Good day, fellow tech people. I slept in after spending 16 hours cleaning and rearranging all the furniture in my apartment yesterday. I’m now paralyzed for the day, so it’s a good time to get some work done. Here are your links!
Kingston SSDNow V Series 40GB Boot Drive Desktop Upgrade Bundle
Review Blurb: “Kingston has just announced a new SSD drive, while that in itself isn’t that exciting as SSDs have been around for a while, the purpose of this particular drive though is different than others. The Kingston SSDNow V Series 40gb SSD is meant to be a boot drive only with the user putting their files, folders etc on a standard hard drive.”

Cogage TRUE Spirit LGA1366 CPU Cooler
Link: http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1108/1/
Review Blurb: “Cogage is the mainstream arm of Thermalright, and if you have been around aftermarket coolers for any amount of time you know who Thermalright is. The new brand name is an acronym meaning “Computer and Gaming Gear”. Currently Cogage only has two offerings, the MST-140 a down draft cooler for the LGA 775 and 1366 sockets, and the TRUE Spirit tower cooler for the LGA 1366 socket only.”

Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB SATA 6 Gbit/s Hard Drive Performance Review
Review Blurb: “A few weeks ago LSI sent over their first next generation SAS / SATA controller to review with a set of Seagate 15K.7 SAS drives that were also the first SAS 6 Gb/s products to hit the market. I think it is fair to say that Seagate is leading the charge when it comes to these next generation products that will improve the productivity of our daily computing experience for years to come.”

Sandisk Extreme Pro Compact Flash Memory card
Link: http://www.techwarelabs.com/sandisk-extreme-pro/
Review Blurb: “How does one explain a card like this? I know – above top of the line! Or <Greater than? I say this because SanDisk’s new Compact Flash(CF) card line, Extreme Pro, with it’s 16, 32, and 64 GB options, has more speed than we have need… for… sorry about the rhyme.”

Seagate FreeAgent Go Dock+ Portable HDD Docking Station
Review Blurb: “External drives are coming back around in popularity. This return to favor has been due to a reduction in price of high capacity disk drives, better power management for USB devices (needing only one USB port vs. two), the growing popularity of SSD and the move to mobile computing as an extension of the workplace/desktop. As SSDs become more popular, but remain expensive for high capacity models, the desire for extra storage will be high.”

Steelseries Siberia v2
Link: http://www.xsreviews.co.uk/reviews/headsets/steelseries-siberia-v2/
Review Blurb: “As all good companies do, SteelSeries have taken one of their existing products, and made a series of improvements, upgrades and enhancements. The original Siberia headset, already a success, did have a number of flaws; perhaps the most notable of all was the microphone. The V2 should be able to put all this right as well as a few other bits and pieces. So can the Siberia headset be transformed from a good headset to a great one? Let’s take a look…”

AMD Sempron 140 2.70 GHz
Link: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Sempron_140
Review Blurb: “AMD recently introduced the new Sempron family of processors which is based on the current K10.5 architecture and manufactured on a 45 nm process. It was a rather silent introduction, with very few websites reporting the news. Looking at the processor specifications, it’s really hard to find something interesting, whether you’re just a regular buyer or hardcore enthusiast.”

Article Blurb: “Those of you who no longer believe optical drives are essential or own a netbook or similar device without a CD/DVD drive might be left wondering how they would go about installing Windows without one. Relax, as all you need is a 4GB or bigger USB drive, flash or hard drive based.”

Review Blurb: “With only a few months left of this year, there is little time to release new products onto the market in time for Christmas, but Roccat have a few tricks up their sleeves. Back in August news circulated regarding the production of an exciting new gaming mouse – the Roccat Kova.”

Review Blurb: “The dream of true virtual reality has lingered in our gamer heads for a long time now. While no one can really offer true in-home virtual reality at the moment, Nvidia is providing a way to play all of your favorite games in 3D.”
====================================
Army Of Darkness – Screwhead Edition
Link: http://www.ascully.com/blu-ray-reviews/army-of-darkness-screwhead-edition/
Review Blurb: “The cover is pretty awesome, I must admit. I wouldn’t normally like an over the top, bigger than life bullshitty kind of cover, but this one is perfect. Ash, the hero, stands comically hunky, ready for the Deadite army and to defend the damsel in distress. It’s classic, just like the movie, so I take it with the grain of salt that I keep nearby for watching the movie.”
====================================
ANTEC SKELETON OPEN AIR COMPUTER CASE
Link: http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/antec_skeleton_case_review/
Review Blurb: “With their Skeleton case, Antec certainly had their design team thinking WAY out of the box. And Antec encourages its customers to, “Think beyond the BOX,” on the Skeleton’s carton. We’ve got one here in the lab, so follow along to page 2 as we take a closer look at this unusual and innovative chassis from our friends at Antec.”

The Pure PSU range is available in four variants from the workstation orientated Pure 650W, up to the top of the range Pure 1250W aimed at the power user.”

In-Win Maelstrom
Link: http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1693
Review Blurb: “In-Win is back with their latest computer case designed for gamers, overclockers, and of course high-end workstation PCs. While we know that In-Win makes some of the craziest looking chassis’ on the market, it seems that the latest Maelstrom chassis is somewhat more unique in a sense that it’s not too wild looking, and instead of putting too much time into the whole outside look, there are some very interesting and useful features that make this case stand out from the crowd.”

Saw – The Game – The Review
Link: http://www.ocmodshop.com/ocmodshop.aspx?a=1693
Review Blurb: “I couldn’t think of a better game to review on the eve of Halloween than one based on torture devices and cringe-inducing deaths at the hands of the infamous Jigsaw killer. Zombie Studios and Konami, the marvelous guys behind Silent Hill, have brought the Saw series to life in the third-person survival horror game SAW. I’m kind of glad they didn’t do some ridiculous spin on words for the title. Those three little letters are still enough to send shivers down our spines when we think of all the painful ways that the creators of the Saw franchise have come up with to kill those undeserving of the lives they were given.”
