Power supplies can exceed their specifications

OVERCLOCKERS CLUB PUBLISHED a review of Lapworks Futura Laptop Desk&Desktop Stand. This is pretty neat solution for all those overheating notebooks that are burning crotches worldwide, so you might check it out. Of course, unless you like this type of manpill.

SorX from XSreviews came up with a review of Zalman ZM-MFC2, a multi-function fan controller. Even though the fashion of using fan controllers has tuned down a bit, adding functionality such as monitoring power consumption of your computer really makes this product stand out from the competition.

Sean from ComputerShopper sent us news about review of EVGA's e-GeForce 8800 GTX Superclocked. Even though this board is not king of the hill in Nvidia's line-up, this product has a lot of horse power, sometimes even leaving default clocked 8800 Ultra in dust.

Phoronix published a review of Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 case, an interesting venture for penguin clad lads. It is a bit weird to see a review on the site that does not include talk about state of Linux drivers and so on… it's an interesting case anyways.

Driverheaven came up with a review of Corsair VX450W, a 450W power supply that comes with enough juice to run components that would require power supplies with far higher rated wattage if carrying brands from many companies on the market. Of course, do not expect miracles in multi-GPU configurations, since it comes with a single +12V voltage rail. LegitReviews and PC Perspective also showed up with a review of the same product, so you can compare these three reviews.

Rich Caporali from HardwareLogic wrote an interesting piece on system maintenance, or how to keep your computer running lean'n'clean.

Guru3D came up with a review of beQuiet! Dark Power Pro 1000W power supply, so it is interesting to see how much juice can a 1000W rated power supply give, especially when compared against lower marked models such as Corsair 620W or OCZ's Silencer 750W CrossFire edition. Given that Listan (owner of beQuiet! brand) is a german company, it is interesting to see Germans matching and exceeding its American counterparts. This 1000W power supply has plenty more juice in store than declared 1KW.

If you want to put your computer in a package which will turn a lot of heads around, think about Revoltec's Rhodium case, Listan's second brand intended for gaming peripherials. On the smaller side of gaming spectrum, lies a review of AluBoxDuo LAN, NDAS storage stacker, offering aggregation or RAID function for the hard drives. If you want to share your stash of… private data, you should check this one.

To end the enclosure part of today's roundup, we picked up a review of Antec Sonata III Mini Tower, a case that packs some potential.
