NZXT is a name that comes to mind when people think about high quality PC cases, but they also make other things as well, that are just as well made as their PC cases…
Today for review I’ve got the PP800 from NZXT, or the Performance Power 800Watt Power Supply, and it’s a great choice for those looking to add a bit more juice to their systems. Some 800Watt power supplies are larger than standard, but the PP800 is the standard size and will fit in any case. The included two fans are virtually silent even under load and the PSU itself is very stable.

Article Name: Thermaltake Armor MX Mid-Tower Computer Case Review @ Tweaknews.net
Article Url: http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/thermaltake_armor_mx_computer_case_review/

Article Snippet:
“Not everyone has the need or desire for a full tower chassis, so Thermaltake took many of the features of the popular Armor case and compressed it all into a very pleasing mid-tower offering. The Armor MX has a lot in common with its big brother including a massive intake fan on the side panel for cooling, ample room for hardware, and solid construction.”

I4U NEWS published a review of the free iPhone game Aurora Feint The Beginning.
Quote from the review:
“Today we are taking a look at a fantastic game for the iPhone called Aurora Feint The Beginning. The game is one of the free iPhone Apps you can get from the iTunes App Store. If this game was something you paid for it would be worth the money.
Aurora Feint The Beginning is a fantastic video game and I would have gladly paid money for it. The game makes great and innovative use of the accelerometer inside the iPhone to take puzzle games and turn them upside down (and side to side). The game at first glance looks a lot like Bejeweled that you might have played on the PC, but offers so much more.”

NEW CONTENT (Casing & Cooling) - NZXT Sentry LX Fan Controller
QUOTE: “Rejoice! More shiny goodies have graced my doorstep this week. This one takes the form of the NZXT Sentry LX Dual bay Fan controller LCD unit; designed with the sole purpose of making my computer infinitely more awesome than 14 yr old neighbours, despite the fact he’ll still kick your ass at Quake/Unreal/Team Fortress.
The low down on this puppy is 5×3pin fan connectors, 5xthermistors (that’s temperature sensors) and 2×5.12” bays of LCD goodness.”

Title: Aeneon 2×2GB XTune DDR3-1600 (AXH860UD20-16H) at Overclockers Online
Link: http://www.overclockersonline.net/index.php?page=articles&num=1871
Quote: The performance was where we’d expect a DDR3-1600 kit to fall. My PC
feels snappier and more responsible. I don’t have the pesky lagging issues
because Photoshop has chewed up more memory than my old 2GB system could
provide. If you’re building a new machine and DDR3 is the way you’re
heading, I would consider picking up the Aeneon XTune DDR3-1600 4GB package.
It may cost more but with Windows XP on the way out and Vista being the
primary Microsoft OS, you’ll want the extra bit of memory.

Title:
VisionTek HD 4870 512MB Video Card @ TheTechLounge
Quote:
Picking out a video card should be a little more exciting than finding the cheapest one on the, er, “shelf” and going about your build. Unfortunately for now, the available 4870s are all stock. Performance and profiles being identical, you gotta check out boring stuff like warranties. VisionTek goes farther than other ATI partners with a limited lifetime warranty, but they really like the limited section.

We have just published our review of the 1000W Zalman ZM1000-HP PSU. In a world crowded with 1kW PSUs, the Zalman unit stands out as it has a 14cm fan and dual heatpipes that help keep it cool and quiet. This PSU has six +12v rails to keep your gear all running smooth and appears to be very stable as we analyze this unit with a Tektronics Digital Scope. Take a look before you spend your cash on a $200+ PSU.

Quote:
The voltage is very solid with the Zalman ZM1000-HP. It starts a little above the rated value and drops only slightly on any of the lines. The highest 12v rail (12v2) drops 0.2v and levels off at 12.2v with a heavy load. The 5v rail stays above 5v at 5.08v - down from the non-load 5.09v. The 3.3v line is even more solid and we didn’t measure any drop in voltage when going from a non-load situation to a heavy 850W load on the entire PSU. . .
