Smart Mobile Storage at OCModShop:

Cirago Smart Mobile Storage is the best solution for your flash memory card(s). Compatible with PC and Mac, Smart Mobile Storage is ready to travel with you and your digital camera. This device supports a wide variety of flash cards and allows the transfer of photos, data, music and movies to the storage device by one simple touch button.


PNY D22GX93XLP-5 XLR8 Performance Edition 2GB PC2-9384 Memory at PCStats:

PNY new XLR8 Performance Edition dual channel DDR-2 memory kit promises to match the best of what is available on the market right now. PCSTATS has already showed you what the PNY's XLR8 D22GX85XL-5 RAM is capable of, now it's time to flush out the companies D22GX93XLP-5 XLR8 memory kit.


A-DATA PD18 Flash Drive 2 GB at techPowerUp:

A-DATA has used aluminum as the primary material for the PD18. This is better than the plastic of the PD17. The front features the A-DATA logo in a prominent black while the back is clean. The color of the aluminum is of very high quality, while the plastic ends are actually black material, so you will not have to worry about anything peeling off. The PD18 is a bit thicker than the PD17, but this is due to the full size USB 2.0 connector.


Corsair Survivor GT 8Gb Flash Drive at Techware Labs:

The first thing we decided to do was put the Survivor GTs water resistance to the test. While we don't have 200m to test in, we at Techwarelabs are fairly sure the only water your flash drive should see is a pool, sink, bathtub, washing machine, or toilet. We opted to filling up a bucket as high as it would go (approximately 13in. or 0.3302m). We left it under water for 2 minutes, and when we took it out, it was completely dry. While we understand that we tested 1/606 of the suggested depth, we feel content.


AirLive WMU-6500FS WiFi HDD & Downloader at techPowerUp:

You will find a CD and Manual, as well as normal screws to mount the hard drive inside a clear plastic bag. The manual is actually just a quick install guide, to aid you with the setup of the device within your network, but does not cover any configurations for the web interface. That is part of the user guide found on the CD. A standard 2 dbi antenna is also included. This is the same type you will find on most wireless routers. It utilizes a reverse polarity SMA connector. This means that you can purchase a larger, stronger antenna and connect it to the WMU-6500FS if needed. A plastic stand in the same color as the front and back of the enclosure itself, rounds up the contents.


Cooler Master Aquagate S1 at OCIA:

Needless to say, a full, high quality water cooling system will undoubtedly run you a few hundred dollars. The average high-end PC owner either isn’t ready to drop that much more money over an air cooler or doesn’t need to cool anything except their CPU. And even among those who do have the dough and the desire, it takes a special person to take that leap of faith to a custom water kit, with so much room for mistake and ruining your beloved computer.
