So… We’ve hit 500 reviews here at DragonSteelMods, that has to be some sort of milestone doesn’t it? It doesn’t feel like we’ve done that many though, time just flies by when you’re having fun eh?

Today for review I’ve got the Thermaltake Xaser VI MX PC Case and it’s got quite a few features that most anyone would appreciate in a PC case. The Xaser looks great with it’s red and black color scheme and side window, inside you’ll find tool-less drive bays for both 5.25” devices and your hard drives making installing your system very easy.

So continue on to learn more about the Xaser VI MX case…

Cellphones have invaded everywhere, pretty much everyone has one from kids to their grandparents, they are by far, the most popular gadget out there today. With the prevalence of cellphones comes numerous accessories and I think the most popular of those are bluetooth headsets, especially when many places have outlawed driving while talking unless you are using a handsfree headset.

Today for review I’ve got the new Jabra BT530 BlueTooth Headset with Noise Blackout and I’ve found it to be a great choice if you’re on the market for a new BT headset. Noise Blackout is just Jabra’s fancy wording for noise cancellation, but it truly works does work, and is a great feature of the BT530 along with ease of use and the ability to play music as well. The BT530 is small, lightweight, aesthetically pleasing and overall it’s a great choice for your BT needs, so continue on to learn more about it…

NEW CONTENT (Software) - ATI Catalyst 8.9 Analysis - XP & Vista

QUOTE: “As we begin to roll into the final quarter of the year, AMD are back again with their much loved Catalyst driver suite, now at version 8.9. In our usual style we’ll be checking out how the new driver suite goes against the last set.

We again see this month that AMD promise nothing in the performance department; I suppose they’re feeling pretty confident with their HD 4800 products against NVIDIAs offerings. With that said, let’s check out the test system and get stuck into the performance comparison.”

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Sapphire/HD_4850

Brief:
Sapphire has engineered their own version of the Radeon HD 4850 with cost and cooling in mind. The card’s new unconventional heatsink looks good and keeps the card cool - far below reference design temperatures. The best of all is that the card costs only $169.99 online which makes it the cheapest HD 4850 available today.

Title:  Thermaltake Toughpower QFan 500W Power Supply Review

Summary: Not too long ago, I took a look at a new line of Toughpower units from Thermaltake that boasted a fancy schmancy frameless fan that promised fantastic performance with not a lot of noise to go with it. Today, I’m looking at the 500W little brother of that unit, the Toughpower QFan 500W.

Come on in and see how it did..

Link: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/617
Category: Reviews

Summary:
A+ Curbic is a simple steel mid-tower case that Tagan will be launching very soon, with four 5 ¼” bays, seven 3 ½” bays yet featuring two 180-mm fans with on/off switch and speed control.

Here is a snippet:
“A+ Curbic is a very simple steel mid-tower case that Tagan will be launching very soon, featuring four external 5 ¼” bays and seven internal 3 ½” bays. This case, however, has some features that make it better than other inexpensive mid-tower cases, like two big 180 mm fans with on/off switch and speed control (one on the front panel and other on the left panel) and screwless mechanisms for daughter boards and disk drives. Let’s take an in-depth look on this forthcoming product from Tagan.”

Logitech V550 Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks:

Quote: Todays review will actually be about a notebook mouse. When it comes to notebooks people tend to want a normal mouse to work with but it might be hard to carry around a bulky big mouse with a wire or big signal receiver. Logitech have solved both of these problems by releasing the V550 Nano Cordless mouse. There is no cord nor is there a big bulky receiver, how have they done it then?

ATI Radeon HD 4670 Video Card Review

Author: Benjamin Sun Date: 09-17-2008

The market for video cards in the under $100 price range is rather crowded at the moment with 9600GT, 9600GSO, HD 4670 and the 8800GT all coming in nearly the same price as you can see from the chart earlier in the review and that’s the main issue with this card release. Previous mainstream cards like the HD 2600 and HD 3450 did not have the competition from other cards in this price point. The HD 4670 is a great card for what it was designed for. The ability to run every game out there especially those supporting DX10.1 means that the HD 4670 will play games with the full features turned on if you want to. ATI says that the HD 4670 consumes less than 75W under full load, meaning that it nearly offers the performance of the HD 3850 in almost every situation without the extra power that the HD 3850 requires to operate properly.

Date: 09-17-2008 By Vlad If you try to hold out for just a few games a year, do yourself a favor and keep away from this one. Mercenaries 2 is a fun game, but it is a game that will be quickly forgotten. Honestly, while fun to play for a while, I already caught myself putting off this review to play other games. Yes, I will have this game installed on my system for a while, but playing it is another story. I’m probably one of the few people to run across this game and not be impressed, but then again, I’m not on EA’s payroll. Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is at best a time-filler. A time filler I like, but a video game that I can’t take serious. To me, this is fun entertainment until something good actually comes along. Sorry guys; but I can’t force myself to give this game a good score. Decent is about the only favor I can hand out.
