"Thermaltake's TR2 RX 750W has proven itself to be a very capable PSU. With impressive stability, quiet operation, modular design with plenty of connectors and sleeved cabling, this PSU brings a lot to the table and does so with a fairly modest price tag."
Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W Modular Power Supply Review @ TweaknewsThe ability to dual boot systems is nothing new but very rarely done anymore. You more than likely will never find a good enough reason or use for an average PC user to run two Operating Systems (OS). So then you might ask yourself, “Why am I showing you how to?” The answer is easy, to quote Sir Francis Bacon’s much used aphorism “knowledge is power “. I personally wasn’t very familiar with Ubuntu as an OS so I wanted to learn more. The cost of a second PC wasn’t justifiable, just to put a second OS on so that I could learn it for my own gain. So I went and researched how to install both of them on the same machine.
What OS, Windows 7 or Ubuntu? Why not use both! @ TechwareLabsFREMONT, California, February 26, 2009 — Corsair, a worldwide leader in high-performance computer and flash memory products, today announced the addition of the Reactor Series and Nova Series to its family of solid-state drives (SSDs). Both the Nova Series and Reactor Series provide the performance benefits of solid-state technology at an attractive cost per gigabyte.
Sometimes Intel's tick-tock plans don't coincide with the technical improvements made to other areas, such as SuperSpeed USB-3.0 or SATA-III 6.0-Gbps controllers. Most hardware enthusiasts agree that it's awkward to see Intel's "Enthusiast" branded X58-Express chipset paired to older standards while "Mainstream" P55 motherboards enjoy the better and faster new ones. Gigabyte agrees, too, and has re-launched the X58A-series as a refresh for their flagship platform. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 motherboard against the ASUS P6X58D Premium in heat-to-head performance, and compares to the original X58 platform.
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 Motherboard @ Benchmark Reviews"Once again we can state that all of these cards are quite performing. The reviewed products demonstrated excellent results for their price, as well as a great potential for multi-monitor configurations."

Sans Digital Towerraid TR5UT(-B) @ TechwareLabsIn what might be a record, AMD managed to release both the first and final normal model from its HD 5000-series in a mere five months. The final card is of course the HD 5830, which falls comfortably between the HD 5770 and HD 5850, and has the $240 price tag to prove it. So regardless of your given budget today, AMD has a card for you.
ATI Radeon HD 5830 - AMD Completes its HD 5000 Line-up @ Techgage.comEver since the introduction of the ATI Radeon HD5770, PC gamers and enthusiasts have been looking at the wide gap between the HD5770 and the HD5850 and knew that it would only be a matter of time before ATI plugged the hole in their product line. ATI is taking a slightly different approach with the Radeon HD5830 video card; selling only the ASIC chips to their Add-In-Board (AIB) partners. In this article Benchmark Reviews is going to demonstrate a prototype ATI Radeon HD 5830 video card, and our benchmark tests are going to put an end to the rumors about the specifications and graphical performance of this highly anticipated GPU.
ATI Radeon HD 5830 DirectX-11 Video Card Review @ BmRToday we have with us the ASUS EAH 5830 DirectCu 1024 MB, a premium non-reference implementation of the Radeon HD 5830. The way its cooler is designed, and going by ASUS' choice of components, the EAH 5830 DirectCu is catered to the value performance enthusiast who can squeeze the last ounce of performance out of it by overclocking.
ASUS EAH 5830 DirectCu @ techPowerUpAs we move on to Blu-Ray media we take a look at both BD-R Single Layer and BD-R Dual Layer disks. BD-R Single Layer disks are getting to be quite affordable at ~$3 / disk but Dual-Layer disks will set you back almost $30 per disk. This is crazy and shows that Sony is controlling the Dual-Layer prices in order to prevent people from making straight copies of disks. It works. . .
Plextor PX-B940SA 12x Blu-ray Disc Writer - BCCHardwareOn todays testbench is a Asus 5750 videocard, this is a 140$ card that seems to really bring some bang for the buck performance wise according to the specifications. We are going to compare it vs some higher performance cards that we have looked at before; and also try to boost performance with some overclocking.
Asus EAH5750 Videocard @ RbmodsThe Addonics Pocket DigiDrive combines both the flexibility of a card reader and the speed of the eSATA interface into one functional package. We take the unit for a spin with a blazing fast Compact Flash card to see how it will keep up.
Addonics Pocket eSATA/USB DigiDrive @ techPowerUpMost people should have heard about the ease of use that the Netflix streaming service provides. One of the major components of this ease of use would be the set top boxes that provide the service on TVs. Roku was the original and is still the best way to get streaming Netflix to your TV, right now.
Roku XR Review @ ASE LabsAs a network administrator, content filtering is one of the most difficult challenges I face.

"Although the Spire TherMax II does set out on the right course and follows the basic tower cooler construction, there are some design problems that are hindering the performance when compared to other products on the market today. Now with that being said, this in no way is a bad cooler. In fact, is is a very good option to consider if you are replacing a stock Intel heatsink and for the price, it isn't a bad deal."
Are you looking for the most feature-rich P55-based motherboard possible? With its P55A-UD7, Gigabyte looks like its up to the challenge.

Gigabyte's P55A-UD7 - The Most Packed P55 Board? @ Techgage.comThe variety on the "Rock" SlotRadio card was very good and while not all songs are #1 hits I found that the majority are very decent and for the most part I didn't find myself skipping many songs. These SlotRadio cards offer a mix of very well-known artists as well as a mix of some "lesser-known" artists that you may have never heard of (or maybe totally forgot about). . .
