"The BlackBerry Pearl 8100 may not be the most modern or exciting smartphone on the market, but it is still an appealing option. Given the variety of functions, compact size, and decent battery life, it is worth considering by anyone who wants to upgrade their mobile phone without getting locked in to a new deal or spending a lot of money."

"When it comes to the absolute best when balancing price and performance, a few units come to mind, among them Corsair's TX750W was definitely among those at the front of the pack. Today we add Corsair's TX850W to that list. The 850W priced in the lower $100 dollar range and only slightly more expensive than the TX750W falls in a sweet spot. For those needing just a little bit more power than the TX750W offers, but not a full 1000W, the TX850W answers the call. Even those who don't necessarily need 850W of power should consider the TX850W. There are only a small number of units which match Corsair's TX line offerings in terms of performance and especially at its asking price point." CLICK HERE to read more from Overclockers Online!

"The biggest selling point of the Sapphire Vapor-X Radeon HD4850 512MB graphics card may be that it runs cool, quiet, and it is relatively energy efficient. Sapphire has made a few electrical tweaks, as well as developing a new cooler, that give you all the performance of a Radeon HD4850 without as much heat, noise, or electricity consumption."

"A so called product ID or OPN description is on each AMD Phenom and Phenom II CPU, but this product ID is not really easy to understand without studying several datasheets. On the new AMD Phenom product ID guide simply select the description of your processor over the drop-down fields or type it directly into the new OPN field. Then you will see the technical data and processor description below in the virtual CPU. The service is of course free available over the web and it is also possible to control this interactive guide directly with OPN data over online shops, forums, or web pages." CLICK HERE for more!

"The Thermaltake promotional material claims the BigTyp 14 Pro is "completely silent", which just isn't true at any speed with the included fan. Despite this, I was quite pleased with the performance and noise level at the lowest speed setting. When I switched the stock fan out for a 92mm fan mounted under the cooling fins (blowing upward) things got even better." CLICK HERE to read more from Bigbruin.com!

"As an alternative to the slow platter-based hard drives there already a few ram disk-based solutions on the market. Acard recently designed their ram disk product, which allows users to use DDR2 memory as storage method. Today, we have a look at the performance of the Acard ANS-9010 and compare it with normal hard disk drives, SSD technology and other ram disks." CLICK HERE to read more from Madshrimps Reviews!

"Last year Gigabyte organized their first World Wide Overclocking event in Taiwan. The 2008 event was open for invited overclockers only. This year however, they put up an online entry system. So not only the happy few could participate, but everyone out there running an overclocked Gigabyte setup." CLICK HERE to read more from Madshrimps Reviews!

"During testing, the temperatures of the processor, graphics card, and hard drive were all lowered thanks to the use of the Choiix C-HL01-WS Air-Through laptop cooling pad, although none of the improvements were extreme. Other positives include an integrated 4-port USB hub and a pair of 60mm fans that can be turned on or off with a push of a button." CLICK HERE to read more from Bigbruin.com!

"Launched in 2005, the original Antec P180 case was immediately welcomed into the industry as one of the best cases of the year. A few years and a few revisions later, we find ourselves in the presence of its latest successor: the Antec Performance One P183 mid-tower case. While the basic design remains the same, Antec took their end-user feedback to heart and implemented several highly requested changes. Today at Benchmark Reviews, we look at those changes and find out how the Antec P183 stacks up against another recently launched enthusiast case: the CM Storm."

"Gamers can be particular and demanding when it comes to their hardware and particularly their mice. With the Eclipse mouse, OCZ is showing they are listening to gamers needs and giving them what they want. With a large range of customization and onboard profiles, the Eclipse brings a lot to the table. Dual lasers make for accurate tracking and on the fly DPI switching makes it easy to go from running and gunning to sniping in no time." CLICK HERE to read more from Overclockers Online!

"Years ago I never imagined I would “need” a terabyte of storage. Fast forward to today with the explosion of digital media and it is easy to justify such a need. Once you do acquire such a large drive you may worry about reliability, as 1TB of data is a lot to lose. Today we will test the Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB hard drive in terms of speed, reliability, and value." CLICK HERE to read more from Bigbruin.com!

"What differentiates a serious Gaming PC from all the rest of the PCs in the world? To me, it's all about graphics performance, but I know there are many who would disagree. They would say it's a combination of factors, including appearance and some extra functionality needed to survive the physical gaming environment.  Cooler Master has created a new division called CM Storm to address the specific needs of gamers.  Their latest product, introduced at CEBIT in early March, is called Scout: The True Gaming Case, and is aimed at the mid-market enthusiast.The first thing you notice about the CM Storm Scout Gaming Case is its appearance, particularly the swooping, integrated handle that graces the top surface. That's an obvious nod to the LAN Party setting, but what about the rest of the case? The Scout has several other features that are aimed at the gaming market, as we'll see.  Follow along with Benchmark Reviews and let'! s see if the Scout (SGC-2000-KKN1-GP) has enough gaming DNA to survive the ruthless natural selection process that takes place in this very demanding marketplace."

"In the ever raging sales battle among memory manufacturers, the Core i7 launch must have been the wind that shook the barley. While everyone was convinced i7 would be the real start of DDR3 technology, it also was a "back to the drawing board" call for most, having to come up with lower voltage memory parts - with decent performance - in a hurry. Four months into the launch now, we present you with a roundup of 8 mid-range kits from 8 different manufacturers. Begun, the new battle has." CLICK HERE for more from Madshrimps Reviews!

"The Samsung SC-MX20 is a great starter camcorder. It is very customizable allowing you to progress from a new or novice user to one who becomes more familiar at the manual modes. The small profile, long battery life and relatively low price makes it a great deal. The fact that is also has an optical zoom and shoots good daylight videos is a huge plus."

"With summer quickly approaching (for all of us northern hemisphere folk at least), your rig is going to need all the cooling it can get without you having to crank up the costly air conditioning (or spend exorbitant amounts of money on cooling solutions). Your video card is going to be hit especially hard if you're planning on heavy gaming, overclocking, and graphical usage, leaving you with a few options - either purchase a more dynamic chassis, throw in some high RPM fans (everyone loves the pleasant roar of a jet engine), fiddle with expensive (and time intensive) water cooling, or merely install an expansion slot based fan. Today we are going to take a look at one such device - the 'Vizo Propeller Dual-Fan Card'." CLICK HERE to read more from Reviewstash.com!

"Since testing computer hardware products is a PC-centric task, I've never wandered very far from what I know. But after writing my editorial Year In Review: 2008 Computer Hardware Industry Failure it seemed wrong not to taste the forbidden fruit... so I purchased a Sony PlayStation 3. Aside from the PS3 system, which quickly received an Editors Choice Award-winning Solid State Drive upgrade, I also purchased nearly two-dozen games and a Blu-ray remote control. I soon discovered that my racing skills were lacking... and I needed an edge. Enter the new-and-improved Thrustmaster Ru! n'N'Drive wireless gamepad, model 4160527. Now unplugged and built around the 2.4 GHz wireless radio band, this PC/PS2/PS3-compatible controller takes the Sony SIXAXIS to the next level and adds an optical wheel and under-belly triggers."
