OCZ 2GB DDR3-1333 Platinum Edition at Techgage:

With all of my DDR3 rants out of the way, the fact is that DDR3 is faster and is the obvious choice of memory enthusiasts. While most companies released DDR3-1333 kits at launch, they quickly seemed obsolete with some overclocks that some were seeing, as high as DDR3-2000. So one thing is for sure, if you want a kit of ram that has loads of overclocking potential, most DDR3 kits will treat you well.


Icy Box IB-266StUS-B External HDD Enclosure at OCIA:

Laptop hard drives are now being used in external enclosures instead of traditional 3.5" drives for a number of reasons. These drives are much smaller and generate less heat and noise than 3.5" drives. Write speed and capacity limitations were once a point of concern for laptop drives, but that is now a thing of the past. Today I will be looking at the Tagan Icy Box IB-266StUS-B, an external 2.5" drive enclosure that offers a variety of connection configurations and flexibility.


Antec TruePower Quattro 850W Modular Power Supply at Think Computers:

Enthusiasts looking for a powerful, yet energy efficient and stable power supply need look no further than the Antec TruePower Quattro 850W power supply unit. Antec's latest series, Quattro, offers the quality and performance users expect from Antec products, with the efficiency required by 80 PLUS certification. Units with this certification are 80% efficient and meet the latest Energy Star standards. It can power up to 8 SATA drives, as well as four PCI-Express devices. Read on for the review of this stylish powerhouse.


Antec P182 Case at Techware Labs:

The front of the case has a double-hinged door to keep the front of the case looking clean and the double hinges assist with durability. The front door is not vented itself, but is distanced from the air intakes on the front by 1/2 inch and there is a vent that is located along the perimeter of the case door frame. This 1/2 inch of vent did not seem to be a limiting factor to the amount of air being pulled into the case (determined by the sound of the fans running while the front door was opened and the closed repeatedly and the internal temp of the case tested). The front of the case also has Audio in and out, two USB and one 1 x IEEE 1394 (FireWire®, i.Link®) port. These audio and USB ports being located on the front of the case have proven priceless for gaming giving you easy access to plug in your MIC and headphones and your thumb drive w/o any difficulty. We would not currently invest into a case without these features as we consider them just that important.


AMD Athlon X2 BE-2350 Processor at InsideHW:

Models BE-2300 and BE-2350 are something of a "low-power" replacement for models X2 3600+ and X2 4000+. While they have higher frequency and lower power consumption, this, of course, isn't enough to beat the competition. AMD seems to be well-aware of that, so this processor's target market isn't overclockers, but office and home users, to whom CPU performance is hardly on the list of priorities.


Eksit Power Inverter at Rbmods:

The power cable is about half a meter long and consist of the cigarette lighter plugin and a two pin plugin that is connected into the power inverter. The cable locks on to the device to prevent accidents or mailfunction.


Sapphire 2900XT 512mb at XSReviews:

At the other end of the card, there are two power connectors: one 6pin, and one 8pin. The 8pin supposedly allows overclocking of the 2900XT however as you can see here, it actually only adds two ground wires (this has been confirmed with Sapphire) and although it might add some extra stability, you should be able to overclock without. A little more is written about that here. We will also test this theory when it comes to overclocking this card.


Sennheiser CX-300 In-Ear Headphones at OCModShop:

The CX 300 pink are high-quality stereo ear-canal headphones with powerful, bass-driven stereo sound for listening 'on the move'. Ear adapters in three different sizes ensure a perfect fit, high wearing comfort and an excellent attenuation of ambient noise. The CX 300 are ideal for use with MP3, CD, MD, or DVD players and many other portable devices.


XFX GeForce 8600 GT 620M XXX Edition at Bit-tech:

Each of these shader clusters has eight texture address units (double what G80 has on a per-cluster basis) and eight texture filtering units (the same as G80). G84’s ROP partitions share the same functionality of those in G80, but there are fewer of them – two compared to six – and as a result of this, the memory bus width has also been cut because each ROP partition has its own 64-bit memory channel.


Sunbeam SyncMaster 245B 24in Monitor at TrustedReviews:

Like pretty much every other 24in monitor, the 245B sports a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,200, which is becoming a very desirable option for a number of reasons. The most obvious plus point of a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution is that it gives you a lot of desktop real estate and allows you to have several windows open at once. But another significant advantage to this resolution over the 1,680 x 1,050 resolution seen on 20, 21 and 22in widescreen monitors is the ability to display 1080p high definition content.
