Hardware Roundup for Dec. 6

If you have been on the lookout for a hard drive enclosure, then you will want to check out both A1 and MVK Tech today. The Speeze and Spire enclosures both look pretty good, but are more basic than some others on the market. If our review of the newest Corsair 4GB thumb drive is too much to handle, then take a look at Techniz, where they are examining a Crucial model, weighing in at a wimpy 2GB ;)

techPowerUp! looks at the updated OCZ Gold 2GB modules today. Well, the only thing updated is the heat spreader, but they are some fine looking modules! Also on the storage front, Bit-Tech is throwing up a bout between Pioneer and Plextor, both wicked brands, to see who comes out on top. The winner may surprise you; it surprised me. Lastly, Overclockers Online and Guru 3D are both taking a glance at a new PSU from Thermaltake, and it looks to be a winner. It’s hard to describe how unique this product is, so definitely check out either of those sites for the review.
