Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Notebook Review at XYZ Computing

http://www.xyzcomputing.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1078
"We've been seeing a lot of changes in the notebook market lately and hardly anyone has been more on top of recent advances than Lenovo. The newest upgrade to the ThinkPad's popular T series is the T61, which is a revision of the T60, but comes along with a number of big changes including a 14.1" widescreen and Intel's Centrino Duo platform. The move to Centrino Duo, also know as Santa Rosa, is especially interesting because it means that there are also changes to the processor, chipset, and wireless interface. The T series notebooks are the powerhouses of the ThinkPad line so any changes to them are a big deal. These portable workstations are popular with many users who have come to rely on their performance and dependability. They may not be as light as the X61s or as cool as a new Sony ultraportable but they have come to be recognized as the ThinkPad user's ThinkPad. "

Review link:
http://www.pro-clockers.com/review.php?id=223
"It seems that Thermaltake is at it again with new designs and innovations. Today they have graced us with their newest cooler, the V1 CPU. The V1 carries a design that is very different from most of the CPU coolers we have seen lately. The V1 looks like a pair of Oriental fans attached to one another via four copper heatsinks. The aesthetics, size and some of the technical aspects of the cooler looks to be very promising in performance and style."

“I’m sure most of you have heard of Gamefly. It is the game rental service like Netflix where games are sent through the mail to you and after you are done playing them you can send back. And the best thing is that there are no return dates so you can rent games for months at a time. Being that I wanted to review more games and buying them would cost a fortune I signed up for Netflix. Well I got my first game in and I was very disappointed…”
GIGABYTE GA-MA69GM-S2H Motherboard

Today we are looking at the GIGABYTE GA-MA69GM motherboard designed with the AMD 690G chipset. So let us see how well it compares to the MSI based motherboard which we recently tested in our labs."

It features a 12-in-1 card reader that you can actually transfer files from memory cards to your installed hard drive without a computer. This is the perfect device for photographers who take a lot of pictures and for someone who wants a card reader and hard drive all in one. Let's take a look at the DigiMate III Digital Wallet.”

"Evercool seems to have another winning product on their hands with
the HPFA-10025 Buffalo. It is quiet and performs very well against some
stiff competition. The style and size of the Buffalo should not cause any
compatibility issues with any motherboard I could see. Also with the extreme
ease of installation, I would not hesitate to recommend this cooler to even
the most novice of users."
ECS PN2 SLI2+ Extreme Motherboard Review
Link:
http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/457
Our review of ECS PN2SLI2+ Extreme, a very high-end socket 775 motherboard designed and manufactured by nVidia and sold by ECS based on nForce 680i chipset and supporting future Core 2 Duo CPUs based on the 1,333 MHz external bus.
"PN2 SLI2+ Extreme from ECS is based on the latest nVidia chipset for the Intel platform, nForce 680i, being a very high-end motherboard targeted to the latest and future Core 2 CPUs. Its main features include support to DDR2 memories up to 1,200 MHz, the new 1,333 MHz external bus (FSB) and an out-of-ordinary overclocking support. Nvidia has now a new approach and some motherboards based on their chipsets are now labeled as “designed by nVidia”, meaning that the motherboard was designed and manufactured by nVidia, not by the brand that is selling it. This is the case with this motherboard. Let’s see how this model branded by ECS performs."

Antec P182 Case Review at XYZ Computing

http://www.xyzcomputing.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1075
"This review will be looking at the newest case in the Performance One series, the P182. This is the follow-up to the P180, a case that was high awaited but left some buyers wanting more. The goal of the P182 was to tweak the old design and fix some of the issues people had with it while staying true to the Performance One roots. It is worth noting that the P182 arrives at about the same time as two other high-end cases from Antec. The first is an alternate version to the P182, known as the P182 SE. This case features an incredible mirror-coated stainless steel exterior and a painted interior but is otherwise identical to the P182. The other case is the P190, Antec's new top-of-the-line dual-PSU case. We first saw this case about a year ago and it is finally making its way to the market."

Vizo Ares Internal SATA Mobile Rack @ Pro-Clockers
Review link:
http://www.pro-clockers.com/review.php?id=222
" Internal, hot-swappable hard drive racks enclosures have been around for quite a few years now, but many of them were geared toward "old-school" parallel ATA technology. Today's hard drives are mostly Serial ATA because of their serial bus architecture that boosts hard drives speeds up to 300 megabytes per second. VIZO has caught up with modern times with the Ares SATA HDD Mobile Rack, which is on our test bench today. This enclosure supports SATA II hard drives and puts their own spin onto an already industry-proven product."
