WITH NVIDIA lifting the restrictions on factory overclocked G80 cards users can start to look forward to cards like the Gainward Bliss 8800GTS 640MB Golden Sample - Overclocked! reviewed here by TweakTown. As you would expect this card will beat a standard clocked 8800 every time, and is only slightly more expensive, so if you're looking for that bit of extra power without voiding your warranty then this is a card for you.

TechLounge takes a look at the Logitech NuLOOQ Navigator which is an interesting little device designed to be help in your off-hand, in other words the one usually confined to the keyboard. It takes a little getting used to, but people like graphic artists and the sort may find it very useful.

Bjorn3d tightens up security with the Kristanix Software's Password Protector 2006 and although there are few design flaws the concept works well and allows users to maintain all their passwords and such without having to rely on using the same one over and over again.

XSreviews has been taking the fragging of n00bs to a whole new level with the SteelPad 5L and although some people may consider the price tag a bit high for a mouse pad its hybrid surface makes for a comfortable and responsive experience.

BIOS magazine has scooped the Brother Fax-1560 - UK EXCLUSIVE! and looks like this particular offering falls a little short of the mark. It's aimed primarily at home or small office use, but those users may be better off getting an all-in-one scanner-fax-copier model instead.

XSreviews has been powering up with the Enermax Infiniti 720W PSU and it looks like this PSU is a great choice if you don't mind paying for quality.

ChileHardware has been having fun with its review of the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii. The results are pretty much what you'd expect, the 360 looks good and its ability to network with your Windows PCs for media is a plus, and the Wii is innovative and a lot of fun, although the graphics are not nearly as impressive.

HardwareLogic has taken a step back in time to reconsider a technology that never really took off, but has managed to hang around, in its Quick Look - Lightscribe Anyone? In case you don't know Lightscribe is technology used to burn a picture on the top of a CD or DVD, but unfortunately you need a special drive and special media to do it. These days however the drives are about the same price as a normal writer and the media is also reasonably priced as well, so if you want to add that bit of extra polish to your optical media then be sure to check it out.

Rbmods brings us its Rosewill RCX-Z2-EX CPU Cooler Review. This little cooler is great for small form factor cases or just people who want better and quieter cooling than the stock cooler can provide. ยต
