Title:
Crucial Ballistix Tracer Red 800 MHz 4 GB Kit

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Crucial/Ballistix_Tracer_Red

Brief:
Crucial has updated their successful Tracer line-up with the Ballistix Tracer 4 GB Dual Channel kit. Despite stock ratings at 800 MHz with CL4 timings at 2.2V this kit is capable of reaching 1120 MHz stable at CL5 and 2.2V. In addition, the Ballistix Tracer Reds were completely stable at stock speed and timings with only 1.8V, making this a great kit for those with limited voltage options. That said, the entirely red LED accented theme and great performance from these high density 2GB modules is sure to please.

The Kite Runner DVD Review @ Ascully.com

Quote

“The Kite Runner is a complex tale that is eloquently presented. The acting is superb, and the story, while complex, really presents the change in Afghanistan, and the way of life that most may not even know about….”

EVGA nForce 750i SLI FTW Motherboard Review

EVGA nForce 750i SLI FTW Motherboard Review

Date: 04-25-2007 Written By Ben Sun

EVGA has quite a success on their hands in the form of this new 750i SLI FTW Edition as far as overclocking goes as this motherboard excels most others in this area. Offering exceptional BIOS options that are easy to manipulate is a key factor in the success of this product and every BIOS tweaker will be satisfied with the amount of headroom available on the FTW Edition. EVGA only used high quality parts and beyond spec solid state capacitors to achieve this accomplishment and it is the king of the 750i motherboards.

I4U: Hypersonic AG2 12.1-inch Notebook Review

April 26th, 2008 by Kristofer

U NEWS reviews the Hypersonic AG2 12.1-inch Notebook.

Quote from the review:
“Today we are checking out an awesome thin-and-light notebook form Hypersonic called the AG2. This little notebook has tons of performance and power tucked into a small, compact design.

The weight for the Hypersonic AG2 of 4.14 pounds makes it very portable and if it was a few ounces lighter it would be a major force in the ultraportable category. Watching a movie on the glossy screen was fantastic. The colors are sharp and vivid and no ghosting or tearing of images was noticed. The same glossy screen can be a drawback in some environments though thanks to lots of glare.”

April 26th, 2008 by Kristofer

Title: SilverStone Strider ST50F 500 W Power Supply Review
Link: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/548
Category: Reviews

Summary:
Today we dissected Strider ST50F, a 500 W power supply from Silverstone. Is this a good product? Can it really deliver its labeled 500 W? Check it out.

Here is a snippet:
“SilverStone has several power supply lines ranging from 350 W to 1,200 W and we were very curious to review a product from this manufacturer. For our first review of a SilverStone product, we decided to take a look on a mainstream product, Strider ST50F, which is a 500 W power supply costing only USD 67 at Newegg.com. How this product compares to other units from this power range we reviewed so far? Can it really deliver its rated 500 W? Is this a good product for Average Joe? Let’s see.”

AMD Athlon 4850e & 780G as HTPC Platform

April 26th, 2008 by Kristofer

NEW CONTENT (CPU & Chipset) - AMD Athlon 4850e & 780G as HTPC Platform

QUOTE: “AMD has for quite some time provided the most power efficient processors on the market. In fact, the ULV versions of the Athlon 64 X2 processors have been able to draw as little as 45watts, and at speeds of above 2GHz. Now, that’s something even the laptops would love to have running in them, yet they are desktop processors. How’s that for efficiency?

Today we are testing out AMD’s latest addition to its 45watt TDP family with a clock speed of 2.5 GHz; that’s pretty efficient for such a powerful processor with Dual Core functions. Rather than just being a CPU review, today we are looking at the new Athlon 4850e processor as a HTPC component in conjunction with the AMD 780G chipset and Radeon HD 3450 graphics card.”

Zibra Open It! Package Opener Review @ OCIA.net

April 26th, 2008 by Kristofer

OCIA.net has posted their review of the Zibra Open It! Package Opener.  Below is a direct quote from the review:
The design of the Open It! is based on diagonal cutters, better known to people not into electronics as wire cutters, wire snippers, or wire clippers. They are 8.5” from the tips of the blades to the end of the longest handle. The handles are made of high impact plastic, the darker edges are a rubberized non-slip material.

miniSync - Car Charger Bundle from Boxwave for ATT Tilt/ HTC Tytn II

April 26th, 2008 by Kristofer

The ATT Tilt is a great phone overall, but AT&T decided to not include things with it that comes with the TyTn II like a headset and car charger. Headsets of course are fairly easy to come by, and you’ve got many choices with them, car chargers are easy to come by as well and fairly cheap. When it comes to car chargers though do you really want to rely on some cheapie after-market device to safely charge your phone? Why not get one from a reliable source and still not pay much for it?

In my ongoing set of reviews of accessories for the Tilt, the next up would be the miniSync - Car Charger Bundle from Boxwave for ATT Tilt/ HTC Tytn II and it’s more than just a car charger it’s also a syncing cable as well to sync your phone to your PC. This bundle is inexpensive, coming it at under thirty dollars, it includes two retractable cables, one specifically for syncing/charging to/from your PC and one just for charging your phone while you’re in your car with the included high power car adapter. All three parts are very well made so they seem as they will last for quite a while, in my time with them I’ve found them to be very useful and very handy.

So continue on to check it out…
