Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 @ PCSTATS
Microsoft has discontinued its range of SideWinder gaming products, for a second time. The first time was back in 2003, although the company re-launched its gaming brand in 2007 after some co-operation with Razer, although this time around it's not likely that we'll see a return of the SideWinder brand....

Thermaltake V9 BlacX @ PCSTATS
آ“Thereآ’s little doubting that this new release of RHEL is a worthwhile investment, enabling customers to take full advantage of the latest multi-core hardware with the promise of even greater scalability in the future. New buyers and those deploying new servers should certainly have no hesitation in choosing RHEL 6 to host their Linux applications. Whether itآ’s worth rushing out and upgrading existing systems is less clear cut. Especially, for customers with large numbers of Xen virtual machines who may prefer to wait a while before going through the pain of migrating to the new KVM technology in this release.آ” ...

Corsair HS1A Stereo Gaming Headset Review @ PCSTATS
"The wire management accommodations in the V9 BlacX are seriously lacking and can use some improvement. There is very little room behind the motherboard tray to run wires, and nothing to really route them around. I really did my best on the wire management here, and I'm not terribly happy with the results. I did also find that the power supply mounting bracket does not allow for the power supply to be flipped over, allowing for a slight advantage with wire management since the cables can start closer to the motherboard tray."...

HIS Radeon HD 6970 Turbo FAN 2GB review @ PCSTATS
Our first introduction to the HS1 Headset from Corsair was quite a pleasant one. We found it to be a sturdy, well built headset that offered great audio performance for what was a decent pricing point. However, Corsair has sensed the yearning for a non-USB version of the successful headset and has thus come out with a new one. Well, sort of... You see, while the paint has indeed changed and the USB connection is now gone, below the surface this is in fact nearly the same product as the original HS1. And we do not have an issue with that, simply because as we have stated above, it was already a great sounding set of headphones. So in affect, what we have here is a slimmed down 'light weight' version of the original HS1 - Minus all the fancy software working in the background, which we must add worked extremely well on the original when we tested it."...

Sapphire Fusion Mini E350 Motherboard @ PCSTATS
We have a look at a Radeon HD 6970 based on the reference design, yet the TURBO model from HIS as this R6970 comes factory clocked. Although we expected a little more in frequencies for a product tagged Turbo, this R6970 comes factory clocked at 900MHz and with a memory clock of 5,600MHz. But ah well, we'll bring the card quite close to a nice manual overclock, and that my friends means added value on what seems to be a very interesting product. Check out the review right here. ...

Antec P193 case @ PCSTATS
"On the whole, Sapphire Fusion Mini E350 is an interesting solution that offers more expandability than competing boards. Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0 are not a peculiarity for this class of products, and the supplied Bluetooth is surely not a drawback, even despite the implementation."... [MAINBOARD] via PCSTATS

Intel's Core i7 990X Extreme Edition Tested, Burned-in @ PCSTATS
"Antec recently announced a refresh to their performance one line of cases and they were kind enough to send a few for us to take a look at. Today we're reviewed the P193, the top of the performance pile. Let's see how it's features stack up."... [XSREVIEWS] via PCSTATS

The new x264 HD Benchmark 4.0 is here! @ PCSTATS
"Sitting at the top of the WD TV line-up is the Live Hub and that's the one we're looking at today. Checking out the box, you can see the device and some of the main features. One of the bigger features is the 1TB hard drive that's embedded into the WD TV Live Hub. On the front of the box we can also see some of the other main features which include support with Blockbuster, Netflix, Pandora, Facebook and YouTube. Unfortunately not all these features are available outside of the US, but the ones that are like YouTube and Facebook work great. We'll get into all that a little later, though. Looking at the actual device, it's very sleek and while it's a little thinner than other devices we've seen, it's a little wider. You shouldn't have any problem finding a nice spot for it, though, and that's the most important thing. The device is fairly simple looking and there's not a whole lot going on with the front having a lit up WD logo along with a power button and USB port. Both sides don't have anything while the back has all our connectivity, which is pretty strong."... [TWEAKTOWN] via PCSTATS

Gigabyte launches world's first overclocking motherboard X58A-OC @ PCSTATS
This is the improved version of the x264 HD Benchmark 3.0 benchmark which had become a standard CPU benchmark for Tech ARP as well as many other hardware enthusiasts. The new x264 HD Benchmark 4.0 ups the ante by using the latest r1913 x264 encoder as well as other changes under the hood. This makes the x264 HD Benchmark 4.0 the new best tool for testing the full capabilities of modern multi-core, multi-threaded processors. Do note that due to the changes, the results from x264 HD Benchmark 4.0 are NOT comparable with results from older versions of the benchmark. In addition to the release of the benchmark, we will be compiling benchmark results for this new version. So please contribute your new benchmark results to this project!... [TECHARP] via PCSTATS

Beginner's Guide to HTPC Software @ PCSTATS
Something else that MUKii is realizing is that people want more for their money. Functionality and quality is one thing, but good looks are also a must.. So, often is the case that we want both; we deserve it. Right? This brings us to our latest review product from MUKii, their TransImp X3 Hard Drive Enclosure Plus. One might remember the TransImp U3 model that we reviewed some months back and think this is just a redesigned shell; however, that is not the case at all. The TransImp X3 is indeed an external enclosure with USB3 support, but it also comes with a bunch of new features, enough to make it worth of the prefix 'Plus'. So grab a drink, perhaps a snack and sit back as we show you just what this enclosure has in store for you! ... [CLOCKERS] via PCSTATS

Intel Sandy Bridge VA-API Video Acceleration Performance @ PCSTATS
Each one of these has their pros and cons. If you are using Mac OSX, you don't have many choices beyond Front Row and Plex (below). If you're using Linux, honestly you're probably not reading this guide due to limited options as well--MythTV (below as well). So that leaves Windows users . This is at least 90% of you out there, and most likely what everyone reading this is interested in. Let's take a look at some HTPC software programs and cover some of their pros and cons. By no means is this full in-depth, but should be a good starting point. ... [MISSINGREMOTE] via PCSTATS

Corsair HS1A @ PCSTATS
"There have been a number of Intel Sandy Bridge articles on Phoronix since the January launch of this next-generation Intel CPU micro-architecture. It's ranged from the Linux support being challenging to dealing with motherboard problems and then the graphics performance being fast relative to previous generations of Intel graphics and for being based upon the classic Mesa driver architecture, but much slower than Windows. Last week then the Sandy Bridge Linux performance became much more interesting after a simple patch led to a huge performance win to the point that the open-source Linux driver performance is much closer to their full-featured Microsoft Windows driver. What is the next chapter in the Intel Sandy Bridge Linux story? A look at the VA-API video acceleration playback performance."... [PHORONIX] via PCSTATS

Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey Series 4GB DDR3-2133 @ PCSTATS
"The HS1A is certainly a high quality headset and certainly worthy of a little more money than something from Labtec or even Ozone, but, it's not worth as much money is it is, especially when the HS1 is available for very little more. Even without Dolby Headphone, if the HS1A was priced at $50, I would heartily recommend it, because it is much better than cheaper headsets. However, because it lacks Dolby Headphone and is only $15 cheaper than the HS1, the HS1A just isn't a good value. So, if you want to buy the HS1A, don't: buy the HS1."...

Sunbeamtech Twister 120 @ PCSTATS
آ“We're looking at a set of Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey Series 4GB DDR3-2133 modules. They bring the famous HyperX pedigree to the table but come with a slightly new twist, sporting grey heatspreaders instead of the traditional blue. They still look sleek, but perhaps more significantly is they come with a $105 price tag for a killer speed rating. Let's find out if Kingston has produced another winner with these HyperX Genesis modules.آ”... [PUREOVERCLOCK] via PCSTATS

PowerColor HD 6970 PCS+ 2 GB @ PCSTATS
Das Unternehmen Sunbeamtech ist vermutlich den wenigsten ein Begriff. Bringen wir nun aber den Namen Tuniq ins Spiel, so sollte es vermutlich bei einigen Klick machen, den aufmerksamen Lesern von DeXgo sollte der Name nun aber was sagen, stellten wir bereits zwei Kأ¼hler des taiwanesischen Unternehmens, den Tower 120 Extreme und den Propeller 120, in zwei Reviews vor. Tuniq wurde als extra Division (Abteilung) von Sunbeamtech gegrأ¼ndet und gehأ¶rt somit zu dem groأںen Unternehmen, welches vornehmlich auf dem OEM-Markt tأ¤tig war. Mit dem Twister 120 stellt Sunbeamtech nun den nأ¤chsten Kأ¼hler vor, welcher mit zwei 120-mm-Lأ¼ftern ausgestattet ist und fأ¼r alle aktuellen Sockel freigegeben ist. Wie sich der Kأ¼hler auf unserem Teststand schlأ¤gt, erfahrt ihr auf den folgenden Seiten.... [DEXGO] via PCSTATS

PowerColor's new HD 6970 PCS+ comes overclocked to the highest clock speeds of any Radeon HD 6970 card that is available at the market right now.
