Dear Editors, we just posted a new article which might be interesting to your readers. A post in your news section would be appreciated. Title: Rosewill R2-RAID Enclosure & RC-218 Controller Link: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Rosewill/R2-Raid Brief: The Rosewill R2 is a dual bay RAID enclosure for two 3.5" SATA HDDs. It supports connectivity via USB or eSATA. With the included software you can create RAID 0, RAID 1 or JBOD arrays for increased performance or data safety. Since eSATA offers the same performance as you would see from an internal drive, the RAID 1 performance is very impressive with over 108 MB/s.

Good day, Today Neoseeker takes a look at the new EEE PC, the 901, from Asus: http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/asus_eeepc_901/ "I think Asus has met its goals with the Eee PC 901 - decent performance, good battery life - good enough for a school day - and anyone who is disappointed with its gaming performance or high resolution video playback performance is missing the point of such a small ultra portable notebook." Thanks for any links, Kevin Spiess Editor, Neoseeker.com

Digit-Life Review: XFX nForce 790i Ultra 3-Way SLI and Zotac nForce 790i-Supreme Motherboards Excerpt: "We decided it would be logical to merge reviews of XFX nForce 790i Ultra 3-Way SLI and Zotac nForce 790i-Supreme into one article, because both products are, in fact, reference boards that were ordered by NVIDIA from its manufacturer. Thus, if you are going to buy something similar from another company (e.g. EVGA), this article will also be useful."

Hello, We’ve just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked it. TIA! “PNY’s XLR8 9800GTX OC is an overclocked version of nVidia’s 9800GTX, a solid card but not a huge improvement on the 8800GTX. Pitched at enthusiast games without the cash to splash on a spunky new GTX 200 Series, the XLR8 9800GTX OC is an attempt to inject a little more life into a once-flagship graphics card for just £30 premium (around £220). But with jaw-dropping GeForce 9800GX2 cards in the wild (two GeForce 9800 graphics processors on a single card), is simply overclocking a 9800GTX enough? The answer is yes - if value is considered.” http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk/rev.php?id=773 _____ Christian Harris Editor/Publisher BIOS (http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk) _____

Title: Tuniq Miniplant 950W Power Supply Review *Quote: *"Tuniq is a part of the Sunbeam Company, a company with the better part of a decade in the computing market. Tuniq makes a number of modder and enthusiast focused computer components. Their line includes cases, coolers, thermal compounds, and, of course, power supplies. Today we have one of those Tuniq PSUs; the 950 watt Miniplant. Is it a small powerhouse as the name suggests? Can it really dish out 950 watts from a PSU enclosure the size of a typical 500 watt unit?

Hello Everyone, We are writing to let you all know that we have just posted a new article at HotHardware in which we evaluate the features and performance of the Thecus N5200BR NAS Server. The Thecus N5200BR NAS Server is targeted at end-users with demanding network storage needs. It offers five SATA II drive bays supporting numerous RAID options, an LED status read-out, router capabilities and a host of other features to make it a serious contender for home users and in the commercial environment where a highly configurable NAS unit is a must. On the surface, the Thecus N5200BR looks to have what it takes to fit a wide variety of NAS needs, but we'll look below the surface to ascertain the strengths and weaknesses of the unit. Head on over to the site and check it out...

Hi all, We have just published an article about: The Team Fortress 2 Dispenser Mod.

Words can't even describe how awesome it is. While just making /one/ of these would be enough to drain the life of most modders, TiTON isn't even stopping at two - he intends to make the Sapper with a touchscreen LCD /and/ the Teleporter too! The real life incarnation of /Team Fortress 2's/ Engineer? We can only assume so. Just don't wear red around him. TiTON has gone to extraordinary lengths to create this set of scratch-built /Team Fortress 2/ themed case mods and we love them to bits. * *Cheers guys! Tim Smalley www.bit-tech.net

Title: ECS GF8200A Black & ASRock K10N78FullHD-hSLI ( -at -) Phoronix Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12579 Summary: "Back in April we had looked at the ECS A780GM-A, which was a nice low-cost motherboard and had worked well under Linux with the newer desktop distributions. This motherboard had integrated Radeon HD 3200 graphics, which we had found to perform well and equivalent to a Radeon HD 2400PRO discrete graphics card. However, for those interested in NVIDIA graphics, there is the GeForce 8200 IGP that also performs well on Linux. If you are interested in the GeForce 8200 chipset, today we are looking at two of the cost-effective motherboards deploying this chipset: the ECS GF8200A Black and ASRock K10N78FullHD-hSLI."

Hello Webmasters and News Posters, NEW CONTENT (Memory) - Aeneon XTune DDR2-1142 2GB Memory Kit QUOTE: "XTune is Aeneon's brand of enthusiast level memory modules. While our first encounter with the XTune was less than fantastic, we don’t reject companies from coming back with new products to try out. Today we have the newest addition, being a DDR2 package. That’s right; DDR2 still lives and it’s definitely not going anywhere soon. The kit sent to us is the DDR2-1142MHz overclocked pack with 2x1GB modules for a total of 2GB in Dual Channel; ideal for both Intel and AMD. These modules aren’t rated for Phenom’s 1066MHz memory controller, but that shouldn’t stop it from working with a bit of a boost in memory voltage."

There are also numerous new features/fixes that are part of the upcoming 3.2 release provided by the upstream Bugzilla community.
