Title: Antec Skeleton Case Review
Link: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/637
Category: Reviews
Summary:
Skeleton is a very different case from Antec, being completely opened for a better airflow. You are going to either love it or hate it. See why.
Here is a snippet:
“It is impossible to be indifferent to Skeleton. It uses a complete different design, being completely opened for a better airflow. Our news editor, Cássio Lima, thinks it looks like a portable stove. We think it looks like a spider. This is one of the unusual products that you will either love it or hate it. Unfortunately we are in the second group. Find out why.”

InsideHW.com has posted article about Asus P6T Deluxe motherboard based on X58 chipset with Nehalem processor. You can read a clip from review:
“It’s been awhile since rumors about new Intel’s platform had started or more precisely about new processors with code name Nehalem and X58 controller logic. We managed to provide one Nehalem processor, for a very short time period, and we paired it with Asus P6T Deluxe motherboard based on X58 chipset. New motherboard, new chipset and new CPU architecture! Short time that we had for testing didn’t allow us to test all details of new CPU (just few benchmark results) but we had enough time to do a proper motherboard test…”

| Palit HD 4870 512MB Video Card Review |
 |
Author: Doc Overclock: 10-24-2008
The positives of this card are many. With the updated Catalyst 8.9 drivers and the higher clock speed of the overclock button, this card can compete well against the ATI 1GB cards, with the increased memory not coming into play unless you use higher resolutions AA and AF settings. 8X AA and 16X AF is where the 1GB Framebuffer shines. Otherwise the Palit card beats the ATI reference 1GB card across the board when it is in overclocked mode.

Known for its cases, NZXT released their first gaming-grade mouse, called Avatar. Is it any good? Find out reading our test.

Title: Sapphire Radeon HD 4550 512MB @ Phoronix
Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12998
Summary: “Over the past few months we have looked at several Sapphire graphics cards including the Radeon HD 4670, Radeon HD 4850 Toxic, Radeon HD 4870, and Radeon HD 4870 Toxic Vapor-X. All of these cards have performed quite well on Linux with the Catalyst Linux driver and there is even open-source support for these R700 series graphics cards, except that goes without any hardware acceleration at this time. The graphics cards introduced up to this point though haven’t exactly been cheap, but ATI has now introduced their low-end graphics cards for the Radeon HD 4000 series. With Sapphire being a key ATI partner, they have of course introduced news models accordingly. What we have our hands on today is the Sapphire Radeon HD 4550 512MB, which is a PCI Express graphics card that retails for a mere $50~60 USD.”
