Coolink GFXChilla VGA Cooler Review 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I've got a big 'ol review for you today, this one has been a few weeks in the making actually, and from my time with this product I've found it to be easily one of the best VGA coolers on the market today. Up on the block today is the GFXChilla VGA Cooler from Coolink and I've tested it with my ATI X1800GTO video card and with my two Nvidia 8600GTS video cards as well. I've got comparison results with the GFXChilla going up against names like Thermalright, Arctic Cooling, Aerocool and of course the stock coolers. One thing cool (pun intended) about the GFXChilla is that it is small and able to be used with my Nvidia cards in SLI. From my testing I've found that the GFXChiila is virtually silent and performs extremely well, especially if you consider just how small it is. In my testing u
Noctua NF-B9 92mm Fan Review 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Up on the review block today we've got a fan! Yep it's a plan old fan, well sort of, it's from Noctua so that should tell you that it's not just any plain old fan right? The NF-B9 is a 92mm fan that is very different from every other fan out there on the market today, it has teeth on the blade, well technically they are called Vortex Control Notches, but they look like teeth to me. Anyway, the NF-B9 also has beveled blade tips, and Noctua's own SC Drive system and SSO bearing to make for one very quiet fan that still can move quite a bit of air. So, let's just get right into this review...
Scythe "KAMA FLEX" 92 mm Silent Case Fan Review 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I learned something new recently... I never knew that Sony had anything to do with making fans or parts of them, but it shouldn't surprise me too much though as Sony seems to have a hand in pretty much everything. To for review I have a 92mm fan that features a fluid dynamic bearing by Sony that is supposed to last longer, be quieter and improve performance So for our 400th review on DragonSteelMods, I've got a fan! Yep, a fan, a 92mm fan from our friends at Scythe. It's their new Kama Flex 92mm Silent
Case fan, and I've found that it is very quiet and actually performs well.
Lapworks Attache Laptop Stand Review 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Lapworks ()latest product, the Attache LaptopStand
, it's labeled a stand but this version does feature two silent fans to help cool your laptop and it adds an additional four USB ports that can be used with your laptop. Let's find out if this newest product from Lapworks holds to their tradition of making inventive and useful products.

Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme CPU Cooler Review 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Today for review I've got the infamous TRUE CPU cooler, if you don't know what the TRUE is then you aren't paying attention. The Thermalright Ultra
120 eXtreme CPU cooler is very popular among enthusiast circles as the reigning champion of CPU coolers and most people will quickly recommend a TRUE to someone asking. So today I've got the TRUE for review, and I've put it to the test using both C2D and C2Q processors, is it all that? Well you'll have to read on to find out...
C2Q Q6600 Heatsink Roundup -12 Tested 0000-00-00 00:00:00 As a follow up to the Heatsink Roundup on C2D, I've got another batch of tests using a Core2Quad Q6600 CPU, I've got twelve coolers in all being tested. I've eliminated a couple coolers I used for the C2D roundup though as they were not adequate to cool the C2D so they would not be able to handle the C2Q, but I've added Liquid Cooling and the Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme to the testing charts. The same as before, you'll find testing involving the fans connected to the CPU header, connected to a Molex and of course coolers that are able to use no fan at all. For testing I've got names like Thermalright, JetArt, GlacialTech, Corsair, OCZ, Scythe, Noctua, Coolink and the Intel Stock cooler. To make all testing even I used Arctic Cooling MX-2 thermal compound on all coolers. This littl
Zonet ZNS8021 USB 2.0 Leather SATA Enclosure Review 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Zonet ()is that this Enclosure
is Xbox360 and PS3 supported. This is a nice feature to have, if you want to transfer or view media on your gaming consoles. So lets see how the Zonet ZNS8021 USB 2.0 Leather
SATA Enclosure stacks up against some other USB devices.
Aerocool I-Curve Mid-Tower PC Case Review 0000-00-00 00:00:00 There was a time when PC cases didn't have doors on them to cover their drive bays, then they became popular and it seemed that every case had a door on it, but lately though I've noticed a more even balance between the availability of a door or not. For me this is a nice thing, at one time I thought having a door on my case was cool, but eventually I realized it was more of a hassle than anything and now I prefer cases without doors on them. This is also good for everyone as well, it allows more choices for consumers and choice is always a good thing, this allows consumers to find the case that fits their particular style. Today for review I've got the Aerocool I-Curve
Mid-Tower
PC case, it's a very sleek and sophisticated chassis that should appeal to everyone. It's available in black o
Scythe Kama-Flex 80mm Case Fan Review 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Recently, Kris took a look at the Kama Flex 92 mm Silent Case Fan from Scythe, today, I will be looking at its little brother, the Kama-Flex 80mm Case Fan. Touting a 80000 hour life span and a fan speed clocking in at 1500, the KamaFlex looks like a great fan for keeping your case cool and quiet for quite some time. Like the 92mm version, the Kama-Flex 80mm Case Fan features the Sony developed S-FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearing) to provide quieter and improved performance. Lets take a look and see if this model matches the perfect score of the bigger version..
OCZ Rally2 Turbo 4gb USB 2.0 Flash Drive Review 0000-00-00 00:00:00 USB Drives are everywhere these days, with the price of flash memory falling you can pick them up with high capacities very cheaply. So with all of these choices is that cheap USB drive really worth it? Or are you just getting what you pay for? Up on the review block today I have the OCZ Rally
2 Turbo
4gig flash drive, the OCZ Rally series is very popular for it's speed and durability and has won numerous awards. I've got six other flash drives on hand to put up against the Rally2 to just see how fast it is compared to them, including OCZs own ATV Turbo and the speedy Super Talent 200X. Is the Rally2 Turbo all that? Continue on to find out...

SteelSeries is on the cutting edge of the gaming industry when it comes to accessories putting in countless hours in testing and research to come up with products that are truly the best out there. Today for review I've got the SteelSeries SX Gaming
Mousepad, and to quote SteelSeries: It is by far the most expensive mousepad we have ever produced, both in terms of materials, labor, quality control and the actual manufacturing process required to produce SteelSeries SX. For cost yes, it is an expensive mousepad, but in the end it is well worth it if you are truly serious about gaming, you can see and feel the quality of this mousep
USB Car Charger Adapter (Dual USB Sockets, 1000mA) Review 0000-00-00 00:00:00 USB powered devices have become ubiquitous in our society. They range from iPods to Cell Phones to Bluetooth headsets and many, many more. The problem with these devices is that sometimes when one is nowhere near a computer, they still need charging. Charging can become problematic, especially when traveling by vehicle. Luckily, USB Fever has the solution. They now feature the USB Car ChargerAdapter
. This neat device can charge two USB devices by running off the cigarette lighter in ones vehicle. Now charging a Palm, iPhone or cell phone, has never been easier. Lets take a closer look ..
Trendnet TK-408K 4-Port PS/2 KVM Switch Kit w/Audio Review 0000-00-00 00:00:00 KVM switches are one of those things that you either have a need for or you don't, but it's nice to know that they exist as they really do make life much easier. Today for review I've got the Trendnet TK-408K 4-Port PS/2 KVM Switch Kit w/Audio
and it's a basic KVM switch that works exactly as it should. I encountered no problems with it in the few months that I've used it, response time is excellent when switching between systems and it even supports high resolutions as well. So, read on to check it out...
3-in-1 E-SATA, SATA and USB 5-port Hub Combo Review 0000-00-00 00:00:00 USB Hubs are a very common product now, everyone has so much stuff that they seem to always need to plug something else in but there never seems to be enough ports to do it. Since there are so many brands and styles of hubs, what does a company do to make theirs stand out from the crowd and make you buy it over any others out there? Today for review I've got a product that not only adds five more USB connections to your computer but also adds an SATA port and an eSATA port. It seems to be a well made product with good intentions on creating something that could be very useful to many people out there. So continue on to learn more and see the tests that I ran...

OCZ Freeze Thermal Compound Review 0000-00-00 00:00:00 OCZ ()seems to have their hand in quite a bit and when they put their name on a product you expect something that performs well and is of good quality, and I've yet to see where that is not the case. Today for review I've got the OCZ FreezeThermal
Compound, when you think of OCZ you normally think of quality ram, but they are into cooling as most people know. The OCZ Freeze is another entry into the every growing lineup of instantly ready compounds, meaning they have no burn-in time required, something that I think most people appreciate greatly. Not only is the OCZ Freeze instantly ready but also non-toxic and very easy to apply. How does it stand up to others out there? Read on to find out..

Noctua NH-U9B CPU Cooler Review 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Noctua (), it's the NH-U9B CPU cooler. It's essentially a revision of the NH-U9F CPU cooler that I reviewed almost two years ago here on DSM. Yes, I've still got it on hand as well and I've found that the U9B is actually a bit smaller than the U9F, but yet gets better results, so they've done something right... The NH-U9B comes packaged with Noctua's own NT-H1 Thermal Compound and their new NF-B9 92mm fan as well. It includes mounts for popular CPU platforms, and even an extra set of fan clips to add another fan for increased cooling performance. As usual Noctua goes the distance when it comes to including nice quality extras with their products, but those extras don't mean much when the main product doesn't perform... So read on to see how the new Noctua NH-U9B CPU cooler performs and
Multi-Card Reader with Bluetooth Dongle Review 0000-00-00 00:00:00 USBFever () had sent me an interesting little gadget that incorporates a Bluetooth
dongle and a card reader in one small, portable device. At first I thought this was a Bluetooth enabled card reader, but it's not, it's actually a full featured BT dongle with a card reader built into it. I have to admit though, it would be a much cooler little gadget had it been a BT reader and dongle all in one...

Otterbox Laptop Case Accessory Kit Review 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Otterbox () , they offer quality, durability and protection from the elements as well. If you've got a rugged lifestyle, or just need good quality protection for your stuff, then Otterbox has got you covered. I've got, in my opinion, the best laptop case on the market today, at least for protection of my laptop. The Otterbox 7030 Laptop
Case protects my laptop from dust, dirt, water, shocks and even from being crushed but there isn't really any space to carry anything else with you but your laptop in the case, there are no pockets or anything like that. Recently Otterbox released an accessory kit for their 7030 Laptop Case, which allows you to now carry pens, pencils, business cards and documents easily inside your Otterbox 7030 laptop case. It's a two piece kit that att Read more:Accessory
ATT Tilt Review : Sort of... 0000-00-00 00:00:00 The cellphone I have for review today goes by a few names, be it the HTC Kaiser, HTC TyTn II, or the AT T Tilt, but no matter what name you give it there's no denying it's a great phone. The Tilt is arguably the best phone out there today and for good reason, just look around it has gotten rave reviews from everyone who has reviewed it. So I've got the Tilt for review today, but then I really don't have the Tilt for review today. When I first got the Tilt I quickly realized that it wasn't quite what I expected and it was a bit plain honestly, after doing quite a bit of research I found that AT T pretty much stripped all of the great features out of the phone when they got their hands on it, and of course like any good company, added all sorts of bloatware onto it. So I
Holster Clip for AT&T Tilt/TyTn II/8925 from Boxwave 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Boxwave () hooked me up with a nice 'care package' of great products for my Tilt. First of the accessory reviews for the Tilt is a Holster Clip, it's basically a plastic enclosure that clips to your belt and allows easy access to your phone while still holding it secure. In my time with this product I found it to be outstanding in quality, durability and usability. So read on to check it out and learn my impressions of it...
miniSync - Car Charger Bundle from Boxwave for ATT Tilt/ HTC Tytn II 0000-00-00 00:00:00 The ATT Tilt is a great phone overall, but AT T decided to not include things with it that comes with the TyTn II like a headset and car charger. Headsets of course are fairly easy to come by, and you've got many choices with them, car chargers are easy to come by as well and fairly cheap. When it comes to car chargers though do you really want to rely on some cheapie after-market device to safely charge your phone? Why not get one from a reliable source and still not pay much for it?In my ongoing set of reviews of accessories for the Tilt, the next up would be the miniSync - Car ChargerBundle
from Boxwave for ATT Tilt/ HTC Tytn II and it's more than just a car charger it's also a syncing cable as well to sync your phone to your PC. This bundle is inexpensive, coming it at und
