Dang, it's been a busy week, and I seem to have forgotten to post some news
Anyway, this is a brief overview of the news articles I received in the OTS Mailbox from May 3rd to May 5th, 2008:
- 3DGameMan posted a review of the Hiper Anubis Case, which is made from 100% high grade 6063-T5 aluminum using patented welding technology (translated as "strong" and "heavy"). Full review here.
- Legit Reviews takes a look at the NZXT Tempest Mid Tower Gaming Case. Retailing for under $99 this might be one of the most popular gaming cases for 2008. Check out the full review here.
- Hardware Pacers posted a review of the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000. Nice-looking thing, too. Check out the full review here.
- The folks at Bjorn3D takes a look at the Foxconn Geforce 9800GTX Extreme OC They then go on and pit this card against other mid-range graphic cards ranging from the last generation G80 to current generation G92 cards and even the HD card from AMD. Full review here.
- The gurus at JonnyGURU posted an article about the GlacialPower GP-PS550BP Power Supply, a budget unit featuring semi-fanless operation, passive PFC, and a promise by the company of being capable of full power to 45 degrees. Full review can be found here.
- Legit Reviews gives us a mouthful by reviewing the ECS GeForce 8800 GT 256MB Video Card - N8800GT-256MX, saying that the ECS N8800GT 256MB packs in double the memory with an available BIOS update giving you the performance of a true 8800 GT 512MB. That's a shitload of numbers of letters, but it makes more sense when you check out their full review found here.
- Virtual-Hideout gives a review of the Tuniq Miniplant 950w Power Supply, and they would like to reassure us that they didn't just review a portable nuclear device. But don't take my word for it, check their review here.
- Digital Trends makes an effort to up the estrogen in PC gaming by giving us a video article in their Player Only series, intuitively called Women Get in the Game. Pretty interesting video article, filled with interviews with hot women, and not-so-hot men (and women). Sorry, almost no interviews with actual women gamers here, but that might be a blessing in disguise... I think... uh, right, before I get mad emails from the women's movement, check their video article here.
- Hardware Logic reviews a nifty security device known as the Computrace LoJack for Laptops. For those of us scatterbrained enough to leave our laptops unattended, check out their full review here.
- 3DGameMan posts a review of the Honeywell Airlite 700 Wireless Bluetooth Headset. Swanky tool, almost makes you a professional urban hippie yuppie techie... hmmm, noun overload... whatever, check out their full review here.
