Hardware Roundup: Wednesday Edition
Aside from a small handful of pink and flowered cases we haven't seen a lot of computer components targeted strictly at women. Today we get a look at the G-Cube Breeze-tini wireless mouse designed for what the company refers to as "the modern woman". Computer cases take the spotlight in today's roundup with two mid-tower products from Cooler Master and GMC along with a full-tower chassis from Azza (you can also check out the Thermaltake Element G case reviewed by OCC here).

Super Talent VLP Registered DIMMs
As server enclosures shrink in response to need for greater densities in the data center, fitting standard sized components into smaller spaces becomes more of a challenge. Super Talent has announced a new set of very low profile DDR3 ECC memory modules designed for blade servers and embedded computers that are only .72 inches tall, nearly half and inch shorter than traditional DDR3 modules. As a result of the reduced height, the module consume 40 less PCB material and weigh 20 percent less as well; that saves on shipping costs and reduces the impact on the environment. An added benefit to the VLP modules is less constriction inside the enclosure resulting in better airflow, an important factor as cooling such densely packed components in a constrained space can be problematic. The VLP modules also include a thermal sensor that can measure module temperatures that enables the memory clock speed to be reduced to protect against overheating. The default clock speed of the DDR3 modules is 1333MHz running at CL9 timings. The new modules, part number W13VB2G8x, are now being shipped and are available from the Super Talent OEM sales force.

Slim PS3 Confirmed
Sony has officially confirmed the upcoming release of a slimmed down PS3. The system was featured in ads from both Kmart and Sears today, revealing both the looks and the $299 price tag. In addition to being smaller and cheaper, the Slim PS3 will feature a 120GB hard drive. The current model PS3 will also be lowered in price to $299, but will likely be hampered by the 80GB hard drive. The decrease in size, and likely change in components, will also cut the power consumption to 250 watts. The Slim PS3 will become available on September 1, and will be accompanied with version 3.0 of the system software. The ability to install an alternate OS will no longer be available, but users will gain the ability to sync with their Sony Bravia television.
