Hi there, We've just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked it. TIA! "The PIXMA MP970 does everything well. The print head can be removed and cleaned or replaced without having to take it to someone else to be serviced, it is reasonably quiet when printing, energy efficient and produces excellent results. The owner's manual is well written, but the printer is so easy to use that the manual will not be needed much. The paper output tray can remain closed and will open automatically once a print job has started, and the hidden bottom paper cartridge is nicely tucked away and goes unnoticed. The slide/negative holder is also conveniently hidden away under the top of the scanner lid. Overall this all-in-one can outperform any HP or Epson product in the same class. Colour photo printing is accurate and monochrome printing offers laser-like quality. The only major downside is that it's very bulky - make sure you have enough room for this monster." http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk/rev.php?id=750 _____ Christian Harris Editor/Publisher BIOS (http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk) _____

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: X-Spice Kira CS 530W Power Supply Link: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/X-Spice/Kira_CS_530W Brief: Even though X-Spice is not a very well known brand name, they achieved what nobody else could do: building an extremely quiet power supply that is stable and affordable. We are testing the 530W model today and found that it could easily handle a Quad CrossFireX rig, and produced less fan noise under load than most other power supplies in idle.

Inno3D iChiLL 9800 GTX Accelero Xtreme review http://www.techspot.com/review/99-inno3d-ichill-9800gtx/ Early last month Nvidia released the GeForce 9800 GTX which today stands as the fastest single GPU graphics card money can buy. However, after almost sixty days of its release and with an eventual appearance of next-generation cards from both ATI and Nvidia, few manufacturers seem to be making pronounced efforts on modifying or improving the original Nvidia reference design. That is until we received the iChiLL 9800 GTX Accelero Xtreme from Inno3D, which features a mammoth heatsink that is cooled by no less than three fans. Those of you more educated in the arts of PC cooling have probably recognized by the name of this product that Inno has employed the new Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 9800 cooler. This cooler alone retails for ~$55 which is only good news for prospective buyers of this graphics card since it's retailing on par with other standard-equipped products at just $315.

Hi News Posters, I have completed the review for the XTracPads Pro Mouse Pad. Title: XTracPads Pro Mouse Pad ( -at -) Tech-Reviews.co.uk Briefing: The quest has been on in recent times to find the ultimate gaming surface. The criterion is clear: a smooth surface, high tracking, comfortable, grippy, and large enough for frantic movements. Here at Tech-Reviews we've been privileged enough to review most of XTracPads product range and they have so far all been superb products. With this in mind, Chris at XTracPads has crafted the Pro and sent it to us for review. Link to Review: http://www.tech-reviews.co.uk/reviews/xtracpads-pro-mouse-pad/ Thumbnail: http://www.tech-reviews.co.uk/images/reviews/hardware/xtracpadspro/thumb.jpg You may quote from the briefing above and use the provided thumbnail.

Title: Asus EN9800GTX 512MB Videocard Review ( -at -) HardwareLogic Quote: "Like many gamers, we anticipated a heated videocard war would take place this past year between Nvidia and AMD. But instead of a knock-down, drag out fight between two heavyweight contenders, we instead witnessed Nvidia dancing around the ring with its 8800 series GPUs while the company formerly known as ATI nary made an attempt at the performance crown. In recent months AMD has finally responded with its HD 3870, and while it still doesn't manage to regain the lead, it did prompt Nvidia to release a new series in its lineup, the 9x00. Or did it?"

Hello Webmasters and News Posters, NEW CONTENT (Casing & Cooling) - Noctua NH-C12P CPU Cooler QUOTE: "In the past when a new Noctua CPU cooler arrived on my doorstep, it was pretty much a given that I would have a new performance leader for air-cooled CPU heatsinks. Times are starting to change and I am beginning to have my doubts after the arrival of the Sunbeamtech Core-Contact Freezer and ZEROtherm ZEN FZ120. It is difficult to imagine anyone making a cooler than can rival the performance numbers achieved by these two products. Given the history I have with Noctua products, I still have confidence in the products and if anyone is going to dethrone the CCF and ZEN FZ120, Noctua will be the one to do it."

iChill GeForce 9600 GT ZEROtherm Hurricane review A Do-It-Yourself kit graphics card. <http://www.guru3d.com/article/ichill-geforce-9600-gt--zerotherm-hurricane-review/>'>http://www.guru3d.com/article/ichill-geforce-9600-gt--zerotherm-hurricane-review/> Luckily there are some NVIDIA board partners who try to do things differently & Inno3D is one of them. Actually I think Inno3D has like five or six different SKUs based on the GeForce 9600 GT, but one stands out. It's their GeForce 9600 GT iChill edition graphics card with ZeroTherm HC92 cooler. It's actually a DIY kit with the very best cooler we ever tested. Next to a standard overclock, the tweaking possibilities are even better. Did we just find the best GeForce 9600 GT that money can buy ?

Hello Everyone, VIA made quite a splash early this year when they announced the Isaiah CPU architecture, which was developed at their Centaur design center. At the time of the announcement, we spoke with VIA's Centaur design center president, Glenn Henry, to get a deeper insight into what VIA had in store with Isaiah, but we weren't given many hard details regarding final clock speeds and specifications, performance, branding, or availability. Today though, VIA is ready to disclose a few more details regarding the Isaiah CPU architecture. And we've got them available right here: URL: http://www.hothardware.com/News/Introducing_the_VIA_Nano_Processor/ Site: http://www.hothardware.com/ As always, a link in your news sections would be much appreciated! If you'd like us to return the favor, please don't hesitate to send your press

VIA's Isaiah processor architecture has been getting a lot of attention for being a strong competitor to Intel's Atom line of processors for the ULV CPU segment. Today VIA is officially unveiling the new Nano Processor line for mainstream desktops, notebooks and mini-notes (to name a few) and the specifications look impressive. URL: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=565 Quote: "If all goes as planned, the adoption rate for VIA's new processor should be swift as the CPU is pin-to-pin compatible with any motherboard platform built for the VIA C7 processor and uses the same bus technology and chipsets. This is something that Intel's Atom line of processors based around Silverthorne definitely cannot offer. Not only that but the VIA Nano Processor and accompanying platform can support many features that Atom leaves behind like full speed PCI Express buses." Thanks for a post!

A news post would be great. OCC has published a new review on the Corsair Flash Voyager 32GB Review Here is a quote from the review: Quote: "I remember, it seems just like the other day that I was amazed with my 32MB flash drive, and how much it could hold, and today I am testing the 32GB Corsair Flash Voyager, which amazed me yet again. While the speeds aren't the best, there does have to be some sacrifice for the massive amount of data that can be stored on the drive. Thumb drives are taken just about everywhere we go. Because of this they are sometimes subjected to less than ideal conditions for an electronic device. With the Flash Voyager line, Corsair has a drive that is water and shock resistant. Valuable assets in today's "go everywhere" world. Coupled with this ruggedness is the ten year warranty that backs up the device, so there are no worries about replacement for probably longer than this drive will be considered large."

Hi all, We have posted a review of ASUS' latest 7.1 sound card, the Xonar DX. Title: ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 Sound Card ( -at -) Techgage Link: http://techgage.com/article/asus_xonar_dx_71_sound_card/ Quote: ASUS finally antes up to the bang-for-the-buck table with a value-priced product in their Xonar family of performance audio cards. It’s got a solid feature set, and debuts with ASUS’ new DS3D GX 2.0 environmental DSP, but does it break new ground in the price/performance department?

Cyber Snipa Stinger Laser Mouse Review ( -at -) ThinkComputers.org Review URL: http://www.thinkcomputers.org/index.php?x=reviews <http://www.thinkcomputers.org/index.php?x=reviews&id=771> &id=771 Image URL (336 X 256): http://www.thinkcomputers.org/reviews/cyber_snipa_stinger/email.jpg Alt Image URL (194 X 150): http://www.thinkcomputers.org/reviews/cyber_snipa_stinger/thumbs/4.jpg Quote: "Most people probably haven't heard of the Cyber Snipa brand. This was the first time that I've ever used or even heard of their products. Don't let this fool you. The Cyber Snipa Stinger is quite a powerful mouse and if you ask me, a better mouse than most other high end gaming mice. It offers everything you can think of in a gaming mouse: ergonomics, comfortable, weight system, mice feet, and horizontal scroll just to name a few. Read on further to see how good this mouse really is."
