Review Blurb: “It’s my opinion that you can never have enough desktop space, and by that I mean monitors. Using one monitor just doesn’t cut it for me, I’ve got way too much going on at any one time. I went from one LCD up to two LCDs, then three LCDs and now I have four LCD  monitors. I’m running out of space on my desk now as you could guess, but I’ve got a lot of desktop real estate to play with, and it’s amazing how quickly you can fill it up with all sorts of stuff. At any one time I’ve got two browser windows open, Outlook, Zune software. word processor, text pages and folders open with picture in them, one monitor just doesn’t cut it for me anymore.”

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 for Xbox360

Link: http://www.bonafidereviews.com/blog/marvel-ultimate-alliance-2-for-xbox360/

Review Blurb: “Today for review I’ve got the Xbox360 version of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. UA2 puts you in the shoes of 24 heroes and villains of the Marvel Universe. The premise behind that game is that the government is trying to force the heroes and villains to register and basically become their private force, problem is that not everyone agrees with this. Iron Man is heading up those that are for the registration, and Captain America is leading the anti-registration forces and it’s essentially an all out civil war between the two sides.”

Review Blurb: “With new Radeon HD 5850 and HD 5870 models introductions, ATI also announced when and what models will be presented in the near future. Therefore, it was obvious that new generation begun with Cypress GPU, with code name RV870, which continued with Juniper GPU with code name RV840 GPU. With HD 55770 and HD 5750, along with HD 5870 and 5850 models, ATI has covered high and mid range DirectX 11 graphics cards market.”

Review Blurb: “Today we are taking a look at a new Athlon 2 cpu from AMD. They have resurrected the Athlon name and made both dual and quad cores, we are looking at the quad core named 620 today that sells for around 90$. The question is what type of performance we can expect from these lower end cpu´s on the market? Lets take a closer look at what results we got.”

Netgear WNDR3700 Review

Link: http://reviews.digitaltrends.com/review/6736/netgear-wndr3700-review

Review Blurb: “Netgear’s WNDR3700 has all the features we’ve come to expect from high-end routers, including a dual-band radio that enables you to operate two networks on different frequency bands, a USB port for attaching shared storage, the ability to establish a guest network (two, in fact), and, of course, support for the IEEE 802.11n standard. But the WNDR3700 also has a few features that we haven’t seen in any router, including the ability to monitor and even limit the amount of data that can be downloaded from or uploaded to the Internet, a valuable benefit if your Internet service provider caps your bandwidth and charges you for exceeding that cap. Still, there’s one feature that’s missing: The ability to share an attached printer over a network.”

HIS Radeon HD 5770 1 GB

Link: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/HIS/HD_5770

Review Blurb: “Today AMD further strenghtened their Radeon HD 5000 Series lineup with the release of the HD 5770 and HD 5750. Both cards are targeted at the sub $150 price segment. They both use AMD’s new Juniper graphics processor which features 800 shader units, like RV770. Feature-wise those new cards offer the same features that were added with the HD 5800 Series, for example DirectX 11, Eyefinity, support for more than two active displays at the same time and improvements to HDMI Audio.”

Sony VAIO NW Series (VGN-NW150J) Review

Link: http://reviews.digitaltrends.com/review/6735/sony-vaio-nw-series-vgn-nw150j-review

Review Blurb: “Sony builds pretty notebooks, and the VAIO NW series is no exception. The textured plastic enclosure looks fabulous in silver, and it resists fingerprints far better than the glossy finishes that have become so common. While it’s exciting to see a Blu-ray drive in a notebook at this price point ($880), it’s unfortunate that the battery doesn’t have enough juice to finish a feature-length movie.”

Review Blurb: “NZXT is a regular here at Overclockers Online. This company makes products that cater to gamers such as specially-designed cases and accessories. I’ve reviewed a few NZXT products before and have been very pleased with them in general. I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us next.”

ASUS Radeon HD 5770 1GB Voltage Tweak Edition Review

Link: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/24216-asus-radeon-hd-5770-1gb-voltage-tweak-edition-review.html

Review Blurb: “Not long ago, ATI was late to market with their DX10-supporting architecture and it looked like NVIDIA was about to run away with the performance crown. Somehow even after the minor disaster that the HD 2900-series was, the boys in red were able to hold on for dear life until they had products that could compete on a level footing with the best the competition could offer. If we fast forward to the present day, the roles of each company have dramatically reversed with ATI taking its first plunge into the DX11 marketplace while NVIDIA is struggling to find a way to answer.”

XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 Review

Link: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/24204-xfx-radeon-hd-5770-1gb-gddr5-review.html

Review Blurb: “For gamers, the last month has been a dream come true as ATI has effectively opened the floodgates on its 40nm manufacturing process by bringing an entire range of well-priced DX11 cards onto the market. The release of the high-end HD 5870 was quickly followed by the launch of the HD 5850; a card many people are calling the new 8800 GT due to its amazing price / performance ratio. The fun continues today with the simultaneous launch of two performance-oriented mid-range cards: the HD 5770 1G and the HD 5750 which will be available in 1GB and 512MB forms. In this review we will be looking at the XFX HD 5770 1GB GDDR5.”

Rosewill RCM-8163 1.3 Megapixel Web Camera Review

Link: http://www.ocmodshop.com/ocmodshop.aspx?a=1690

Review Blurb: “It is amazing to me that portable webcams with decent picture quality at an affordable price are still hard to find these days. For customers such as traveling business men/women and broke college students; catching up with customers, bosses, significant others, or that hot fling is an essential part of everyday life. The Rosewill RCM-8163 webcam provides these consumers with a good product at a very reasonable price.”

OcUK Titan Goliath Desktop Review

Link: http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews.php?/misc_content/ocuk_titan_goliath_desktop_review/1

Review Blurb: “Overclockers UK is a well established e-tailer that have recently begun to offer wider ranges of prebuilt and also “built to order” systems, positioning their offerings squarely at the big guns of the industry from the entry level/business segment all the way to the niche gaming and home theatre computing segments. Boasting the use of purely “quality” parts, plenty of choice and an on-site technical support team, Overclockers UK believe they have exactly what it takes to establish a brand of high reputation. Today however, we have been given the opportunity to place one of their systems in the spotlight…it seems like a good’un…meet the OcUK Titan Goliath Core i7 Desktop Computer.”

XFX HD 5750 Review

Link: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/xfx5750/

Review Blurb: “After the first wave of cards from when AMD changed from the 4-series to the 5-series, the second wave came. AMD presents the ATI HD 5770 and 5750 as targeted to the midrange graphics market and fall in line under the ATI HD 5870 and 5850. Stock designs of the 5750 have them built on 40nm fabrication just as the other 5-series, with memory sizes up to 1GB combined with a 128-bit memory bus. Stock speeds are set at 700MHz for the core and 1150MHz for the memory. The new video cards support some exciting new features – ATI Eyefinity and Microsoft’s DirectX 11. The cards also idle exceptionally well at 150MHz core and 300MHz memory when they are not under load, providing great energy savings.”
