So you didn’t quite get your fix of tech-related reviews and news from that last post’s linked goodness?  That’s fine by me – I’ve got more awesome stuff for you to take a look at right now.

This bundle has gaming headsets, motherboards, power supplies, and other fancy stuff you to dip your toes into, grab a lemonade and have a nice warm geek bath.

Gelid Silent Spirit CPU Cooler

Link: http://www.modders-inc.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=293

Review Blurb: “Today we are going to be looking at a budget minded CPU cooler aimed at the smaller form factor builds. Low profile silent coolers, which are built to be silent, are generally targeted toward the HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer) and SFF (Small Form Factor) crowds due to the tight space constraints in the chassis. The Gelid Silent Spirit is slightly larger than a stock OEM cooler plus it utilizes four heat pipes. Will the Gelid Silent Spirit have what it takes to compete with the OEM cooler variants?”

Preview Blurb: “SteelSeries was on hand at PAX 09 to show off their new gaming mice, the Kinzu optical mouse and Xai laser mouse.  These mice are superior to the Ikari in some respects, but some users will still prefer the Ikari for its comfortable shape.”

Zalman CNPS10X Quiet & Extreme CPU Coolers

Link: http://www.ocia.net/reviews/zalman10x/page1.shtml

Review Blurb: “True to their company slogan “leading the world of quiet computing solutions”, Zalman identifies each of their silent CPU coolers with CNPS in the model number. CNPS stands for Computer Noise Prevention System, which Zalman uses to indicate which components they offer as being “noiseless”. This CNPS model naming can be found on all of their horizontal orb-style heatsinks of the 7×00 and 8×00 series, as well as the vertical oriented 9×00 line of coolers. We reviewed one of these coolers, the CNPS9300 AT just last year.”

PC350 Gaming Headset

Review Blurb: “The headset is nice and comfortable, and doesn’t put too much pressure on the head.  The earcups can also twist around, so they can sit on your shoulders if you put the headset around your neck.  The microphone is incredibly easy to bend, and has a wide angle of movement.”

OCZ Z-Series Z1000M 1000W ATX PSU

Link: http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews.php?/power_supply/ocz_z-series_z1000m_1000w_atx_psu/1

Review Blurb: “Back at the beginning of 2008 PSU efficiency organisation 80PLUS revised their certification program to include three new standards on top of the original 80PLUS (80%+) certification. The Gold, Silver and Bronze levels introduced new efficiency targets for PSU manufacturers to meet in an effort to reduce global energy consumption in PC’s and other devices. While none of these new certifications were by any means mandatory the PSU market (in terms of PC’s at least) is immensely competitive, and having a PSU certified to one of these new standards would be a sure-fire way to attract the energy conscious consumer who is looking to save money on their electricity bills while also doing their little bit for the planet.”

Review Blurb: “Today I am going to check out the WildCharge system for the Apple iPhone. I have been eyeing this system since it first debuted for the iPhone. When using the WildCharger Bundle for iPhone you no longer have to connect your iPhone to that Apple charge and sync cable to get juice. All you need to do is lay the phone down with the slick case attached. Read on for all of the details.”

====================================

BIOSTAR TA785GE

Link: http://www.insidehw.com/Reviews/Motherboards/BIOSTAR-TA785GE.html

Review Blurb: “BIOSTAR is one of the biggest manufacturers when it comes to AMD base small factor motherboards. This model is based on AMD 785G chipset, has 128MB Sideport memory and supports CPUs with TDP up to 125W. However, before we sink our teeth into this motherboard let’s reflect on AMD 758G chipset and its market position.”

NORCO RPC-4020 4U Rackmount Server Case

Link: http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=325&Itemid=61

Review Blurb: “With the RPC-4020 Norco has tried to bring something new to the area of high-density rack mount storage cases, affordability.The question, of course, is what did they sacrifice in order to get that low price. As someone who takes their storage seriously this case came from heaven, but it does hold a few surprises for the unwary. So, let’s take a look at what this case has to offer.”

====================================

Seagate BlackArmor WS110

Link: http://lanoc.org/reviews/seagate-blackarmor-ws110/

Review Blurb: “Over the last few weeks we have taken a look at a variety of Seagate external solutions. Another big part of their business is workstation or business class products. Because of that its no shocker that they have an entire line just for that, it’s called BlackArmor.  BlackArmor stands out from the FreeAgent line with a all black product line, business grade software, and high quality hard drives all designed specifically for business applications. Today I will be taking a look at the BlackArmor WS110 3.5 inch workstation external drive. How well will it compare to their FreeAgent line of externals?”

NZXT has come up with some great designs recently in everything from laptop coolers to fan controllers, as well as a new line of cases with the gamer and enthusiast in mind. The promotional image below shows an overview of the case that we’ll be running through the paces.”
