The NZXT Hades is actually a fairly interesting product. I guess that’s why they dropped one on my doorstep for me to have a look at. I apologize for this being such a long unboxing, but it’s hard to really demonstrate a case well without taking a while. Also I’m not too good at case unboxings since I haven’t done many, so I got a little lost in the middle of it and started to ramble. Oh well.

ATI seems determined to have a top-to-bottom DX11 lineup ready before nVidia releases a single DirectX 11 card, and here’s yet another card in that ~$100 price bracket that fills in a performance/price gap in the current product mix fairly nicely. This isn’t REALLY a gaming card, but it does have a little bit of oomph, especially compared to any low end or onboard solution, and it does have the full 5000 series feature set including 7.1 audio via HDMI, eyefinity, and DirectX 11 of course!

Gigabyte’s come out in full force with H55 boards, and this is one of their highest end ones. It features (you guessed it) USB 3.0, which means that you can get 10x the data rate of a conventional USB 2.0 connection, which means much faster connections to your data and devices!

The 7G has been a staple for professional gamers for a long time, but that doesn’t prevent me from taking a “first look” at it. It’s not a real first look, mind you, because I’ve used this keyboard extensively in the past (and I love it), but it’s a first look for you all, so I’ll go ahead and call it that.

Today I look at a video card that isn’t really new, but it’s still got an interesting story behind it. Palit is back in North America for one thing, and for another they’ve brought their innovative designs in full force. This is a very unique looking GTX 260 compared to the others that are available in the US and Canadian markets right now.

The Truepower New series of PSUs has been out for a while, but they have some features that are actually kind of unique compared to the rest of the Antec line up. First of all, unlike the PSUs above or below them, they have 120mm fans for cooling, whereas the rest use 80mm fans.

This is a very cool product. It’s so cool that I’m just going to make you watch the video to find out what it does!

Another H55 board. Honestly there’s nothing particularly glamorous about looking at these H55 boards, but it’s great to know that there’s finally a value option out there that nets you performance that’s almost equal to the older i5 and i7 CPUs in 2-threaded applications.

Just having a quick look at a power supply that’s been a great value over the last few months and many of our users have been very happy with. There’s nothing particularly stand-out about it except that it offers a stunning value and excellent quality in that we’ve seen almost none of them back!
