DoubleSight DS-70U, 7” LCD USB Monitor
Today for review I’ve got the DS-70U Smart 7” LCD USB Monitor for review and while you might think that seven inches is small, it’s perfect for running something like iTunes, Zune or Outlook instead of having it take up desktop space. You can also use it for most anything else like web-browsing and even watching a movie, pretty much anything you use a monitor for. The DoubleSight includes dual mounting options and even a cover so you can take it with you if need be, and it all connects via a standard USB port.

NZXT Sentry LX SEN-001LX Digital Fan Controller
With multiple core CPUs, multi-GPU video graphics sub-systems and hotter than hot mainboard north and southbridge chipsets it becomes necessary for most gaming computers to have more and more fans. With the fans comes noise. Of course there's water cooling, but not everyone is capable or even brave enough to give that a try. So what do you do? Well one option is to use a fan speed controller. There are many fan controllers available but today Benchmark Reviews will look specifically at the NZXT SEN-001LX Sentry LX aluminum digital dual-bay fan controller.

Eagle Arion ET-AR504LR-BK 2.1 Soundstage
Today for review I’ve got a budget prices set of very nice quality speakers, the Eagle Arion 2.1 Soundstage Speakers with sub-woofer. These speakers are well worth the cost, coming in at around $50, they feature a tweeter and dual mid-range speakers in each satellite, and a separate sub-woofer with LCD display on it with everything being able to be controlled with the included remote.

OCZ Summit 120GB SSD
The computer industry moves at a hectic pace, especially when you have technologies that are just becoming mainstream, and that's exactly where solid state drives stand today. Not too long ago now we completed our Solid State Drive round-up where we compared four popular SSD drives, including the OCZ Vertex and the almighty Intel X25-M. That was only two months ago, and now OCZ has brought a new contender in the form of the OCZ Summit which currently retails for $350 for 120GB. New on the OCZ Summit is a new Samsung controller with a larger 128MB cache. As you may have learned from our previous SSD round-up, it's the controller efficiency that can make or break a solid state drive's performance, so it will be interesting to see how this new arrival changes our outlook on today's best solid state drives.

Razer Mamba Wireless/Wired Laser Gaming Mouse
The name Razer will be familiar to most as the ‘nvidia’ styled gaming corporation that has brought to the table some fantastic products over the years they have been in existence. You only have to drop onto gaming forums to hear people recommending and discussing Razer products. I personally have never owned a Razer product so I am very much looking forward to this review, that I might discover how true these statements are

GELID GC-Extreme Thermal Paste
GELID is a company that was founded only a year ago but amongst the array of companies out there, it has managed to build up a reputable name for itself in the cooling department, a successful feat in itself. With their latest thermal compound offering, they are hoping to dethrone the market leaders such as Arctic Cooling and Tuniq to become a household name amongst enthusiasts. Can GELID's GC-Extreme really live up to its name? Let's find out.

Intel BOXD945GCLF2D Atom 330 Motherboard
For years, the focus on computers has been on faster, better performing systems. Recently, however, with rising energy costs and more environmentally conscious consumers, computer manufacturers have turned to designing machines that use less energy, cost less, and still have many of the advantages of modern computer systems. In the realm of mobile and energy efficient computing, two real competitors have recently emerged. Via, with their Nano chipsets named after biblical references, has dominated the field until recently; at least as far as pure statistic performance is concerned. Intel is the other name, and with that name they have competed quite fiercely for the lion's share of the mobile and ultra-economic computing market. But name is all they had to go on, since their products, the Atom series, have fallen short of the standard set by Via. With the release of Intel's newest Atom, though, that has a! ll changed. Benchmark Reviews is bringing you the down and dirty on the first ever dual core processor made specifically to combine improved performance with low energy consumption as we test the Intel BOXD945GCLF2D Atom 330 Intel 945GC Mini-ITX Motherboard/CPU combo kit.
