The ASUS Matrix GTX 285 has really been a long time coming, noticed originally at Computex it was only going to be a matter of time before we got the hot little product in our hands. Following the Matrix naming scheme, the GTX 285 is the latest model to get welcomed into the lineup with open arms.

"Up on the review block today I’ve got an interesting little product called the iMainGo 2, and it’s a portable speaker system for your iPod, iPhone, Zune or most any other portable audio player. The iMainGo 2 though is much more than just a set of speakers it’s actually a case that will protect your MP3 player. I’ve been using the iMainGo 2 for over a week now and I really like it, the audio quality is excellent, and overall the product is well made, producing big sound from a little set of speakers."

"It is time to review Kabuto CPU cooler from Japan-based Scythe. This cooler has six heatpipes and three independent heatsinks, with a 120 mm fan placed horizontally. Will it perform well in our tests?"

When it comes to mice and keyboards gaming or otherwise there is one company everyone recognizes. Logitech is by far the largest peripheral manufacture in the world. In fact December of last year they produced their Billionth mouse, that’s a lot of mice! They have also made a name for themselves with the G series of gaming peripherals including the popular g15 and g5. Today I have the chance to take a look at the G9x, Logitech’s most recently released gaming mouse. I should have high hopes considering its family, but I can’t help to be a little unsure. I was a big fan of the g5’s shape and the G9x doesn’t resemble the g5 at all, so who knows.

OCZ is one of those companies who looks out for everyone. No matter if you are a hard core gamer with lots of money to buy extreme gear or a budget minded individual that has to make every dollar count, they have you in mind. With this way of thinking, OCZ have released several classes of solid state drives ranging from the Solid series to the Vertex EX. Our first review of a SSD will consist of a model from their mainstream line up: Agility. The Agility is based around a Indilinx controller backed by Elpida 64MB cache chip. These two components gives the Agility its performance numbers. What keeps the Agility a low cost alternative to other solid state drives with similar number is the inexpensive NAND modules used. But just how inexpensive is the Agility? Just how fast is the Agility? Read on and find out.

With the tower format cooler generally accepted as the best current heatsink design architecture, the variations are often with the base, heatpipes and fan configurations. Previous Cooler Master designs such as the V8 and V10 are pretty extreme with additional heatsinks sprouting from all parts making them into monster coolers.

Rethinking a few things after the original Hyper 212 was released, Cooler Master saw the need to take the 212 back to the drawing board and see what they could do to offer a better solution. Not only is the actual cooler a bit different this time around, but they went with another style of fan. They also got together with the engineers to develop an all new mounting hardware, which are welcomed changes in my eyes.

"The Saiph 3200 looks extremely attractive, and Mionix appears to have hit all the right notes with this rodent, an extremely unusual feat for such a new company. Gotta love those Swedes, they sure know design. Well, today should prove very interesting, as I will admit I'm absolutely fanatical about mouse features and functionality. The Saiph (and Alioth) have an uphill climb ahead of them. Let's find out if they'll reach the summit or cave to the vast peripheral wasteland."

“Despite the fact that something new will not come out of NVIDIA GT200 architecture manufacturers are doing their best to attract customers to their models. Either it’s the bundle, design of card itself or price some argument should exist. MSI decided to trade on prestige and design so, as result, we got MSI N285GTX SuperPipe 2G…”

"Seasonic M12D 750 W (SS-750EM) was one of the best-performing power supplies we've reviewed to date, presenting only high-end components and a very high efficiency thanks to the DC-DC converter used on its secondary. Seasonic released now a more affordable version from this power supply, called S12D (SS-750HT), which the main difference is not coming with a modular cabling system. Let's see if this is the only difference between them."

"With the GTX285 getting a little long in the tooth and the next generation of video cards right around the corner, you have to wonder why you would make another high end model? Build it and they will come. Limited Edition cards with higher performance and more robust looks and cooling sell even with the higher price tag. Does everyone who makes that purchase use it to its fullest extent? Not always, but the performance is there if you need it."

With the inherent expense of SSD's recent concerns about longevity and optimization have surfaced. With 1 Million hours MTBF the drives have a pretty good lifespan but if you are interested in longevity and optimizing the drive for maximum performance here's a few tips and tricks you may want to experiment with.

When it comes to gaming hard drives there really has only been one. The Raptor series from Western Digital has dominated the market for some time now. Their most recent Raptor is the 300Gb 10k RPM Velociraptor may be a little aged at over 1 1/2 years but still is a force to be reckoned with. Today I have the chance to see how the Velociraptor performs against other solutions including the SAS drives we have tested in the past and SSD’s. Will the top name in gaming hard drives still hold its weight?

NZXT's previous Sentry fan controllers impressed us in our evaluations, but we wanted a bit more. To the rescue is the Sentry 2, the latest fan controller from the company that has completely floored us. At $35, it's affordable. Add to that the touch-screen capability, support for 5 10W fans and on-the-fly temperature monitoring, and we have a new must-have product.

I think the Titan FENRIR did an excellent job at cooling my rather hot Core i7 920 processor. Although installing it can be a bit of a pain on some motherboards, it's still possible.

Sapphire does it again, combining the already stellar performance of the ATI Radeon HD 4890 with a top notch cooler and an extra gigabyte of GDDR5 memory, the Radeon HD 4890 2GB Vapor X is a hit in our book. Having owned a pair of Radeon HD 4870 video cards for the last year I've been accustomed to the loud blower noise each time I fire up my PC. With the Vapor X in my machine I have to look for the front LED's because I can't tell if it's on!

Zalman has stepped away from the cooler design it is well known for and has done a pretty good job. With this step away from the flower design, they also open up a little bit and give you the ability to swap fans. Cooling performance of the CNPS10X Extreme matches their previous top end cooler the CNPS9900LED. They also bring back a new version of the PWM Mate with more options than previous iterations. With a black nickel plate finish the CNPS10X Extreme is sure to compliment almost any setup.

"After reviewing StealthXStream 400 W and becoming impressed by its performance, we decided to test the 500 W model from this series (OCZ500SXS) to see if it is also a good buy. To our surprise this power supply is manufactured by FSP and not by CWT like the 400 W model, so even though they are in the same series they use different internal designs, making a comparison between the two even more interesting."

This little bit of software (which sets itself to run at start-up by default) allows you to choose between three clock speed profiles for your card - Standard Mode, which utilises NVIDIA's reference clocks, Overclock Mode, which uses the factory overclocked speeds we mentioned earlier, and Green Mode, which attempts to save power by reducing clock speeds below NVIDIA's reference clocks (to a core clock of 400MHz, shader clock of 800MHz and memory clock of 300MHz on this occasion). The application can also monitor GPU temperatures and fan speeds as well as reporting on clock speeds, and switching between performance profiles is as simple as clicking the option you require and confirming the selection.

Recently, I had the chance at sharing with you two truly unique USB flash drives where one was tiny and the other being tough and rugged. Today I will be reviewing a new product from Wintec Industries that is based on the newer SSD technology, which has been gaining much attention. SSD (solid-state drive) technology actually isn’t totally new but rather rearranges existing flash technology in order to provide a better alternative over traditional magnetic hard drives that we are accustomed to for so long. Today we review the 24GB Wintec Industries FileMate SolidGO 24GB ExpressCard Ultra SSD.”

"People buy netbooks for two reasons: They're extremely portable and they're pretty darned cheap. The MSI Wind U123 satisfies both criteria and throws in a bonus: Incredibly long battery life. We tested battery life by playing (and in this case, by replaying) a movie (Boogie Nights) that we ripped from DVD, encoded to MPEG-4, and copied to the computer's hard drive. It's a good thing we enjoy this movie, because we were able to watch it three times before the Wind's nine-cell Lithium-Ion battery finally petered out. That's right: This little device ran for a hair more than six hours."

The biggest enhancement for the 785G would be its updated graphic controller base on the HD 4200. Most noticeably, improvements over the older 780G chipset would be the UVD 2.0 support for full MPEG-2/VC-1/H.264 hardware acceleration, DVI and HDMI output, and HDCP encoding. The chipset also supports DirectX 10.1 so it would be fully ready for Windows 7. Something unique about the new chipset would be the dual-stream PiP technology on Blu-ray 1.1 playback with multi-monitor capability. The new chipset also made an upgrade to HDMI 1.3 from 1.2.

Under the codename "Postville" Intel was developing the second generation of their already successful X25-SSD-Series. Now Intel ships the X25-m with 34 nm NAND Flash. The advantages a shrink comes with are quite predictable: lower manufacturing costs per Gigabyte, lower power consumption and a higher storage density. Furthermore Intel also overworked the firmware and therefore we can expect a bit more performance and hopefully the drive won't be affected by filling it up to 100 percent of its capacity.

When I was offered a chance to review one of GIGABYTES AMD motherboards, I jumped at the chance to review one of them. The last AMD CPU I played with these last few years was my two daughters computer. Like any typical teenagers they use the computer for looking at myspace, yik yaking with their buddies online (when the phone is off limits or being used), occasional light gaming, too movie watching when the big screen television is being used.

The most interesting thing about technology is how quickly it advances. It wasn’t that long ago that we reviewed a 16Gb drive from Super Talent called the PICO. The PICO’s size was very impressive considering the compact size. Of course with technology always moving that 16 gigs looks small compared to Super Talents newest 32Gb PICO drive. Today I have the chance to compare the two.

"We've been looking at several Solid State Drives (with more on the way) and today we'll be examining the OCZ Vertex Turbo that features some impressive performance claims. We recently tested its vanilla sibling, the Vertex, and were quite impressed. So the promise of a turbo boost (quite literally) with this SSD has us eager to get it into the starting blocks and dropping the hammer to see what numbers it can post."

"These results where right where I expected them, with a little surprise on the hard drive temperature, where it outperformed both comparison cases. I didn't expect this due to the appearance of the front bezel; there isn't any perforations in the plastic and only a little bit of perforation between the blue accent and the plastic area, as noted in the Closer Look pages. I didn't expect a lot of air to flow through the small surface area of the opening for the front 120mm intake. The higher chipset temperatures are most likely due to the lower position of the side panel fan, which didn't push enough air over the chipset heatsink."

"Last summer the nVidia GT200 core cards, the GTX 260 and GTX 280, were relatively new and expensive. Now, more than a year later, the GT200 core is still nVidia's top-dog, but the cost of entry to this level of performance has dropped significantly. With the advent of newer, faster cards such as the GTX 275 and 285, the now lowly but revamped, die-shrunk 260 can be had for well under the $200 mark, or even less for the original 65nm, 192sp core cards. It's one of these cards, basically identical to our original EVGA GTX 260 from last year, that we've got from our friends over at Geeks.com for comparison today. Join me as I take a look at a modern SLI implementation and see if two cards really are better than one."

"Nearly three years after the introduction of the original budget-busting PlayStation 3, Sony has put both the system and its price tag on a diet. The appropriately named PlayStation 3 Slim shaves over an inch off the width of the previous system while keeping the same processing power intact. Sony also drops the price by $100 from the previous model, and bumps storage up from 80GB to 120GB. But the PlayStation's distinctive piano black shell also disappears, along with the ability to run third-party operating systems. Has Sony cut too deep and turned the caviar of the console world into a tuna fish sandwich? Let's have a closer look and find out."

“Term “tweaking” is closely connected to some sort of electronic device and represent minute modifications in hardware which results in better performances.

The Antec Nine Hundred Two is a new, revamped version of the Nine Hundred. The original Nine Hundred was a great case but it wasn’t perfect. Antec have since looked at how they can make the case even better and have then implemented these improvements into the Nine Hundred Two.

"DeepCool's Killer Whale heatsink is a top-down cooler built around two critical things. It has a hefty solid copper heat spreader (base) onto which six 6mm diameter heatpipes have been soldered, and a large and potentially very quiet 48mm thick 120mm PWM fan that spins at 1000-1800RPM. The fan moves approximately 78CFM, while generating at most 53.5 dBA and at least a whisper quiet 34.8 dBA. The Killer Whale stands 140mm tall and weighs a hefty 900 grams, but if you were to replace the fan with a more compact 120mm model that height could be as little as 92mm + fan thickness."
