iBuyPower Corei5 System Review @ TestFreaks :: Posted by THRASHER2
" The Corei5 was just introduced about 2 weeks ago and iBuyPower was gracious enough to send me over a complete system for review. The Corei5 is the new budget CPU and Iآ’ve put it up against my current system with a C2Q9650 in it that also has double the ram and a better performing video card. Will that make a difference, or is the new architecture of the Corei5 better overall? So Iآ’m looking at this in terms of an upgrade from my own system, or any other C2Q system reallyآ… So read on.."

Titan Skalli Review @ OCC :: Posted by THRASHER2
"When compared to the Coolermaster Hyper TX 3 the better construction and larger heatpipes end up allowing the Skalli to perform better when the heat is on. By better construction, what I am talking about is the heatsink base. The Coolemaster looked like the heatpipes were just pressed into the aluminum base with no leveling of the heatpipes and base, while the Skalli looks as though the base and heatpipes were machined as one piece to make sure this was not an issue."

Thermaltake Massive23 ST Notebook Cooler Review :: Posted by THRASHER2
"A little more than a month ago, Thermaltake sent over one of their latest notebook coolers for review, the Massive23 CS. Utilizing a rugged aluminum frame, huge 23cm fan and selectable multi-colored LED lighting, the Massive23 CS earned our Bronze Seal of Approval. While the aluminum cooler is definitely a high quality and attractive piece, it also carries a bit of a hefty price tag with it, listing at $59.99 retail. Today we take a look at the Massive23 ST, a plastic version of the CS that shares most of its features with the more expensive CS, all except for the price."

Gigabyte Cupio 6140 Mid Tower Quiet PC Case Review :: Posted by THRASHER2
The Gigabyte Cupio 6140 is one fine case, and Quiet PC USA has done well to increase the appeal with the quiet modifications. The fit and finish are top-notch, all of the features worked perfectly, and the tool-less chassis really surprised me with the external bays. It is definitely quiet, and doesnآ’t have loads of LEDs glaring at you, so it probably won't draw too much attention to itself.

AMD Athlon II X4 620 2.6 GHz @ techPowerUp :: Posted by THRASHER2
Not having a performance leading product doesn't mean the end of a company. AMD is the hardcore proof of that. Turning its attention to the much larger mainstream market resulted in some great products that offer amazing performance at low price points. This time, AMD has outdone itself, and the recently introduced Athlon II X4 620 could very well be a dream come true for mainstream users, the first ever quad core processor for just under $100.

آ“Evercool has a vast array of thermal solutions incorporating both air and water methods for numerous different components.

"Lian Li are one of the classier case manufacturers around, when you think of them you think of brushed aluminium, and a sincere lack of plastic and gimmicky features. Today I'm taking a look at a case that fits into the Lian Li mold very nicely indeed, the PC-A70F. It's a giant server style chassis, with gamer LED fans, and a fancy black, brushed aluminium finish.

Vantec NexStar Vault 2.5" SATA Enclosure @ TestFreaks :: Posted by THRASHER2
"Iآ’ve taken a look at many external hard drive enclosures in my time, but none quite like the one Iآ’ve got for review today. The Vantec NexStar Vault is an enclosure for a 2.5آ” SATA hard drive, but as the name might suggest, it makes your secure. The Vault does this by incorporating a numerical keypad into it, you must enter a six digit combination to access the drive. Itآ’s much more than that tough, the Vault automatically formats your drive half public and half private, so the end user really just has to put the drive in and thatآ’s it. It canآ’t get much easier than that really. "
