Generally speaking, the R9000 Pro is slightly faster than Nvidia's latest offering, GeForce FX5200. However, FX5200 comes out on top if FSAA is used, due to its way of handling FSAA, i.e. lower image quality than the R9000. Things will get real interesting when DX9 games hit the market, as R9000 series does not have DX9 support. Review Link : OCNZ
Innovatek Innovaset 2 Water Cooling Review
Many overclockers will appreciate the hurtles of air cooling after a while and realize that it's time to take their overclocking to the next level, water cooling. Physically, water can hold more heat than any other metals. The only fan required is a quiet radiator fan. Trading the traditional loud noise and inept processor temperatures for a water cooling setup is most ideal. The only visible downsides are the little maintenance procedures and important of all else, costReview Link : WinHQ
Samsung SM-352B CDRW/DVD Combo Drive Review
There is no shortage of read formats when it comes to the SM-352B. The drive specs that are listed on the box and from Nero clearly state that this drive will essentially read all media other than DVD+R/+RW. I was able to test this as I still had some of the media that I’d used from the Plextor PX-504A DVD burner review and I’m happy to say that I was able to read the DVD+R disk that we had made during our testing. Of course your mileage will vary as this is not an official supported format.

By now when you hear the word Shuttle, one thing that you can be sure, a company that has been well-known for it's line of mini barebone system or also known as the XPCs. From our initial review on the SB52G2 XPC, we are really impressed with the performance packed in a miniature system for as long as I've been very skeptical about small PCs, which tend to performed poorly.Review Link : myWorld Hardware
