Behold the nettop. It's a compact desktop computer with a notebook profile. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the MSI Wind Top AE2010-02SUS All-In-One touch screen desktop computer against an Intel Atom-equipped ASUS Eee PC netbook, Core 2 Duo notebook, and NVIDIA ION desktop system.

The LifeCam VX-5500 sits near the top of Microsoft's web cam offerings yet the E4C-00001 kit checks in at a very reasonable price point.

Since their advent, SSD's have been at the top of the wish list for any PC enthusiast. Crucial presented us with the CT128M225, their performance 128GB SSD. Deciding to wait until the market matured a little, Crucial released this new drive with an Indilinx Barefoot storage controller. This new controller is far superior to the JMicron storage controller that was in many first generation SSD's. Being the self proclaimed memory experts, their intuition was spot on. So does this new performance SSD have what it takes to match the price and performance of the big competitors in the market right now? The only way to find out is to read on.

Often overlooked and taken for granted, thermal paste is a necessary component in PC assembly and while the retail packaging for CPUs typically come with a heatsink and fan with thermal paste applied at the factory it typically isn't the best for ensuring that the maximum amount of heat is transferred from the processor to the heatsink especially if the CPU is going to be overclocked. Thermal paste is designed to take up the gaps between the heatsink and the IHS of the processor, thus eliminating the air in the gaps. Metal to metal contact is best for maximum heat transfer. There are many thermal pastes available, so which one does one choose from? We hope to shed a little light to this confusing topic.

Overall, the NZXT Panzerbox Classic Series case is very well made and attractive unit that is priced on par with other "mid-level" enthusiast cases. After lugging it around for a few weeks I can also say that while it is not the lightest gaming case I've ever had, it is certainly not akin to lugging around a boat anchor.

In this article, Benchmark Reviews will examine the Norco RPC-4020 4U rack mount server case. This case supports twenty data drives, plus a separate OS drive, and slim floppy and optical drives. With the density of hard drives available today that means you can stuff 42 Terabytes worth of data into a case roughly the size of a full-tower desktop case. If you're looking for a high density storage case, you'll be doing yourself a disservice not to check out this case.

For an entry level set of speakers, this offering from Eagle Tech is worthy of being on your short list. Sound quality is commendable for a 2.1 setup in the $50 price range, and the speaker enclosures are even made of wood which is something that isn't so common these days.

Are you thinking of purchasing a new computer? or simply just going to sell/give away an old machine? You may want to read this!
Most of us know before ever disposing of a computer, whether we are selling it, or simply getting rid of it for a new one we must format the hard drive to ensure nobody can get to our private data, banking details, pictures, emails etc. I am certain there is at least one piece of information on your computer that you do not want anyone to see, you may have deleted it in the past, but it can certainly still be lurking around in cache or temporary directories on your computer.

The competition among Solid State Drive manufacturers is reminiscent of the video card wars between AMD and NVIDIA a few years ago. The invention of new controller technology has slowed somewhat, while each company races to combine high-speed NAND with custom firmware tweaks to produce the fastest SSD speeds possible. The Indilinx Barefoot controller has exploited a dominant hold over the consumer SSD market during the past several months, and 'overclocked' Solid State Drive products are beginning to replace 'new' product designs. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the fastest MLC SSD we've discovered to-date: the 256GB eXtreme-edition Corsair X256 CMFSSD-256D1..

In my opinion, the new Lynnfield Core i7 processors are a very good step in the right direction. Through testing and benchmarking, when compared to a Nehalem system, the new Intel i7-870 packs a lot of punch for the dollar.

The Chieftec BL-01B Bravo L-Type case with VESA monitor mount surprised me. I was expecting it to be just another gimmick to try to get attention. While the design of the case is not for everybody, I can see many places where this would be perfect; a college dorm, a small apartment, virtually any place that you are restricted by space.
