Best bang for buck motherboard tested

FORTRON IS a relatively unknown PSU - but it seems that in the world of power supplies, this cheap brand is silently building itself a solid brand. Matbe reviewed the Fortron Green 400W while German website Dirkvader.de reviewed the Fortron Fanless Zen, a 300w Fanless model.

In the second review, the Fortron gets compared to the likes of Silverstone, LCD power and Deltatronic and does manage to get a thumbs up. Meanwhile Matbe tests the £30 model from Fortron. Matbe says that it compares to PSU's like the Seasonic and the Antec Phantom which are several times more costly than the Fortron model.

Malaysian website PCmodding.my and British 3DVelocity review Sansun products - no not Samsung. The first checks the Sansun 500w Arctic PSU. It probably got it name because it is a white power supply. Bestowed with a modular cable system, it has two fans as well as connector for PCI-e as well as six different types of protection.

It performs decently, supports ATX 12v 2.03, comes with sleeved cables and doesn't cost the earth. As for the other Sansun product, it is a casing codenamed the Bat. Nothing really distinguished its outside from other themed casing you might buy elsewhere. Look around and you will certainly bag yourself a better bargain.

Bytesector tests the HP Photosmart 475 Photoprinter. What strikes you first is the fact that this little printer has 1.5GB of internal memory. Printer with that much internal memory? The quality and the speed are there, in line with what you would expect from a high end HP product. Also emphasized is the importance of the paper used.

The newly born Biostar T-Force 6100-939 is reviewed at Sudhian. The 6100 houses a graphic engine which is limited to two pixel pipelines but supports SM3.0 and is DirectX9.0; more marchitecture than anything else since its performance should be roughly on par with a FX5200. Quite cheap, powerful and probably one of the best value integrated s939 mobo to date. µ
