Corsair 700D / 800D Cases Reviewed @ PCSTATS
When we published our comprehensive P55 motherboard roundup back in early April, one of the boards we discussed and really liked was the Asus P7P55D Deluxe. At $220, that particular board was priced significantly higher than some of the other LGA1156 options we considered. Fast forward a few months and we've got the LGA1156-based P7P55D-E Pro on th...

Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB review @ PCSTATS
When we sat down to review Corsair's acclaimed 700D and 800D chassis, we couldn't help reflecting on how much the PC case market has evolved over the last decade. Ten years ago, when we were cutting our teeth on CPUs with code names like Coppermine and Thunderbird, enthusiast enclosures were few and far between. In a market that's now literally tee...

Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive @ PCSTATS
"..As we previously mentioned the 64GB drive is not offering a blazing writing performance. But if you need a quality SSD boot drive and aren't planning on writing huge amounts of data to it on a regular basis, the Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB is recommended... "... [PCSTATS]

Macally G-S350SUAB HDD Enclosure @ PCSTATS
It certainly would be great if as new faster standards came out you could simply upgrade your existing external drive, instead of being forced to buy all new equipment. Seagate seems to agree, as their FreeAgent GoFlex Ultra Portable 500GB external drive is designed from the ground up with upgradeability in mind via its groundbreaking interchangeab... [PCSTATS]

MSI GeForce GTX 460 Cyclone 768MB OC video card @ PCSTATS
When you start to run out of space on your computer, you don't have a lot of options. You can either replace your hard drive, or add another. If you elect to add another you again don't have a lot of options - internal or external? While adding an internal drive negates the need for an enclosure, sometimes this is not an option. If you have a lapto... [PCSTATS]

Cooler Master Silent PRO Gold 800 power supply @ PCSTATS
Another day, another GTX 460 review. This time we take a look at MSI's overclocked, custom cooled Cyclone OC edition. Not only does this GTX 460 have one of the largest heatsinks we have seen in a while but it also retails for a mere $10 more than the reference version. Could this be a match made in heaven?...

Samsung NX10 Mini-DSLR Compact Camera @ PCSTATS
“The need for PSUs who can offer quiet work alongside more power and efficiency is ever-increasing. This trend has been spotted by numerous manufacturers, who have recently presented the market with their own visions of quiet PSUs. Cooler Master can’t be an exception, of course, so they decided to present, besides the already available and ... [PCSTATS]

BlackBerry Bold 9650 smartphone @ PCSTATS
Sporting an APS-C sized sensor in an ultra thin body, this camera attempts to play with the entry level SLRs while at the same time catering to the higher sales volumes of the point and shoot crowd. This particular market segment is becoming increasingly crowed as amateur photographers seek to leave the confines of their tiny sensors in hopes of be... [PCSTATS]

Samsung 2TB EcoGreen F3 Hard Drive @ PCSTATS
"Verizon has sent me over the BlackBerry Bold 9650 Smartphone for review today, and for me itÂ’s treat, itÂ’s my first BlackBerry ever, popped my berry as it were! Seriously though the Bold 9650 is a world phone, so inside youÂ’ll also find a sim card, something which you donÂ’t find on many Verizon phones, but in this case itÂ’s necessary. Included wit...

Zotac H55-ITX-C-E: Stacked LGA1156 Mini-ITX Motherboard @ PCSTATS
In contrast to Samsung's highly visible marketing efforts in other sectors, its hard drives run virtually stealthed in the marketplace. They've long been prized for low noise by SPCR aficionados, however. In response to popular demand, we tackle the biggest of their F3 EcoGreen models. http://www.silentpcreview.com/Samsung_2TB_EcoGreen_F3_HDD ... [PCSTATS]

Kingston HyperX blu KHX1600C9D3B1K2/4GX @ PCSTATS
The Seasonic X-400 Fanless is based on the successful, 80 Plus Gold X-series platform introduced late last year. Company reps say the new fanless PSU was years in the making; ultimately, they had to await the development of a super-efficient platform. It was worth the wait. ... [PCSTATS]

Kingston's facilities in Taiwan @ PCSTATS
"This Kingston HyperX blu memory turned out to be a little bit surprising for an entry-level offering. You can easily keep it at the JEDEC standard of 1333 MHz and tighten the timings to 6-7-6-20 @ 1.5v for a very efficient and lower voltage set of memory, or set it by the XMP profile to run at the rated 1600 MHz speed and timings. You could also t... [PCSTATS]

MSI GeForce GTX 460 1GB Cyclone Video Card @ PCSTATS
"When testing out new hardware at Phoronix the systems are often running in an open environment atop a table rather than nestled away within an ATX case. While cases like the Raven RV02 and Fortress FT02 are wonderful to work with and use, when routinely swapping out hardware whether it's graphics cards or motherboards, it can be time con...

OCZ Vertex 2 50GB Solid State Drive @ PCSTATS
"Our first GTX 460 review was of the MSI Cyclone 768MB. Straight away it showed us what the GTX 460 was going to be about; good power at an even better price. Once we had a look at that we then checked out some 1GB models. Unlike most cards, the 1GB model wasn't just more memory, but it increased the memory bus width while adding some more ROPs at ...

Argosy HV676 MediaPlay USB Media Player @ PCSTATS
"The drive we have for evaluation today is the OCZ Vertex 2 50GB, the successor to the popular Indilinx-based Vertex we looked at a year ago. As you may have guessed, the Vertex 2 uses the SandForce SF-1200 which is now used in several other drives from other manufacturers besides OCZ. But what makes the OCZ drive unique is a custom firmware from S... [PCSTATS]
