i.TV will shortly be releasing their first app for the iPhone and iPod Touch appropriately named – i.TV.  This app will be the first TV and movie guide for the iPhone and iPod Touch.  At DragonSteelMods, we were given the opportunity to test out the beta client before the public release.  Obviously, since it is in beta, there will be some things that will be different once the client is approved for release by Apple.

Title: Verbatim 160GB FireWire/USB Portable Hard Drive Review @ TestFreaks.com

Review Link: http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/verbatim-160gb-firewireusb-portable-hard-drive/

Review Snipit:
” Today for review I’ve got the Verbatim 160GB FireWire/USB portable Hard Drive, it allows you to take large amounts of data with you and remain portable at the same time. The enclosure itself is plastic so it’s lightweight, and as the name suggests, it can be used with either USB or FireWire connections. The drive come pre-formatted for the Apple file system, but it can be easily formatted to be used with a PC as well.”

InsideHW.com has posted review for Asus M3N78 Pro motherboard. You can read a clip from review:

“It’s been a while since nVIDIA introduced nForce 780a i.e. 750a chipset. These chipsets have GeForce 8200 IGP that offers good IGP performances but still a little bit below those that offer AMD 780G and 790GX chipsets. Also introduced is nForce 730a chipset, as derivative of those and with the same graphics core. nF750a and nF730a are single chip solutions with the difference of nonexistence support for SLi for nF730a, therefore it’s attended for cheaper solutions but with possibility of Hybrid SLi support…”

TITLE: Palit Radeon HD 4870 Sonic Dual Edition Video Card @ Benchmark Reviews

DESCRIPTION: When everyone thought AMD was sinking into a dark abyss, ATI unvieled their Radeon HD 4000 series and proved the critics all wrong. The Radeon HD 4870 is their current single-GPU flagship, and it’s earned a high level of well-deserved distinction. Palit has followed-up this pattern by adding some stand-out features of their own. Benchmark Reviews tests the Palit Radeon HD 4870 Sonic edition video card from Palit.  This RV770 graphics solution offers factory overclocked perfomance and a new cooling solution.

We have just taken a look at ASRock A770 Crossfire motherboard.  While it has two PCIe 16x looking slots, it supports 16x/4x or 8x/8x configurations thanks to a old-school PCIe switch card.  This board comes with basic features such as 8-channel audio and lots of USB2.0 ports, but skimps on firewire and a few other things.  The end result though is a solid board that overclocks very well.  Take a look at our review for all the details.

Title: Sapphire Toxic HD 4850 Review at Overclockers Online
Link: http://www.overclockersonline.net/index.php?page=articles&num=2001
Quote: Priced under $200USD at time of review, this card offers great bang
for your buck. It rivals the once popular 8800GT and it’s safe to say ATI is
making a comeback in the graphics industry. This card comes with a fabulous
set of features and should definitely be at the top of your list when
considering a graphics upgrade on a tight budget.

Title: ASUS Rampage Extreme @ Techgage.com

Quote: When the time came to design the Rampage Extreme, ASUS’ R&D went right to town. The X48-based board proves to be the most feature-packed one we’ve ever come across, and also one of the most overclockable. Aside from the robust design, water-cooled Northbridge and LCD Poster, the board even includes overclocking controls right on the PCB.

NEW CONTENT (Motherboards) - DFIs Auto Boost System (ABS) Investigated

QUOTE: “If anyone has ever made overclocking a hard task, it’s been DFI. Mostly designed for the advanced users, we tend to find ourselves looking at a BIOS with not only more options than you can poke a stick at, but more options than you can poke two sticks at!

Well, it seems like DFI have finally decided to look into this and offer a solution that’s going to cater to a wider audience. The thing about ABS, though, is there’s more than what meets the eye. DFI haven’t just created a process to make overclocking easier, but also a community to bring overclockers together and try and increase the awareness. Today what we’ll do is have a look at how you go about setting up the whole ABS thing and see what kind of performance difference the stock and overclocked results give us.”

Gigabyte GC230D Atom Mini-ITX motherboard review

http://www.techspot.com/review/114-gigabyte-gc230d-atom-motherboard/

Out of curiosity, I recently ran some power consumption tests on my own PC, which admittedly uses the latest hardware available in the market. The results were somewhat disturbing, sucking down about 300 watts at idle, and nearly 500 watts when under load. Combined with a 30″ LCD and a number of additional devices attached to it, things start to add up, particularly the power bill.

But what is the best way of going about building a low-powered desktop computer that still has enough guts to get the job done? Enter the Gigabyte GC230D Atom motherboard, measuring just 17 x 17cm (6.7 inches), this tiny board incorporates an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor and all other basics for less than $100.

You may have heard of the Atom 230 CPU already, built using a 45nm design process, boasting a core area of just 25mm2 and a thermal design process of a mere 4 watts!
