ECS G33T-M2 Motherboard at HardwareLogic:

INTEL's G33 Express chipset will never be confused with its more desirable siblings, the mainstream P35 or the soon to be released enthusiast X38 chipsets when it comes to all out performance, it does feature, among other things, INTEL's GMA3100 integrated graphics (which includes INTEL's "Clear Video Technology"), HDMI support, as well as HD Audio, making it a very attractive option for those on a tight budget or those looking for an inexpensive HTPC system.

Arctic Cooling MX-2 Thermal Paste at TweakTown:

Not only is MX-2 a new “High Performance” TIM, it is also completely metal free. The biggest advantage to this is the lack of conductivity of the TIM itself. With metallic TIM products, there is the risk of causing a short in the electronic component being protected. Granted, this wasn’t a huge risk as long as some caution was taken, but it only takes but one loss to make it an expensive issue.

Thermaltake MaxOrb CPU Cooler at Virtual-Hideout:

The base of the MaxOrb is polished smooth to help create a more positive contact with the CPU. The base is in two halves, and these halves sandwich the ends of the heatpipes. Those heatpipes, six in total, rise up from the base and create 2 pairs of three semi-circles. The semi-circles of heatpipes, which vary in diameter, sit side-by-side and have a width of the fans blades. This design will allow for maximum air flow over the heatpipes. The heatpipes pass through aluminum fins that form a circle around the fan.

Diamond Radeon HD 2900 XT 1GB graphics card at TheTechReport:

That card is here at last, though, and Diamond is planning two versions: one with a stock 743MHz core clock and 2GHz memory and another, "overclocked" variant with an 825MHz core and 2.1GHz memory. Both offer quite a bit more memory throughput than the original 2900 XT, whose GDDR3 memory runs at 825MHz; over its 512-bit memory interface, the GDDR3 2900 XT has a theoretical peak of 106 GB/s. Our 2900 XT 1GB GDDR4 card is the slower of the two versions, but it still has 128 GB/s of memory bandwidth, well above the stock 2900XT and astoundingly, almost twice the 86 GB/s of the GeForce 8800 GTX.

Akasa AK975cu & AK965 775 coolers at XtremeComputing:

The lo-noise AK-965 utilizes U-shape heatpipes technology for rapid and even heat transfer. A copper base is used for maximum heat absorption; three precision embedded copper heatpipes ensure hi-speed heat transfer and 45 aluminium fine fins for ultimate heat dissipation. INTEL approved power management (PWM) lo-noise 92mm round frame fan provides efficient and quiet cooling. Intel reference push-pin retention is used for safe and easy attachment. The specific fan positioning enhances the VRM cooling (VRM - CPU Voltage Regulator Modules located on the motherboard). Thermal compound is pre-applied.

HANNS-G HW223D 22" LCD at Motherboards:

The 22" LCD as become the new 17" as far as sales prices are concerned, a high-end model still costs around $400.00 the same price as a top of the line 17" was selling for in the 2004-2005 era. This model is actually slowly being phased out by HANNS-G to make way for their new HDMI version, which uses a dongle to go from an HDMI to a DVI connection. This model has not been overly welcomed and users have claimed that the transfer from the HDMI to the DVI causes a loss in monitor clarity. This is not hard to believe as the HDMI connection is made for 1080p viewing and not in the standard signal format that a monitor normally uses. Therefore text would be a bit on the blurred side and web viewing out of its normal viewing aspect. The model being reviewed here today the HANNS-G HW2223D 22'' LCD Monitor, has the DVI and Analog connections and was the one model I saw that had the best specs and reviews in this class and price range. HANNS-G is a partner of HANNspree and the companies seem to share a common parent company, but that each branch is focusing on different angles in the LCD panel business. Let's now see what this monitor is all about and if it is worth your money and does not strain your eyes.

ASUS Blitz Extreme & Formula Motherboards at Techgage:

One area where the board performed well was with overclocking. Though not incredible, both the P5K and P5K3 hit 475FSB with relative ease, though could go no further. Enthusiast overclockers have hit well over 500FSB on other boards, so 475FSB is considered modest by some, although it's far from it. Personally, I'm happy with anything in the ~450FSB area, especially for a 24/7 rig.

Acer AL2051W 20-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor at ThinkComputers:

The AL2051W has a nice big 20-inch screen size. This gives you a native resolution of 1680X1050 which is perfect for gaming is a larger resolution than many similar priced LCD displays. The Hanns-G HW191D that we recently reviewed only had a native resolution of 1440X900. One things that I noticed right off the bat was that the screen was "glossy" like you would find on laptops. I really like the glossy screen on my Dell XPS M1210, but I've never seen a glossy screen on a desktop monitor.

Cirago 10GB External HDD at OCIA:

There are a variety of ways to carry data with you. You could buy a notebook computer and schlep it with you everywhere. That can be helpful if you need processing power or internet access on the move. Not everyone, however, has the extra cash for another computer, or the shoulder muscle to tote around a heavy laptop. On the other end of the spectrum are USB keys. Small enough to fit on your key chain, but getting huge in capacity, these little gadgets can be the perfect addition to your mobile office. Flash drives cater to almost every need, from storage capacity of up to 16GB to bullet-proof encasement (I wish I were kidding).

Kingwin Gladiator Hybrid Cooler at Overclocker Cafe:

Turning the Gladiator 90 degrees we have a view of what looks like a standard air cooler. A large 100 x 25mm fan that turns at 2400 RPM pushes a high volume of air between the cooler's tightly packed aluminum convection fins. The silver "helmet" does more than give the Gladiator a Roman Centurion look, it also helps channel the air along the entire length of the cooling fins increasing the air's velocity and cooling efficiency.
