From movies, to games to music, these headphones are possibly the best sub 100.00 dollar headphones out there; they give you everything you want out of a headset. The quality of AX51 headphones is great, they are solid, comfortable, and not too heavy and best of all they sound awesome. If you are looking for a new headset, whether it's just to replace your old set or to appease your neighbors who always seem to complain about those gunshots coming from your place at all hours of the night. You can't go wrong with the AX51's at around 70.00 dollars these headphones give you the best bang for the buck. An easy Editor's Choice is earned here.

For hardcore gamers, eDimensional's AudioFX Pro 5+1 is a must have. It combines the positional sound capabilities of a surround sound system with the precision and noise-isolating power of a headset; the microphone is just an added bonus. Comfort is also an advantage for this headset thanks to its soft leather-like ear cups. All in all, the headset's build seems sturdy. If you can look past the puke-colored color scheme and the gaudy LEDs, the AudioFX Pro 5+1 is a solid product which may very well be worth its high cost.

Honestly, Corsair has surprised me with this unit. After examination of its simple internal design and small heatsinks I was not sure if unit will be able to perform well. But TX650 has exceeded my expectations! During my testing, the Corsair TX650 650W power supply was very stable and did not have any failures or other performance issues. The voltage fluctuations were minimal and the voltages stayed well within ATX standards.

There's no mistaking the EOS 40D for one of the zillions of point-and-shoots or entry-level D-SLRs like the Nikon D40 or Canon Rebel XT.

The Vice President of Business at Aeneon said that the, "new XTUNE DDR3 memory series? will leverage the enthusiasts' performance experience and demonstrate the DDR3 main advantages as one of the first products in the market: offering high-speed computing as well as limiting power." Rated at 1.5V, these modules certainly run at lower energy consumption than recent DDR2 modules that have been released at 2.0V stock, but as one of the first kits on the market, can it provide the performance we're hoping for?

We're writing to let you all know that we've just posted a new article at HotHardware in which we evaluate the features, performance, and overclockability of Corsair's current flagship Dominator TWIN3X2048-1800C7DFIN G DDR3-1800 memory kit. As its name implies, this 2GB (2 x 1GB) memory kit is rated for operation at 1800MHz with a CAS latency of 7. But it is also one of a select few memory kits to support Intel's Extreme Memory Profiles, or XMP. And it turned out to be a heck of an overclocker too. Head on over to the site and check it out...

Lets find out what the VX2255WMB offers.

SOYO was established around 1999 at the time when computer hardware was easy to list off in your head. Their Dragon series of motherboards were excellent and many enthusiasts employed their boards for computer builds. Today, SOYO is a vastly different company. Gone are the motherboards but SOYO has reinvented itself and now produces displays. They have a partnership with Honeywell for dual branding. Today, we are looking at the Topaz S 24" LCD Widescreen Monitor.

Most cooler reviews are of products designed for the latest, greatest and usually hottest GPUs. But what if you have an older system, with a once powerful 6600GT or x800? The fan dies or you want to squeeze a few more MHZ in your OC, where do you turn? Well, Gigabyte of all companies have made the Cyclops, which comes with changeable front covers, RAM sinks and a solid aluminium core. Let's see how our 6600GT feels with it attached.

SilverStone opened its doors in 2003 and quickly became known for its stylish and quality system enclosures (that's fancy for "computer cases"). Headquartered in Taiwan, they also have corporate offices in the USA and Germany. Along with diversifying their location, they have diversified their product line. SilverStone sells hard drive enclosures, CPU coolers, system fans and, you guessed it, power supplies! We have one of SilverStone's PSU on the bench today in fact.

Since AMD acquired ATI to do its chipset bidding, we haven't seen much from NVIDIA for the Athlon 64 and Phenom platforms. The first new generation chipset designed by NVIDIA to support the Phenom and Athlon 64 processors has arrived; codenamed the MCP78, it has officially been given the name "GeForce 8200". NVIDIA's main focus here with the GeForce 8200 is Hybrid SLI. This is a new design that has been thought up to combine the power of a discrete graphics card with the extra unused power of the onboard GPU.
