HIS X800XL IceQ Turbo Review
When comparing the performance to cost ratio I think you’ll have a tough time finding a card that performs as well at this price. It ran all of the current popular games well at the midrange resolutions (1024 X 768 and 1280 x 1024) of course if you insist on running at 1600 x 1200 with max AA and AF you might want to consider looking at a more powerful, and generally MUCH more expensive card.
Similar performance for 40% less money sounds like a great buy. Check out the full review at Viper Lair.
Zalman Real 5.1 Channel Heaphones Amplifier Review
The Zalman ZM-RSA Headphone Amplifier is definitely the PERFECT companion for the Zalman ZM-RS6F Theatre 6 headphones. If you want your very own cinematic/console gaming experience and have about USD$70 (Amplifier) + USD$45 (Theatre 6) to spare, I’ll definitely recommend you to go get the combo, because it really adds a new private dimension to gaming and cinema especially you don’t have top of the line 5.1 channel surround sound BOSE speakers to complete your Home Theatre experience, this comes pretty damn close.

ThermalRock Eclipse Mid-Tower Case Review
The first thing you will notice when unpacking the Eclipse case is how light it is. Because the Eclipse comes with no power supply and is constructed of aluminum, it weighs in at only 13.5 pounds. Along with its compact size, this makes it a very good candidate for a LAN party rig.

Sunbeamtech Pro Series EL Keyboard & Blueflame ELMouse Review
Today 3DXtreme is presenting a review featuring two new products from our friends at Sun Beam. The Pro Series Illuminated Keyboard and Blueflame Illuminated Mouse arrived recently for us to put through them through the paces. I believe the keyboard is the answer to the Saitek series of backlit keyboards and the mouse is an illuminated 800 DPI optical mouse. The Blueflame mouse is Sunbeam’s answer to the Logitech MX-510 series of mice. Let’s see how these new Sun Beam products perform.

Thecus N4100 IP Storage Appliance Review
If you’re looking for a new means of storing and protecting the vast amount of data you have somehow managed to acquire, then ask yourself whether an IP storage solution would be feasible for you. If you really need a 100% uptime, network attached storage device with access control and hotswap array rebuilds, and you don’t mind the 7 hour RAID 5 build (which is only likely to be an issue once,) then the N4100 is worth considering. Just bear in mind that 900GB of protected network attached storage in a sexy black box will set you back a grand.

Google buys Zazzle
Google, the online search giant, have invested $16 million in Menlo Park, California based, online marketplace company called Zazzle. Just two years old, the web based, Amazon/Dell-type store is where people buy and sell customized T-shirts, stamps, posters prints and other gifts and artwork.
Wow, that’s quite a pretty penny. Zazzle is a popular online store, could be better with Google in charge. Check out the full news at Stellar Bay. Source: digg
NVIDIA G71 Dual Slot?
We have learned that several boards achieved a clock speed of 800MHz, which just goes to prove that tweaks being done in 110nm G71 core will make R520 tremble, and force ATI to respond with its 32-pipe R580 as soon as possible.
Ok, if this is correct, then two things are going to happen. People who bought a 7800GTX are going to be pissed, because if this card can reach a 800MHz core, I’m sure it will have 32 pipes. Then other people, will be pissed, because with those specs, the card is going to be freaking expensive. Of course, this comes from the Inquirer.. so we will have to see if this proves true or not.

First Xbox 360 shots in the wild in the wild
Picture the scene; this kid’s dad comes home from his first day working at Microsoft’s next-gen console lab with a big brown box. The kid rips open the box, takes out next-gen console and gets his friend to take pictures of him playing with it.
Wow.. idiocy. This kids father will be lucky if he remains at MS. Unless of course, this is a cheap ploy by MS in some bizarre way. The kids not using an ordinary console though, it looks like a dev kit. Check out the full post at Joystiq.
Intel Itanium Advances

Apple Sells 500 Million Songs!
Our modelling had anticipated the 500m mark to be passed late June or early July, but the growth rate isn’t so far off the forecast, and the company is still on track to sell its billionth song in December, probably towards the end of the month.
Huge grats to Apple, because that’s quite a number. The last couple hundred thousand songs were selling FAST. In fact, they sold 900,000 yesterday alone. The person who bought the 500 Millionth song, won 10 iPODS, 10,000 tracks and Coldplay tickets. Check out the posting at The Register.
SunbeamTech Chromatic Windmill Review
Although we’ve only recently begun examining SunbeamTech products we’ve known of their long product legacy for quite some time. One of the areas that SunbeamTech specializes in is the market for controller/multi-function panels. In this review, we’ll be checking out the SunbeamTech Chromatic Windmill.
This panel has a great look. I like the fact that the back is covered up so you don’t see the PCB. Check out the review at Phoronix.
Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 200GB Hard Disk Drives Review
The 200GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 SATA NCQ drives earn praise for several reasons. The results from the various tests show that this generation of drives provides a performance boost over the previous generation, whether the system is capable of implementing NCQ or not. The availability of NCQ just makes the drives even more appealing for those with a system (or controller) capable of taking advantage of this new technology.
