Digit-Life Review: ATI RADEON HD 4670 512MB Graphics Card
Excerpt:
“Today we’ll examine new Low-End solutions from AMD, which can provide acceptable performance in most games for a relatively small price. All these solutions and GPUs are based on the RV7xx architecture, also a foundation for the popular RADEON HD 4800 series. For now, in the practical part of this review we’ll focus on the fastest RV730-based card.”

We have just posted a review of the large Thermaltake V1 CPU Cooler. This cooler is available for both AMD and Intel platforms and has some pretty nifty features along with a large, quiet fan to keep things under control. This fan is large and if you’ve got a small HTPC case, you will probably be out of luck with this unit. Catch all the details as you take a look at our review over here.

Review Link: http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/diamond-ati-radeon-hd-4870-1024mb-gddr5-video-card-4870pe51g/
Review Snipit:
“Up on the review block today I’ve got a Radeon HD video card from Diamond, this card includes 1gig of ram to be able to easily play the latest games in all of their glory, but can it? I’ve put it up against Crysis and Crysis Warhead in my testing, running at several resolutions to give you an idea of the performance of this great card. So continue on to see the results… “

Title: Silverstone OP1000-E 1kW PSU Review
Summary: Back in January of aught seven, the founder of this very site pitted two of the biggest and baddest against each other to see which of them rose to the top. Those two power supplies were the newly released Silverstone OP1000 and the PC Power and Cooling Turbocool 1kW.
Well, times have changed since then and the competition has gotten tougher. Silverstone opted to deal with it by revamping their unit using a different OEM. The new revision is called the OP1000-E, and I’ve got my hands on one right now.
Come on in and see how it did..

Title: Sapphire HD 4870 TOXIC Edition at Modders-Inc
Summary: What we have come to expect from Sapphire is that when a top tier graphics card has been released a newer and more powerful one will be on the way and branded with the Toxic name. They have done it again with the powerful HD 4870 by cranking up the numbers and by adding a heat pipe cooling system.

TITLE: Thermaltake Blacx Docking Station N0028USU @ Benchmark Reviews
DESCRIPTION: Every once in awhile a product comes along that makes you wonder why someone hadn’t thought of it earlier. A product that makes so much sense yet is elegant in its simplicity. Today Benchmark Reviews takes a look at one such product, the Thermaltake BlacX. The BlacX is basically a very simple SATA to USB 2.0 adapter. What sets the BlacX apart from the typical cable style adapter is the docking station like design.

NEW CONTENT (Miscellaneous) - Microsoft Explorer Mini Mouse with BlueTrack
QUOTE: “The latest slick offering from the big MS mob comes in the form of a rather miniature rodent, the Explorer Mini Mouse! The little gem is touting the latest all-surface tracking technology as well as power saving features and a sporty little bag, too!
The most important feature of this mouse is its ability to track on almost any surface; this thanks to a new blue LED based technology called “BlueTrack” which works by giving a better image of more varied and non uniform surfaces. This is most appreciated by the mobile users who need their mice to work on a number of surfaces as they move about, sometimes even their leg or a park bench.”
