We’ve just posted a new article at HotHardware in which we evaluate the build quality, advanced features, and performance of the Synology Cube Station CS407. This do-it-yourself NAS device and server comes configured "bare-bones", ready for installation of up to four SATA hard disks with RAID 0, 1 and 5 capabilities. In addition to its compact form-factor and clean lines, Synology's CS407 provides product differentiation through support for a multitude of cross-platform features like UPnP MultiMedia support, iTunes server functionality, a Web Server with PHP and MySQL support and even an integrated photo management system called PhotoStation2 that has a decidedly "flickr-like" look and feel to it. Anyone in the market for a feature rich network attached storage device should check this article out…

Enthusiasts and Corsair go together like milk and cookies, and as expected Corsair is one of the first manufacturers to actually get its DDR3 memory modules to the market. Corsair's 2GB DOMINATOR Twin3X2048-1800C7D DDR3 memory kit is wicked fast, but that speed comes with a very high price tag: $784 CDN ($744 US, £371 GBP). Compared to what we're used to seeing from ultra high end enthusiast grade DDR2, it's pricey. Compared to a similar class of high end DDR3 memory on the market, it's actually quite comparable.

In this review I'm taking a closer look at the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad power supply. There are three flavors of this PSU: Black, Copper and a red CrossFire Edition. Besides the different color these units are identical, they all have a continuous maximum output of 750W with a peak output of 825W and a max of 60A on the +12V rail. The Silencer 750W PSU ships in a rather unattractive box. When I received this product I expected to find another box inside the one you can see on the photo but that wasn't the case. I was a bit worried that the PSU might have been damaged during shipping when I saw that one of the corners was punctured but fortunately the PSU was well protected.

Finding a modular power supply that can handle a multi-GPU system can be a little tough, but the Mushkin HP-580AP 580W Enhanced Power Supply seems capable of handling just about any of the latest video cards. And with RailFusion, the system can combine the multiple 12V rails into one if it happens to need more than the 20 Amps provided on a single 12V rail.

For the last month or so the hot discussion in the computer enthusiast community has centered around motherboards based on the Intel P35/ICH9R chipset. The hype for these products has been nothing short of phenomenal.

Although DDR3 is still fresh to the computing industry, there are surprisingly many different kits available right now. For our first DDR3 review, we are taking a fresh look at one of the first kits made available back in May, OCZ's DDR3-1333 CL7.

"While I was performing the testing, there were some things that came up that were not related to speed, transfer times, or anything technical. For instance, a few things are a little annoying about the unit, including the power button and the LCD display. To even see what is on the LCD, an almost 30 degree tilt is needed. This is so bad, that the first time I looked at the unit, I thought that I had a defective one. The power button also has some small things that irked me. To power the unit on, a simple press will not do. The button has to be held down for a period of about half a second, then released before the unit will power up. Everything else about the unit was very satisfactory."

"Laptop hard drives are now being used in external enclosures instead of traditional 3.5" drives for a number of reasons. These drives are much smaller and generate less heat and noise than 3.5" drives. Write speed and capacity limitations were once a point of concern for laptop drives, but that is now a thing of the past. Today I will be looking at the Tagan Icy Box IB-266StUS-B, an external 2.5" drive enclosure that offers a variety of connection configurations and flexibility."

“Enthusiasts looking for a powerful, yet energy efficient and stable power supply need look no further than the Antec TruePower Quattro 850W power supply unit.

"Models BE-2300 and BE-2350 are something of a "low-power" replacement for models X2 3600+ and X2 4000+. While they have higher frequency and lower power consumption, this, of course, isn't enough to beat the competition. AMD seems to be well-aware of that, so this processor's target market isn't overclockers, but office and home users, to whom CPU performance is hardly on the list of priorities."

"One area that the HIS Radeon HD 2600 PRO IceQ 512MB shines in is it's Multi-media capabilities. Two Gold plated (with black inlay) Dual Link DVI ports and an included ATI DVI to HDMI adapter are just the start of a great card for High Definition HTPC duty, and offers an air of stack system hi-fi authority in appearance. The UVD (Universal Video Decoder) Engine makes light work of H.264 and (apparently) VC-1, which means you don't need a killer CPU for video decoding; the cheaper video card can do most of the work and let you put the extra cash towards paying for an expensive Blu-ray or less expensive HD-DVD drive."

For instance, Microsoft Windows Vista load up times with 512MB of system memory and no ReadyBoost was ~47 seconds. When equipped with a 2GB ReadyBoost USB drive, boot time was cut down by 7 seconds.

"ATI were well behind nVidia when it came to releasing their DX10 hardware. 6 months passed between the introduction of the 8800 range from the green guys before the boys in red brought their 2xxx series of cards to the table. Even then, the king of GPUs at the time, the GTX, was still way out of the 2900XT's league. However, many have claimed it is a fantastic mid-high range solution; let's see if we concur."

Taipei, Taiwan, 23rd August 2007 - VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator and developer of PC silicon and platform technologies, today announced a 500MHz addition to the VIA Eden ultra low voltage (ULV) processor family. With an idle power of just 0.1 watt, the 500MHz VIA Eden ULV processor has been designed from the ground up to meet the low power requirements of a wide range of industrial, commercial and ultra mobile applications.

The new processor, along with several customer boards, will be showcased at the Embedded System Conference Taiwan, held on 23-24 August 2007 in Taipei.

Redefining power efficiency, the fanless 500MHz VIA Eden ULV processor achieves unprecedented speed for a full x86 processor within a remarkable 1 watt power envelope, opening up new realms for silent yet powerful system designs. Within the ultra compact 21mm x 21mm NanoBGA2 package, the VIA Eden ULV processor enables the x86 platform to squeeze into a smaller, lighter chassis than ever before.

"The core clock speed of Sapphire's GDD3 and GDDR4 Radeon HD 2600 XT offerings are identical, only the memory clock (and of course type) is different, with the GDDR3 board finds itself with RAM clocked some 400MHz slower than its big brother. However, there are also some rather large visual changes between the two boards.

Physically, the GDDR3 Radeon HD 2600 XT looks very different to its GDDR4 cousin - The PCB is much shorter for starters, and gone is the long reference cooler, replaced with a much smaller (yet still single slot offering). Once more, no external power is required, and this board also fully supports CrossFire via the two bridge connectors needed to get an ATI multi-GPU rig up and running."

There is another thing that I value above the music and that sound quality. I hate having to listen to music without some depth; some nice clarity to be able to hear every stroke and glide cross the strings of a guitar, and the pounding bass drum of a rock song. Of course I take my music with me wherever I go on my mp3 player, but I want something better than the average headphones you get with a media player.

“Is a 1kw power supply just not enough? If you are the ultra-hardcore PC user who is not satisfied with a mere 1000w and just want the most power you can possibly have, Ultra have expanded their X3 Modular PSU line for you! Their latest and greatest X3 unit is rated at 1.6kW output, which is probably enough to power a small city. The 1.6kW output rating makes it the most powerful consumer PSU currently available. Let us see if it can live up to the insane rating.”

To help gamers gear up for titles like Bio-Shock, Halo3, and Unreal Tournament 2007, manufacturers have been frantically working on new video cards that can harness DirectX 10’s graphics capabilities. One such card is the Leadtek PX8600GTS. This 256MB card should be an excellent budget solution for those entry-level gamers who just want to be able to game in a DirectX 10 environment, and not burn a huge hole in their pocketbooks.

Today we will be taking a look at one of Asrock’s newest motherboards based on Intel 945P chipset. Boasting most of the features of the Conroe1333 DVI/H plus more, the Conroe1333-eSATA2 is a full length board built for performance minded individuals. The board is specifically marketed to those who don’t have the ‘green’ to run out and pick up a seriously high-end board from the likes of Asus, Gigabyte, and any of the Nvidia 680i reference board partners (e.g. BFG, EVGA etc).

"SSHH! Now if you promise not to tell, I’ll let you in on a secret. Like any enthusiast, when we build or upgrade our systems, either our wives or girlfriends get the hand-me-downs. Even though we feel that we are being generous, they still consider it a second hand product. It doesn’t matter that the case, video card or processor you gave her was once the best on the market, it’s still a hand-me-down. Well I found a solution to the problem. Apevia (formally Aspire) is producing a compact case called the X-QPack 2 and it comes in an assortment of different colors. Including pink. So what I did was, I got the pretty pink case, just for her. Now since she has something that she can relate to and it is hers, I could basically replace any component and not have to deal with the "all you give me are hand-me-downs" effect."

“We're getting into the hardware reviews something fierce, and now is a good time to start a series of memory articles. Let's begin with the basics: DDR2-800. Also known as PC2 6400 RAM, 800MHz DDR2 is the most common memory standard, which balances tight timings and high bandwidth perfectly. And because DDR2-800 is universal to AMD and Intel alike, it sets the baseline against which all other RAM is compared. In the spirit of introducing this series on RAM, I've reviewed the plainest, greenest, no-frills, all-stock DDR2 I could find: Crucial's 2x1GB non-Ballistix DDR2-800 kit. And I was very pleased by it.”

Serial ATA optical drives are now readily available, and the timing couldn't be better as motherboards are quickly loosing the last vestiges of the IDE connector. Parallel IDE has been on the outs forever, but optical drives have only recently adopted SATA to replace it. For the longest time Plextor was the only optical drive manufacturer that offered SATA DVD and CD-ROM drives. Those drives were priced at three to four times what regular optical drives cost... but now it's easy to find an Serial ATA optical drive for under $40. Newer, faster, cheaper - that's the PC industry!

"The front of the package describes a few of the extreme highlights that come with this flash memory drive. Features like anti-shock and water-resistant operation are main selling points.

Everyday I see more people talking on cell phones with wireless hands-free devices, but the days of having a wire attached to your phone to have a hands free conversation are almost gone. Now Bluetooth headsets are the choice of many for hands-free solutions, as a matter of fact I can’t remember the last time I saw someone with a wire attached to their cell phone. Most people have retired their wires and now just talk on their phones or use Bluetooth headsets. Introducing the FreeStyler 600 Bluetooth V2.0 headset, SOYO has made a product that is easy to use and is compatible with any Bluetooth enabled cell phone. Currently, the majority of newer cell phones are equipped to handle Bluetooth devices, making Bluetooth hands-free headsets an option for most.

"If you are looking for performance out of the box and the AMD 6000+ wasn’t recommended then whom ever it was that gave you the advice was truly making a mistake. The 6000+ is less expensive than its Intel counterparts has a higher clock speed right out of the box and performs within a margin of error in most benchmarks, even though it has half the L2 cache and only has a FSB of 200 MHz opposed to Intels 266 and 333 MHz. So if you are an end user looking for performance and price this should not be overlooked."

Overlord is an adventure-RPG with solid fundamentals, beautiful graphics and tons of innovative features. But above all, its packed with humor and is quite simply a blast to play.

The game begins as a new and fairly weak Evil Overlord, controlled in a third-person view throughout the game. First off, you have to get your home tower operational, and then its time to recruit an army of cackling minions to do your bidding. You do so by killing sheep, bugs, enemies and so forth, then capturing their life force which works as a currency for spawning more minions.

It was almost a year ago when Benchmark Reviews first witnessed 1.0 kilowatt power supply units on the market. Around that same time, people were testing their SLi and CrossFire setups, and with rumor of Quad-SLi later becoming a reality it seemed like everyone would be using this much power into the future. Looking back, I am thankful the motherboard manufacturers essentially killed this idea, since it really seems rediculous to need four video cards for anything. But for those who live and die by the virtual sword (gaming), there are cost-friendly solutions such as the ePower Technology EP-1200P10 xScale 1200W PSU.

We have had our review sample of the ASUS Blitz Formula for the past three weeks. Rather than rushing to be the first kids on the block with a review of this new board we opted to wait until all our preferred test conditions could be met. Namely we wanted to perform all our tests at the native 1333MHz speed this board supports, ergo we were delayed by waiting for our new processor to arrive. We feel the wait was worth it and hope you'll enjoy our findings as much as we enjoyed gathering them.

"As we just mentioned, the EN8600GT rigidly follows NVIDIA's reference clocks for the GeForce 8600 GT, leaving it to distinguish itself on account of its cooling solution.

The board itself is straightforward enough, and typical of most GeForce 8600 GT PCBs, with no external power required and SLI support available. The cooling solution is really very modest compared to the massive protruding heatsink used by the EN8600GTS Silent, and comprises of simply one large heatsink over the core, designed to vent hot air out of the rear of the case. As with the EN8600GTS part, the bright, plastic 'Let's Game' section of the cooler looks a little cheap and out of place to me, but each to his own."

If you already have a soundcard in your system capable of outputting 5.1 channels, you probably won't need this, which adds another external device to the mix. However, if you have a laptop or other portable system, most of which only have stereo outputs, this adapter will be helpful, especially if you watch movies a lot and would like to take full advantage of your 5.1 speaker system. Watching movies with a full 5.1 channels is far better than listening to them in down-converted stereo mode. This is the audio adapter's intended use, as it quickly and easily adds 5.1 output support to any system, and does it well.”

With the name, "Silent Whisper" I truly expected a silent or near silent cooling option. The Sunbeam cooler does okay in the noise department but under power it neither operates as silent or at a whisper. The second issue is more one of aesthetics. The welding on the base looked like it was done eight beers into a twelve pack to me. However, under load, the Sunbeam Silent Whisper showed that while the weld looked bad, it performed well. This $13 cooler made a fair showing that certainly gets a nod overall.
