Vizo Dual Fan Card at Modders-Inc:

The VIZO Propeller is a sleek package. A nice play off of the aerodynamic "wing" look of the cooler, the blister pack maintains the minimalist approach on frontal information, instead allowing the card to sell itself. All of the pertainent info can be found on the back of the package, which if the front of the package does it's job, the user has picked it up and has flipped it over looking curiously for specs! ;) The packaging maintains a nice contrast of silver and black tones to contrast with the light and medium blues of the card. Turning the unit over (come on, you picked it up didn't you?) you are greeted with all the info on the card.

CPU & Heatsink Lapping Guide at Tech ARP:

Hardware enthusisasts have always looked for ways to keep the processor running cooler. Not only does it improve the processor's stability, it also increases its overclockability. Hence, the use of better thermal pastes, larger heatsinks and more powerful fans. However, there is only so much you can do with air cooling.

DDR2 Memory Roundup Summer 2007 Part 1 at Madshrimps:

To review a pair of DDR2 memory sticks seems like madness or editorial suicide nowadays. Unless you have been living in your closet for the last couple of months, all of you know that DDR3 is upon us. Certainly since Intel launched its new P35 chipset, and with the X38 around the corner, DDR3 is gaining popularity quickly, especially among my fellow reviewers. If you look at many of the competitive websites, one would sometimes think that DDR2 is dead already, and DDR3 is the Holy Grail we've all been waiting for. In the next paragraphs I'll be expressing my own point of view on this newly found Holy Grail, but what is sure is that we've entered what seems to be another transitional period in the memory landscape.

Swiftech MCW-60 at Bjorn3D:

The actual process of installing the water block is the same as any aftermarket heatsink. Remove the screws holding on the original cooler. After gently removing the old cooler clean the GPU and surrounding memory chips with rubbing alcohol. Apply your favorite thermal paste to the GPU and place the new cooler on the GPU finishing up by tightening the screws to keep it in place.

Steel Series SX Pro Gaming Mousepad at Tweaknews:

SteelSeries never fail to impress me with the quality of the packaging of their products and there is no exception here. A plastic clamshell covers your investment as well as a very stylish cardboard sleeve that bares just enough of the clamshell to show you the pad itself.

Apple iWork 08 at TheTechLounge:

One thing you find after you install iWork '08 is that, when you start, you're offered quick tutorials. If you have time, I'd strongly recommend the initial tour of iWork '08, as well as the video tutorials on basic features and, also, the various features that set the iWork '08 applications apart from their competitors. Apple offers a 30 day free trial of iWork on their website. So how do the new versions of Pages and Keynote compare to their '06 counterparts? How does the suite stack up against Microsoft Office for the Mac?

Ideazon Zboard Gaming Keyboard at BCCHardware:

There are many companies that manufacture and market gaming peripherals, and I'm sure many of you have already heard of Ideazon. They are not the biggest company around, but they manufacture some of the most innovative and unique products that we've seen in terms in input peripherals. Their first and possibly biggest claim to fame has been the Zboard Keyboard. This keyboard features a static base and interchangeable keysets. This gives the Zboard some unique possibilities for gaming as well as other work-related tasks that you cannot find in other keyboards. Today we are looking at the basic Zboard package and will show how well it works in Vista.

Samsung SyncMaster 940UX 19-inch LCD Monitor at ThinkComputers:

The Samsung SyncMaster 940UX is a 19-inch standard ratio LCD that boasts a feature you probably won't find on most other monitors: it can connect to your computer using USB. This option is in addition to its standard analog (VGA/RGB) and digital (DVI) connection options. This is easily its biggest selling feature and I feel that it is a valuable feature for someone, for example, who owns a laptop without a DVI output. Typically, these consumer-level laptops will only provide an analog (VGA) output and the result of this is usually less than spectacular. Analog signals have gone the way of the dinosaur, after all.

Samsung HT-TX72 5.1 Channel Home Theater at Bonafide Reviews:

With all of the hype around HDTV's and the high definition market exploding as much as it is, it only seems natural that the home theater market is tailing along not far behind. Of course home theater systems have been around for years but with people buying up expensive big screen displays, most of which only come with "decent" speakers, it only makes sense that there is a want to buy a fancy new speaker system to really get the most out of the experience. Additionally, with modern gaming systems now supporting advanced 5.1 audio output, home theater systems can appeal to both gamers as well as movie/television fanatics. As digital audio and video technology advances we are beginning to see more and more sophisticated devices that go above and beyond their normal roles. For example, the main role of a television has been thought to be simply display a video signal.

Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus Motherboard at Virtual-Hideout:

ASUS has been one of the leading manufacturers of motherboards for a number of years, and is the preferred board of the VH staff. The motherboard under the scope this time around is the P5N32-E SLI Plus, which uses the 650i chipset - a lesser version of the 680i which means a lower retail price. Although this is a newer motherboard using a less powerful chipset, they did make some changes to it and got dual x16 PCI-E SLI support. Another cool feature is the Stack Cool design which helps pull heat away from the components around the CPU. Another heat reducing feature are the heatpipes that cover each of the chipset chips separately. With so many features let’s get on with the review and see how things work out.
