Title: NZXT ZERO 2 Crafted Series PC Case @ TestFreaks

Link: http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/nzxt-zero-2-crafted-series-pc-case/

Quote:
“Today for review I’ve got the NZXT Zero 2 Crafted Series PC Case. The Zero 2 is a rather large case, but being large it’s got a lot of room inside for all our your components. This case comes with three fans built-in for good cooling and the ability to add six more for even more cooling power to keep those high end system cool. The Zero 2 is a screwless design so for most of the installation you won’t need tool making the installation fairly easy and painless.  ”

Whoopty has reviewed the Lian Li XB-01 aftermarket Xbox case

Title: Lian Li XB-01 Review @ XSReviews

Review Link: http://www.xsreviews.co.uk/reviews/cases/lian-li-xb-01/

Quote: The consoles versus PC wars have been ongoing for longer than most fan boys can remember, but one of the arguments that has almost always been in the PC camp’s favour is that their gaming platform of choice can be upgraded however you want. Sure consoles can be modded or tweaked, but it normally takes someone who really knows what they’re doing to accomplish either of these feats. Now however, this argument has been turned somewhat on it’s head, with Lian Li releasing a custom case for the Xbox 360; and it looks nothing like the original.

Title: Cresyn CS-HP500 and C750E Headphones Review
Link: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/715
Category: Reviews

Summary:
We tested both the CS-HP500 portable headphone and the C750E earbud from Cresyn. Check out how they fared.

Here is a snippet:
“Having an iPod is not enough in terms of enjoying a great music experience. You should get quality earphones that deliver a high fidelity sound. We got two models from Cresyn: the C750E earbud and the CS-HP500 bendable headphone. Both come with a leather carrying bag, and the C750E has two additional ear tips so it can fit better in any ear size. We tested them for several weeks while walking the city with our iPod Touch (tested here).”

The PC scene is constantly evolving as businesses and individuals make use of next generation products that increase productivity or provide higher levels of entertainment. Bigger, better, faster – these are the insatiable desires of consumers. It doesn’t matter if we’re speaking of gigahertz or gigabytes, the demand endures and companies do their best to crank out sought after new technology.

As we’re currently witnessing, competition for consumer dollars is fierce within respective markets and few can argue that there has never been a better time for those looking to buy. The Radeon HD 4890 is ATI’s latest contender and we covered it extensively at launch. Now, overclocked variants of the video card are rolling out with the goal of squeezing every last bit of performance from the RV790 GPU. Stock heatsinks do well to move the heat from the video card at reference settings, but overclocking the core and memory quickly surpasses the threshold in which those heatsinks were designed for. That’s where PowerColor’s HD 4890 LCS liquid cooled video card comes in. With factory overclocked speeds and increased cooling capability, let’s find out what this card has to offer…

TITLE: Thrustmaster T. Flight Hotas X @ LanOC Reviews

DESCRIPTION: Alright, it’s time to come clean.  You can’t deny harboring some inner desire to fly.  Unfortunately for humans as a species, we have all the the aerodynamics of a rock covered in silly string.  We are resilient, however, determined if you will, to dominate the skies.  Thus we fashioned great metal birds in order to pioneer yet another glorious frontier.  This innate desire to fly, and by proxy, pilot aircraft has translated into our entertainment with the Flight Simulator franchise and games like Tom Clancy’s HawX.  Of course, on terms of reality, navigating a plane with any stock system controller is bunk.  Real cockpits are a literal slew of devices and mechanism all used to prevent the craft from going nose down.  So for a more interesting and realistic flight experience,  manufacturers have been developing special controllers for quite some time, in an effort to simulate as true of a flight experience as best as possible.  Thrustmaster, ever adept as they are at creating desirable peripherals, have a few such products and were kind enough to send us their T.Flight Hotas X to take for a spin.

Title: NZXT Sentry LX Fan Controller

URL: http://www.bigbruin.com/content/nzxtsentrylx_1

Quote: The NZXT Sentry LX fan controller is a capable device that makes controlling and monitoring up to five fans and temperatures rather convenient. The display is well laid out and easy to read (from the right angles), and taking control of each fan is quite simple. While it made a very good overall impression, there are a few things that could use some refinement.

Brief:
The AirLive! WMU-6000FS is not just an access point/wireless router. It can also hold a 2.5″ hard drive and has USB ports to function as print server or network storage device. An interesting device for people wanting to share their documents on a home network without creating a cable mess or having countless separate devices.

NEW CONTENT (Laptops) – Gateway P-7808u FX Gaming Notebook

QUOTE: “Gaming notebooks are typically massive machines that you need to lift weights just to be able to carry it around with you on a daily basis. The large notebooks are typically associated with other things too, like high prices and short battery life.

Still, gamers who like to frequent LAN parties or just don’t have enough room in a dorm or on their desk for a full desktop often find themselves shopping for a gaming notebook. Today we are going to check out the very impressive Gateway P-7808u FX. Once you get an eye full of the specifications on this machine you will wonder how exactly Gateway was able to cram so much gaming goodness into the notebook at such an affordable price.”
