"Having recently taken the time to see what HIS was doing with the HD 5750, today we'll be seeing what exactly is going on with the more powerful HD 5770. We've managed to have a look at a few HD 5770s since the launch of the model and they've all done an excellent job of impressing us.
It's time to see what HIS have going on and what they can offer us which stands out from the pack. We're not going to do anything too out of the ordinary today when it comes to reviewing the card; we'll first take a quick look at the package before we have a closer look at the card itself and the specifications."

I have been using two of Arctic Cooling's original Freeze 7 Pro heatsinks since they arrived on the market. To say that we have been pleased with the original would be an understatement. We have used them on everything from the smoking hot Intel 560 processor to favorite Q9550 and Q9650 processors. We have always been satisfied by the results that we have gotten with the original heatsink, So when we learned about this new revision 2 heatsink we just have to give it a try to see if it worked as well or perhaps better the the original.

Ever since Thermaltake introduced the 'Element' series of cases we have constantly been amazed by the number of features they have been able to come up with for this line of cases. If you look at the the Element cases we have reviewed in the past you will see we have not really been reviewing them in any sort of alphabetical order. Today we are going to be looking at the Thermaltake Element G case, this case has a number of sought after features that we will be pointing out as we go through the review, I can almost positively say that there will be at least one and possibly more features that you will like. So come on along as we check this extremely nice case out.

I don?t know if anyone else here watches "Ace of Cakes". It seems like every single one they make is bigger than the last. I?m always sure that they're going to topple over and cover an entire block with icing. He makes the coolest looking stuff, and his motto is; ?Make it bigger, make it badder, make it awesome.? I?m starting to think that EverCool took this lesson to heart when they started designing the Transformer series of heatsinks. When I reviewed the Transformer 6 last year, I had my doubts as to whether this thing?s weight would snap my motherboard like a twig. It was absolutely enormous.

"The 32GB SanDisk Extreme SDHC cards are very impressive to say the least. These are the highest capacity versions of SanDisk's fastest SDHC cards, with read and write speeds up to 30MB per second. They're ideal for use in the new breed of digital SLR cameras that record HD video, such as the Nikon D90 and D5000. The high performance of SanDisk Extreme SDHC cards help users capture fast-action images like the pros when using continuous burst mode, along with more rapid offloading of images and videos from the cards to computer. The SDHC card format also works on a variety of devices, such as digital picture frames, netbooks, and the new MacBook Pros and iMacs, for easy transfer and sharing of images, video and other digital files. You can never have too much memory, so if you are going all out on your camera body then a memory card like the 32GB SanDisk Extreme should be an easy choice..."

XClio are a company based in Taiwan and manufacture computer cases, power supplies, laptop coolers and fans with a focus on simplicity and practicality. On our review bench today we have the XClio Nighthawk case, a feature filled mid-tower chassis incorporating a special cooling system. XClio has a lot of competition in a market segment crowded with several hundred other mid-tower cases and so we will see if the XClio Nighthawk can stand out and distinguish itself with regard to construction quality, style, features and cooling performance.

"In 2006, Internet-direct merchant Oppo Digital caught a lot of attention by serving up super high-performance video and audio playback with its DV-970HD up-converting DVD player. Since then, Oppo has taken its success and poured it into improving and refining its products, year after year. Now, Oppo takes its brand of excellence and brings it into the Blu-ray disc age with the BDP-83 Blu-ray player. A true universal disc player, it will play SACD, DVD-Audio, HDCD (as well as just about anything else you can throw at it) - and will do it faster and better than most rivals. Though the Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray disc player is missing a couple of today's popular streaming media features and costs a bit more than its competition from LG, Samsung and the like, fear not. The device delivers where it counts and can hang with some of the most expensive high-end players available."

"As predictable as the co-eds which annually flock to Cancun during Spring Break, Canon updates its top-of-the-line G series compact digital camera every year. And why not: Enthusiasts consistently rave about the G Series, as does DT, given that this sophisticated digicam model is as close to a tweaky DSLR as you can get. However, it's hardly the perfect replacement due to its slow response times (1 frame per second versus 3 fps or more). Still, the PowerShot G11 is really the pinnacle for point-and-shoot options. Read on to find out why it's among this year's top scorers."

The Kingston 16GB DataTraveler Locker+ flash drive makes protecting your data just about foolproof, while still offering transfer rates to rival a typical flash drive. I had assumed that the hardware-based encryption and security software running from the drive would have an impact on performance, but real-world use and benchmarking proved me wrong.

The guys over at Enermax were kind enough to send me their silver Apollish in both the 120mm and 80mm sizes. I opened the packaging (another thing I like about Enermax; their packaging isn't hard to open) and removed the fans from the respective molded plastic enclosure. They really are very striking to look at. The silver finish is better than most chrome jobs on classic cars. The holograph Enermax logo adds that finishing touch of luster to the fan.
