<title><![CDATA[Patriot Xporter XT 32GB]]></title>
<link>http://www.xsreviews.co.uk/reviews/drives/patriot-xporter-xt-32gb/1</link>
<description><![CDATA[Having just fired out a review of their SSD, today I&#039;m picking up the mantle of another Patriot review. This one&#039;s the 32Gb variant of their Xporter line of pen drives. It&#039;s only USB 2.0 so I&#039;m not expecting mind blowing performance, but Patriot have said that this one has &amp;quot;200x performance speed&amp;quot;, so it&#039;s gotta be fast, right? ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Patriot Torqx XRB 64GB]]></title>
<link>http://www.xsreviews.co.uk/reviews/drives/patriot-torqx-xrb-64gb/1</link>
<description><![CDATA[One problem plaguing those that want an SSD at the moment is that there really isn&#039;t an option for those without deep pockets. There&#039;s no way getting round it, SSDs are expensive. However, you can help alleviate this wallet pressure by getting one without too much storage space. Today we look at one of the smallest available SSD sizes, a 64GB from Patriot known as the Torqx TRB. Let&#039;s see how it holds up against the bigger boys. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Antec recently announced a refresh to their performance one line of cases and they were kind enough to send a few for us to take a look at. Today we&#039;re reviewed the P193, the top of the performance pile. Let&#039;s see how it&#039;s features stack up. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It can&#039;t always be about the graphics cards, the gaming mice, the motherboards and the high powered speakers, right? Well no indeed, sometimes us reviewers have to look at something a little less exciting. Ladies and gents, may I present to you the BeQuiet Silent Wings USB 12cm fan. Let&#039;s check it out.

<description><![CDATA[While we may have reviewed this unit before and we may not be doing full PSU reviews unless we have access to the proper equipment, that doesn&#039;t stop us doing a quick unboxing and feature analysis review right? So here we have the Seventeam V-Force 650w ST-650Z-AF. Let&#039;s, you know, open the box and look at it; and stuff. ]]></description>

<link>http://www.xsreviews.co.uk/reviews/gpu-coolers/spire-slimod-ii/1</link>
<description><![CDATA[If you&#039;re using a high end PC, cooling is always going to be a problem and a priority for you. The obvious solutions to this issue are to attempt to insert more fans and heatsinks into your PC wherever necessary.

Spire are internationally recognised as a premiere producer of cooling technology that specialises in cooling for gaming PCs. But as usual, a name doesn&#039;t give you a pass in XSR testing, so let&#039;s see how their latest iteration of GPU cooler, the Slimod II stands up. ]]></description>

<link>http://www.xsreviews.co.uk/reviews/other-products/edimax-es5500-g-gigabit-switch/1</link>
<description><![CDATA[The easiest way to get yourself some faster network transfer rates is to throw a Gigabit switch into the mix. That&#039;s what I&#039;m looking to do today with the Edimax ES 5500G 5 port gigabit switch. Is it worth the money? Does it give good transfer rates? That&#039;s what we&#039;re here to find out. ]]></description>

<link>http://www.xsreviews.co.uk/reviews/audio-cards/auzentech-x-meridian-71-2g/1</link>
<description><![CDATA[Auzentech have been around for a few years now and that&#039;s a good thing; as well as being impressive. They entered the sound card game when it was all about Creative and they did so by simply taking a popular chip, the X-Fi, and throwing it on a board of their own with some nice tweaks. A winning formula. Now though, they&#039;re branching away from these roots with the re-tooled X-Meridian 7.1, named the 2g. Packing a C-Media CMI8788 audio processor with support for plenty of connectors, a daughter board and replacable OpAmps; audiophiles look like they&#039;re in for a treat. Let&#039;s see if the rumours are true. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Kingston have long been known for producing high quality memory products, from laptop/desktop memory to flash drives and SSDs. What we have today falls into the flash drive category. It&#039;s a 32GB USB 3.0 version of the DataTraveler series, the DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0.&amp;nbsp;Available in 16, 32 and 64GB versions and boasting some pretty quick read/write speeds it certainly looks impressive but how does it really do? Let&#039;s take a look.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[While mobile phones are certainly the gadget of choice that is seeing ever increasing numbers of features shoved into them, PCs have in-fact had this done to them for the last couple of decades. One thing that some people like to do is add TV watching functionality. If you don&#039;t want to do it with a PCI card of some kind, Compro are offering a USB friendly solution. Enter the Videomate U680F complete with remote and 1080i support. ]]></description>

<link>http://www.xsreviews.co.uk/reviews/graphics-cards/his-hd-6970/1</link>
<description><![CDATA[Each generation of graphics cards is made up of the kind of GPUs that most people buy, the mid-range and they have the budget ones which quite a lot of others buy. Then you have the monsters, dual chip and single. Today we look at the latter one from HIS, the HD 6970. A giant card with expected impressive performance; though you know this is going to pull a lot of power. Let&#039;s see how much. ]]></description>

<link>http://www.xsreviews.co.uk/reviews/other-products/choiix-power-fort-55whrs/1</link>
<description><![CDATA[With the ever expanding use of smartphones and other clever little electronic gadgets, one problem the world is starting to come to terms with is that there is just never enough power to go around. Lugging around chargers can be a real pain, especially if you need a different one for each device. However, Coolermaster have produced what a few others have done, a backup power supply. However, this isn&#039;t its first iteration, this new version of the Power Fort comes with a simple USB interface hoping to standardise backup charging. Let&#039;s see if it&#039;s as effective without the myriad of charge heads. ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Sunbeamtech Twister 120]]></title>
<link>http://www.xsreviews.co.uk/reviews/cpu-coolers/sunbeamtech-twister-120/1</link>
<description><![CDATA[Here at XSReviews we&#039;ve seen a multitude of CPU coolers over the years from the good, the bad to the ugly. One thing we can say though is that the tower format heatsink has undoubtedly prevailed as the base concept for the majority of designs. Whilst each manufacturer opts for their own variation of fin spacing, sizes, fan combinations etc., ultimately the initial design can be boiled down to a tower of aluminium fins.

Naturally, the cooler sat in front of us today is no different. With the tower layout firmly at the heart of the Sunbeamtech Twister 120, we&#039;re looking at small variations, in comparison to competing heatsinks, to set this cooler apart from the crowd: let&#039;s take a closer look to see what we&#039;re dealing with.]]></description>

This one is known as the Spawn, but will it foster a growing sense of, spores, or something... in us? Only one way to find out. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Fractal is penetrating the computer case market with affordable quality cases. Optimal for modding and always improving their current models for better performance and optic impression. Recently the Define R3 replaced it&#039;s R2 predecessor and now Fractal has introduced the performance Define XL case; the larger sibling of the R2/R3 cases which offers everything these cases have and a bit more. Or at least, so says Fractal. ]]></description>
