Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 EATX at Phoronix:

Cooler Master got one thing very right here with the Cosmos 1000 -- the ports and buttons usually found on the front panel of the case are actually found on the top of the case where it is easily accessible. There are four USB 2.0 ports, one headphone port, one microphone port, one Firewire port, and one eSATA port. All of which are pretty standard except for the eSATA port. This is something we don't see so often in cases; but is bound to become a common feature for future cases in the coming months. There are two buttons, each for power and reset with two LEDs indicating power and activity. If there were anything missing, that would be the lack of the door lock found in many cases. Many people enjoy the little bit of security that a lock on an expensive computer chassis can provide.

ViewSonic VX2255wmb 22inch Widescreen LCD Monitor w/ Integrated Webcam at Tweaknews:

And last out of the box is the monitor. This monitor follows Viewsonic's glossy black design with minimal trim other than a small metallic strip along the monitor's bottom. Although this monitor does indeed have an integrated webcam and microphone, you would be hard pressed to find it at a distance. Viewsonic has done a good job at integrating the features without making them an obvious feature. To most people, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this monitor and a very similar standard model.

AluBoxDuo LAN at Bjorn3D:

While NAS uses regular TCP/IP to connect to the network and share files through file-based protocols such as NFS (popular on UNIX systems) or SMB (Server Message Block), NDAS instead bypasses TCP/IP. While this means that you need special software on your computer it allows for better performance and better security. It also makes it possible to RAID, aggregate or mirror discs in different NDAS-units.

Revoltec Rhodium case at Bit-tech:

The front of the case is quite attractive too, though staff consensus was divided regarding the front door, which also widens out a little from the rest of the case, just as the Zirconium did. What divided opinion however was the mechanism for opening the door. You see, there’s no handle to grab and no place to hook a finger into. It wouldn’t be a problem if the case were held shut by a weak magnet, but instead the Rhodium uses a physical clasp to hold the door shut and it can occasionally require a bit of bullying to open it.

Thermaltake iXoft Laptop Cooling Pad at The Tech Zone:

You know how sometimes you see mall kiosks set up that sell those muscle relaxation pads? The ones with the gel inside so that you can stick them in the microwave for a warmth that will soothe your aching body? The ones that you can also stick in the fridge if you need to prevent swelling on a recently injured body part? Well, it turns out that these kinds of pads are just for your body. They get designed for your laptop as well.

Custom USB Drive - Project: Enter the USB at TheTechLounge:

Once I had successfully freed the USB drive from its lame shell, it was time to think. Whatever am I going to put this little thing inside? And so the search began. I thought about doing a better Lego mod - unoriginal; ChapStick - too thin; film canister - too fat; USB cable shell - too short; gutted iPod - too spendy. Hmm... nothing on my desk was really striking me as a great idea. So the search continued. To the closet! As I rummaged through piles of miscellaneous electronics, cables, and computer accessories, I paused as I held an old keyboard in my hand.

Ultra Products X-Blaster Mid-Tower Case at PCApex:

Looking around the outside of the case you will find a simple design with some accents here and there. The paint looks good and seems like it will hold up to every day use. The front face is completely plastic and houses four 5.25 bays, two 3.5 bays, power and reset buttons, a nice shiny ULTRA logo and vents on the side to allow for good air flow from the front intake fan. In the middle of the Power and Reset buttons are the Power LED (Blue) and the Hard drive activity LED (Green); both are extremely bright, almost too bright in the dark. The case also includes front audio, USB 2.0, and FireWire ports for your convenience.

Antec Sonata III Mini Tower at Techgage:

If you have ever seen one of the first two Sonata cases, you'll immediately notice the differences here (if you haven't already looked at the box, that is). The middle section where the front access door was previously held has been completely redone. The door, which was a major source of complaints in the past, has been shafted in favor of a newer one. Antec seems to have used a different kind of plastic for the front, which gives the front of the Sonata III a smoother feel over the last version, and in my opinion, a bit sturdier build. The bottom portion has a vent for air to travel in.

ASUS PM17 17" LCD Monitor at Gamepyre:

The dot pitch is .264, which is like .26 on a CRT monitor and pretty decent as well. If you do not know this yet, and forgive if you do, a 17" LCD has the same actual careen space as a 19" CRT. So if you are still using that dinosaur big-ole 19" CRT, you can get that same view space with half the real estate in size with this PM17 17" jobber. Maximum resolution on the PM17 is 1280X1024 with a refresh rate of 75Hrz. This is good if you have a year or so older VGA card as well, as bigger monitors require better and newer VGA solutions, such as NVIDIA's 8000 series, or ATI new 2000 series cards. The contrast ratio is 600:1, which is decent, although a bit less than other monitors I have seen. The 500-NIT brightness is quite good.

D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router at Benchmark Reviews:

D-Link's Xtreme N router was rigorously tested and verified for compatibility with Intel's Next-Generation Wireless N, utilizing intensive real-world testing conducted in typical home and enterprise environment scenarios. In Intel's testing process, which was conducted over the period of several months, D-Link's Xtreme N router met or exceeded Intel's requirements for performance, extended range, co-existence with other 802.11b/g clients and access points, and the ability to eliminate WiFi dead spots. The upcoming approval for 802.11n draft 2.0 will include 2.4 GHz legacy networks, but it is really intended for 5 GHz.
