Title: ArtWizz SeeJacket Silicone Clyde 3-Pack @ TestFreaks
Review Link: http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/artwizz-seejacket-silicone-clyde-3-pack/
Review Snipit:
” A few days ago I took a look at the SeeJacket Crystal case from ArtWizz, today I’ve got another type of case for the iPod nano 4th, or should I say cases. The SeeJacket Silicone Clyde 3-Pack is the name of the product, and it’s three different colored silicone cases in one pack, so you can choose whatever case suits your mood. So they’re silicone cases which means they do offer a decent amount of protection for your iPod, I personally prefer the silicone or rubber style cases as I feel they offer a much better choice for protecting a product like the iPod, silicone just seems a bit more durable than something like hard plastic. Included with the cases is a screen protector and a click wheel protector, so this little boxed set not only protects the outer shell of the iPod but also offer an extra layer of protection.”

TITLE: Cooler Master Sileo 500 @ LanOC Reviews
DESCRIPTION: Not every PC build needs to be a full size case with 15 fans. Sometimes you are just looking for a simple case that will keep your rig cool enough and most importantly keep the noise to a minimum. At CES this past January we had a chance to take a look at Cooler Master’s upcoming silent rig the Sileo 500. The Sileo 500 is finally released and we have the chance to take a closer look at the case. The timing was perfect with the upcoming rebuild of my wifes computer, and considering the focus on keeping everything quite I hope it will balance out some of the noise my computer makes

Title: Thermaltake BigTyp 14 Pro CPU Cooler
URL: http://www.bigbruin.com/content/bigtyp14_1
Quote: Â The Thermaltake promotional material claims the BigTyp 14 Pro is “completely silent”, which just isn’t true at any speed with the included fan. Despite this, I was quite pleased with the performance and noise level at the lowest speed setting. When I switched the stock fan out for a 92mm fan mounted under the cooling fins (blowing upward) things got even better.

Title:Â Hiper M300 300W Media Center PSU Review
Summary: I’m looking at the strange and unusual once more today in the Hiper M300, a tiny little 300 watt power supply intended to be used in Hiper’s Media Center cases. This unit promises plentiful power at better than 80% efficiency, all while being crammed into a box barely larger than a couple of stacked 3.5″ hard drives.

Article Name: Hiper Slim Aluminum USB/PS2 Keyboard Review @ Tweaknews
Article Url: http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/hiper_aluminum_keyboard/
Article Snippet:
“This HIPER offering is a very good keyboard for general internet surfing, email and occasional document creation. If a larger, classier version of a laptop style keyboard appeals to you, then this could be a welcome addition to your home office setup. The construction is solid, the build quality excellent and the keys are nice and quiet during use.”

OCIA.net has posted their review of the Thermaltake TMG IA1 CPU Cooler. Below is a direct quote from the review:
==============================
Guitar Hero Metallica has arrived and allows aspiring rockers to jam along to their favorite music and live out their rock fantasies. Following up the successful Guitar Hero World Tour, Guitar Hero Metallica offers 28 Metallica classics as well as 21 other songs from artists such as Diamondhead, Samhain and Mercyful Fate who are credited as major influences to the band.
For those expecting the game to be what they have seen before with new tracks, they will be delighted to know that the game has an updated graphic engine that allows for a more realistic depiction of the band and venues and includes many real venues such as the Hammersmith Odeon which is crafted in amazing detail as are the band themselves, right down to the mannerisms.

| MSI 790GX-G65 Motherboard Review | ![]() |
Author: Ben Sun Date: 04-12-2009
AMD’s launch of the AM3 platform is an interesting one from many angles. For the new computer owner the move to DDR3 memory is pretty clear as fewer and fewer motherboards with DDR2 memory support are hitting the market today compared to a year or two ago. DDR3 memory on the AMD platform requires AM3 CPUs. The extra memory resulted in increased performance in 3DMark Vantage and 06 over a slower AMD Phenom II X4 940 using DDR2 memory. MSI has put together a solid package in the form of the MSI 790GX-G65 motherboard, with good features, excellent bundle and very decent overclocking the MSI board is an easy choice over some of the other 790GX boards with support for DDR3.

Title: ASUS EeeTop PC ET1602 Touchscreen PC @ Techgage
Link: http://techgage.com/article/asus_eeetop_pc_et1602_touchscreen_pc/
Quote: All-in-one PCs aren’t new, but an affordable one equipped with a touchscreen is. That’s exactly what ASUS delivers with their EeeTop PC, a 15.6-inch offering designed to give you a new way to use your computer, while living up to the standards that the Eee brand has become for. While it lacks beefy hardware, the under $600 price tag creates a very attractive product.

TITLE: Thrustmaster Run-N-Drive PC/PS3 Wireless Gamepad @ Benchmark Reviews
DESCRIPTION: Since testing computer hardware products is a PC-centric task, I’ve never wandered very far from what I know. But after writing my editorial Year In Review: 2008 Computer Hardware Industry Failure it seemed wrong not to taste the forbidden fruit… so I purchased a Sony PlayStation 3. Aside from the PS3 system, which quickly received an Editors Choice Award-winning Solid State Drive upgrade, I also purchased nearly two-dozen games and a Blu-ray remote control. I soon discovered that my racing skills were lacking… and I needed an edge. Enter the new-and-improved Thrustmaster Ru! n’N'Drive wireless gamepad, model 4160527. Now unplugged and built around the 2.4 GHz wireless radio band, this PC/PS2/PS3-compatible controller takes the Sony SIXAXIS to the next level and adds an optical wheel and under-belly triggers.

InsideHW.com has reviewed ZOTAC GTS 250 AMP! Edition graphics card. Here is a quote from this review:
“NVIDIA continues to use well known system of price drops and remarking of old graphics card models which resulted in “new†NVIDIA products that are better positioned on the market. This praxis had created situations where certain models, like GeForce 8800GTS with G92 chip, have achieved very long shelf life. Model that was presented at the end of the year 2007 isn’t too much different compared to new mid-class model: GTS250…â€

ATARI has done a beautiful job with this game from every aspect. The graphics are great, the sound is great and even the gameplay is great (if you can manage fast paced RTSs). This game is rated T (Teen) for use of tabacco and violence although I’m actually shocked. With all the fire and explosions and people being blown up I find it hard to believe that the ESRB did not slap a M (mature) rating for this title. I guess it was the lack of blood (although when someone gets firebombed there usually is not much blood to spill anyhow.
