MSI 870A Fuzion (AMD 770) Motherboard @ PCSTATS
We test and review the OCZ RevoDrive. Pretty much two SSDs slapped onto a PCB, armed with a RAID controller. Pop it in, install the new storage unit and you'll have tremendous performance right of the shelves without the need to configure anything. What OCZ did was done right. They smacked 120GB or alternatively 240 GB of the fastest NAND Flash... [PCSTATS]

BitFenix Colossus Full Tower PC Case Review @ PCSTATS
"When MSI announced the use of the LucidLogix Hydra chip for their Intel P55 series boards it created quite a stir. People thought that this would be the death of the SLI and Crossfire wars. But there was also controversy, as the first retail motherboard to support it was delayed and even the demos shown at CES had some glitches that needed to be s... [PCSTATS]

City of Heroes : Going Rogue - Ultra Mode Review @ PCSTATS
"Being a pre-production first offering from a new company, I was impressed with the Colossus and BitFenix. The Colossus's design and build is nice, solid, and laid out well. I really like the SofTouch coating; it has a very different look and feel to it. Normally LED lighting is not my thing, but the Colossus has an interesting look to it, almo... [PCSTATS]

Gainward GTX460 Golden Sample Review @ PCSTATS
“We first got our hands on a SandForce-based drive when Corsair was nice enough to send us their F100 solid state drive. We were very excited and anxious to see the performance boost from the traditional Indilinx Barefoot drives we had been reviewing for the past year. Recently we have seen many extended capacity drives, meaning there is less over-... [PCSTATS]

Icy Dock MB882SP-1S-1B 2.5" SATA SDD/HDD to 3.5" Converter Review @ PCSTATS
It has been quite some time since we last reviewed an AMD enabled motherboard and much to our surprise not much has changed.

Gigabyte reveals P67-based motherboards at IDF2010 @ PCSTATS
"The Icy Dock MB882SP-1S-1B's function is simple, it converts any standard 2.5" HDD or SSD into a 3.5" drive. The MB882SP-1S-1B was also designed to fit the 3.5" form factor and emulate an actual 3.5" drive including rear connector and mounting hole alignment. This means that the MB882SP-1S-1B can be placed inside a another enclosure or a network ... [PCSTATS]

EVGA GTX460 SLI Review @ PCSTATS
"The overclocking ability of this set of memory was a little disappointing, but still was able to reach 1800 MHz with the stock rated timings of 8-8-8-24. You get an extra 200 MHz of headroom to work with, so all in all, it's not that bad. The memory runs quite cool with the high profile extruded aluminum heat spreaders. The maximum temperature we ...

OCZ Enyo 128GB USB 3.0 External Solid State Drive @ PCSTATS
Considering that the UD7 is one of the top model motherboards in the Intel platform socket LGA1366, it makes sense for it to be priced at around $340. It is not the overall price that causes concern, but the price disparity between the UD7 and its predecessor, the UD5. The UD5, with an MSRP of $290, also comes with 16 Phase Power, 2x Gigabit LAN, a... [PCSTATS]

FIFA 11 for your viewing pleasure @ PCSTATS
"USB 3.0 is being weaved into the marketplace one motherboard and notebook at a time. My last three motherboards have included at least two USB 3.0 ports and my new Lenovo mobile workstation also includes a single USB 3.0 port. Next year we should see the eradication of USB 2.0 all together; a move that I support not only because it will give me mo... [PCSTATS]

HP Mini 5103 @ PCSTATS
"When the AMD Hex-core processors first came out we were able to take a look at the flagship processor, the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T. We also downclocked the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T to the speeds of the AMD Phenom II X6 1055T. Now that the dust has settled we have managed to get our grubby little hands on an actual AMD Phenom II X6 1055T we can put it... [PCSTATS]
