<description><![CDATA[Kit Guru have reviewed the budget friendly A4 3400 Llano APU (Accelerated Processing Unit).  This 32nm 2.7Ghz dual-core chip is based on the FM1 socket, supports DDR3-1866 memory speeds and features an integrated Radeon HD 6410D GPU with 160 shaders.  What's most impressive is the fact this processor retails for a mere $50, which opens the door for some very cheap yet well-rounded systems.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Tweak Town have reviewed the high performance dual channel G.Skill TridentX DDR3-2666 8GB (2x4) Memory Kit, which have timings of 11-13-13-35-2T @ 1.65v.
Let's see what they had to say:
"Across the board we can see strong gains in performance with a strong boost to write performance and improved latency. Here we've got a kit of RAM that runs extremely fast on the new Intel Ivy Bridge platform.
 
The addition of the Turbulence II cooler also slightly bumps up the price.]]></description>

<link>http://www.futuremark.com/news/60805_msi_nighthawk_mid-tower_case/</link>
<description><![CDATA[Techware Labs have reviewed the budget friendly MSI Nighthawk mid-tower case.
Let's see what they had to say:
"The Nighthawk’s design is surprisingly robust for its weight, and has a few really nice features. The card reader in particular is a feature I’d like to see included in more cases; the prevalence of digital cameras makes this a natural addition. The included fans are not terribly powerful, but they’re quiet, and positioned where they’ll do the most good.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Kit Guru have reviewed the KFA2 GTX 680 EX OC, which features a custom cooler and overclocked specifications.
Let's see what they had to say:
"With a high end discrete graphics card we have learned to expect a certain amount of noise, however the reference cooled GTX680 is surprisingly quiet. We have been saying it for a very long time, but AMD really do need to ditch their huge stockpile of tiny red fans and adopt a similar principle to Nvidia.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hardware Canucks and Guru3D have reviewed the new EVGA GeForce GTX 670 Superclocked, which features an improved heatsink and 6% overclock over the reference design.
Let's see what they had to say:
Hardware Canucks:
"With that being said, we feel that EVGA packed in just enough of an improvement to make this card worthwhile. Its clock speeds may not turn any heads but the subtle upgrades that went into addressing our concerns with the reference version deserve some major credit.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Bjorn3D have reviewed the gaming-oriented mATX GIGABYTE G1.Sniper M3, which is designed for the 22nm 'Ivy Bridge' processors, but is also compatible with current Sandy Bridge chips.
Let's see what they had to say:
"The board is a great performer and the CPU and memory both clock rather easily with the Sniper M3, but there is a bit of tweaking needed to get to really high clocks. The audio solution is quite strong and it sounds very nice in-game.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Tweak Town have reviewed the DMS Celerity 6G Plus, a SATA 6Gb/s solid state drive based on the SandForce SF-2281 controller and featuring 550MB/s read and 515MB/s write speeds.
Let's see what they had to say:
"When it comes to performance, the drive is a beast. A big part of that comes from the new 3.3.4 firmware, but the choice of flash also plays a role. The 6G Plus is also very stable, another credit to the firmware. This is the kind of SSD that you buy and use for several years.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Tweak Town have reviewed the new Inno3D GeForce GTX 670 iChill, which features a custom cooler and overclocked specifications.
Let's see what they had to say:
"Outside of the cooler, though, thanks to the strong overclock, which sees a core and memory clock come in higher than the GTX 680, on average we see performance that is ahead of a reference clocked GTX 680.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Metku have reviewed the Cooler Master Vengeance 1500 Gaming Headset.
Let's see what they had to say:
"Corsair Vengeance 1500 is a very felicitous product. Gaming headsets have been suffering from an unaccurate frequency response with overemphasized bass. Vengeance 1500 manages to avoid these traps by having a very neutral sound. It is difficult to recommend headphones or speakers, because preferences are very subjective.]]></description>

Let's see what they had to say:
"In conclusion I think this keyboard is a step in the right direction for Themaltake’s Tt-eSPORTS line.  The MEKA has good things about it, but would I recommend this unit over something like the Corsair Vengeance K60 Mechanical Keyboard? The answer is, “no.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Pure Overclock have reviewed the DeepCool Frostwin, which uses a dual tower, dual fan configuration.
Let's see what they had to say:
"The cooling prowess on the Deepcool Frostwin is excellent for a cooler of this size. It can’t quite match the performance of the top contenders but it does come close enough. However, with PWM fan control, RPMs can adjust automatically and noise levels stay low. Likely most importantly, the Frostwin is nowhere near the price of those premium coolers.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Pure Overclock have reviewed the NZXT Switch 810 full tower case.
Let's see what they had to say:
"Also worth mentioning are the well designed modular drive cages with tool-less caddies, and the four tool-less Optical Drive bays, one of which is a much welcomed hot swap bay. The night light on the back I/O panel was a unique and helpful addition as well, making cable plug in at the back a breeze in low light conditions.]]></description>
